Road rage

Road rage.
It happens to all of us, in more or less-severe forms.
Maybe we'll just get upset over the way another driver cuts us off and slams on the brakes to make a sudden turn.
Maybe we'll get stuck behind the guy or gal that feels like driving 4 under the limit is perfect, and ignores the growing line of angry drivers behind them, keeping the pace for what feels like endless miles.
That last scenario happened to me just this morning.
I get stuck behind a small SUV for the last 3 miles or so of my commute, growing line of cars behind me, small SUV in front traveling at what feels like a snail's pace.
What makes these people do this?
Is it the need to "police" the world and keep other drivers from speeding?
Is it simply that they're in no rush to get anywhere and they are absolutely oblivious to the line of cars they're holding back?
Whatever it is, it is one of the many driver behaviors that incite road rage in others.
I simply wish that there were more considerate people in the world.
If you see a line of cars behind you, or even one car, pull over for 2 seconds, let them go by, and all your lives will be better for it.
No road rage, no feeling of "I'm running late because of this idiot!", no wishing them bodily harm.
Just everybody going on with their own life, doing their own thing, living happily ever after.
What are your thoughts?

- Gabe.
