I propose we have a name and shame competition for the stretch of UK road that contains the highest density of over aggressive drivers; publish a "road-rage" heat-map if you like. I'd nominate the A329M between Reading and Bracknell, I have to drive it every day and it's terrifying! A maelstrom of ridiculously overpowered Jag's, Audi's and BMW's whose drivers are all desperately flexing their adrenaline fueled ego's in an attempt to intimidate other road users. This is usually achieved by repeatedly accelerating to 3 millimeters from the rear bumper of the car in front of them or swerving from lane to lane attempting to weave their way into some imaginary leading position. What on earth must some of these people (male and female) think they see when they look at themselves in their bathroom mirrors? We can only speculate. All of this stress and angst is for nowt of course, the roads in the UK are all so busy that progress is solely in the mind of the beholder, you might as well relax turn up the radio or enjoy the moment in quiet contemplation, you ain't going anywhere fast and let's face it getting to your off-ramp 30 seconds quicker isn't worth dying for..
