I have never seen a road rage incident that can’t be defused by just moving over to the slow lane and doing 5 mph below the speed limit. You typical road-rager is angry because he is in a hurry, and will not be able to drive that slow. After a few minutes, he will be speeding off to torment his next imaginary enemy.
But to get back to NJ cops...
In my town, the cops started doing off-duty security at the local grocery stores, and were permitted by the stores to take groceries as part of their compensation. Well, the situation escalated, and by the time all was said and done, the cops were diverting one in three trucks making deliveries to the two local grocery stores to their own warehouse. They operated their own grocery store, called Groceries for Less, with a big sign out on the road, and everything.
The Feds finally came in and broke it all up. But this went on for a years.
Visit the link on the nj cops I posted from the nytimes. They had it all figured out.
And every driver on the GSP during rush hour is a road rage driver. We didn’t call it the deathrace 2000 for nothing.
