Highway Driving Etiquette

Road rage is behavior displayed by a driver of an automobile or other motor vehicle which causes collisions, incidents, gestures, some times death on roadways. It can be thought of as an extreme case of aggressive driving. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_rage

I just thought that I would grab the official or at least wiki definition of road rage. Not sure where folks brains go when they get behind the wheel of their car. Just a little vent before getting back outside for a spell.

• The passing lane is just that the passing lane.
• The on-ramp is intended for you to speed up to match the highway speed.
• Ditto goes for the off-ramp except you are slowing down.
• Why not let folks merge? Will it really make you that much later for your event?
• If you are in the fast lane and I flash my high beams, that means get out of my way.
• It doesn't mean....Hi How are ya?
• If you have your turn signal on and I turn my running lights off then back on, that means it is ok to merge.
• Tailgating me usually gets me to slow down not speed up.
• How in the world can you miss my car with the kayak on top?

Please feel free to add you own pet peeves or directives on how folks can better utilize and share our public highway system.

Much love,
