The chase ended near Clermont when the driver of a Toyota 4Runner tossed a disposable cup at Shannon Leslie Cooper, 24, who was driving a Ford Explorer. The damn SUVs made 'em do it.
But seriesly, my theory is that there'd be a lot less road rage if everyone rode a motorcycle. Discuss.

"Men are usually more aggressive, but that doesn't mean they are the only ones who are aggressive." This statement seems just so stupid in so many ways....

Let me say up front that I am not calling for a SUV ban.
But
SUVs certainly make one feel less vulnerable and may encourage aggressive behavior. If we all drove around in small cars with a large spike protruding from the steering wheel, you can bet wed see more courteous drivers.
Not that Im call for that either.

Here is southeast Michigan, my personal experience is that the middle-aged female, as in this story is a growing traffic hazard. And as in this story they are driving an SUV.
To: martin_fierro
It's liberal Hollywood's fault.
Female road rage is caused by an overt use of females acting in masculine roles. An effort to combine seductive females with machismo and action into one package that hooks the male viewership. The phenomena - a fantasy among women - who women think they can be just as bad as men, as tough as men, and fight as good as men.
As we all know, women can't fight there way out of a wet paper bag. ;^)
Discuss.

Women behind the wheel of any large vehicle scare me to death. The women who drive school buses are the worst. The ones where I live are maniacs. I can't count the times that I have almost been hit by one of these women bus drivers. I think the large vehicles give them a sense of power. Add a cellphone, and you really have a problem! BTW -- I am a woman!

Asian women are the worst. I've seen them back up at red lights, go the wrong way, even stop in the middle of the freeway to get on the exit ramp. All those stuffed animals in the back seat make it hard for them to see... being 3 foot and some inches tall to begin with.

"hell hath no fury...."
That saying was around long before Frued, in one form or another.
To: martin_fierro
My theory is that road rage often occurs because people feel they can vent their anger and frustration with the world and get away with it.
Some drivers make no sense at all. Tailgate rather than go around when it's easy to pass, you're looking for a fight.
And the worst drivers of all are the ones coming out of the church parking lot on Sunday. They drive like Dale Earnhardt back from the dead.
