Drinking and driving don’t mix.
I suspected he might do this given his wild lane changing, so I anticipated and avoided hitting him.
The thing is, I drive a F250 Super Duty. Had I rear-ended his little car at that speed, which he was apparently hoping for, he could easily have died.
He was so filled with rage he attempted suicide out of, I guess, spite.
What is “road rage”? I’ve seen the term used to describe to things: 1) A driver who reacts to routine driving situations with violence, and; 2) The reaction to someone driving like a complete a-hole.
Number 1 can be controlled if we all just take a breath and calm down. However, if number 2 continues, we’ll still have these incidents.

A motorist killed Sunday afternoon near Interstate 405 in Kirkland in a possible case of road rage involving two other vehicles was a tech geek who loved music, photography and his family.
“He’s a fantastic exceptionally brilliant wonderful man,” said Neal Karlinsky, a friend and neighbor of Steve Lacey, of Kirkland. “He loved being a tech geek but he wasn’t a tech geek. He never knew how brilliant he was.” Lacey, 43, a father of two, worked for Google and used to work for Microsoft on its games....
Lacey had just run out from his home for an errand at Costco...He died at the scene.
One great quote I read: “It’d be a better world if we acted like our bodies were strapped to the bumpers.”
