Did all the Jetta drivers in the world trade in for BMWs?

My speechlessness was deafening...

Really, though, it seems that Audi drivers are the worst around here.

Speaking of which, here's where I spent my evening. I didn't get the Veyron or McLaren in this shot though. Mostly (ridiculously nice) Audis. They make my 1-series look about as stylish as a hairy wart.

The same study that found teenage girls were the least likely to experience anger on the roads. Hmm...

But the drivers that they hit while texting are quite likely to experience anger and frustration.

"What's the difference between a porcupine and a BMW....?"
"In a BMW, the pricks are on the inside."

I haven't had a beemer in decades!

Anger management technique?

NO. The benzes seem more rugged and easier to work on....not as agile though.

I curtailed my angry shouting at offending other drivers after I one day shouted at the top of my lungs at a driver calling them a ****** stupid (ethinic slur) and then realizing my three and four year old children were in the back seat. (Thirty years ago).

I have curtailed my poddy mouth down to where I nearly only curse commonly in front of the lovely Mrs. W. (She curses like a sailor around me too at times). But mostly I am not nearly as angry as I was when I was trying to make my mark in life.

I bet no one tests for the most frequent types who block the left lane. That would tell a very different story.

IMO Toyota and Lexus drivers are the worst. They are passive-aggressive, often in the extreme. A lot of morons who own these vehicles will “camp” in the left lane of any multi-lane hiway and refuse to exceed the speed limit, and in many cases drive under the speed limit. They will commonly not only “camp” in the left lane but will drive parallel to another vehicle in the next lane, and thereby block traffic by making it impossible to get around them.

I don’t know why this type of person is attracted to these 2 particular monikers. They are probably both conservative and have control issues; it is common to have to endure their tendency to block the left lane.
