Road Rage

I was talking to my son about stupid or inconsiderate drivers. Well, the conversation took a turn at: What would be the benefits if it was legal to shoot morons?<BR>(Laugh here)<P>1.) Less traffic.<BR>2.) Increased public transportation.<BR>3.) Less polution and car would last longer due to less desire to drive.<BR>4.) Great for population control and improving human race due to darwin effect.<BR>5.) Great for auto industry making cars with bullet proof glass.<P><BR>Can anybody think of any others?

You need a front fender that holds a dent to live in Boston.

Re: Road Rage

Funny thing....<P>When I drive one of the Reattas, everyone seems to be cutting in and out, endangering life and limb.<P>But when my wife drives the Range Rover (with massive Rhino guard upfront), no one seems to interfere.<P>Interesting...<P>Jerry

Re: Road Rage

Interesting Southern California story: Guy was convicted of road (freeway) rage and reckless driving here in L.A. Judge ordered that he place a picture of his two small children over the speedometer. Wonder if it'll work...?<P>Jerry

Re: Road Rage

Very few people try to intimidate me while I'm in the '68 4-door Tempest, except for a few of the SUV's. But I dont let them rattle me. After all, how many of those SUV's will make it to be 34 years old and still running?<p><P>I wonder how many of the people that cut me off in the Tempest realize that I have 4-wheel drum brakes without power assist.<P>Maybe the solution is to make everyone drive some kind of rare or semi-rare vehicle that's hard to get parts for. Then maybe they wouldn't take so many chances.<p>[ 07-01-2002: Message edited by: Jim D ]
