be thankful if you have one eye. It's so much worse if you have no eye at all.

The poll doesn't have enough choices, in my opinion. I'm one who will feel the urge to react to $hitty drivers, but I'm usually able to contain myself. It's tough to be passive in NJ! If I see a car coming up fast in my rear-view while on the highway, I'll just try to keep out of the way. Especially if I have a passenger with me, no sense in doing something stupid and endangering someone else's life as well. But if I'm in the left (passing) lane on the highway and there's a dolt in front of me who is deliberately not getting out of my way because they feel I'm driving too fast, I will sit uncomfortably close on their bumper. I don't get mad if they are stuck behind a slower driver holding them back however. But it's called the PASSING LANE for a reason, NJ drivers especially don't seem to get that. It's the job of the police to maintain and regulate drivers and driving laws, not civilians who don't approve of another driver's actions.

it seems like polls never have neough choices =P
I used to react to bad driving. By relaxing and just avoiding driving on the freeways during busy times my life is much better =P
I dread the day I have to commute on CA freeways everyday again ... but for now just relax and chill =P

Duncan: Don't know man. I know it isn't perfect, but sometimes, when I am sure that they have seen me in their rear view mirrors, I signal and hell, I just pass those assholes on the right and move on. Why risk your front bumper? (rock chips).
Cheers,
Daniel

Dan, Oh I pass on the right all the time, in fact I think in NJ (I don't know about other states) it is fully legal to pass on the right on a multi-lane highway. What I meant to say is that sometimes you get a jerk squatting in the left lane, going slower or at the same speed as people in the right lanes, making it impossible sometimes to pass on the right. THAT's when I sit on the bumper of the jerk in front of me, high-beam them, whatever. If you're in the passing lane and someone is behind you going faster, you are obligated to get out of the way, except it so rarely happens that way in NJ, land of the worst drivers. It usually seems to be the old farts who do the left-lane squatting, man I can't imagine how bad it must be on Florida highways!
