If this was the case, with most drivers being who they are, then we should never experience any traffic jams. I never understood how people you know who are intelligent, polite, and reasonable, get behind a steering wheel and suddenly become "savages"?

What in the world does your comment have to do with anything in this thread? If you are going to insult Americans, please follow basic principles:

1. Have the balls to declare what country or area you are from.
2. Provide some intelligible cause or topic that has to do with your allegation.
3. Be ready to take whatever comments come back from the responses.
4. Have your facts straight.

If America and Americans are so bad, why is the whole damned world trying to move in? If you are an American, realize that this is one of the few places on earth where your miserable ignorant rants won't get you in trouble.
