By the time teen-agers get driver s licenses, many have seen their parents driving aggressively. Movies and automotive advertising also depict aggressive driving as a positive. Auto racing is the No. 1 spectator sport in the world. I see road rage as a symptom more than a disease. The disease is a decline in civility and morality.
Road rage is just a symptom.
Just like kids shooting up schools is a symptom. These things are learned. You aren t born to be an aggressive driver or a gun-toting student. You learn it. You learn it from the culture, from the adults in your life.
