No. I would call it rare. That could happen anywhere.

I'm not going to reject the idea that they deserved it. I've wanted to ram some people myself lately.

Rather than a "Road Rager," it looks more like a "drunk with violent criminal history."

Those critters tend to be way too common.

Reading past the headline . . .

"He is charged with DWI and remained in the Carrollton Jail on Friday.

Hurd has a criminal record that includes assault and firearms charges. "


So who let him out?

If you are, don't block the left lane of the interstate.

Dallas has some of the most aggressive drivers in the country.

Whenever we go on vacations, we're shocked at how courteous the drivers in other cities are.

Actually, caffeine does nothing for me. I'm simply a courteous driver who expects a little courtesy in return, definitely more than can be said for most of the posters in this thread.

Did I mention it's illegal to pass someone on the right in Texas unless they're turning left (which rarely happens on the interstate)? So not only are they doing something illegal, but they're forcing me to pass them illegally or follow behind them all the way until we go separate ways. But hey, keep defending them as though they're doing nothing wrong.

Pretty sure it's illegal to pass on the right everywhere on a highway, here nor there, idiots do it..But a little advice, quit keeping score. If you're courteous to someone do it out of the correct motivation, which is to keep yourself and potentially others safe without expecting anything in return. Your just setting yourself up to be let down everytime you get in your car
