In reply to the discussion: 60-year-old man fatally shot in road-rage incident on Interstate 5 near Tacoma [View all]Lonestarblue
(10,106 posts)I live in Texas, and this state thinks its just great for everyone to open carry and always have a gun in the car in case you need to shoot someone! Its insane, but road rage is a serious problem here, and motocyclists are often the most vulnerable. A couple of years ago, a man near Houston thought a cyclist had cut him off so he chased him down and caused the cyclist to crash, killing him. I have lived and driven in the largest cities in New York, New Jersey, and Massachusettsand the drivers here are the worst I have ever experienced. Every time I go out, I go into defensive mode and assume that every driver around me is going to do something stupid. And they do but I rarely use my horn. You never know when a nut will just stop and try to shoot you! One of the worst offenses here is running red lightsnot just when theyre changing but also when they have changed and the cars in the other direction are already moving into an intersection. Just nuts!
