"Road rage", competitive driving (on our highways, not race tracks!) and rank stupidity seem to be on the rise! I've experienced similarly stupid behavior over the past nine years of driving my Camaro. It's small and sleek - one of those cars which look like thry're breaking the speed limit when parked at the curb. Of course, there's the occasional driver who wants to prove their acceleration is better when a traffic light turns green :-) What amazes me is the huge number of drivers who attempt to pass me ("she's got a handicapped plate - she's going to slow me down!") when they have to go 15 mph over the speed limit and indulge in unsafe lane-changes to do it!! (Haven't they noticed that I'm exceeding the posted limit by an average of 6-10 mph over the speed limit???!!!
