Road rage etiquette
Keeping up with the flow of traffic on the highways where I live usually means doing 10-15 miles per hour over the speed limit, this morning was no different as I was doing 70 in the passing lane of a 55mph stretch of road on my way into work. I’m not advocating speeding, however I wasn’t blowing past any other cars and wasn’t riding the bumper of the person in front of me, merely keeping up with the flow.
Everything was going just fine until a work van started to ride my bumper, badly. Keep in mind, I’m already doing 70 in a 55 and passing cars on my right. Clearly this is not good enough for the person in the van.
After a mile or so I pull into the right lane so they can pass and start to wonder how stupid they could possibly be. See, they were driving a work van with their information clearly displayed.
- Company logo
- Slogan
- Phone number
- Website
- Vehicle number
If you are going to have road rage or piss someone off while driving, do it in a non-descript vehicle. Putting the name of your company or the name of the company you work for an all contact information just makes it easier to report you to both the police and your boss. Put your thinking hat on before you decide to run someone off the road.
