Fox News commented on a study (it's Fox, so take it with a grain of sale) that showed 4% of Northern VA / D.C. residents intentionally rammed another car out of anger.

Heres the link to the article

and the quote

"In Washington, D.C., four percent of drivers admitted to slamming into another driver," said Bush. "They stand out in that one particular category."

but what they don't say is how many people were polled in DC...I know I was not polled!

There's no such thing as good clean fun with a modern car. Cars do not have big steel bumpers like in 1950. Bumpers are basically disposable and are expensive to replace. There is an energy-absorbing structure inside the bumper that gets crushed when you hit something.

1982 W123 Mercedes 240D with a full steel bumper FTW!

If they surveyed only 50 people and two asshats wanted to screw with the survey, I think that is within the realm of possibilities. Makes for a great headline, though. And that's gold in the news business.

I think I know what the problem is...

There's a lot of folks in Fairfax who have pretty decent jobs, government/tech/contracting/IT and who work really hard... They have nice McMansions out there in the suburbs, and they sit in traffic on Rt. 50 and then 66 in order to get to work every morning. Same every evening when they come home, they sit in traffic, for an hour, hour and a half or so. Then they get home, to their McMansion, their kids, whom they hardly see due to the long working hours ignore them, their spouse, who also works, ignores them also as he or she pours over the bills from the credit card companies they owe, the bills from the finance companies that lent them the money to buy their SUV's and BMW's, they read about Heroin dealers at local high schools and wonder to themselves "How well do I really know my own son/daughter..." and then, one day on the road some assjack cuts them off and suddenly, as if from out of nowhere, it occurs to them... "I'm in bumper to bumper traffic, AGAIN, just like every day to get to a job I hate! All the money I earn pays off creditors, my house is worth 500K LESS than it was when I bought it and I still have to pay the damn mortgage, basically I've worked so hard for absolutely NOTHING (nothing of any real substance anyway) and this ASSHOLE has the nerve to cut ME off!? WHAT THE FUCK!?" and suddenly all that repressed anxiety and frustration comes to a head, and they slam the bastard, dead on.

I think that's at the root of it.

MLI you think your some kind of fucking gangsta? you sound like a pussy, taking three people to beat someone. fucking child

I doubt it. I think the people you describe are the ones who get offended if you drive faster thaen them, and even though they were driving 28 mph in a 45 zone, they speed up as soon as you try to pass them, and will then chase you at 70 or more to prove to you and the world that they really aren't worker-bee drone losers.

But then again, this area has a wide variety of neurotic driver behaviors. So maybe ramming people is just one more of the various manifestations of narcisistic neurotic behaviors. Like the people who want to fight you over a parking space, or who will chase you for 10 minutes because you honked at them when they almost sideswiped you when they tried to change lanes directly into you.

Results are rather useless given they only surveyed 2,518 people in 25 major metropolitan cities.

So, Jaybee, you weren't far off on that count of 50 people.

That's the truth.
