Road Rage

I drive around 15-20 miles every day to commute to work. It may be less than what most people drive but the drive still sucks. It is a 2 lane highway all the way with the people in the fast lane doing the same as the people in the slow lane.

Some nights I will latch on to someones rear bumper and almost "draft" them the whole way home. This is an excellent technique because one you are saving valuable gas mileage and two you are so close that you don't allow another idiot to cut in front of you and take away your momentum.

When doing this procedure you have to make sure you got the right kind of person in front of you. You almost want to test the waters and see if the car ahead will act like a teammate or a rival. A teammate to me is someone who wants the same thing as me... Get home the fastest way and safest way possible. Together the two of you act as a freight train moving slower traffic out of the way, and gaining anyone that is willing to join the convoy!

A rival would be the asshole that is doing 65 mph in a 65 mph zone in the fast lane, not wanting to move over for anyone. Right away I would get as close to his rear bumper as I could making them realize they need to get out of the way. But to make things even worse this guy will slam his breaks not realizing how close you are and try to scare you to back off... But you gotta stay strong and get right back on his rear bumper (possibly shouting at him/or her and making obscene hand gestures). If you play it right you should be able to move anyone out of your way with as little time wasted as possible.

Remember if everyone drove like me there wouldn't be a need for ROAD RAGE!
