Have you ever been involved in a war of words with others while on road? Or have you been witness to a traffic standstill because two parties ahead of you are just not agreeing or willing to give up on their causes. Atleast one of your answer could be a yes. Road rage is not uncommon on roads on metros these days. There are various factors and reasons that lead to a tiff. It could be a genuine mistake by one of the parties involved. But as is with most of us, we seldom accept our mistakes and refuse to admit it and leave alone take a abuse lying down.
Road rage could kill. Have a look at this article http://www.ibnlive.com/news/pregnant-woman-husband-thrashed-by-bus-drivers/63019-3.html?xml on IBN-Live. Nobody can ascertain whose fault it was. But one thing is certain, the consequences could have been fatal. Imagine a serious injury to the lady, or worst a unforced abortion. And all these can be avoided.
Our natural instinct in everything that goes wrong, is to find someone to blame for the same! Hence the moment we see something wrong, our senses immediately react and start pointing fingers. This explains our sudden anger on others. Even you and I have been in similar situations hurling a abuse or two on different accounts. A bad at work or home is mostly the source of our anger, and we look for excuses to vent it out on others. This idea of teaching others a lesson could lead to catastrophic results as we have been hearing in the news now and then.
Hence in my humble opinion, its best to exercise self restraint and avoid getting into arguments. Its easier to get provoked and your reaction could provoke further reactions and you never know how the chain reaction could be.
Trust me there is no pride lost or egos hurt than witnessing a loss of life.
