Traffic, Road Rage and Its Possible Impacts

By Anthony M. Peck

Last year as we were returning from vacation we had hit heavy traffic on the highway. It was not a small highway. In fact, it was one of the main roads heading back into town and there was not another way around. Behind us there was a person who obviously thought we were taking our time and kept trying to pass us but had nowhere to go. We were stopping and going and then there would be a break free moment in the traffic and a minute later it would be gridlock again. Everyone I am sure has had one of these days in traffic.Every time the person behind us would hit their brakes it appeared in my rear view window harder and harder and they were getting closer and closer. Every now and then they would toot their horn as if I would move aside and they could drive free. It was obvious the more time passed the more anxious they would get. It made me wonder how many accidents this person had caused or had been in due to what I considered was road rage. Their auto insurance rates must be sky high. The accidents would make their auto insurance rates increase so you would think that would learn from that example.The traffic broke free again and off we all went and drove freely for about two miles. They still could not pass and when we had to brake again they came too close and ran into my bumper. As I started to get out of the car they jammed in reverse and were somehow attached to my bumper and had ripped it off. They got out of the car screaming at me as if it was my fault. I simply got back in the car, call the police and shut off my engine. It was at that point, the man was able to pass me on the curb and sped off. As he sped off, my bumper went flying into another car and we both waited for the police. I was glad I wrote down their license plate number.We both had turned in claims to their insurance company and knew their auto insurance rates were going to change and not for the better. How could you get that frustrated to cause two accidents in one day just to get out of traffic?Auto Insurance Quotes - QuoteScout helps you find the home insurance coverage you need at the lowest price.
