Is it me or is road rage on the rise? We live a highly stressed society; roads are becoming more congested, people are working longer hours and time is at a premium - we are under pressure, there is no doubt about it.
Not only are people receiving abuse on the roads; idiots are chasing cars to people's houses to abuse them further, bicycle riders are being knocked over and even pedestrians are being run down. As a society, do we really need dickheads having punch-ups in the middle of the road? I think not.
It is now getting to the stage where guns are being pulled and shots fired - this is madness. Is it worth jail time for brain fades? Why do we have people on the roads with guns in the first place?
T
he justice system needs to get serious, more assault charges need to be laid with serious consequences for offenders with no more excuses.
Only then will we turn around this alarming trend around where people have no respect for other road users. Somebody cut you off, drove slow in the fast lane or failed to indicate - snap out of it.
