It blows my mind we treat road rage point blank as “less serious” than impaired driving. It should be equally or more strenuously punished, nobody has the right to be an asshole behind the wheel. Not one. Anger and violence are so predictable and addressable its madness.
Not that you were talking about driving but I’m just making the tangent with a major commonplace example of the way this plays out every time.
Like I’m not saying its intentional but its equally indefensible and unacceptable. We should be teaching people that anger is impairing and they MUST pull over and take a walk or do what they need to do. It needs to be absolutely liabillity or something where intent is irrelevant

Whoa buddy, you good to drive? XD
Nope 😎 Won’t happen again, Officer.
[Officer] Ya damn right it won’t cuz ur coming with me now! 🚔
Thankfully I only have a 2 mile commute through a small town so I don’t deal with road rage. I could never live in a city.
But yeah, it’s really just that people are strung out and road rage is just a symptom. Either way, it’s dangerous for the driver and others.
