Subject: good work class!
First day went well, even if some things didn't turn out as expected and I
had to correct several mistakes I still had in the files. I think you're
all very brave and thanks for sticking with the program. You won't be
sorry.
Now, to start the discussion going, here is a question you can express
your opinion on:
Think of your own driving (or cycling, or walking in crowds). Name two or
three things that annoy you that other drivers do. Then, tell the truth:
do you those things at times?
Take care and drive with Aloha!

Subject: Re: good work class!
When I'm driving it bothers me when people:
1. Fail to thank other drivers who allow them to merge into
traffic.
2. Fail to signal when turning.
3. Drive side by side with another slow moving car just because
they know you want to pass them.
When I am on the road I always thank other drivers and more times than
none, I signal when turning. It is extremely frustrating when others fail
to do these things, so I always try to do so. As for the third item on my
list, I have to admit that I do at times drive slow next to another slow
moving vehicle especially when the driver is being obnoxious.

Subject: Re: good work class!
Hi everyone. Well, one thing that annoys me is how drivers honk at people
or friends they see either driving or walking. So a driver will honk
behind me and startle me and I think I've done something wrong or they
think I am driving too slow. When I look in my rear view mirror, I see
them waving to someone on the sidewalk or waving at someone passing by.
Honking really startles me and it annoys me. The second thing I can think
of is when there is a very long line of traffic and noone will let me into
the lane. It's not like traffic is really going anywhere and one more car
won't slow that person down any more. The third thing that annoys me is
when people follow too closely behind you (usually called talegating).
This is a hot topic these days in traffic psychology and Dr. James and
other students have written reports on tailgating.
Well, honestly I can say that I do honk when I can't get someone's
attention (like a friend next to me or something). I automatically look in
front of me and see the car in front of me looking back in the rear view
mirror, probably thinking I'm honking at them. I usually feel pretty bad.
For the other two things, I really don't do.

Hi! Everyone. It's now 1:00a.m. It's so late because I had a computer
problem.
Things that make me angry when I am on the road is:
When people express anger towards a nice driver like me...I feel "Can't
you control your emotions?"
When people get too close to me...I feel "I am following the law here!"
When people accelerate and pass by my moped ..."I have right to ride my
moped"
I hope everybody will smile and drive and have pleasant road manner
someday.

Hi everyone,
I think that I am a very mellow driving. By mellow I don't mean slow,
but relaxed. It really annoys me when I am a passenger and the driver
yells at other drivers or drives very aggressively due to irritation.
It just seems like a big waste of energy. I admit I do talk to myself
meaning it for the other drivers, but I don't get angry or yell.

I just read all of the e-mail that was sent and agree with you all. I
hate it when people don't wave to say thank you. I lived in Vegas for 3
months and me and my two other friends
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From here would always wave while
nobody else would. I remember these girls in our car laughing at us and
asking what we were doing waving. Is this Aloha spirit?

Subject: Re: Email Discussion
Things that annoy me about other drivers:
1. When drivers change lanes at the last minute without signaling. That
annoys me because it causes you and everyone behind you to break and
untimaltely it could lead to an accident.
2. Another thing that annoys me is when people who drive slow always seem
to find their way into the fast lane. If they're going to drive slow they
need to get into the right lane. I know if I'm driving too slow I get out
of the way of the car behind me.
3. It also annoys me when people have long conversations on their cell
phones when they're driving. They should be concentrating on the road
talking on the phone and driving are two things that just don't mix.

Hi everyone! This email is in response to Dr. James question regarding
driving. One of the most things that irritate me is when drivers wait to
the last minute to cut in. They drive to the front of the line of traffic
and cut in before everyone else. I also don't like taxi drivers, they
will push their way in anywhere. Well, talk to you guys later.

one thing i hate when others are driving is when people don't use their
blinkers. they just move over and cut you off. or if i'm waiting to pull
out of an intersection and someone is coming and then they turn before me.
if they would have used their blinker i could have turned before them.
then there are those people who leave their blinker on all day long, and
never turn. also i hate when you let someone in or they cut you off but
they never wave. all i want is a little wave.
talk to you later.

The things that bother me the most when I am driving is slow drivers,
especially ones that should be driving in the far right lane, or the ones
that evidently feel the need to speed up when you want to enter their
lane. I also do not like drivers that cut into lanes at the last minute.
This is the most noticeable, and annoying, by freeway onramps.

Hello everyone:
The 3 things that irritate me the most are:
1. People not saying "thank you" or just a wave.
2. Other drivers cutting in front of me.
3. Drivers that don't pay attention to the road, like those who
put on makeup while driving, or trying to find for something in
the glove compartment, talking on their cellular.
I always say thank you and never cut in front of anyone because that'll
put myself and others in danger. Once in a while, I'll do #3, but I
usually stop somewhere if it requires me to get my eyes off the road.

Hi 409,
Just like everyone else, two things that annoy me are the drivers
who cut lane without making signal and who don't have aloha spirit.
Although I don't these two things, I'm not a good driver. I always
have a bad habit -- eating while driving. I enjoy it very much. How
about you?

Hello everyone. Sorry it took me a while to respond back to you. I
had to finish up my exercises before I get points deducted for turning
it in late. Anyways, I'm glad you added me to your address book even if
it's required. Well, first of all, the one thing that irritates me when
driving is traffic. What annoys about other drivers is the fact they
don't appreciate your kindness. You let them cut in front of you and they
don't even give thanks. People here are acting like people in the
mainland. C'mon...it's the aloha state...give a shaka or a wave!
Another thing I hate is when they drive right into your lane and not give
any signal. I can't stand that, especially since I got into an accident
that way. Just some advice, use your signals because someone could get
hurt and join me. Alrighty, drive safe!
:) Smile!

I hope you don't think I am shifting the blame, but I do think that

Subject: Re: road rage
I totally agree with what Lori is saying. I feel that one's driving
behavior is not determined solely on one's experience as a child, it also
has to do with the environment one is at and also the personality trait of
that person. There are many factors I feel that contribute to "road rage"
such as traffic jams, previous experiences one had like a car accident,
physiological factor such as medication, and so little time (people
rushing to get into work on time). Good point Lori!

Subject: emotional intelligence
Hi cyber-Class G9!
I read all your answers with interest--everyone seems to have pet peeves
about other drivers, that is, things they do that annoy us and make our
life behind the wheel a miserable one, or at least, an unpleasant and
stressful one.
Now I'd like your reactions to my idea as DrDriving that each of us have a
driving conscience (our own DrDriving so to speak) who tells us what's the
best way to drive and deal with other drivers. DrDriving defines
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AS A DRIVER as the ability to think of alternative
reasons that another driver does something.
For instance, a driver is very close behind you and you're worried about
it. A normal thing to to say is that stupid driver is tailgating me or
wants me to go faster or is not happy about how I drive, etc. These
negative thoughts are unpleasant and increase your driving stress. So now
you can train yourself to say other things that are more pleasant or are
less annoying: The driver is distracted and is not aware how closely they
are following me. Or if someone comes into your lane suddenly, instead of
thinking The Idiot has Cut Me Off, (which is annoying and upsetting), you
can say, That driver is distracted or That driver must be in a great hurry
or That Driver might need More Training , etc (which is less annoying).
So now your MISSION IMPOSSIBLE in this discussion is to think back on your
pet peeves (the things that annoy you other drivers do) and give us an
analysis (pick your two major pet peeves):
a)what "false" assumptions are you making when you feel annoyed
b)what alternative assumptions can you think of for that kind of behavior
Looking forward to all your replies!!
DrDriving (Dr. James)

Hello Everyone:
Well, the 2 major pet peeves that I have is the driver not saying thank
you after I graciously let them in my lane and the driver just cutting me
off.
My false assumptions for these two pet peeves would be that the driver are
a BIG IDIOT, rude, he/she didn't learn to say "thank you" as a child, and
the driver doesn't know how to use his/her mirrors while changing lanes.
My alternative assumptions are that that driver was having a bad day and
they couldn't see me when they cut me off. This happens a lot to me - I
accidentally cut someone off because I couldn't see him/her.

Hello everyone,
Things that annoy me at drivers:
1) When I am driving and some other car is coming up behind me like there is
no tomorrow and then suddenly change lanes. They scare me, it makes me think
they are going to hit.
2) I also get upset when people cut me off, I mean if they would put their
signal light or signal me somehow, I will let them into the lane, but half the
times these people don't do it.
3) I also get upset when someone is making a turn and they make a complete
stop to turn. There is no stop sign there, but they stop to turn to the
right. that is just not right.
Well, I guess that is it for now. See you later.

Well, one someone honks at someone else and it startles me and I feel
annoyed, a false assumption I've made is that they don't care that it
startles other drivers or are not aware that they are startling other
drivers. Alternatively,
they may honk and feel bad about it after, kinda like me. Or that may be
the only way to get someone's attention, by honking, and they don't have
much choice.Also, the person may just be used to the sound of honking so
it may not bother him, so he figures it doesn't bother anyone else. The
other thing that annoyed me was when people don't let
you into the lane you want to merge into, especially when there is alot of
traffic. I automatically think that that person is being selfish and
unkind. It could be that they were so focused straight ahead that they did
not see me, or they think I may slow them down. And they may be in a
hurry. The other issue was tailgating. I sometimes feel like I am driving
too slow when someone tailgates me and I begin to speed up. However, this
is really not the right thing to do. Usually the person follows behind me
closely and then swerves very fast around me and takes off. I think, gosh,
what's the rush, and don't they know that that is dangerous? It does annoy
me. Alternatively, I could think, that person does not know that it is
dangerous, and may think that all that steel around him makes him
invincible. Definitely needs more training.

Hi! Everyone! I really understand how you are feeling right now. But
since summer session is short, let's enjoy working hard:)
One of my pet peeves is that the driver looks at me looking annoyed or
gives me hand gestures, such as "What are you or what are you doing?"
gesture.
a) My false assumption is that the driver thinks I am a stupid driver who
doesn't know how to drive.
b) My alternative assumption is that the driver knows me and taking a
good look of me. Or, the driver is just talking to him or herself or
person next to the driver and giving big gestures moving his/her hands.

Subject: Re: Emotional Intelligence
My first pet peeve was that I hate when people cut me off at the last
minute and do not use their blinkers. When people cut me off I get really
upset and I start thinking the person is an idiot and I don't know how
they were ever allowed to get a license. I assume that these people are
always bad drivers and that they have no consideration for others. I
assume these people are selfish and think they own the road.
Some alternatives to why someone would cut me off could be because they
were in a rush or they were just having a really bad day and weren't aware
of how unsafe they were driving.
My second pet peeve was people driving slow while they are in the fast
lane. I just assume that if people in front of me know that they are
driving slow they purposely stay in the lane just to tick me off.
An alternative assumption could be that these drivers are truly unaware
that they are driving so slow. There's also a remote possiblity that
something is wrong with the person's car and their cars really can't go
all that fast.

Hi everyone! My reply to this first discussion topic is a little late, but
here it is. The three main things that make me angry about other drivers
are: drivers who do not use their signals when changing lanes, really slow
moving drivers in the fast lane and drivers who think that if they keep
racing you to cut in front of you, you'll back off eventually. Not only do
these things make me angry, but they also produce hazardous driving
conditions for everyone. I do not do any of these things and the people I
ride with also do not drive this way.

Time is certainly of the essence, in all our lives. Since driving is the
most used vehicle of transportation, and we want to reach our destination
as fast as possible, being in our car is somewhat like time wasted. Many
times when I'm sitting in traffic, I think to myself, look how much time
I'm wasting, I could be doing so many other things right now instead of
sitting here. This attitued and thoughts like this, I feel lead us into

There isn't any one pet peeve that I dislike more than another. Bad
driving irritates me no matter what it may be. I just think that if

Anyhow, when people do drive irrisponsiibly I tend to think their just
doing it because they're lazy or just because they want to be butt heads.
Of course that is just an assumption. It could be that they had alot on

Hi everyone. Well, my two major pet peeves about other drivers are drivers
that do not signal when changing lanes or making a turn and drivers that
go slow in the fast lane. Some false assumptions I could be making are
that the drivers are purposely trying to cut fellow drivers off, they are
trying to cause an accident and they are being careless drivers. Some
alternative assumptions I can think of for people failing to use their
signals are that they did not realize a car was in the lane they were
switching to or did not see someone behind them before they made a turn.
Alternative assumptions for slow people in the fast lane are maybe they
really are not going that slow and they may not be paying attention to
their speed. Overall, drivers could just be having a bad day.

The two pet peeves Dr. James mentioned about honking the horn and

I know I've done something wrong so I just wave "sorry". At times
though honking is a good thing. People honk their horns to say
Thanks instead of waving. When I am being tailgated, I either speed up or
move to the side before an accident occurs. S/he might have me as a
target, but I won't lether/ him take it on me.
a)what "false" assumptions are you making when you feel annoyed
The false assumptions I make is at first "you !@#$%^&*". But then I calm

Subject: Re: emotional intelligence
As I said before, one of my pet peeves are slow drivers in the left
lane. As a driver myself, if I feel like taking my time, I go into the
right lane. I do this because I know that others may not have the time to
drive as leisurely as me. It is fairly obvious when everyone is going
around you. However when I get annoyed I sometimes make the false
assumption that they are doing it on purpose. In actuality the other
driver may not realize how slow they are driving, or may not have noticed
the long line of cars behind them. It is also likely that their car may
be old or damaged and cannot drive safely at high speeds.
I also get irritated by people that change lanes at the last minute,
especially by the freeway onramps. It is just as bad as cutting in line
at a ticket office booth. My assumption is that they are being rude and
selfish because they cut people off so they can go first. Then they
expect people in the front to let them in just because they turn on their
signal. However I think that there are times when people forget that the
onramp or cut off is there, and they do have to cut in at the last moment.
Furthermore there may also be a chance that no one in the back let them
into the lane. Other times it could be someone that is not familiar with
the area.
Keeping emotional intelligence in mind while driving is a good idea.
It will not only eliminate some of the stress, but a lot of the road rage
too.

Subject: Re: emotional intelligence
this is in response to the idea of emotional intelligence. my two major
pet peeves were probably when someone cuts me off or i let them in and
they don't wave. and my other one is when people turn or change lanes
without using their blinkers.
There are a number of reasons someone would
do these. someone could not realize that i let them in or that they cut
me off, so that is why they didn't wave, or they just didn't think about
it.
Also as for the blinker use maybe they didn't know they were going to turn
there or they just didn't pay attention. While this makes it easier or
not i don't know. but i still think people shouldn't be driving if they
aren't going to pay attention.

Subject: Re: road rage
Road rage is very dangerous and we experience it everyday. I
think it matters where one lives. When I went to New York, it was an
experience. It really is like it is in movies...taxis honking their
horns, people swearing, and getting upset. I wouldn't want to live there.
I guess because it's very fast paced living. Another factor that
contributes to the way in which a person drives is the music that they
listen to. Personally, I like to drive fast when I'm listening to rap or
fast music. On the other hand, when I listen to Hawaiian music and
oldies, I tend to take my time. Well, anyway that's my point of view.
Talk to everyone later!!!

Subject: Re: road rage
i am writing after reading Lori's message. i agree i don't know if the
socialization occurs as small children. i think that children listen to it
but they don't have to learn the behavior. my dad would always yell and
get mad and i can remember that but i don't think i ever have. i don't
usually get mad when i am driving. if i am mad before i start driving i
might be a little more aggressive but i usually calm down.
i do drive fast but that is the extent of my aggressive driving.
when i first started driving i might have tailgated a little but i stopped
that.
I agree i think our emphasis on time is part of the problem. i
know here in Hawaii there is less emphasis on time and people do drive
slower and are more relaxed. in california there is a real sense of rush,
everyone is trying to get somewhere.

Subject: Re: road rage
Hi Lori and everyone,
I agree with you when you said that socialization and personality play
major roles on driving. When I was driving in Japan, I rarely reacted
aggressively to other drivers. However, after I drove in Hawaii for about
3 years, I started to be very expressive with my anger. Although I hated
how my ex-boyfriend drove, I was unconsiously copying it. But then, when
I saw other drivers acting very childish, I realized that I was doing
same thing. And then, my personality played the role. I didn't want to
be those drivers who were very hostile to others. So, I drive nicely now
and sometimes use alternative assumptions in my real life. In this way, I
think I am avoiding troubles whereas my ex-boyfriend always got in
trouble because of the expression of his anger.
In terms of speed, when I went to L.A. I had no choice than speeding like
others. So, I think a place and culture a driver belongs really matters
on this issue...and ofcourse personality of the driver, too.

Subject: Re: emotional intelligence
Hello Again everyone,
Well in response to Dr. Driving's questions:
a) What false assumptions do I make when I feel annoyed?
I assume that because these drivers cut me off of do something to annoy me
they are doing it on purpose. I have to say that there are times that I truly
believe that people do it on purpose. And I know this because I know some
people that tailgate and do other annoying things on purpose.
I also assume that they are all idiots and I know that some people do
mistakes, but come on they need to get with it. If a person is tired or has
had a hard day, they should try not to get on the road.
b) What alternative assumptions can I think of for that behavior?
Well they might be tired, like I just said. Or something else might be on
their mind (distracted). Something bad might just have happened to them. We
are all humans and because of such, I can be alittle flexible, but people need
to be careful (me included) and not put other people's lives in jeopardly.
The road is a dangerous place.

I assume when people are driving slow that they are terrible, incapable
drivers. But it could be that they are tired so are trying to drive
slow in order to be careful, or maybe their car is a piece of junk and
can't go faster.
I also assume that when someone doesn't wave it is because they are rude
and inconsiderate. But I could look at it another way. They could be
trying to watch the traffic to avoid an accident or maybe they smiled at
me before they went in front of me because sometimes I do that too and
then should understand.

Subject: Re: road rage
Hi. I agree with what Lori and everyone else had to say about this
topic. Socialization, personality, culture and time all appear to play a
role in road rage. This reminds me of what one professor taught, that
there is a multiplicity of influences. In other words, a behavior is
caused or affected by many factors, not just one factor.
Time seems to be an important factor in road rage. I often see
drivers zipping in and out of lanes to maintain their high speed. If they
get behind someone slow, they start tailgating very closely. I
think that person must be extremely late for something. But at the same
time, I wonder if there is somewhere they need to be or is this
their normal driving behavior. Whenever I see someone driving like this it
makes me angry. Obviously, that driver is not thinking about
how easily he could cause a serious accident. Hopefully these drivers will
start to realize how dangerous their driving behavior is.

Hi guys,
I am writing in response to that new 1 900 number. I am very doubtful
of its level of success. First of all when I am driving I get angry at
some drivers, but it is very rare if ever at all have I gotten angry
enough to spend $1.95 on them. Am I just too cheap?
Another reason why I feel it will fail is because there is a certain
type of person to call this type of thing, spend their hard earned
money, and take time out of their busy lives to call and complain. Also
for comeone to call, the other driver must have done something pretty
extreme. These reason I feel will skew the data.

Hi, everyone!
My reaction to this new service was not so optimistic. When I see bad
drivers, I feel like calling police to let them know that they are not
driving properly. I feel like doing that because their driving may cause
accident and harm innocent people. So, I thought this service was good in
the beginning. However, we need to question if those people who call in
are good judges. Some people may also misuse this service for their
personal revenge. Am I being too negative? I have this belief that we
shouldn't judge something before trying. We can see how it goes...right?

Subject: Re: good or bad idea?
It sounded like a good idea until I thought about it further.
First of all, we already pay for our law inforcment to handle those
problems (whether they do or not is a different topic all together), so
why whould we want to pay another 1.95 every time we see some form of
terrible driving.
Another thing that I thought about is this: Say your driving and
someone cuts you off and you swerve and nearly miss the car in the next
lane. Now your upset and decide to call this service. All the way home
you think about this driver and how he/she pissed you off and how your
going to call this service. Wouldn't that be considered a form of road
rage? Planning to call the service would cause you to continually think
about the problem until you make the call.
That's just my thoughts. Bye!

Hello everyone:
Well, I visited that site http://www.900totrack.com/. I thought their idea
was good at first, but when I read that there was fee involved, it wasn't
too good. I like that the people who created this site thought of how to
track bad drivers. I think that it's much more easier to call the police
and it's free too! There should be a good system to track bad and reckless
drivers. I recommend you all to click onto the link entitled "Road Games".
It gives you information on what slows down traffic and also some advice
on how not to create heavy traffic.
Thanks,

I think this service is a good idea. Although personally I wouldn't pay a
$1.95 a call just to report someone, I'm sure there are people who
would and if they're willing to pay for it, why not? I think some people
would find the information provided by this service very worthwhile. It
makes me feel better knowing that a person who violates the law when
driving will be notified or made aware of their actions.

Hello y'all!
I agree with Irene in which the service does have its positives and
negatives. The fee should be free but when you think of it, it's
actually worth it. It's not like you're gonna call them every day to
report a reckless driver. It's to benefit you. That driver could be a
threat to you so it's better to put a record of that liscense plate so
he/she can check him/herself and realize there are other drivers out
there! This can definitely make people more cautious on how they
drive and be aware of fellow drivers.

Subject: Re: emotional intelligence
Hi everybody! I'm finally going through all my messages now, so I
apologize if this reply is a little late. As for the question Dr James has
asked regarding two of my pet peeves in driving, I think is about the same
as every other driver. One of the most annoying for me is when people
don't use their turn signal. I normally don't yell, just say to myself "I
guess turn signals was an optional feature on that car". I'ts also
annoying when people are going to turn they brake first and then use
their turn signal (if they do at all). I find this highly annoying
because I don't know why their all of a sudden slowing down. I think as a
common courtesy we should turn on our turn signal a few seconds before we
brake so that the car behind us knows that we're going to slow down. My
usual response to other "bad" drivers was to yell, but
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From about a year
ago I've learned to be more patient. You never know why that driver just
did what they did. Maybe they just lack intelligence, maybe they really
need to get to restroom, maybe they just received a phone call that their
family member was just shot. You never know what the reason is and I feel
that you should always give them the benefit of the doubt. I know I do
some reckless driving when I'm in an emergency situation (like my friend
is in the car and in labor).

I kind of like this service. Although we do have paid law enforcement to
do this, they can't always be everywhere at once to keep track of all
these things. Even if they are in the area, most people don't commit
crimes in front of an officer.
The downfall to a program like this is that, as some of you have said,
people may use the servise to get revenge. I can think of a few people I
know who may be willing to spend a couple of dollars to get someone else
in trouble, even as a prank.
As for the fee, they're going to use it in order to run the service, we
can;t expect everything in the world free,

Subject: our textbook
Hi G9! Here is something we need to discuss this week, as you're reading
Chapter 1 of the Rothe book (you are reading aren't you? If not now,
when? -- Remember don't wait until the chapters are being presented in
class, because then you won't have time to read all the chapters that
fast. Ergo: you end up not reading the chapters....Cheating yourself.
Don't let it happen. OK? Promise?
So, please read pages 1 to 9 and answer this:
What is Rothe talking about, as far as you can understand? For example, I
would say he's giving us a new defintion of the topic of traffic safety.
The traditional outlook, the one we all now have, is that driving problems
(crashes, DUI, road rage) are the result of drivers mis-behaving and
deliberately flaunting the law and the rules of civility, and this is done
to different extent by various groups in our society: so the young have
more crashes, for example, so being young=more crashes. The way to deal
with these problems is to punish or threaten people so they stop
mis-behaving.
Rothe on the other hand says this is oversimplified. He proposes some
other approach and orientation. You tell us what it is, as you can
understand it. Thanks.

Subject: Re: good or bad idea
Hi everyone. I agree with what many of you said: there are advantages and
disadvantages to this tracking service. Overall, I'm not too supportive of
it. For one thing, people can report bad drivers to the police and they do
not have to pay to do so. Also, like some of you already said, people can
abuse this program and report license plates just for revenge. The
reporting of license plates for revenge would skew the results and
information. Plus, the reported drivers cannot really respond to the
accusations. This is especially important if the person was falsely
reported as being a bad driver. So, maybe the service could also allow
drivers to respond if they see their license plate at the site. This could
give people a more complete idea of what happened. Also, this could clear
up any false reports.

Subject: Re: emotional intelligence
One of my pet peeves is when a driver cuts me off suddenly. It can be
kind of scary when it happens. It also makes me feel angry towards the
driver who cut me off because of the "what its" especially when my
daughter is in the back seat of my car. I usually say or think 'What an
idiot' etc. My daughter is always there to remind me if I say a bad word.
Idiot is considered a bad word to her. What I can do is that I can get my
feelings under control and just think that that driver was in a hurry or
there's an emergency for that driver to be driving like that.
My second pet peeve is that when a driver drives so slow, way below the
speed limit. I get frustrated and irritated at this kind of driver. I
know that I can change lane when appropriate or I can listen to pleasant
and relaxing music. I could also use this time to talk and listen to my
daughter if she is in the car with me.

I think the idea of being able to report other individuals license
plates would actually be a good way of collecting data. Anonymous
reporting is important. I don't really know how accurate the ratings will
be. People may report other people's plates if they just don't like them.
Also many individuals wouldn't want to pay the cost to call in someone's
plates.

Subject: Re: good or bad idea?
I think that it is a bad idea. The data is collected strictly from
people's opinions and is therefore not very reliable, especially when
there is so much road rage out there. It would not be a valid way of
finding out whether or not a person is a bad driver because many of the
people that call in are making their judgements based on their feelings
and emotions at that moment, not
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From an unbiased standpoint. Furthermore
the data could be very damaging to people's records, especially if they
are good, safe drivers.
We should leave these type of judgements to law enforcers, who don't
have a hidden agenda- at least for now. Maybe the energy put into these
types of programs would be better spent in teaching anger control on the
road, by providing alternative options than driving your own car (i.e.
mass transit), or for further studies in traffic psychology. I do think
that people's lives would be much healthier without the stress involved in
driving.

I believe that Rothe's alternative approach is to incorpoate many
different aspects of driving into the equation. For example, he states,
"...fundamental things such as trust, responsibility, risk, licensing,
policing, speed, impaired driving, and traffic-related technology are
arranged in different wasys by diffferent groups." We are all
individuals with different views and habits of driving. Siblings
growing up with the same parental influence can drive and view driving
"misconduct" very differently. Fifteen year old who just get their
license treat driving differently as well. For example, one may be
timid, cautious while the next thinks they know it all with that little
piece of paper.

Subject: emotional intelligence
My 2 major pet peeves with other drivers are 1) when people are in the
wrong lane to go straight, left, or right and then try to force their way
in. Usually I let them in, but I feel a bit annoyed that I had to wait in
a long line and they just cut to the front. Another one would be when
people stay in the lane right next to the on ramp instead of trying to
move over to give people room to enter without slowing down first.
I guess I get annoyed because I think of these things as things people
should't do out of common courtesy. I guess I blame other people for the
way I feel, but in actuality, I am the one who controls how I feel.
Some alternatives to getting annoyed could be to let the incident go by
telling yourself its over, and thinking about something more positive.
Also, you could try some relaxation exercises such as breathing deeply, or
counting to ten slowly just to calm yourself down. I guess the idea would
be to not let the incident ruin your day, and to take the anger factor out
of your driving.

In reply to the good or bad idea, I think that it's a good idea to have
this for worried parents of teenage drivers. I can understand their
worries too because I have a 9 year old daughter. I think that funding
this should not be too much of a problem especially when it provides such
valuable information for all people.

HEY GUYS,
Personally, I have to say that I don't see the use for it and I don't see
people using it. I don't see people using it too often because there is a
charge to put a license plate on there. I also see that maybe sometimes
people might put their enemies license plates on there just to spite them. It
may happen, you never know. Some people have nothing better to do, so they
might. I also think that if your car is placed on this list it might bring
you bad news in the sense that if police agencies do use this system, you may
be penalized for something another driver did in your car, say your sister,
brother, etc.
If police agencies do start using such a system, they don't know who was
drving, so that list is therefore not relevant. Well, this is strictly my
opinion. See you in class.

Subject: good or bad idea?
I think reporting a problem is a good idea depending upon the person's
intentions. If the person is reporting a problem because he or she is
concerned for the safety of others and himself/herself as well, then it is
a good idea. However, if that person reports someone else for the mere
purpose of getting that person back, then I think the idea of road rage is
just being reinforced. This is just another way of getting back at that
person in a more lawful way. The anger and stuff is still there, and I
think the anger response is what needs to be dealt with instead of what to
do about it afterwards.

Subject: Re: our textbook
Chapter one deals with traffic safety as a social process. Since
the biggest group that is involved in car crashes are young people, maybe
a different approach has to be taken. It's not so much that these young
people are risk takers, but it may have to do with social factors. Many
times, maturity, interests, values and experience have to do with traffic
safety. If greater education on safe driving, and various activities for
the youth to engage in near their homes is offered, a decrease in car
crashes may be a result of it.
In all, "traffic safety is a social process, created, formed, and
changed in and through the activities of people"(Rothe, 7). Personally, I
believe that driving habits are a social issue. We learn
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From others,
especially our parents. Values and morals are a big part of it. If
parents instill proper values in their children, maybe traffic safety
wouldn't be so much of a problem.

Subject: Re: our textbook
How I understand what Mr. Rothe's alternative approach is that traffic
safety starts with the person itself. Traffic safety is learned through
watching other people drive and modeling what is learned. For instance,
as a child sitting in the back seat of my father's car on the way home
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From work, I remember hearing him swear at a driver(s). My father thought
that me and my brothers were asleep in the backseat. He would get angry
for whatever a driver would have done to him. Day after day I would
listen to this. I think it is now my bad habit to swear when a driver
cuts me off or something of that nature. It is me modeling what my father
did and may still do. I think Mr. Rothe is suggesting that we as drivers
need to understand that we all need to change our attitudes and guide our
actions. We need to analyze the situation differently. It could be
because of a cultural perspective or something else. We need to search
for a better understanding of our social boundaries.

on that person's experiences, circumstances, and how they interpret the

It seems that Roth is saying that it really isn't the fault of the
teens or young people. There are so many different kinds of stimuli that
encourage people to live on the edge, and that there is only one life to
live and to live it to the fullest. I think young people take this very
seriously and apply it to driving. As Roth says there are many
commercials which portrays fast driving as cool and living life to the
fullest.
Maybe what he's saying is that we have to change the way society
portrays these kinds of dangerous ways of living.

Hi! everyone. How are you? The main idea of Rothe in chapter 1 is that
problems of or definition of "Traffic Safety" is oversimplified. We need
to look at the problems "at different levels." For example, we
overrepresent young driver's accident and traffic violation. However, we
don't know each driver's cultural aspect that caused him/her drive in
certain way. Rothe recommends readers to go deeper and change drivers'
cutural aspects rather than punishing them for traffic violation. I think
he has a good point. We need to understand people's cultral background
and identify problems so that we can work to bring about social changes.
It's almost like community psychology, isn't it? Our focus is to prevent
and intervene with social problems. Have a good day!

Subject: Re: our textbook
Basically I think Rothe is saying that the issue or idea of traffic
safety has been over simplified. For instance, he notes that the very
definition of traffic safety can vary depending on what perspective you
take. Rothe thinks that traffic safety should be viewed as a social
process. So, it is continually being altered and created through people's
actions.
Rothe's view of traffic safety goes against the traditional view on
this issue. The traditional view on traffic safety is that people who do
not follow the traffic rules create risks for others. So, steps should be
taken to stop bad drivers
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From endangering others. For instance, police
officers can use breathalyzers on drivers. According to this view, steps
like these would make people better and safer drivers. However, Rothe
thinks that factors such as culture affect driving habits. So, these
factors would have to be changed in order for driving behavior to change.

their license plate numbers to report them, but I don't do it all the time.
Sometimes I forget where I wrote the number and how do I know that something

I believe that even if our parents were not particularly violent drivers,
chances are we have come across people who are, and have developed some
bad habits. I think people feel safe in their cars to some degree, and
therefore use their car as a sort of shield which allows them to say
things or do things they wouldn't normally do outside their car. Looking
at the survey results I found it interesting that men and women did sort
of behave in stereotyped ways as far as men being more aggressive, and
women being more emotional. This shows that this phenomenon is in fact a
culturally produced one.

Subject: Re: our textbook
To my understanding, Rothe is saying that society's attitude towards high
risk behavior is a contributing factor as to why so many young drivers get
into many car crashes. The media plays a major role in this. For example,
there are many commercials [as Rothe mentions] that imply that "Life is
short" so one must take risks such as bungee jumping. I took an interest
in this certain chapter because one day I would like to work with
adolescents, and understanding why so many teens take on risky behaviors,
such as driving recklessly is very important. Rothe offers alternative
approaches such as integrating driver safety education into our school's
curriculum, invent programs such as midnight basketball that will prevent
teens in engaging high risk behavior such as drinking and driving. Good
chapter :).

relatives, etc). We are influenced by several different forces out there.
Traffic safety is an important aspect and all drivers should know about this,
but how to get the word out is difficult, because like rothe says, everybody
has a different perception on what traffic safety means and what should be
done about it.
I believe that Rothe is correct in saying that it is up to the individual to
take responsibiltiy. Our environment and the society we are in also
influences the actions of drivers. If we think we are being watched we are
more careful (somebody mentioned this before) For example, when we are out on
the road and we see a cop pulled over on the side, why do we all slow down?
What is it in us that tells us to slow down- the fear of getting a ticket or
is it something else. Personally, I think it is the fear of getting a ticket.
We have to see somebody that regulates the law in order for us to actually
watch what we are doing out on the road. That is pretty bad, it has to take
something like that to make us think. (I hope I got my thought across to you
all, I am not really sure, but I hope so).

Subject: Road Rage
Hey You Psych 409 people-
I was thinking about the way we inherent our driving attitudes
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From our parents and somehow think that there's more to it. My sister and
I drive very differently and we were around the same type of role models.
Cathy, my sister drives slow, cautious and never misses a chance to turn
on her turn signal. She hardly ever gets upset like I do and just shugs
it off when people drive bad. On the other hand I rarely come to a
complete stop at a stop sign, sometimes stay within the speed limit and
maybe only signal when there is a cop around or if I have to switch lanes
in stop dead traffic. (Sorry Prof. James) Maybe I should have made this
e-mail anoynamous. Anyway, I also honk my horn to let people know that
their doing something wrong or had cut me off. I have never tail-gated
anyone but definatly have been tempted to do so. Before anyone freaks out
that Im immora, I want to say that I am working on my attitude,
espically since this class. So this seems to illustrate that theres more
to socialization of my parents due to the differences in driving attitudes
between my sister and I.

Subject: textbook
hey people!
Well, I guess what I got
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From the reading was that their are two
was of looking at and analyzing traffic safety. The traditional way would
be to punish people for "bad" driving. Which is kinda what society is
doing now. It obviously does not work. Espically when I have to drive
through traffic everyday going and coming to school. The new way or
alternative perspective derives
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From a social process of changing views on
driving. Although the alternative way seems the most healthy way I do not
see it has ever happening within my lifetime. There has to be some
inititive to change and in this sense it would have to be something big.
Change doesn't come easily. In a society that is growing in numbers the
number of cars and traffic driving time increases we seem to need a number
of different alternatives along with punishement consequences to create a
better attitude in driving.

Subject: Re: emotional intelligence
I'm not sure if you got the first reply so here it goes again. I think
one of the pet peeves for me is when a driver(s) cut in front of me so
that I have to slam on my brakes. It makes me upset that the driver can
be so inconsiderate and even dangerous to others. I think that the best
way to handle that kind of situation is to get yourself under control as
fast you can and calm down so that you can drive as safely as possible to
your destination. I also think that you need a lot of self control to be
able to this under this kind of situation.
Another pet peeve for me is when a driver yells at me or does something
derogatory to me when I have done nothing wrong to him/her. It makes me
wonder what his/her problem is. But I also realize that he/she is
distracting me away
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From safe driving. The best thing to do is to ignore
it and calm down as fast as you can and get the situation under control

i don't know if this is a good idea or not. it sounds good in some of the
things it says, but i don't think anyone is really going to take the time
to read someones license plate and call it in. not at $1.95 a call. and
besides shouldn't you just relax and act as if they didn't bother you. if
you get angry and want to call and try to write down the license number
aren't you losing control.

I agree with Lisa in which this is a hard class. There's just so
much to cover in such a short period of time. I'm still trying to keep up
with the exercises and make sure it gets done on time. I'm also reading a
little here and there to understand what I'm doing. We have a lot more to
learn and do, but I'm pretty much optimistic about everything. We just
have to help out each other so we can "survive". Have a nice weekend and
don't forget to "drive with aloha".

Subject: Re: our textbook
Hello everyone. This message is in regards to Chapter 1. I agree with
Rothe when he said that society and culture plays an important role with
our driving skills. Society greatly influences our attitudes on driving.
Not just because we're young. Age is not the issue. We are all different
people with different backgrounds, personalities, and so fourth. It's the
choice we make that changes our aspects on the road. We need to be a
little more understanding about other drivers and also internalize
our actions, thoughts, and feelings in order to have traffic safety.
Instead of punishing or threatening people, I believe the issue is
seeing beyond the individual him/herself to see why they drive or act
that certain way.

Hi Dr. James. I have already begun my report 3.html several days ago,
(Being a Driving Buddy), and an idea hit me. After reading through many
reports of past generations on being a driving buddy and some of the
observations I recorded, I realized that most of them were very similar in
terms of observations, reactions, defenses, etc. I would rather sort of
pull some reports together, present the similarites found in being a
driving buddy, analyze it, and present some solutions to the problems
often encountered. This seems to make more sense to me instead of my
report being on myself being a driving buddy, because so far, mine and
others are very similar and I would like to concentrate more on
soltutions, common experiences, etc.
How does this sound? Make sense?

Well the site itself took a long time to download onto my screen (due to
the black background). The site didn't offer any sort of information to
back up their cause (eg- what so called experts). The person responsible
for the page seems to be very angry and I hope that this doesn't sound too
far fetched but it seems to resemble some sort of militant group or
something. I realize how road rage can anger you but I feel their response
is inappropriate. Its's true that many people engaged in road rage lack
self-discipline, but that is not the only part of it. This group is
approaching road rage the wrong way.

THE TEXAS ROAD RAGE SITE TOOK A LONG TIME FOR IT TO DOWNLOAD. I ALMOST
THOUGHT MY COMPUTER COULDN'T HANDLE THE PICTURES.
I UNDERSTOOD WHY THEY WOULD CREATE SUCH A PAGE, BUT I FOUND IT SOMEWHAT
USELESS. I GUESS IT IS A FORM OF RELEASE AND A WAY TO VENT YOUR ANGER,
BUT I WONDER HOW EFFECTIVE IS THIS METHOD?

Subject: texas road rage
Hello out there,
Well, I visited the site Dr. James wanted us to look at. Well, I think that
this person/ or group has been bothered just a little too much by road rage.
It seems to me that he is holding in quite a bit of rage himself. It is like
Dr. James said if you must tell and tell somebody about it then you are out of
control. This is what seems to be happening in this case. But, I don't know
much about this person/people all I know is what I read. But, this is merely
my opinion. This biker needs to control himself.
Also, his comment about road rage being psychological and him disagreeing with
that he/she believes that it isn't psychological condition but rather lack of
self discipline. I think that road rage is possibly a combination of the two.
But, who is to say that the psychological condition might have caused that
persons lack of self discipline. As we have all probably learned before a
condition or disorder does not happen because of one thing going wrong, it is
always due to a multiplicity of influences.
Anyway, that is it for now.
Beatrice

Well, I visited this Texas Road Rage site and I was not very impressed.
The person or persons who run this site say that road rage is not a
psychological condition. Instead, they say that it a matter of self
discipline. What I wanted to know was how qualified are these people to
make this kind of judgement? How much research have they done on the topic
of road rage? They give no evidence or resources to support their
assertions. I also wanted to know how they will prevent license plates and
reports
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From being falsely posted. In other words, how can they be sure
that someone is reporting a plate because the driver was a bad driver and
not because they are trying to get revenge against the driver?

I didn't think this page was anything special. It just seemed to be

say anything else.
I agree with him and dislike the same thing but he offers no solution or

Hi! I looked at the Texas road rage page. I felt...scared. It's like
his anger is all over the home page. I think it is far
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From the idea of
being happy without a road rage. We need to find better ways rather than
punishing those road violaters. Making a home page is a good idea but not
in this way. We could gather info and teach people how to be a better
driver through home pages. But...I liked the image he was using....

I just visited this site and like many of you, I didn't care much about
it. This person/group only said how he felt about other drivers and
nothing else. There aren't enough information to back their page up.
What makes them think that road rage is due to lack of discipline instead
of a psychological condition? In a way, it could be both. That's just
my opinion. They were probably really angry to create such a page and say
things to threaten such violators. I don't think it's such a hot idea to
send them people's lisences and make of the car. It might cause more
"road rage". They're the ones who have no respect!

Subject: road rage
Dear Dr. Driving,
Following is what I encountered as road rage. The police have written me and
have said they have no interest in the case.
Fathers Day, June 21, 1998
I visited my parents in Vincennes and was on my way home in
Evansville. When I passed Princeton on highway 41 south, I noticed
another vehicle merging onto highway 41 south
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From Indiana64. I
looked in my rearview mirror to see if there were any vehicles close to
me or in the passing lane and saw none close to me so I merged into
the passing lane to allow this vehicle to merge safely into traffic and
when this vehicle was about 6 car lengths ahead of me, I merged into
the right lane. I had my cruise control set on 60mph. I followed this
vehicle, a black Volkswagen jetta, for less than 1/4 mile when the
jetta slowed down abruptly. I was gaining on the jetta so I merged
into the passing lane and passed the vehicle. After I was ahead of the
jetta about 3 car lengths, I merged back into the right lane. As soon
as I was in the right lane, this jetta started tailgating me and the
driver was honking his horn. I looked into my rearview mirror again
and the driver was shaking his fist at me. I sped up to 65mph and
the jetta was still tailgating me and shaking his fist and honking his
horn. So, I slowed down hoping the vehicle would pass me. Upon
slowing down, the jetta came up alongside of my vehicle and honked
his horn and continued shaking his fist at me and pointed to the side
of the road.
At this point, I still had no idea what I had done to the driver of this
vehicle. I thought about my current medical problem and the
prescription drug, Coumadin, which is for treatment of 2 past blood
clots in my leg and waist and is a blood thinner. My Doctors told me
to avoid getting cut or scraped since my blood would not clot as
quickly as others. I also thought about my being overweight by
nearly 100 pounds and being out of shape. I also thought about
taking the nearest sideroad but decided not to since I was afraid the
jetta would follow me onto this 2-lane road and perhaps bump my
vehicle causing me to either veer into the path of another car or into a
ditch. Both ways could cause serious injuries.
As I approached the hill nearest the next crossroads, I told myself
that the only way to diffuse this dangerous situation was to abruptly
speed up and get away. I looked ahead of me for the next vehicle
and saw a vehicle on the side of the road with the hood up and
another car in front of me over 1/4 mile away. I floored my
accelerator and was not watching my speedometer. I was more
interested in the traffic ahead of me that I was gaining on and the
jetta behind me. When I was about 300 yards away
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From the jetta, I
let off the gas pedal and was in the process of slowing down when I
noticed a Gibson County Deputy in the north bound lane. I saw the
deputy slow down and thought nothing of it since there was another
vehicle behind me on my side of the road with the hood up. When my
vehicle neared 60mph once more, I reset my cruise control at 60mph.
About 3/4 mile down the road, I noticed in my rearview mirror that
the Deputy was approaching me
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From the rear with lights and siren
on. I saw an abandoned gas station and pulled into that lot and
awaited for the Deputy. When the Deputy arrived, he approached my
vehicle and asked me if I had a medical emergency. I said no to his
question and he then told me I was under arrest for driving 94mph. I
told the Deputy about my encounter with road rage that had just
happened before he saw me. He was laughing and proceeded in
writing me a ticket. Several minutes later, an Indiana State Trooper
pulled into the gas station to assist the Deputy. I greeted the Trooper
by shaking his hand and then told the Trooper why I was speeding.
He declined to comment.
I told both officers about my current medical conditions and the
prescription drug, Coumadin. I also told them that I was nearly 100
pounds overweight and out of shape. I also told them that I did not
want to pull over to the side of the road since I had a fairly new
vehicle, a 97 Bonneville, and I did not want any scratches or dent on
it and I was afraid the jetta^ñs driver would attempt to break my
window and send broken glass onto me and possibly cut me.
The Deputy told me I should have called the police on a cell phone. I
told both officers that I did not own or have in my possession a cell
phone. The Deputy also told me I should know he were approaching
me
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From the other direction since he had left his radar activated. I
told both officers that I did not own nor have in my possession a radar
detector. I asked both officers what they would have done if they had
my same medical problems and encountered road rage. They
declined to comment. I also asked both officers what options a driver
has if that driver should encounter road rage. Again, both officers
declined to comment. I gave both officers a description of the vehicle
and they did nothing. They did not ask any pertinent questions at all
concerning the jetta.
Several days later, I visited the Gibson County Prosecutor^ñs office and
told the Deputy Prosecutor about my encounter with road rage, my
medical problems, and also gave her a description of the vehicle
including the issuing state, which was OREGON, and the tag number,
which was...L I A M. The Deputy Prosecutor told me they would
investigate. I showed the Deputy Prosecutor my vial of Coumadin as
well. I asked the Deputy Prosecutor what she would have done in
that same situation with my same medical problems and she declined
to comment. I also asked her what other options a driver has to avoid
being a victim in such an encounter and she, again, declined to
comment.
I feel that I am the victim in this encounter with road rage and should
not be penalized for diffusing a dangerous situation as quickly and as
safely as possible.
What would you have done if you were to have my same medical
problems? What other options were available to me? What if this
would have happened to a family with kids or a member of your
immediate family and both officers declined to do anything about it at
that time?
I feel my rights were violated under Amendment XIV Section 1 which
states: No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the
privileges or immunities of the citizens of the United States, nor shall
any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due
process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Hello.
In regards to the message to Dr. Driving, it was an unfortunate
encounter. I guess the other options that he could have taken would have
been to drive cautiously to a nearby police station. I definatly think
that he shoudn't have speeded up. He may have been trying to avoid a
negative situation but speeding was not the answer. By speeding he not
only put himself into danger but other drivers as well. I think that he
was right in not pulling over espically with his condition. Even if he
were to pull off to the side of the road with the other person fixing
his/her car I don't think he could have avoided the conflict of a physical
fight. As with the ticket he recieved he did break the law when he went
over the speed limit. Maybe now he knows that speeding is not the answer
to road rage.

Subject: Re: our textbook
Chapter one is about traffic safety. he talks about how people feel about
traffic safety and how it is currently defined. the idea that young
people get in the most wrecks and so they are the most risk taking
drivers. so society thinks that they should be punished or threatened.
what rothe says is that this isn't true. they aren't making
rational risks against what society says is the proper way to drive. they
don't think it out and decide to take a risk. there is more to it than
that. there are social influences and experience differences. alot of
different things go into the problem with traffic safety. He feels that
there needs to be more emphasis on changing our attitudes about driving
and having more education for young drivers.

I am sorry that I cannot put this in my past. My trial is Wednesday, July 22,
1998, at 3pm. I am prepared to file formal complaints against everyone that
had a part in victimizng me. It is a matter of principle and I am protecting

I think this website is like the other one on reporting plates. I think
it is not much of a solution, because all it does is publicize peoples
license plates. This does not seem like much of a punishment unless it
involves action by the police.

Hello everyone,
Wow that page was pretty eye catching! This persons seem to be a bit
angry. I agree that there are a lot of agressive drivers out there, and I
can empatheize with him regarding his views on motorists and cyclists. But
i don't think reporting people's license plated will help that much. It
will serve as a warning, but I pretty sure they'll do it again, especially
if they have the "so what" attitude. Thanks!

Wow! I can't believe this guy. He sounds as if he has a bit of road
rage himself. Now he says he won't give up "EVER!!" SCARY! I
understand that he is angry, but this is carrying it too far. He keeps
talking about this medical problem and that he is obese. These things
are beside the point. Why can't he admit that he was afraid (even
though he is an ex-Marine). If he was thin, had no medical problem, and
hadn't just bought a new car, would he have pulled over? I doubt it.
It doesn't matter anyway because that wouldn't have solved anything
anyway. It would have jut ended in a violent situation. I think that
he is so angry because he ran away and got caught. What choice did he
have on a barren highway?

Subject: Re: Road Rage (fwd)
Hi everyone. Well, I read both messages to Dr. Driving and I think the
writer of the messages needs to follow Dr. Driving's advice. Although I
think the driver of the jetta was mostly in the wrong, I also think the
message writer used bad driving behavior as well. There were several
things that he did in the beginning which triggered the jetta's reactions.
For instance, he overtook the jetta and then slowed down when the jetta
started to tail him. The worst thing he did was speed at over 90 mph to
get away
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From the jetta. If I recall correctly, there was a broken down
car on the side of the road as he sped by. The person trying to fix his
car could have stepped out into the road without seeing the message
writer's speeding car. If this had happened, the message writer would not
have been able to stop in time and would have killed the stranded
motorist. So, the writer needs to realize that he was also wrong in his
behavior. He needs to realize that he is not just a victim of road
rage, he has road rage as well.

I think this Texas road rage guy must have been majorly pissed by what Dr.

After reading about this man's unfortunate incident, I feel sad about
the effects that road rage has on people. Innocent victims like these
should not be punished because of someone else's unreasonable anger. I am
very glad that you posted this letter. It opens my eyes to the potential
harm that I may inevitably participate in, if I continue on the path to
road rage.
Dr.Driving's advice to this poor man is very wise. I have also
experienced situations that I felt were unfair and have angered me, but it
is wrong to take action out of anger. It is also important to pick your
"battles" wisely. This man is too angry and too close to the situation to
see clearly. In the long run he will only be hurting himself more. It is
definitely not worth it.
I hope the old saying that "what goes around, comes around," is true.
I do think that the hostile driver that initiated the action was wrong to
do so, but like Dr.James said in class, we are not the ones to judge or
enforce the law.

I think that it was very unfortunate that this driver had an
experience like he did. I don't know what I would have done in that same
situation. However, I think that the best thing to do is to stay in
control of the situation as best as you can. Also to stay as calm as you
can so that you can keep in control of the situation. I also think that
it was up the police to do something a little more constructive and at
least informing this person of other possible solutions that he could have
taken. I think that this driver did the best that he could under the
situation.

This message is in reply to Dr. James' question on false assumptions and
alternatives to it. I really upset when a driver speeds up just to get in
front of me. I usually end up speeding up also so that they can't get in.
I think of this person as being stupid, ignorant, and doesn't even know
how to drive.-----An alternative to this would be thinking that this
person is in a real hurry or even maybe that he or she has an emergengy.
This alternative probably cool one down and not even phase the person.
Another driving pet peeve of mine is when people don't wave thank you when
I let them in. I always think of this person as being an inconsiderate
fool. By taking an alternative approach to this would lighten the
situation. First, by acknowledging the fact that maybe the person's hand
were busy with something else can help. Maybe the individual did wave,
but you didn't see it.
These are two alternatives to driving pet peeves of mine.

Hi class of G9, here is the topic for you this week (by the way, you can
(maybe should) write more than one comment. E.g., why not comment on some
other G9 person's comment?? That takes your performances one step deeper
(and more valuable to you as a learning opportunity).
Look at the attached letter I received. What do you think? Do you agree
or not and why with his distinction between "assertive" and "aggressive"
and what do we need to do to let police intervene more to ticket what he
calls the "passive" drivers, as this man wants to. Would that be a good
development, in your view? Why?

Subject: Your Road Rage Survey
Dear DrDriving:
A couple of points I'd like to make.
First, I see a problem in classification. You seem to use two
categories: "normal" and aggressive. This is similar to the old
authoritarian/permissive parenting dichotomy. Adding the authoritative
parenting style greatly increased the value of the classification
scheme. I would argue that there should be at least three (maybe more)
categories of drivers: Passive, Assertive, and Aggressive.
Passive = Drivers who are not "actively" driving. They are often either
inattentive to what is going on around them, or downright inconsiderate
of other drivers needs. My pet peeve: They fail to expedite the passing
of other traffic (driving 1, 2, or 3 mph faster than the traffic they
are passing). More often than not, this is what causes other drivers to
"tailgate". We have few other ways of getting their attention or
letting them know that we want them to hurry up and get out of the way,
unless we employ the less polite laying-on-of-the-horn approach.
Assertive = Drivers who are "actively" driving. They are focused on the
task of driving and on getting where they are going, paying attention to
what is going on around them, get out of the way of faster drivers,
yield the fast lane when someone is overtaking them, adjusting their
speed to allow others to enter or exit the expressway, etc. They are
aware of the needs, and respect the rights of other drivers.
Aggressive = Drivers who ignore the rights of other drivers, and are
concerned only with their needs. Often impolite, vindictive, and
engaging in dangerous driving practices. Sometimes intentionally.
Second, I believe that anger and even "road rage" is the *result* of the
lack of consideration by both the passive and the aggressive drivers.
Yet, I don't think I have ever seen a cop pull someone over for "lack of
consideration" actions. Why? It is much easier to ticket for speeding,
because speeding can be measured objectively, and will hold up in court.

Subject: road rage
Hi everyone- hope the gen.html is going well.
In regards to the man who was a victim of road rage. I certainly
empathize with this man and I understand how this incident would be
difficult to put behind. But, taking this incident to court is probably
not going to get him far. This may seem unfair to him but he also has to
realize that many many people are victims of road rage, including myself a
number of times. Because this man suffered no injuries or emotional trauma
(he's upset but I don't think he's been traumatized). I think this man
just feels like he he a purpose to find justice and wants to prove that he
is going to get it. The bottom line is that they are probably going to
cancel the speeding ticket just to get this guy off their backs and road
rage remains the same.
I think he could have done a few things differently (like not speed up to
94mph, and not slow down when the jetta was behind him), but really this
is a bit irrelevant now. He needs to regain control of himself behind the
wheel and devote his energy to retraining himself and his emotions behind
the wheel. When someone is tailgating you initiating a challenge on the
highway, control is the key to remain rational and have a plan. When
people feel like they are victims, many times they want to represent all
victims of the same situation. There is nothing wrong with that. But that
is not the only place where he should be devoting his attention to.

Subject: Re: road rage (fwd)
After reading both messages I feel first and foremost that the person in
the jetta was wrong for doing what he did. I can't understand what made
him so mad (unless the writer isn't telling the whole truth). then again
that doesn't make what he did right. I think that after he cut over
because the jetta was going to slow he should have just sayed in the left
lane until there was a car which wanted to pass.
As far as his response to your response of letting it go. I think bu not
letting it go he is participating in a type of road rage and it ma
possibly be uncontrolable.

Well, I just got through reading his comments and find it sounding very
rational on paper but do not see how it could be carried out in the real
world. Thus, I agree with the many points that Natalie had commented on.
I definatly agree that agressive driving is an easier position to
recognize for authorities to ticket. I also do believe that depending on

Subject: article in Midweek
Hi everyone. I found an article in Midweek dated July 22, 1998. I thought
I'd share it with all of you.The woman who wrote the article is Carla
Rogers
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From Kaneohe and the person who responded to her is Pamela Young.
The title of the article is Regretting Road Rage.
Here it is:
Dear Pamela,
One morning several months ago while dropping off recycled
materials at Heeia Elementary School, a woman inadvertently bumped into my
car and scraped the rear fender. I yelled out, "Watch where you're
going!!"
I am deeply regretful I put my material values above her personal
feelings and I want to apologize for showing my anger. It was obvious she
didn't mean to cause any damage and I'm sure she felt bad enough without
my harsh words. Again, I'm sorry.
Here was the response:
Dear Carla,
Words spoken in anger can wound the speaker, as well as the person
spoken to. Isn't it amazing how quickly we feel the pain we inflict on others?
Rarely are we given the opportunity to undo such mistakes. You
deserve APPLAUSE for a wonderful effort.

Hi Everyone
Thanks Irene for sharing this article with us. I think this article
represents us all as humans. I think Anger is a human emotion and we can
probably train ourselves not to react towards it but it is natural for us to
have. It is also nice to hear that someone out there was sorry about getting
their anger out. Granted the other woman bumped her, but she was later able
to step aside and see that accidents do happen.
I feel that it took a lot of guts to be able to apologize and she does deserve
some applause.

Hi everyone. I thought the article Irene shared was really
interesting. Even though the message writer in the article responded badly
during the incident, it seemed like she learned some valuable lessons from
her experience. She realized that the driver did not hit her car on
purpose and that people shouldn't respond with anger. So, it seems like
she will more closely monitor her behavior in the future and she should
feel good that she realized and attempted to correct her mistake.

That is very commendable on the part of Pamela for apologizing
publicly..Not many people would do such a thing. I think many times,
drivers just automatically speak without thinking of the consequences. It
happens in everyday life too. I think it's our culture, and we need to
guard against it.

Irene,
It was very interesting article. I agree with Beatrice. I really admire
her apology. This article really shows that our reaction is a result of
socialization. I agree with Tamar when she said that it is our culture!
I think she didn't mean to say such a thing but since she is so used to
this kind of reactions that it came out naturally. Without thinking she
said it. But now her courage can have impact on some people who may
face same sort of situation in the future. Let's not yell people like
that!

Interesting article Irene! It's no shock that a person can feel bad about
how they treated another driver after what's been said. It's great that
Pamela had the courage to apologize for her anger and let the situation
not bother her any more. Like what Fumiko and Tamar added, it's only
natural for the person to get angry right when the accident happened.
When you don't expect to be reared into and all of a sudden it happens,
you react to it right away and don't think before "snapping". Pam
should'nt regret yelling though. The other driver should have been more
attentive of the car(Pam's) in front of her. I had a situation where a
man bumped and scraped my car who didn't feel bad enough about it. I was
cool about it and thought it was minor but when that "jerk" took off
without going to the side and checking it out, I just had to yell out my
feelilngs.

Subject: RE: car accident prevention
Dear Dr Leon James,
Thanks for your rapid response to my comments.
I will look at the info about QDC but in the meantime there could be started a research, and even a discussion in the Web towards the redaction of a "Universal Chart for the Awareness of Car Accident Prevention" (UCACAP?) to be widely spread and officially assumed by as many countries as possible (UN?, UNESCO?).
A study could take place about the specifics of the psycological situation of the driver,in contrast with the non driving or normal situation, such as:
the change in the intensity of the light,
the vibration and sound that characterize the driver's environment, together with
the particular meditative situation of the driving as a semi-active-expectant situation).
Other aspects could also be observed, as they have their particular problems and ask for a special attention, for instance:
the first hour of a longer trip, as well as
the arrival period.
Finally it would be interesting to relate this problematic with a wider view that is the general understanding of the real meaning of the Quality of Life. Today's life is very complex and everyone has access to powerful tools of communication and transportation which increases the intensity of experience, with all the risks envolved.
A clear definition of the goals in life, shared by all humans, as well as an extended awareness, become a must in order to give strength to preventing "dead ends".
If this approach is developed, we will come to the point that driving, the whole context in which it takes place, and the questions raised by it, will become a great school of life!...
Once such a constitutional document is defined, together with much of the documentation gathered in this process, it may become a base for many campaigns, global, national, local.
It is my conviction that the time is ripe for such an action, otherwise, what I call a negative hallucination will become overwhelming as we will succeed NOT seing much of what is surrounding us...
Hope to hear

From you soon.
Best greetings VP

Mr. Pomar, I posted your comments on Dear DrDriving so others can also
reflect on your reflections about driving, how dangerous it is, and how to
keep this reality in people's minds.
One solution I might suggest is the idea of Quality Driving Circles:
would you consider starting a QDC in your neighborhood? That would go
along way towards achieving what you were hoping for. Information on QDCs

Sometimes I try to let people pull out in front of me on a busy
street. there are no stop lights and it takes a while for traffic to open and
allow them to get out. Unfortunatly, there are idiots who dont understand why
I am stopping and the go around to pass me.
first of all, I would have had my turn signal on, secondly, I would have
pulled a little more to the side before turning, and last, dont they see my
hand waving at the other driver to pull out???! ...But these people still
decide pass me while Im sitting in the middle of the street. Usually , the
Idiot has to slam on his brakes to avoid hitting the car pulling out, and he
is stuck there, half in my lane, half in the other lane, blocking traffic. I
usually yell that I was letting someone out and that he should have known
since I did not have a turn signal on. And he usually apologizes or kinda loks
away embarrased. Still, what can I do so they know not to pass??

Subject: Re: Road Rage Survey
Well, I read Mr. Nichols' letter about his different categories of
drivers. I found his categories interesting and they appear to be
accurate. But there are always so many factors to consider when
categorizing people. I wonder how Mr. Nichols would categorize a driver
who possesses both assertive and aggressive driving qualities. I think it
would be dangerous for the police to start ticketing inconsiderate
drivers. They can ticket people for reckless driving and determining who
is inconsiderate is subjective. Also, it is hard to catch because
inconsiderate actions on the road happen so quickly.

Subject: Re: Road Rage Survey
I agree with his definitions of assertive and agressive drivers. To me
being assertive means driving smart and defensively. Defensive in the
sense that you are aware of what is going on around you and driving in a
manner that will keep you and other drivers as safe as possible.
I honestly don't know what we can do to catch passive drivers. I guess
it's just easier for police officers to spot more blatant forms of bad
driving like speeding.

Subject: Re: Your Road Rage Survey (fwd)
Hello G9!
I agree with this man about having more than two categories of driving.
There's the assertive, aggressive, and passive drivers. An assertive
driver is focused and aware. This is the driver we all would like to be.
We all would love to be this driver, but truthfully if our name isn't Dr.
Driving, we would fall into the other two categories too. At times, we
get aggressive. Those are the times we cause harm not only for ourselves,
but others as well. Being passive can also be harmful. If we are
inattentive with our driving, that may lead into big problems. I agree
with Christin in that it depends on the persons mood. Our personalities
change each day and so do our driving attitudes. Getting a ticket, I
believe won't make a difference in how we drive. We just have to work on
being just that assertive driver.
Let your standard be WWJD? -Carolyn

Subject: Re: Your Road Rage Survey (fwd)
In reguard to the road rage survey, I think this guy has a point. There
are all kinds of drivers (probably more than even he mentioned) but I
don't think that you could effectivly measure them all.
As for his comment about tickets I agree with him also. Although it isn't
fair many of the courteous drivers are the ones who end up with the
speeding ticket. I am unsure myself if the "I was being courteous" plea
would work in court so rather than speed I would rather turn my blinker on
slow down and then swithc lanes.
Anyway that's just my opinion. Bye for now

Subject: Re: article in Midweek
Hi 409,
After receiving and discussing many messages on negative driving
behavior, we finally get a positive example. I don't mean that the
person was doing right on screaming. It is hard for one person to
realize, regret and even share his/her "not so good" behavior with
other persons. The reaction that she had is a common one and acceptable
to many people in her situation. But being students in 409, we should
all learn how to become calmers.

That was a great article. It was nice of the woman to apologize
(pubically for that matter). There have probable been many of us who have
regretted what came out of our mouths and wished that we could take it
back. It just goes to show that it's possible sometimes.
This woman was lucky that the person she yelled at didn't take more
dangerous action like pulling a gun or beating her to a pulp.
Thanks again for the article.

Upon reading the very same article in the Midweek, I had not thought to
relate it to our class. But now I can see that it is very much a part of
the road rage we've been talking about. The woman who wrote the letter
obviously overreacted to a situation that was unintentional and innocuous.
Furthermore judging

From her letter, the other person was apologetic for
what she had done.
I thought it was decent of the woman who wrote the letter to
apologize for letting her anger get out of control. I understand her
regret wholeheartedly. Sometimes I also misplace my anger on a bad day,
or allow my anger to get out of control. I think it does more damage to
myself, than to the target of my reaction. It is one more reminder that
we should always think before we react.

society just focuses more on drug and alcohol problem then road rage.

That maybe our society should approach bad driving with the same

Hello Out there,
This is the substituting Dr.Driving, first of all I would try to explain to
'Recruiter 4' that it is very dangerous for him to let people pull out,
because really there is no way of letting oncoming traffic of what he is
planning to do. It is very nice of him to want to help these other vehicles,
because I have been there, at a stop or trying to pull out and nobody helps
me out or gives me a chance. But, I realize now that this really is a
dangerous situation. Like the writer said that many times the people that are
trying to pass him almost hit the other vehicle. I think this should be an
indication to him/her that it is not safe for them to do this. I would also
explain to this writer that if something should happen he may not be liable
for the accident he may cause, but it will haunt him forever. By haunting
him/her, I mean that he will constantly be thinking that he gave him the go
ahead and because of him the other car hit him.
Anyway, this is a very complicated situation and I sure am glad I am not Dr.
Driving. I feel that I really need a lot more training to be able to answer
this more comfortably. But, I certainly feel that this class has definitely
helped me.

I think that the best thing to do is to let it go because if you yell
at the driver than it might irritate or aggravate him/her into aggressive
behavior on the road towards you. I think the best thing to do is let the
driver go even though it may not be the wisest choice that the driver
could make. It will avoid any unnecessary consequences for you and others
driving.

Hey Everyone,
I also have to say that what this man went through is unfortunate, but life
goes on and although we would all like to see justice. What are the chances
of that? Control is the key. I was the victim of road rage once and I had to
stay cool, I was also scared and I guess that is why I tried to stay cool, but
irregardless, I know that the key is control. If I had lost control, the guy
that was following me might have done something to hurt me, but since I didn't
do anything, he eventually went away.

I agree with Dr. James telling Rick that he needs to put the incident
behind him. I think the individual feels very victimized by both the
system and the man that threatened him while driving. I would try to fight
it, the worst that would happen is paying a fine. But, actually I think
this guy is going to go even farther. I really don't think he has a case
though.

From Rick Kirchoff, I
felt really sorry for this guy. I think the police officers didn't believe
him. I don't think he did anything wrong. The officers should actually be
grateful that he didn't start a confrontation on the side of the road with
this irate driver. He did the right thing by not getting angry, but he
shouldn't have sped up that much. He could have just driven to the nearest
exit, and look for a police station. But in the end, the deputy prosecuter
should have given him a break at least. He showed proof of his medical
condition, and gave the license and make of the vehicle. That sounds
pretty truthful.

Subject: road rage
Dear Dr. Driving,
Following is what I encountered as road rage. The police have written me
and
have said they have no interest in the case.
Fathers Day, June 21, 1998
I visited my parents in Vincennes and was on my way home in
Evansville. When I passed Princeton on highway 41 south, I noticed
another vehicle merging onto highway 41 south
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From Indiana64. I
looked in my rearview mirror to see if there were any vehicles close to
me or in the passing lane and saw none close to me so I merged into
the passing lane to allow this vehicle to merge safely into traffic and
when this vehicle was about 6 car lengths ahead of me, I merged into
the right lane. I had my cruise control set on 60mph. I followed this
vehicle, a black Volkswagen jetta, for less than 1/4 mile when the
jetta slowed down abruptly. I was gaining on the jetta so I merged
into the passing lane and passed the vehicle. After I was ahead of the
jetta about 3 car lengths, I merged back into the right lane. As soon
as I was in the right lane, this jetta started tailgating me and the
driver was honking his horn. I looked into my rearview mirror again
and the driver was shaking his fist at me. I sped up to 65mph and
the jetta was still tailgating me and shaking his fist and honking his
horn. So, I slowed down hoping the vehicle would pass me. Upon
slowing down, the jetta came up alongside of my vehicle and honked
his horn and continued shaking his fist at me and pointed to the side
of the road.
At this point, I still had no idea what I had done to the driver of this
vehicle. I thought about my current medical problem and the
prescription drug, Coumadin, which is for treatment of 2 past blood
clots in my leg and waist and is a blood thinner. My Doctors told me
to avoid getting cut or scraped since my blood would not clot as
quickly as others. I also thought about my being overweight by
nearly 100 pounds and being out of shape. I also thought about
taking the nearest sideroad but decided not to since I was afraid the
jetta would follow me onto this 2-lane road and perhaps bump my
vehicle causing me to either veer into the path of another car or into a
ditch. Both ways could cause serious injuries.
As I approached the hill nearest the next crossroads, I told myself
that the only way to diffuse this dangerous situation was to abruptly
speed up and get away. I looked ahead of me for the next vehicle
and saw a vehicle on the side of the road with the hood up and
another car in front of me over 1/4 mile away. I floored my
accelerator and was not watching my speedometer. I was more
interested in the traffic ahead of me that I was gaining on and the
jetta behind me. When I was about 300 yards away
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From the jetta, I
let off the gas pedal and was in the process of slowing down when I
noticed a Gibson County Deputy in the north bound lane. I saw the
deputy slow down and thought nothing of it since there was another
vehicle behind me on my side of the road with the hood up. When my
vehicle neared 60mph once more, I reset my cruise control at 60mph.
About 3/4 mile down the road, I noticed in my rearview mirror that
the Deputy was approaching me
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From the rear with lights and siren
on. I saw an abandoned gas station and pulled into that lot and
awaited for the Deputy. When the Deputy arrived, he approached my
vehicle and asked me if I had a medical emergency. I said no to his
question and he then told me I was under arrest for driving 94mph. I
told the Deputy about my encounter with road rage that had just
happened before he saw me. He was laughing and proceeded in
writing me a ticket. Several minutes later, an Indiana State Trooper
pulled into the gas station to assist the Deputy. I greeted the Trooper
by shaking his hand and then told the Trooper why I was speeding.
He declined to comment.
I told both officers about my current medical conditions and the
prescription drug, Coumadin. I also told them that I was nearly 100
pounds overweight and out of shape. I also told them that I did not
want to pull over to the side of the road since I had a fairly new
vehicle, a 97 Bonneville, and I did not want any scratches or dent on
it and I was afraid the jetta^ñs driver would attempt to break my
window and send broken glass onto me and possibly cut me.
The Deputy told me I should have called the police on a cell phone. I
told both officers that I did not own or have in my possession a cell
phone. The Deputy also told me I should know he were approaching
me
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From the other direction since he had left his radar activated. I
told both officers that I did not own nor have in my possession a radar
detector. I asked both officers what they would have done if they had
my same medical problems and encountered road rage. They
declined to comment. I also asked both officers what options a driver
has if that driver should encounter road rage. Again, both officers
declined to comment. I gave both officers a description of the vehicle
and they did nothing. They did not ask any pertinent questions at all
concerning the jetta.
Several days later, I visited the Gibson County Prosecutor^ñs office and
told the Deputy Prosecutor about my encounter with road rage, my
medical problems, and also gave her a description of the vehicle
including the issuing state, which was OREGON, and the tag number,
which was...L I A M. The Deputy Prosecutor told me they would
investigate. I showed the Deputy Prosecutor my vial of Coumadin as
well. I asked the Deputy Prosecutor what she would have done in
that same situation with my same medical problems and she declined
to comment. I also asked her what other options a driver has to avoid
being a victim in such an encounter and she, again, declined to
comment.
I feel that I am the victim in this encounter with road rage and should
not be penalized for diffusing a dangerous situation as quickly and as
safely as possible.
What would you have done if you were to have my same medical
problems? What other options were available to me? What if this
would have happened to a family with kids or a member of your
immediate family and both officers declined to do anything about it at
that time?
I feel my rights were violated under Amendment XIV Section 1 which
states: No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the
privileges or immunities of the citizens of the United States, nor shall
any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due
process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Hi! Everyone!
After I read both of this man's messages, I felt sorry for him. However,
like Natalie said in her reply, it could be that he had fault himself,
too. I never witnessed this incident so I can't really say this but
thinking in this way may help him to forget about the day and move on.
Being angry for long time is not good for his health. I don't think he is
happy now. I agree with Lisa's comment when she said those police
officers could give him some suggestions in this kind of situations.
Then, he might have felt better afterwords.
I hope this is not extreme, but there was one incident in Japan that one
female student was killed by some crazy man. After this incedent, the
reporter asked her mother about her feelings. The mother said that
...something like ..probably it was her destiny..and even the killer is
caught, my daughter is not coming back.. It sounds strange if I translate
it to English, but what she meant was..Although she is very sad and hurt,
being angry or thinking of revenge will not bring her daughter back. This
may be nothing to do with road rage, but you know the principle of
Dr.Driving's idea is there....I think. What do you think?

Wow! What can I say. This person had a lot to explain and I feel really
sad for him. He got into an unfortunate situation, but he too needs to
take fault also. First of all, when he saw the jetta speed up to him, he
merged to the side and allowed the car to pass. That was a smart thing to
do. But when he decided to follow, it just turned the whole story around.
He shouldn't have followed. I think that's the worst mistake to make,
especially with his health conditions. Why didn't he think of that in the
first place. As far as the deputys giving him a ticket, I believe he
deserved it. He talked about his rights being violated, but what about
him violating the law? 94 miles and hour could've led to a tragic
accident. Thank God, it didn't because he would've had more than a
speeding ticket. I understand where he said he can't put it behind him.
Horrible road rages like that we can't forget, but he should face the fact
that he could've avoided it the minute the jetta passed him the first
time.

Subject: Re: road rage (fwd)
this is in reply to the person who sent the letter to dr. driving. i
think he was definitely right for not stopping off the side of the road.
this would have been the worst thing he could have done. but i don't
think he was right for speeding, definitely not at 90 mph. maybe he
should have sped up a little more maybe like 70 and see if the person
calms down. if not try to stay out of the persons way. Maybe they could
have driven to a police station a little later, after nothing worked. but
speeding at over90 mph until the jetta was a long ways a way is not good.
i think the person would have stopped chasing them after a while.

this guy is really upset. he won't change his mind about it at all. i do
think that the jetta was wrong but he also went about it the wrong way. i
like what Lisa said "I also think that it was up the police to do
something a little more constructive and at least informing this person of
other possible solutions that he could have taken." the police definitely
didn't handle this very well. they could have given some better solutions
than check radar scanner or use cell phone.

In regards to what the man said about classification: I agree with him
that expanding Dr. James' classificaiton would serve to be helpful for
those who need driving personality makeovers. The person could fit into
one of the categories or more than one and be able to work on specific
driving errors (and anger control on the highway). Or classification could
be useful in QDCs and serve as an outline for aggressive drivers. More
than three categories however would probably be too confusing and the
overlay of criteria for the categories would be too much.
I agree with Beatrice on what she said about the leadership qualities and
how different types of personalities can fit into the categorization. She
also mentioned how people can change when they get behind the wheel. I
also believe though that a person'aggressivenss behind the wheel can
reflect the personality.
I agree with Murai as well that police officers ticketing people for lack
of consideration would be far too subjective and probably will lead to
lawsuits or alot of people fighting tickets.

Hello everyone,
I like the way he made a parallel to parenting styles and the three types
of driving. I agree with his definitions of what an assertive and
aggressive drive. It made me see that there is a clear distinction between
the two. If didn't know any better, I would say that they're similar. I
agree with what Ms. Dayle Lee had to say about defensive driving. To
answer your question about police intervening with passive drivers - maybe
there should be law created regarding these types of drivers because these
types of drivers [I feel] are one of the contributing factors to road rage
and to why people tailgate. Thank you!

Subject: Road Rage!
The following is a message I am sending to Oregonians:
I am a resident of Northeast Oregon and our society has social problems
that people need to take responsibility for. Road Rage is one of them. I am
one of those people who get upset with people who abuse their driving
privilege and drive in ignorance of the law, the rights of other motorists,
and society in general.
The local Oregon State Police (OSP) have consistently admitted to being
unable to monitor highway traffic let alone control it. There are times
during the middle of the day when an OSP trooper is not posted on Highway
11. Motorists take advantage of this here by driving 10 to 20 mph over the
speed limit [55 mph on Highway 11]. They tailgate wanting to pass anyone
who is driving safely and legally. They pass several vehicles in a row and
sometimes do so with close calls with oncoming traffic. Where it is
four-lane traffic, they speed past slower cars and sometimes weave in and
out of cars between the two lanes. When a car crosses lanes to enter
traffic or crosses lanes to exit traffic, the speeders are a potential
hazard, a life-threatening hazard.
People who drive legal and safe must now take matters responsibly into
their own hands and DO SOMETHING! This includes social reprimands. But this
does not mean doing something illegal. During daylight hours, I have found
that when a vehicle wants to speed and pass me as I do the speed limit or a
little above, I can motion out my window for them to slow down. I make eye
contact if possible, and I make a sign with my hand showing the speed limit
(55). I display my hand at them twice showing five fingers --- indicating
that the speed limit is 55. I call this social reprimand "Five-Fiving."
I may also call into 911 and report the vehicle if they continue to drive
unsafe. It is important to be professional about it. That means gathering
the appropriate data: Physical description of the driver, plate number and
state, vehicle make and model and color, location and time of the incident,
direction of the vehicle, etc. If citizens want to make a difference they
need to do it in a SAFE and EFFECTIVE manner that will hold up in court and
avoid law suits or fines. Two wrongs do not make a right.
At times I have pulled up next to a bad driver and let them know I was
taking down their plate number by waving a pencil and pad at them and
pointing at their rig. While the immediate result will usually be less than
desirable, in the long run it may start people thinking. No change in
behavior can occur voluntarily without first being influenced and then
thinking about it.
Bad driving that pushes matters to the edge is typical of our capitalistic
and aggressive culture. As a society we tend to push things to the limit
and then wonder why we have violence and antisocial youth and young adults.
It is cultural and it is everyone's responsibility.
Do your part and "pass it on" Five-Five!
Make a photocopy of this page and PASS-IT-ON!
Have a Nice Day!
Thank You!

other drivers do what you want them to do. That's a fact. Reality.
Indirectly, you can participate in QDC activities (see below) that
ultimately will influence these drivers' behavior.
Second, tell yourself that getting angry is a loss of control and is
harmful to your health, besides making your drive unpleasant. Please read
DrDriving's Inner Power Tools and other suggestions so you can turn this
into your victory--back to enjoying driving. You can't lose with this
one.
Let me know how you're progressing. Get together with a bunch of people
and meet regularly to discuss your driving problems and stories and advice
and exercises. This way you regain control over your driving life. It's
worth it. Better than sitting helpless and frustrasted, and worse,
becoming a road rager in response to our frustrations and stress.
Take care and drive Aloha!

Subject: Re: Passing Idiots (fwd)
So far, only several students had replied this message. I agree
with their opinion. The best way to let the driver pull out as soon as
possible is to give him/her more space. It is easier to let the
driver in front of us knows what our intention is. If we drive too
closed, the driver may feel dangerous to pull out even if we wave at
him/her. Although the waving peson needs to take the liability, it is the
most direct way to let other people know your intention. If you want to
be nice, you need to take a risk (risk--that's what we discussed in class
today).

I read his article on assertive, passive, and aggressive drivers. I think
that being an assertive driver is the best because you as a driver are
alert and attentive to your surroundings and other drivers. The
difference between assertive and aggressive drivers is that aggressive can
drive dangerously and put people on the road in danger. I think an
assertive driver is conscious of his/her surroundings and other drivers.
I think that it is a big difference. I also think that passive and
aggressive drivers are not good in different and opposite ways.

Subject: Re: Your Road Rage Survey (fwd)
Well, I read the article Dr. James sent us and I do think that there are more
than just two types of drivers.
As far as what this man had to say, I have to agree that assertive drivers are
better and more considerate. I took a leadership class a couple of semesters
ago and they also used: passive, assertive and aggressive to describe
personalities. So, just like you describe personalities so are their driving
personalities. I don't know if this makes sense, but I think that we all know
that people do change when they are behind the wheel. Being aggressive can
cause problems on the road because all they care about is themselves and being
too passive in a sense is also just careing about themselves, so they are
unaware of what is going on around them. Therefore, being assertive is the
best type of driver. And I have to admit that I have not yet read about Dr.
James' interpretation of 'normal' versus 'aggressive' drivers. So, I can't
comment on that, but I do believe that there are more than two types of
drivers.
Rothe, mentions in chapter two three levels of commitment: minimal,
circumscribed and authentic. I think because of these three levels wouldn't
what level you fit into also say something about what type of driver you are?
Please help me out, that is what I think.

I really liked what the article had to say. I agree with the categories in
which a driver can fall into, passive, assertive, and aggressive. I liked
the various descriptions of drivers, too. The development of ticketing
"passive" drivers would be too difficult to assess. They can actually
ticket drivers for going too slow. Maybe banning the use of cellular
phones while driving should be passed. One would need to pull over if they
are receiving a call. A ticket could be given to those who are caught
violating the law. This would probably be the only law that could be
assesssed.

other G9 person's comment?? That takes your performances one step deeper
(and more valuable to you as a learning opportunity).
Look at the attached letter I received. What do you think? Do you agree
or not and why with his distinction between "assertive" and "aggressive"
and what do we need to do to let police intervene more to ticket what he
calls the "passive" drivers, as this man wants to. Would that be a good

Subject: Your Road Rage Survey
Dear DrDriving:
A couple of points I'd like to make.
First, I see a problem in classification. You seem to use two
categories: "normal" and aggressive. This is similar to the old
authoritarian/permissive parenting dichotomy. Adding the authoritative
parenting style greatly increased the value of the classification
scheme. I would argue that there should be at least three (maybe more)
categories of drivers: Passive, Assertive, and Aggressive.
Passive = Drivers who are not "actively" driving. They are often either
inattentive to what is going on around them, or downright inconsiderate
of other drivers needs. My pet peeve: They fail to expedite the passing
of other traffic (driving 1, 2, or 3 mph faster than the traffic they
are passing). More often than not, this is what causes other drivers to
"tailgate". We have few other ways of getting their attention or
letting them know that we want them to hurry up and get out of the way,
unless we employ the less polite laying-on-of-the-horn approach.
Assertive = Drivers who are "actively" driving. They are focused on the
task of driving and on getting where they are going, paying attention to
what is going on around them, get out of the way of faster drivers,
yield the fast lane when someone is overtaking them, adjusting their
speed to allow others to enter or exit the expressway, etc. They are
aware of the needs, and respect the rights of other drivers.
Aggressive = Drivers who ignore the rights of other drivers, and are
concerned only with their needs. Often impolite, vindictive, and
engaging in dangerous driving practices. Sometimes intentionally.
Second, I believe that anger and even "road rage" is the *result* of the
lack of consideration by both the passive and the aggressive drivers.
Yet, I don't think I have ever seen a cop pull someone over for "lack of
consideration" actions. Why? It is much easier to ticket for speeding,
because speeding can be measured objectively, and will hold up in court.

Hi! How are you? I hope everyone is surviving.
For the categoralization this man mentioned, he has his point in
categorization drivers to passive, assertive, and aggressive. However, like
Natalie and Christin mentioned, we need to be careful when we categolize
people. There is no clear border between them. I can be a passive or
aggressive driver sometimes although I want to think of myself as
assertive driver. Moreover, when people age, some people become passive
drivers, I believe. I think the important question we need to ask about
our driving is that if our driving is not harmful or not distructive to
other drivers. We also need to think about how we will act in the
situation that we are involved in road rage. I don't know if this
categorization will help us for this because yesterday's assertive
drivers can be real aggressive drivers tomorrow.
About giving tickets to drivers who are inconsiderate....I don't know. As
Natalie mentioned, it can be subjective. I don't want a police officer to
give me a ticket only because he thought my driving is inconsiderate on a
particular day. But they can give those aggressive drivers warning
every time officers see them.

Dear Dr. James & G9 students:
I need to apologize that I haven't participated in e-mail
discussion for a long time. Since I don't have a computer at home,
I need to do everything at the computer labs on campus. As you've
recognized, doing those reports really takes time.
Anyway, here is what I think regarding the letter Dr. James sent
us:
Just like most of you, I agree the definitions of those three
types of drivers. Giving tickets is a good way to control drivers'
behavior, but passive and aggressive drivers are hard to be caught.
It is hard to tell whether their behaviors are intentional. Also,
new drivers (I mean those who have just learned how to drive) may drive
crazily. This is just a problem of their skill. They may be passive
drivers. We can't teach them how to drive by giving them tickets. Right?

I think the writer has some valid points. There are many types of
drivers, and we cannot all fit well into two broad categories. However I
am unsure of his definitions of passive, assertive, and aggressive
driving. I don't necessarily think that passive drivers are inconsiderate
to others, nor are all assertive drivers respectful and knowledgeable
about the needs of other drivers. Thus I don't believe that we should
have police ticket these passive drivers, especially if they are not
harming or endangering anyone else. The traffic laws were made to promote
safety, not to give people what they want. In addition, the law would be
too subjective if they allowed officers to cite drivers based on thier
opinion of good/bad driving. How can we expect passive drivers to predict
the wants or intentions of others?

i am replying to the letter that was sent to dr.driving on the difference
between assertive, passive and aggressive driving. if we go by what his
categories state, then of course the assertive driver is the best one and
the others are dangerous.
i have a problem with his definition of passive drivers though.
just because someone is driving slow does not mean that they are unaware
of the drivers around them and are not participating in the driving. i
don't care wether you are driving fast or slow if you are not paying
attention you are dangerous.
wiht his definition i think passive is as dangerous as aggressive
and they would need to be watched out for on the road.

I definitely agree with Okoji. That was a great answer! I do the same
thing but sometimes I wave the person on. Now I can just leave a space in
front of me and not worry about liability. I think the man should here
about this and this will give him an alternative to feeling good about
himself as he's being kind to others.
I also agree that starting a QDC would be very helpful since his anger
seems a bit out of control. I do also sympathisize with him since it can
be fustrating when you're being kind but you're really in the wrong
(waving people on). I would also suggest alternative ways of being kind to
other drivers (QDC discussion).

Mr. Murray, I don't have the info you're looking for. It's an excellent
project. and I hope you get the data. I'll be happy to post it on
DrDriving so others can participate in the debate.
You said you don't favor passing on the right lane in a multi-lane
situation. To tell you the truth, I think it would be an unnecessary
hardship to punish drivers for passing on the right when the road is free
and the car in the left lane is going slower than you, thus making it
impossible for you to pass on the left.
Plus: it seems natural and safe. Whereas changing lanes, going behind the
car in the left lane, having that car move over to the right so you can
pass--all that involves extra maneuvering, thus creating some risk.
Even if you can show arguments that it's safer not to allow right hand
passing, it doesn't mean such a rule is actually safer in practice, given
that it's a hardship and stressful to forbid right hand passing when it's
perfectly safe to do so.
Well, this ought to get you going...I'd be happy to post your answer to my
opinion.
Take care and drive Aloha!

Subject: Re: Five-Five
I found this man's letter about citizen activism a little amusing. I
know that sounds terrible, but his approach borders on the ridiculous.
Like Dr.James said, the public should not act as vigilantes and enforce
the law. The writer's attitude that the public should make social
reprimands like hand signaling "five-five,"or pointing out the fact that
we can report them for speeding, is a dangerous practice. He himself
stated that the results are not pleasant. I don't think that he should be
advising people to follow his lead. Many impressionable people may suffer
the consequences.
However after reading about CASAD, I was impressed with their approach
on the matter of dangerous driving (i.e. road rage)...
Our goals:
To create EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGNS about the very human toll of speeding and
aggressive
driving.
To demand strong TRAFFIC LAW ENFORCEMENT.
To strengthen COURT ENFORCEMENT OF TRAFFIC FINES and penalties.
To support TRANSPORTATION PLANNING that makes public safety the first
priority.
To encourage experimentation with TRAFFIC CALMING techniques.
To offer ASSISTANCE TO VICTIMS of car crashes and their families, many of
whom currently
face the horrifying aftermath alone.

I agree with this guy when he says that road rage is one of the social
problems we have in society today and I also agree with him when he says
that if we want to make a difference on the road we have to do it in a
safe and effective manner. What I don't agree with is his definition of
safe and effective. I don't think telling another driver to slow down and
then flash them the speed limit is going to help things. I also don't
think it'll help matters if you indicate to someone that you are writing
their license plate number down. Who know you make cross some really out

There have been many times when I hanve been involved in such a
situation. Either the person letting the car in, the car being let in, or
the idiot who tries to go around and slams on there brakes to avoid
hitting the car coming into traffic.
As for what can be done to signal other drivers I do not know. I
do know however that involved in getting your license, you learn (at least
in drivers education in Hawaii and in the Hawaii state driver's manual)a
very short very brief lesson in which if you see a car slow sown in
traffic and you are in the other lane, you should take heed and slow down
yourself as you do not know why the other driver is slowing. When you are
in a posotion to see why you may react accordingly. To some this may be
annoying but it is called defensive driving (ever heard of it?). Ever
wonder what the leading couse for pedestrian fatalities is?????

Thanks for your quick response!
I suppose my main observation is this. In states where this law is
enacted and where I have driven, the traffic patterns are much more
predictable. I know, as do the other drivers, where I am expected to be
when passing. The movement and intention is clear. When a driver is
allowed to pass on the right all rules and patterns are lost. There is
an addition to the chaos. Here in Michigan chaos reigns. In upstate
New York (and even downstate) the patterns are predictable. Most folks
know to stay out of the left lane unless passing or traveling faster
than those in the right. It simply reduces the chaos.
Thanks again!

I don't see anything wrong with passing on the right. If someone is going
slow in the left lane and you want to get around them, I think it's
perfectly fine to pass them. I didn't know that it was illegal to pass on
the right in certain states. I guess because it's not illegal here I

Subject: Re: Passing on the right
Mr. Murray, I agree about your observations. You're focusing on the
predictability. That's rational and good. However, it's not enough
because it's one sided and it doesn't grasp the problem, hence the
solution.
In my view the right and effective solution will balance the two problems:
1) chaos and unpredictablity if you allow right hand passing (I think
this may be an exaggeration--but here's where you --we -- need data,
actual data, you can help gather!!)
2)the emotional stress on many drivers if you don't allow right hand
passing while you allow (or don't enforce) cars that cruise in the left
lane making it impossible for you to pass.
You have conistently ignored the second problem, despite my attempts to
encourage you to address it. You are content in focusing on problem 1
alone. Fine. But then you are giving up, I feel, the possibility of
contributing or finding an effective solution, one that builds community
(through cultural training methods--as I have outlined) vs. one that
disrupts and separates (through law enforcement and surveillance methods).
Take care and drive Aloha!

I would have to agree with the authors three types of drivers, but
I feel that a fourth category should be added between Passive and
assertive. THere should also be the active driver. Unlike the passive
driver, this driver is aware of what is going on but not getting involved
to the degree in which an assertive driver does. This driver is aware of

To answer this person question on what to do so they know not to pass - I
feel that communicating to the other driver not to pass would be
difficult. We drivers know how to tell another driver to pass, but we
don't have a sign to tell them not to pass. Maybe this person can put
his hazard lights on. The other driver in the back of him might
respond and stop and if he wanted to pass he might do it cautiously. But
this is a tough one to answer!

Subject: Re: Passing on the right
I don't see anything wrong with passing on the right - I must've done that
numerous times if the car in front of me is going slow. I don't think it's
a traffic offense here in Hawaii to pass on the right. If they made it a
law here in Hawaii against passing on the right, I would be against it
because it's ridiculous. Our highways here are not as wide as all the
other states so passing a law against passing on the right would be out of
the question! Thanks

Subject: Re: car accident prevention
I thought the writer presented some interesting ideas. But I'm not really
sure that things like light intensity and sounds affect driving behavior.
I guess the only way we'll know for sure is if we study it. Studies and
the types of programs the writer wants started take a lot of time, but he
can start a quality driving circle now. A QDC can help the writer and his
participants improve as drivers. Then those improved drivers can educate
others and spread the word about the benefits of QDC's.

Subject: Re: Passing Idiots (fwd)
I agree with what everyone has said so far. I especially thought Lori
presented a good solution for the driver. I think that the driver needs to
take into consideration how many cars are behind him when he wants to let
a car out. When there is a long line of cars, it is understandable that
the drivers will start to wonder why the car ahead is stopped and holding
up the line. They may even think that the person's car has stalled. So, I
think it would be safer for this driver, the driver of the car he wants to
let out and the drivers in line behind him, if he did not let the car out
when a long line of cars is behind him.

This person was probably doing the best thing. It was very courteoud of
him to let the other person fit through him, but like what some of you
said, leave enough room in front of you so that particular car who wants
to fit in can fit in safely. True, it is a very dangerous situation, but
if you have the heart to let someone in, don't yell at the idiot driver
who's passing you. First of all, see if the coast is clear. Make a hand
motion to other drivers what your intension is for stopping. Like what
Susan mentioned, you're suppose to have some idea why a driver slows
down. Other than that, the write is doing something good, but he has to
think of the consequences also.

Like Dayle and Natalie, I didn't know passing on the right was illegal in

it's a bad idea. If someone is going slower than needed, and you're in
the back of them, go around them when it's safe. That driver should be on
the right in the first place. I'm glad it's legal in Hawaii because if it
wasn't I'd have so many tickets by now.

I think that in Hawaii people do not follow the same 'rules' as in upstate
New York or any other place in the mainland. People in Hawaii stay in the
left lane even though they are going speed limit or even if they don't
want to pass another vehicle. However, I think that it would be better if
people learned to stay on the right side lane if they are going slow or
whatever because it's more predictable and safer for everybody. I think
that people in Hawaii will probably not do it though.

Subject: passing on the right
After reading about all of Dr.James' correspondence with the writer, I
have to agree with Dr.James' opinion. I don't think that there is
anything wrong with passing on the right, especially if it is safe to do
so. The emphasis should be on safety and on the purpose of freeway
driving, which is to keep moving. If someone wants to drive
slow in the left lane, they may cause back-up that can lead to bumper to
bumper traffic. Thus we should encourage slow drivers to keep to the
right.
There should be training on collective driving, so slow drivers are
more aware of the importance of free flowing traffic. Likewise fast
drivers should be aware that slow drivers have a right not to speed, and
it is wrong to try to force them to do so.

Subject: Re:Passing Idiots
I agree with what Beatrice had to say, in that although he is
trying to be polite in letting people cut in, it might not always be the
safest thing to do. I think that it just depends on the situation when to
let people in. For example if the driver is in stop dead traffic and
inching along, then you can let a person in. But if there obviously
moving traffic you should just stick to your own lane and know that the
other driver trying to get in will find a space eventually. My sister
does the same thing as the writer. She will stop for anyone thinking that
she is being polite but in actuality we have almost gotten into a number
of accidents because of this. The people in back are only aware of what's
going on in front of them. If there is no reason for you to stop they are
going to keep on driving. Thus maybe the safest way would be to do what
your expected and to drive at a normal rate. If anything you could slow
down so that if the guy want's to get into your lane can decide if he or
she wants to.

Subject: Re: Five-Five
Well I read what this man said in his message and also visited the CASAD
site. I agree with Lisa that while the man is concentrating on getting
people's license plate numbers down, he is taking his attention away from
his driving. One of these times he may cause an accident because he was
looking at license plates instead of the road. I also agree with Lori and
Dayle that this man could encounter dangerous situations with his hand
signaling and showing people he is writing down their license plate. I
think his actions would just make the other drivers angry and he could
incite a road rage incident. I think the CASAD organization has a better
plan than this man in dealing with road rage. I hope that in addition to
encouraging experimentation with calming techniques they will emphasize
educating people about traffic psychology.

I think this man has a point. Everyone must obey road signs, so that we
can all drive in harmony. Stories that were portrayed in the website Dr.
James provided is one of the reasons why we should obey road signs such as
the speed limit. So, I'm in favor of citizen activism. Everyone should
support the idea that road rage is a social problem. We must follow road
signs for the sake of the safety of our children. I agree with this man on
taking action against these aggressive drivers by reporting their license
plates to the police. If more and more people follow road signs, everyone
else will conform to this behavior also.

I agree with all of you that I don't see any problems on passing
on the right. It seems that more problems will occur if passing on the
right is illegal. Also, how do we draw a line between passing and
changing lane. If I were in a state where passing on the right is
illegal, I would change lane and then drive a short distance before I
cut back to the left lane. Who can tell I want to pass the slow car
intentionally?

I can understand that he is concerned and wants to do something about it. But

Yes, I agree with her about letting people go. I think that it can be
very dangerous because you feel grateful that somebody is letting you go
and so feel in a rush to move it so you don't let that person who let you
go wait for a long time. However, because of this it can become
potentially dangerous for you and for others. I myself have felt this
way many times when someone has let you go. I feel pressured into not
letting him/her wait for you because I feel so grateful that the driver
let you go in the first place. What to do? I too wouldn't want to be in
Dr. Driving's shoes. It's tough.

Subject: Re: Five-Five
I can uderstand how this man feels, I lived in oregon for a few years and
people do speed. On the other hand almost everyone speeds. It is normal
for people to go 75-80 in a 65mph stretch of road. I agree that something
should be done about this but I fell that he is going about it in the
wrong way. What he's doing is dangerous. He is endangering himself as
well as the other driver. While I was in oregon I learned to never
confront another driver no matter how upset I was. In this day and age
you never know if the other driver has a gun or will try to run you off
the road. He also risks causing or getting into an accident. While he's
signaling the other dirver he can't be paying much attention to the road
and in the mean time he is distracting the other driver.
I also feel that if he thinks what he's doing is going to make the other
drivers slow down I feel he's mistaken.
Just my opinion

In this case I don't think there is ay thing that she can do. Perhaps
those waiting behind her are simply impatient. They may pass her
reguardless if she's letting someone in or turning. There are some things
that just cant't be helped.
She is doing something commendable by letting the other person merge into
her lane. If the people behind can't wait then they choose to go around.
I wouldn't worry to much about impatient people.

Subject: Re: Passing on the right (fwd)
I agree with this man in regards to wanting to make a difference in road
rage in his state. But it is true and I am not too sure if there really is
anything wrong with passing on the right. But Dr. James suggested cultural
training methods instead of (or I suppose in addition to) survellence
methods. But what specific cultural training methods?
I do not entirely disaggree with the five-five method because after doing
a reprot on driver communication, I feel that gestures done appropriately
can make a difference. It also empowers the driver and makes other drivers
aware of mistakes they are doing. If the five-five method could become a
well-established means of making drivers aware of their speeding, then the
five-five method could be a great gesture.

Subject: interview?
Hello Everyone,
1. Do you feel that road rage in Hawai`i is becoming a problem?
why or why not? Yes, I feel it is a problem. It is a problem because road
rage is not prejudice as far as where it should be based. Anger is everywhere
and because of that road rage will be everywhere. Road rage is a societal
problem.
2. What do you think is the best solution to road rage?
I feel education on how to control anger is probably the best way. I honestly
don't see it ever going away. I would hope it would decrease with education,
but how in the world are we going to educate every driver out there? That is
a challenge in itself. But, I do think that the only place to start is in the
beginning and one at time is how it should be and pretty soon it will be more
and then more.

Subject: Re: interview?
1) I do believe that road rage in Hawaii is becoming a problem. Teenagers
nowadays are getting cars. They even fix 'um up and put some sounds.
Sometimes I wonder how the heck do they get their money for such a nice
car. You see stripes running down their newly painted cars, calling
themselves "racers". I think driving got worse after they built that new
place at Campbell Industrial Park. Now people are calling out each other
on the roads and that's the problem. I agree with Beatrice in that
everyone has anger within them therefore road rage will exist.
2) I say more education also. Eric mentioned that in California, they
need to take two special classes before someone could take their
permit/lisence. Here in Hawaii, you don't need to take drivers ed. That
should be a requirement the future drivers should consider having. In
that class you can add in some anger management stuff. Or

I think that road rage is not becoming a problem, i think that it
already has been a problem already but there was no name to it. I think
the best solution is education and implementation of a problem solving
solution for not only the drivers on the road already but for our children
who will one day become our future drivers. Education I think is the key
to most anything because it can help people rethink what they are thinking
already and also help others in other ways.

Road rage is a problem everywhere because it is a cultural norm, like
wearing a tie at formal functions, or like getting angry at someone who
deliberately damages your house or car. Actual driver's ed starts in
infancy when we are passengers and imbibe the emotions and attitudes of
our parents who are doing the driving. Also, we watch TV every day and we
see scenes of drivers behaving badly. We imbibe risky driving, violent
driving, intolerant driving, impatient driving, foolish driving, careless
driving in thousands of scenes, and this lowers our own
inhibitions for aggressiveness behind the wheel.
> 2. What do you think is the best solution to road rage?
Since road rage and aggressive driving are cultural norms, we need to use
cultural methods to reverse it or eliminate it, and to substitute for it a
more positive driving style, attitude, and philosophy. I proposed two
methods for achieving this cultural change in one generation (about 35
years). First, driver's ed starting in Kindergarten (not just safety ed).
Second, Quality Driving Circles or QDCs after one gets a driver's license.
These are small groups of drivers (6 to 10) meeting regularly on their own
and encouraging each other to strive for lifelong driver improvement. Each
QDC would follow a program of activities I outlined and called "Driving
Psychology" that includes keeping a Driving Log, carrying a tape recorder
in the car, observing yourself behind the wheel and reasoning with
yourself, and other such methods that I call "emotional intelligence
skills" (see my Web site at drdriving.org).
Take care and drive Aloha!

Hi G9, as I said in class, it's time for you to start thinking about your
article for the Driver Alert Issue 2 (your report2.html). Here are some
topics I recommend:
1) Graduated Licensing (be sure to add Rothe's perspective)
2) Gender differences among drivers (be sure you review the generational
curriculum reports on this subject)
3) Road Rage Surveys (what kind there are on the Web and what they
measure, and whetehr they're equivalent and what the results are)
4) The Future of the Automobile (this is done by Dr. Kirby's team at the
Univ. of Washington)
5) QDCs --what they are and what problems you can expect in running one
(be sure you include the generational reports on this)
6) Car phones (safety, legislation, attitudes, training) and other in-car
devices
7) Driver education (what's happening around the nation about it) and
Driving Schools
8) Newsgroups for Drivers (explain what they are, how to use them, how you
used them, and link to your report for more info)
9) Traffic Psychology at the UH (describe the program, its content, and a
review of student reports)
10) Driving Personality Makeovers (how they work, why they're useful, how
to plane one--and link to generational reprts)
11) anything else you care to propose to me by email.

Subject: RE: car accident prevention (fwd)
Hello! I am glad that I am not the only one who doesn't understand what
this man is saying. Does he mean if we want to increase our quality of
life, we have to deal with some risks are involved? Or does he mean
because the risks are involved, we need to prepare for it? If he means we
need to prepare for the risks while we are on the road, car accident
prevention program is a good idea. In our society, many people including
myself, are not perfect drivers. Probably none of us are... If that's
the case, we need to improve our driving skills and also level of
cognition. How we think reflects how we drive. I think that we all
should learn how to drive and think. I guess taking this class works for
us, G9.

Subject: Re: Interview
The answer to the first question is yes, I think road rage is definitely a
problem here. I think road rage is present because there are so many more
people driving on the road and for some reason people seem to be more
stressed and in a rush.
Honestly the only thing I can think of of imposing stiffer laws when it
comes to crimes involving road rage, thei might serve as a deterrent.

Subject: interview
I think the one of the important components of the answer to whether or
not road rage is a problem in Hawaii is statistics of accidents/ crashes
and emotional stress during driving related to road rage. I feel that the
more cars on the highway resulting in more traffic, increases the levels
of agression and impatience. By the time people get out of traffic and
feel that they have wasted so much time, they are angry and intolerant of
others' mistakes and are more likely to tailgate, speed, and take risky
actions. This affects all people, including cyclists, pedestions, etc.
Also, people will retalliate, as seen in other cities where people pull
out guns and shoot one another during heavy traffic. I do agree with
Kristin that road rage is probably not as bad as it is in other cities,
but we also do not want to let it get to that point. It is importatn to
recognize the problem of road rage in Hawaii, as to cut the cost of
crashes, accidents, and emotional distress of highway users.
What is the solution of road rage?
I agree with Dr. James that traffic education begginning in Kindergarten
is needed although I don't think it is a solution for the immediate
solution. It must first be recognized by top officials who can allocate
the money for such programs, or have volunteer groups contribute to this
eduation. Imagine beginning a volunteer group (similar to MADD) made up
of traffic psychology researchers and activists. They could volunteer
their time and effort in kindergarten classes and radio announcements etc.
I also agree that QDCs would be effective in dealing with road rage. Maybe
QDCs would be more of an immediate solution.

Hi guys,
In response to the email
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From Dr. James I feel that yes road rage is alive
in hawaii but I don't thinkg that the problem is as bad as it is in other
places. I'm not to afraid of people pulling guns but I am afraid of
people following me. In other places people don't even look at other
drivers for fear of getting hurt.
How we could solve the problem is education. That is the only solution
that I can think of.

Subject: Re: interview?
1. Do you feel that road rage in Hawai`i is becoming a problem?
why or why not?
Yes, I do. Hawaii may be a small state, but it has become a very
popular place to live and to visit. This result has led to a steadily
increasing amount of cars on the road. The likelihood of road rage
increases with so many drivers on the road. Road rage is not specific to
any state or any gender, it is everywhere. We would be naive to think
that Hawaii is excluded in this.
2. What do you think is the best solution to road rage?
As we talked about in class, I think the best solution would be to
properly train new drivers to be "good drivers." Furthermore all drivers
should be made more aware of the dangers of road rage. The very
successful anti-drug campaign may be a useful model for combating road
rage. This campaign has utilized the media, which is one of the best
sources of social influence (Remember those vivid commercials "this is
your brain on drugs"). In addition repeat traffic offenders could be
forced to take driving classes (i.e. road rage or anger management), as
well as a fine.
One awesome solution that has passed Hawaii by, was the proposal for
mass transit. It was the perfect solution to lessening the amount of
cars on the road. I know of many long distance commuters who would have
gladly used mass transit, than their very own precious cars. I thought
the state was trying to get people to use alternative methods of
getting around (i.e. carpooling, catching the bus). I guess they didn't
think mass transit was the way to go, even though federal funds
was going to pay for it- which probably happens once in a blue moon.
Anyway, I'm sorry if I sound a little bitter. I thought it was a good
idea.

Subject: Re: Passing Idiots (fwd)
Hi! I have encountered this kind of situation sometimes. I was both a
kind driver who tried to let others in in front of me and also passing
idiot who passes those kind drivers. I think it depends on the
situations. However, I often experience "good for nothing situations." I
try to be nice to some drivers but it won't work. It burthersome for
other drivers. I feel emberrased afterwords. I understand this writer's
frustration, but I guess we sometimes creat dangerous situations for being
nice. I go slow, like Lori says, sometime, so if there is a chance, the
driver can pass through in front of me or stay in front of me. I think
that is a good idea!

Hi!
Why passing on the right is against the law in some state? I think it is
because passing on the right is dangerous in the situation that other car
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From right lane is aiming for same lane and passing on the left. I
sometimes come across this kind of situation and feel scared to know the
car was coming
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From my left. ( meaning this driver is passing on the
right) I guess like Christin says ( was that you?) it's o.k. when the
road is clear. Like this writer, if they want to pass the law that
passing on the right is illegal, we will all be frustrated when the driver
goes so slow in the left lane and we can't pass this guy. I think that it
is a matter of moral thing. Not the law. Slow drivers...drive right lane.
Pass on the ritht ....if the road is clear.

This is in response to the two questions
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From Dr. James' interview. First
of all, I do think road rage is a problem in Hawaii. It may not be as
pronounced as it is on the mainland and we may not have as many reported
incidents, but it is here. For instance, a friend of mine was sitting at a
stop light and saw a man get out of his car and head to the car in front
of him. He then started punching the driver of that car through the open
window. The driver was caught by surprise and couldn't do much to defend
himself. I think the best solution to road rage is educating people about
traffic psychology. Education is needed so people can understand their
behavior and then be able to change it.

I don't see anything wrong with passing on the right, especially if it
is done safely. I think there would be more of a problem if
traffic was backlogged because of some slow driver on the left side. I
understand why some states would implement this law, but than shouldn't
they also ticket people for driving too slow in the left lane?
I'm surprised that I had never heard of this concept before this class.
I was further taken aback by the fact that this New Hampshire reporter had
not heard of it too. New Hampshire is not as isolated as Hawaii is. I
guess that the reason is because there are still problems with this issue,
or it would be common in most states.

we are trying to work together as a team. If someone is in the left
lane and you want to go faster, why not pass on the right. It is a lane
for driving, so drive in it. Sometimes I am going fast and am bypassing
many cars. Then there is a car that comes up behind me and say we come
to a windy road where I feel uncomfortable driving faster. I would
appreciate him passing me on the right. Is isn't hard. I guess I
should switch lanes, but maybe he is going too fast and doesn't want to
slow. Be my guest. No problem, no accident.
Teresa

Subject: car accident prevention
Well I read this message over and over trying to figure exactly what
this person was saying, but I couldn't quite make the connection to his
way of thinking. What I think he is saying is that accident prevention
should become a way of life, sort of like a religion or something. I
agree that it is a very important aspect of the quality of life, because
staying alive is the most basic part of having a good life. I wouldn't go
as far as this person is going with it though. I think it would take a
major change in the entire populations way of thinking in order to make
driving such a religious thing. I agree that it could happen, however,
and hopefully it will. In the meantime I'll watch what I'm doing.

Hello!
I agree with most of you who said what he is doing destructs his driving
and also other people's driving. Again he has a good intention but not
behaving correctly. I think that it is a police officers' job to force
people follow the law. If they don't have enough people, they should hire
traffic patrol men or women who are trained. Or they can even place
videos like Hawaii but not for the traffice information but to let people
behave according to the law. I sometimes feel sad that those who have
high morality don't have power to bring about social changes.

It seems as if the driver is really concerned about the safety of people
on the roads. But, in actuality, doing such things to deter bad driving
can be very dangerous. What he is doing can be very irritating to other
drivers. I know I would getvery annoyed if someone were waving pencil and
paper at me. It probably would decrease dangerous or risky driving, but
using this type of actions on the wrong person could be detrimental.

Sus, kinda long but informative :)
Hot pursuits are one of the most dangerous situations a police
officer can face. Not only is it a direct threat to the officer and
suspect, but also to the many innocent bystanders on and around the
roadways. This is why high speed pursuits are frowned upon by many police
departments (including the HPD)
Hawaii is unique. Think about it for a second. Where the hell do
you think you're going? This is an island. If your car can't float
then I suggest you think twice about ensuing a high speed encounter.
Officers are taught to use common sense. High speed pursuits on
Hawaii's roadways are just too risky. Police have better and more
effective ways of bringing a suspect into custody without endangering the
lives of all involved.
Pursuing a suspect will only cause him/her to drive faster, and
more reckless, increasing the danger level.
Common sense should tell an officer to pull back and pursue at a
safe distance until the suspect's car stops or can be contained in a safe
surrounding.
On another note...
Officers are not suppossed to shoot at a moving vehicle.
Unlike the movies, shooting a tire with a standard 9mm round will not
cause the car to blow up or stop. In fact, most current tires are designed
with rubber that actually closes up the hole upon impact, thus allowing
the person to continue driving for quite some time.
There are cases in which officers have shot at the driver of a
moving vehicle. For this to be justified, there must be several coinciding
factors. An Internal Investigation of the matter will judge whether such
an action was justifable under the circumstances.
In short, its YOU against road-trained cops, who have some darn
nifty advantages, like time, patience, infinite manpower, a police
helecopter, roadblocks, spike strips, and the good ol Pacific Ocean.
Drive safetly!
Hope this helps Susan. Email me back if ya got anymore interesting
questions *grin*

Hey people.
I agree with Ms. Ramos in both counts. I do agree that we should
incorporate driving skill within high school education. I agree that the
importance of this is rather necessary in Hawaii because the traffic and
population of drivers is growing rapidly. Thus, we need to address
eduating teen's to drive ethically and safely.

I don't think that road rage in Hawaii is that big of a problem. Of
course there are some aggressive drivers, but I feel that for the most
part, we are all pretty laid back.
For those individuals that do cause the road rage problems, I would
suggest something like driver's ed combined with anger management as a
form of punishment and education. I think that it would be a good idea
to fine them and educate them. I know that since I got a ticket and paid
big $$$ and went to traffic school to keep my insurance down, I am more
cautious about speeding.
See ya,

Subject: Re: interview?
1. Well, I do believe that road rage is becoming a problem in Hawaii. I
think the age group that's more involved with road rage are the teens here
in Hawaii. Many parents tend to buy their children/teens a car as
graduation presents or just basically to get around. Having a car is sort
of an empowerment for teens because they can come and go as they please!
Drinking and driving is a definite contributing factor to road rage. There
are many studies done and articles written on adolescents and drinking and
driving.
2. I feel the best solution is to educate these teens on improving
decision-making skills. If teens choose not to drink and drive, there
would be less road rage out there. So, decision-making skills should be
incorporated into the school curriculum.
Thanks!

Subject: Re: interview?
Hi!
1. Is road rage problem in Hawaii?
For sure it is. I witness road rage every day and feel bad about
it. Not only that. Sometimes I creat road rage....I think. In Hawaii,
there are a lot of tourists who are not familiar with the road. About a
week ago, there was a car stuck in the traffic. The driver looked like a
tourist
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From main land. He didn't know he couldn't turn left on that
corner at that time. People kept honking at him. I thought one driver
was enought, but about five drivers honked as they pass by this driver. I
felt " Give him a break! He propably just a tourist who doesn't know the
way." Why are we so narrow minded?
2. solution
I think getting licence is too easy in Hawaii. We should make it
harder, and at the same time, we should educate the drivers. They sure
have to have skills to drive, but their level of moraity and cognition
should also be asked and learned if necessary.

I Don't think road rage has gotten out of hand in Hawaii like in the other
states, but I have noticed a lot less Aloha. People don't really "thank
you" any more when you let them in. I know I've been doing it a lot less
thinking the car is far enough behind me, but it doesn't take too much
energy and we should just wave and say thank you.
As for what can be done about road rage in Hawaii deffinatley some sort of
training, but like I've already mentioned (and has Dr James) we just need
to remember where we are and how lucky we are to be here.

Subject: Re: interview?
Personally, I don't feel road rage is a serious problem in Hawaii. I
guess because we don't have a lot of crime like in the mainland. I never
hear of people shooting each other on the highways because someone cut
them off. I think because Hawaii is very small. Many people know each
other, or have similar acquaintances. It would be very difficult for
someone to get away with serious road rage offenses. It does happen, but
on a much smaller scale. I think by waving "thank you" or "chaka" helps a
lot too.
A solution to road rage is a very difficult issue. The only way i feel
road rage will be solved is by altering social and cultural norms.
Controlling of one's anger is a major problem. If people knew how to deal
with their anger appropriately then life would be much happier.

Lori's comments were very agreeable. Leaving space in front of your car
does allow for cars to cut in, and it is up to the driver to judge it for
themself. Personally, I do not leave space in front of my car. I
ususally speed up when someone else speeds up to get in front of me. I
know that this is a bad habit, but it's hard for me not to do.

I liked Dr.James' response to the driver. Controlling one's emotions is
very important, but easier said than done. It sounds like Dr.James is
suggesting a meeting similar to AA. This seems like a good idea, but I
not so sure people would be comfortable talking about their driving
behavior. To me it doesn't seem realistic. But, I'm sure it wouldn't do
harm.

years of driving so I can't imagine who and where this happens. As far as
passing on the right when the lane is clear I do not see a problem with
this at all. I talked about this issue extensivly in my newsgoups issue.

then it is okay to pass. I especially think it is okay with the situation
that Dr. James presented: only two lanes and the driver in the left is
going slow. Like someone, I think it was Fumiko, said, how can we be

Subject: Re: right hand passing
I don't think there's a problem with passing on the right. For example,
Kailua bound on the Pali. When you get to the bottom you need to be in
the left lane to go to Kaneohe. If you drive slow (say you have a really
old car) and stay in the right lane, it becomes very difficult to get back
into the left lane in order to make your turn. Even if you do make it
into to the left lane, your going to hold back traffic to some extent.
Once thing I don't like however is when the person is in the left lane and
driving slow but goes straight(to Kailua), if that were the case they
should have stayed in the right lane. Make sense?

Hi!
It can not be helped, I think. If the car in the left lane is going too
slow, we can't stay behind this car forever,right? We just have to make
sure that there is no car in the right lane so we won't get in accident.
Again we should educate those drivers who go so slow in the right lane.
They are inconsiderate drivers, aren't they?

Subject: First Internet Conference on Young and Novice Driver Issues
Dear Traffic Safety Village Subscriber,
We invite you to participate in the First Internet
Conference on Young and Novice Driver Issues, to be
held at the Traffic Safety Information Village web
site between March 8th and March 26th, 1999.
The Vehicle User Characteristics Committee of the
Transportation Research Board has identified young and
novice driver issues as a critical element
in road safety. The Committee has recommended an
Internet conference on this topic as the best method
of obtaining the information. A special conference Web
site has been set up at the Traffic Safety Village for
this purpose.
The conference offers the most rapid avenue for
presenting your work on this important topic.
Following the conference, papers will be published
in a special Transportation Research Board Circular.
The "New to the Road" Symposium held in 1996 at the
University of California at Los Angeles identified
several key gaps in our knowledge about the behaviour
of young/novice drivers and driver education. Topics
of particular interest include:
* new approaches to novice driver education
* new approaches to driver testing
* an update on the effectiveness of graduated
licensing initiatives worldwide
* young driver mobility needs
* risk-taking behaviours by young drivers
* role of age-related and experience-related
factors in collision involvement
An Internet conference on young and novice driver
issues is the most cost-effective method of obtaining
the information necessary to address these knowledge
gaps. The Internet Conference will provide ample
opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with your
colleagues. For additional details please visit our
web site at http://noviceforum.drivers.com .

Subject: Re: Illegal to chase cars (fwd)
I really liked what the forwarded message had to say. I can see how high
speed chases can be dangerous to the bystanders and other cars. On a
small island like this, you're bound to get caught. I think its better to
keep everyone safe instead of speeding and killing innocent people..its
not worth it.

Subject: illegal to chase cars
i found it interesting theresa's message that police are not allowed to
chase cars. this seems wrong to me. i don't think they should chase
someone if the situation is too dangerous. but i don't think it should be
illegal to chase someone. this would lead to criminals just running from
the police all the time.

Subject: Illegal to chase cars follow up
Well, I brought your questions to my brother who is currently at the
Honolulu Police Academy. He said that HPD will chase cars, but only for
a certain amount of distance. If it goes too far or seems like it will
get out of hand they will give up so as not to endanger others in the
area. Instead HPD may try to call ahead and have another car meet up
with the driver.
My brother said that there was a case where an individual stole a van.
He was being pusued by HPD and hit a pedestrian at a bus stop,
decapitating the pedestrian. When they finally caught the guy, he was
so high on drugs that he didn't een know that he hit someone. In turn,
the family of the innocent victim that was killed sued HPD. He doesn't
know iwhat the outcome was.
This rule applies for the state of Hawaii (all islands), but varies
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From
state to state.
Hope this info helped a little. I think that it would have been
interesting if we could have had a guest speaker come in
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From HPD where
we could ask about their policies, rules, and our rights. These things
could have helped us in our papers and research.
IT IS ALL WINDING DOWN. GOOD LUCK ON ALL YOUR PROJECTS!!

Like Eric, I think it makes sense for the police to chase cars for a
certain amount of distance. Too many innocent people are getting hurt or
killed by car chases. If HPD didn't go that far in chasing the "high"
guy, they wouldn't have been sued because that life would still have been
normal. And yeah, it would be good to have someone talk to our class
about all these things so we could get a better sense of these situations
and so fourth. I guess that a guest speaker would be a great idea for the
future classes. Thanks again Theresa for the news.

this is in reply to the interview questions asked by Dr. James.
1. no i don't think that road rage is a problem at all in hawaii. i don't
see it very much at all, if at all. i come
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From california where people
are driving aggressive and there is real road rage at times, so this might
be why i don't see any road rage here. I think that the island life is
much slower so i don't think there is much road rage.
2. i think maybe the best way would be to educate people about road rage.
people don't respond real well to challenges or new regulations on how
they should act. but i think if people are educated or see how road rage
effects the road they will maybe think about it, and try to prevent it.
it is hard though because road rage is done in an emotional state, not one
when someone is thinking rationally.

One thing that really bothers me is that police drive aggressive all the
time. This morning on the way to work, a cop in an unmarked police car
tailgated, cut off and drove on the shoulder... everything you can
think of, he did. He was in plain clothes and ended up going to his
precinct.
I see cops on TV all the time preaching about the rights and wrongs of
driving aggressively but they are the main ones I see breaking the rules
WHEN THEY ARE NOT IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS.

Although I haven't seen police officers driving as badly as this writer

However it usually isn't in such an aggressive manner. I don't think that

lifestyle in larger states and cities are much more rushed and impersonal.

When I'm sitting in traffic, I often see the police (the ones with
motorcycles) driving in the shoulder lane with their blue lights flashing.
So I assume there must be an accident couple of miles down, but I find out
there's no accident. I feel that they're taking advantage of their badges,
meaning just because they're the police they can do whatever they want.
I live close to a police station and the speed limit there is 25, but I
see cops driving at 40! So, I agree with the writer!

I agree with the writer that officers do drivie aggressively when not in

of officers do this. I think it would be unfair to say this of all

I have seen the police here drive aggressively, but not to the same
extent as the message writer. Mostly, I see police officers speeding. The
speed limit is 25 mph in the residential area where I live and the
officers who do their regular patrols up here are usually going 40 to 50
mph. They especially like to speed during their late night/early morning
patrols and this concerns me. If a person or animal were in the road, I
doubt they would see them and be able to stop in time. But, I have also
seen cops who follow the rules and drive with aloha.

I think that some police here do drive aggressively. Like what most of
you mentioned, they at times take advantage of their blue lights just so
that they can get through traffic or pass the red light. I've seen it
here in Hawaii a few times and I can't stand that they make people get out
of the way even if there were no emergencies. I also see police speeding.
I would think they're chasing someone, so I'd slow down for them to get
pass me, but in the end I find that they're not after anyone. By the
way, isn't he suppose to be in his uniform when he drives the car even if
he's not on duty? Anyways, I think it was wrong for the police who
tailgated,sped, and drove on the shoulder. He should know better than to
break the rules!

their privelages", but as with all aggressive drivers I try to give them
the benefit of the doubt. Say they get a call and they do through the red
light, as their making the turn they get another call saying they don't
need back up. yeah ok it probably doesn't happen all the time, but when
it comes down to it we don't know. I think that as long as they don't
endager anyone, they deserve a little break.

I agree with what the person said about cops being guilty of aggressive
driving. Not all cops all aggressive drivers but I think a lot of them
are. They are the law but think they are above the law. I don't know
what can be done about this problem because it's not like cops are going
to ticket their fellow cops.

Subject: Re: Aggressive Drivers (fwd)
Hi G9,
I've seen many times that the cops only turn on their light when
they pass the red traffic lights. Many of then who drive motorcycles like
to drive on the shoulder of the freeway. They do that without turning the
light on. One time I almost hit on the motorcycle since I didn't realize
that he is next to me and the shoulder is very narrow.
I agree that some police officers are aggressive drivers. I think
that they use to drive fast even they are not on duty.

I agree with this man and yes I think it's a problem here in hawaii. I
see police men and women breaking the traffic laws all the time. Many
times I want to report them but I feel that nothing will be done. I just
recently saw a show on television about how police officers stick
together. It seems that they stand by one another even if it's wrong. I
guess my feeling is what can I do about it? Any suggestions?

Hi G9:
I haven't really noticed police cars driving aggressively. I don't
doubt that they take advantage of their blue lights and sirens. By this
I mean using them to get out of traffic or because they are really
hungry etc. But, I really don't care what they do in that sense, unless
they are being very reckless. They are intimidating enough by just
being there.
See ya,

It makes sense that HPD may try to call ahead and have another car
meet up with the driver. Instead of chasing the driver, the police
officers can block the driver. It decreases the level of danger and
probability of hurting victims.
Thanks for everyone's informative response!

I find that many officers do drive aggressively. My father is a retired
cop, but he was a good driver. But my dad told me a story of how he was
running late for work when he was in the department, and he followed an
ambulance through the traffic so he'd make it on time.
I always see officers breaking the law, and I assume they are speeding for
a purpose. I think they are just taking advantage of their privileges of
being a police officer.

Although this class has a lot of works, it gives me feeling

It is the most interesting writing intensive class I've taken so far. Not
like many other classes, this class don't have boring lecture. It doesn't
require traditional library research. Instead, we have active class
discussion and e-mail discussion. We do our research by surfing the web,
which is fun. I really enjoy this class and I'm glad to meet of of you.

To G10:
I have to say that this class was involves a lot of work.
However, if I can do it, I think anyone can. I suggest not putting things
off to the last minute and starting as early as possbile on each of your
projects. If you need help ask the other students in your class because
everyone is going through the same thing and everyone has something
different to add that can definitely benefit you. It helps to have some
previous computer experience but don't worry if you don't, just be patient
and don't let everything overwhelm you tackle each report one at a time.
Good luck to all of you!

Hey G9:
Well we did it. I can't believe that I made it. It was a lot of hard
work. I am a little uncomfortable with my reports becuase I know that
if I had more time, they would have been better. I must say that I have
learned a lot about driving and computers. I hope you have too.
G10: You poor people are probably just beginning the course. This class
has a lot of hard work that it requires. Just think that you are
already one step ahead of G9 becuase you have twice as long to do the
same amount of work.
Don't get discouraged if you don't know anything about web pages. It is
quite easy and fun if you learn the shortcuts like I did. Work together
and ask your neighbors. You don't need to use HTML code. I nearly had
a heart attack the first week when I attempted it.
Anyway have fun and work hard. I think you will be surprised at what
you can accomplish, I definitely was.

Subject: Re: graduated licensing
I think that it is a good idea. It may teach young drivers, who are
one of the highest groups of traffic fatalities, to take
driving more seriously. Drivers licenses should not be viewed as simply a
"stepping stone" in your social life (as the Rothe book mentions), it is
a great responsibility.
In addition new drivers would benefit by having more driving
experience. One part of graduated licensing is to have an
experienced licensed driver with you. A new driver can learn a lot from
someone with experience.

Subject: Re: graudated licensing
I think overall it sounds like a good idea. The different levels of
licenses will remind drivers that they can and should continue to improve
as drivers. Also, continuing to drive with a licensed driver would be
beneficial because the new driver can learn even more about being a good
driver and awareness on the road.

Dr. James,
I just wanted to let you know that I am completely done. I have no more
time to give becuase my job is no longer so understanding. I tried as
best I could while working 45 hours a week. I seem to have a problem
with my e-mail link. If I change the ID in preferences it works, but
others can't always do that.
Also, you link in your testimony for CASAD, Driving test, and the Module
link in your home page is down.
Thanks for everything. I learned a lot even though I was kicking and
screaming the entire way.
Drive safely d:+) Teresa Query

Hello G9, well this summer went by too fast. It was fun and a lot of hard
work. We all learned how NOT to procrastinate. I thought I did pretty well
for someone who didn't know anything about HTML. It took me awhile to
learn everyone's first name because Dr. James called mostly everyone by
their last name. Enjoy the last few weeks of the summer. As for me, I'm
graduating this coming Sunday. FINALLY!
Bye Bye!
Berna
To G10:
Well you're in for ride! At first it was pretty difficult to understand
HTML, but you'll get it. I've never worked so hard for a class. But
learning HTML will be a great asset -it'll look good on your resume:). The
topics on traffic psychology were pretty interesting, too. The number one
advice I'd like to give is DON'T PROCRASTINATE. Once you get an
assignment, start working on it! Have fun!

GOODBYE G9! Today's the last class and we're at the end of our session.
I really enjoyed all the discussions and don't forget stress we went
through...just kidding. I think I learned quite a lot about traffic
psychology. All these terms and techniques hopefully can improve the way
we drive. I want to say Congratulations to everyone for surviving it up
till now. Congrats to Eric and Berna who's graduating this Sunday and who
ever else and Best Wishes to Lisa who's getting married tomorrow. Have
fun and be safe the rest of the summer and Good Luck in what ever you do.
FOR G10: Don't be discouraged with all the work. It may be a heavy load
but it'll be worth it at the end when you're done with everything. Just
start all your reports as soon as you could because at times printers
don't work or the internet may be down. Do not procastinate. Go through
people's report if you have to or just ask people in your class for help
because there are others who's lost as you are. Participate in class and
e-mail discussions because it will let you understand what traffic
psychology is really about and you can improve on driving as well.

Yes! We survived! I think I could survive because I could share my

faces in the computer lab when I was so tired. I did get so much help
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From others, too. I really appreciate it! Thank you again. Since I am
graduating this summer, I won't see you anymore. But I won't forget this
class!
G10,
If you feel that you can't not handle this class, please read this
message! This class started in terrible situations for me. My computer
was down and I didn't know anything about html. I was taking three
classes this summer. But I survived. So you can do it, too. Learn from
previous generations and do it as soon as possible! Good luck!!!

say goodbye to the whole class of G9. I especially wanted to thank Irene
Barrineau for her encouragement in helping me stay in this class and
making it. Many times I felt like giving up in the beginning of the
class. And I almost did. It was so overwhelming at first because I had
NO computer experience at all. I felt stupid because it seemed that
everybody but me knew what was going on. The class G9 has also helped me
a lot because I found out that we were all in same boat together. That
really really helped. I also wanted to give some encouragement to the

quit and GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!

G9 Classmates,
This class has gone by so fast! It was a lot of work but we all managed.
Thanks for all the help and outrageous conversations in class. See you
around (maybe) and good luck in whatever you do!
G10
Don't worry to much about this class. Dr. James is funny man and once you
get to know him I'm sure you'll like him alot. It isn't difficult to do
well in his class but there is a lot of work. Just take it one step at a
time and try not to become too overwhelmed. The best advice I have to
offere is get to know the people in your class (incase you need help) and
whatever you do don't pocrastinate like I did. Good Luck.
Oh yeah, when you read reports

From generations before you don't be to
quick to judge them. Writing the reports is time consuming and can get
frustrating at times. When you begin writing your own reports you'll know

Welcome to the world of cyber-psychology. This is a challenging and
exiting field of psychology. The work is intense, but the knowledge you
will gain is worth the effort. My advice to you all would be to stay on
top of things. Slacking means stress and hardship at the end, and believe
me when I say this. I don't mean to scare anyone, but the work can pile
up on you if you're not careful. The main thing is to keep an open mind,
and a positive attitude. Most of all have fun. Oh, and make sure your
icons work. Icons were the most stubborn part of my homepage.

Hi G9, I am going to miss everyone, but I'm glad were all finally
finished. I have finished everything, but I still have to upload.
Well G10, you have a lot to learn this semester. In the beginning you
are going to have a little trouble if you are inexperienced with the web.
But, you will learn a lot! By the time the course is half way through you
will have gained much knowledge of computers and making webpages. Just
remember to keep up with the work, and participate in class discussions,
both through email and in class. Good Luck!

Well G9, this is it, we've all worked really hard but it's finally over.
I must say that his is one of the better classes I have taken in erms of
classmates working so hard on their own assignments yet so willing to help
each other out. I will miss you all dearly, and perhaps we will oneday
meet again.
As for G10, well what can I say. As you've probably heard, don't
procrastinate. This class can possibly be one of the best classes you
will take. It does seem like a lot of hard work, but as long as you keep
up with the assignments its actually not that difficult. There will be a
lot of frustration in the begginig, but hang in there and try not to drop
out. Like I sais it does get easier. When I first started I knew NOTHING
about computers and yet it amazes me to think of all the things I can do.
Hang in there and if you ever need anything...ASK!

(a) your computer background in terms of (1) any courses? (2) any work
experience? (3) any
familiar software? (4) any special skills like programming, games,
chatrooms? (5) any familiarity with
the Web?
I have never taken any computer courses, or had any work experience with
them. However I have used Windows 95, Microsoft Wordperfect to do
schoolwork. I have also used the Internet to pull information on various
topics.
(b) how you're doing so far with these exercises
I guess that I am doing alright, because I'm getting them done. Some of
the exercises take me a while when I don't get the instructions right.
It's a little frustrating when this happens, but I keep trying. I'm
using a "trial and error" process.
(c) some of your thoughts in doing these exercises
I think a lot of these exercises are productive. It is allowing me to
familiarize myself with computers, and to get over my fear of them. I
think the exercises will come in handy in the future.
(d) some of your feelings in doing these exercises
I get really frustrated when I don't get them right after trying so hard.
However I do feel a sense of accomplishment when I finally get them done.
I want to gain some competence on the computer because they are used
everywhere, especially in work settings.
(e) where you're having greater difficulty, and where you're having an
easy time.
I had the most difficulties in transferring information from one place to
another. For instance, there are several ways to cut/copy/paste, but they
can only be used in certain places. I think e-mail is pretty easy to use.

with the Web? I haven't taken any computer courses before. But since I
use comupter at home, I am familiar with some programs. I use micro soft
works for writing papers. I tried to use quicken because it was in my
file when I purchased my computer. But it took longer than I simply write
a note for my banking stuff. So I don't use it any more.
(b) how you're doing so far with these exercises It is really hard for me
now because my computer is down. My friend tried to upgrade my
computer to window 95, but my computer wasn't compatible for it. I am
calling a friend of mine to fix it as soon as possible. I stayed at the
internet cafe until 3:00 in the morning yesterday and spent $16.00. I
don't want to do that anymore.
(c) some of your thoughts in doing these exercises I am a big fan of the
movie called, "Net." The movie itself wasn't that great but I like Sandra
Bullock and the computers in the movie. I want to be an expert in this
field and these exercises will help me achieve that...hopefully.
(d) some of your feelings in doing these exercises I had the worst feeling
in the beginning because of my circumstances. But now things are getting
better. When I fix my computer, I will feel great and dream of future
Sandra Bullock in the future.
(e) where you're having greater difficulty, and where you're having an
easy time. Since I am taking three classes for summer 2, these exercises
are very difficult because it is time consuming. However, I have a few
friends that I can ask questions regarding computers, so it helping a
little.

I've taken a statistics course which requires you to use the SPSS which is
a statistical software program. I familiar with Word 6.0, Word 97, Eudora,
Netscape, FileMaker Pro. Part of my job description is to download

I'm doing pretty good with all my exercises.

There's a lot work and time involved in each exercise, but they're not

Sometimes it can be stressing, but once I got a hang out it- it wasn't too

(e) where you're having greater difficulty, and where you're having an

I think the most difficult part is understanding the textbook

for me. The exercises are not too bad, they're fairly easy - just a lot of
time involved!
Thank you for your time,

(a) your computer background in terms of (1) any courses? (2) any work
experience? (3) any
familiar software? (4) any special skills like programming, games,
chatrooms? (5) any familiarity

I learned to use SPSS and Microsoft Word in my SOCS225 class. That's the
only class I really learned to use the computer in. I use the computer at
work to do word processing but that's about it. I really don't have much
computer experience at all. I have no special skills but I have used the
web before to look up information.
(b) how you're doing so far with these exercises
I have definitely been struggling with my exercises. There was actually
only one that I knew how to do before hand.
(c) some of your thoughts in doing these exercises
Doing the exercises have been very helpful because I did not know how to
do them before. I didn't realize all the things I could do with my email

(d) some of your feelings in doing these exercises
Some of the exercises were difficult and it was frustrating. Some
exercises were easier to do than others but it still took me a while to
complete all the exercises.
(e) where you're having greater difficulty, and where you're
having an easy time.
I had a hard time with everything except for making the class list. That
was the only thing I had the slightest clue how to do. All the other
stuff is new to me and that's why it took me so long to finish the other
activities.

Currently I work for the Queens Medical Center Computer Help Desk.
My job is to assist the hospital computer users with trouble shooting.
When they have problems with the programs they call our office for
assistance. I know the basics of some programs but there's alot more I
should know. As for internet experience, I have searched the internet for
some information and played around with it but noting serious. I have
also participated in a few chat room discussions.
(b) how you're doing so far with these exercises
The exercises are time consuming but over all they seem to be
going well.
(c) some of your thoughts in doing these exercises
The exercises seem to be valuable because we are able to
incorporate them both inside and outside of class. Hopfully as we go
along there will be more valuable exercises. Computers are every where
and the more we can learn the better off we'll be in the long run.
(d) some of your feelings in doing these exercises
When I'm doing the exercises I feel tense at times. There are so
many little parts of the exercises that I worry about forgetting a part.
I still feel that it will help me in later exercises and jobs.
(e) where you're having greater difficulty, and where you're having an
easy time.
I'm having an easy time going through the exercises (following the
steps), but sometimes I don't quite understand what all the commands mean.
For example what the directory and the listings are for and when will we
use them. I am also unsure about how to read news or news groups in pine.

I don't have much computer experience. When I was at UH Hilo, I

simple.

I like doing the exercises but the ratings get a little repetitive.
(e) where you're having greater difficulty, and where you're having an

It's easy with directions in front of you, but practicing the

I have worked on computers before, but basically just for school. In other
words, I have always used my computer as a word processor and nothing else.
At work I have always used computers, but these institutions have always had
their own programs so I learn those and nothing else. At home I use
wordperfect or Primarily (i forgot the name of it)but it is the one used at
school. I rarely play games on the computer. Actually, I did a long time ago
a little, but not at all now. Honestly, I am your basic computer illiterate,
but I plan to change that. I have minimum experience on the web. It seems
like it always takes me longer than it should so I give up.
(b) how you're doing so far with these exercises
So far, it is hard to tell how I am doing. The first day was difficult, my
computer wasn't working and everything seemed to go wrong,but the second day,
things seemed to be looking better. I need help, but I will do o.k. I think.
(c) some of your thoughts in doing these exercises
I wonder if I am the only one that is going nuts. I can't believe how much I
didn't know about computers. I didn't realize how much I could actually make
the computer do for me. I know now that we are all in the same boat.
(d) some of your feelings in doing these exercises
I get frustrated when doing these exercises. I feel and know that once I know
what I am doing it will really help me out. But, right now it is just
stressing me out, but I am not giving up.
(e) where you're having greater difficulty, and where you're having an easy
time.
Well, right now I am having difficulty figuring out my address book on AOL, I
will find out today if things get through. If they don't I know that my
address book is messed up somehow. Well, I am not having an easy time with
anything yet, so this does not pertain to me.

really have any previous knowledge about programming, software etc. I only
used my computer to type my papers and print them out. I did howerver
search the web and would talk to my mom live using AOL's instant messages.
Now that I've taken 459 my knowledge has really expanded, but of course,
there is alot more to learn about the internet; especially because
technology it moving at such a rapid pace.
If you guys are having a hard time, don't worry. Last semester, we all had
a hard time at first. You'll get the hang of it, and when you're stuck and
you figure it out, you;ll be amazed at yourself. THen you'll really feel
like you have accomplished something.

(a) your computer background in terms of (1) any courses? (2) any work
experience? (3) any familiar software? (4) any special skills like
programming, games, chatrooms? (5) any familiarity with the Web?
Well, I haven't had any college computer courses. I do use a computer
at work, but only use the specific software I need (it's called Minitrac).
I have general familiarity with Wordperfect and Minitrac. I do not have
any special computer skills. I have used to Web to look up information.
(b) how you're doing so far with these exercises
At first the exercises were really confusing because I had never really
used Pine before. So, I struggled in the beginning. But I'm getting more
familiar with it now, so I am not having such a hard time.
(c) some of your thoughts in doing these exercises
I understand that these exercises are supposed to help us get more
familiar with how to do various things. I find the exercises useful since
I'm learning how to do things with Pine and uhunix. So, overall the
exercises are helpful to me.
(d) some of your feelings in doing these exercises
It was really frustrating in the beginning doing these exercises. I was
especially frustrated because I felt that Pine was not very user friendly.
I am not frustrated now while doing these exercises. But, I still think
Pine is not very user friendly.
(e) where you're having greater difficulty, and where you're
having an easy time.
I'm having greater difficulty in remembering what commands do what. But
I know continued practice will eventually solve this problem. I'm having
an easy time with reading and following the directions.

(e) where you're having greater difficulty, and where you're having an

A) I have some computer experience. I have taken an introductory
programming computer course, but I didn't find it very useful. Not to
mention I didn't do very well. I thought it was very confusing, but
struggled through it anyhow.
At work I am constantly on the computer, however we are not online.
Instead we are linked to all of our offices (Maui, Big Island, Kauai,
Waikiki, Halawa, Minn., San Fran., Las Vegas, etc.). I basically use
Word, Excel, and something we call AS400.
I only use the internet for e-mail. I just did a paper in the
spring semester and used it to get more information. I also discovered
that you can access all of the state library's magazine from your home
computer.
B) I think that I am doing well with these exercises. I am having a
hard time with some things that don't relate to my server, but am
trying.So far the exercises seem pretty simple.
C) I think some of the exercises are fun and useful. I feel like I am
missing out a little for not using UHUNIX though. I am curious to find
out about what lies ahead.
D) I like the exercises, especially because I am learning more about
computers. I just wish I had more time to thoroughly absorb all that I
am supposed to. I work over 40 hours/week and have to leave work to go
to class. I don't get home until after eight and have to go out to my
mom's office to use the computer.
E) If Dr. James' instructions are clear and pertain to my server as
well, I find the exercises simple. But, when there are vague
instructions and they don't pertain to hotmail I struggle then succeed
or give up.

-I started taking computer classes in high school. It was on
Information Processing and I forget. Then while I was at Leeward
Community College I took ICS 115-Microcomputedr Applications and ICS
130-Elementary Basics. Here at UH, I had Socs 225 last semester. It was
then where I got a chance to check out the web all over. I did work for the state one summer and I had to do some
spreadsheet and stuff. Other than that,I'm no computer whiz. I don't
know anything about programming games or chatrooms. In this class, almost
everything is new to me.
(b) how you're doing so far with these exercises
-I'm hannging in there. There's always a first for everything and then we
get used to it.
(c) some of your thoughts in doing these exercises
-It's a big help. I learn alot of things/programs, I didn't know was
available to us.
d) some of your feelings in doing these exercises
-I enjoy the exercises despite the frustration. When I'm done with it the
fact of getting the assignment done and with satisfaction is what counts.
(e) where you're having greater difficulty, and where you're having an

-It's hard only when I have to go back and refer to things because opening
so many windows at once to finish the exercise is time consuming.

(b) how you're doing so far with these exercises
I am having a somewhat hard time with these exercises because I'm not
exactly sure if I'm doing it right.
(c) some of your thoughts in doing these exercises
Some of my thoughts in doing these exercises are that it helps me
personally because of my limited ability of computer knowledge. I feel
that these exercises help me to get a better feel of the uses of the
computer.
(d) some of your feelings in doing these exercises
I feel kind of confused and sometimes frustrated with the computer. It
seems that everybody knows what they are doing and I don't.
(e) where you're having greater difficulty, and where you're having an

working of this computer and understanding the different functions of it.
I also am not sure if I'm doing the exercises right or wrong.

a) 1. Last semester I took SOCS 225 which is a statistics class required
for Psych majors. I learned to use SPSS which is a statistical program on
the web.
2. I don't have any computer experience as far as work is concerned
3. I'm sort of familiar with Pine from the statistics class
4. I'm familiar with the web to the extent of what we covered in the
statistics class. I do not narmally use the web outside of the classroom,
but I may start soon once I get a modem
b) At first I was a little confused about what to do, but I asked a lot of
questions and I am now a little more in tune with the classwork
c) I see that these skills are necessary in today's technological world so
I think that it's a lot of work, but it holds a lot of value as well
d) Well, at first I felt a little intimidated by all the tech stuff, but
now I feel that if I have a question, somebody will have the answer
e) I'm having the most difficulty keeping up with the pace of the class,
because I don't have access to a computer at home.

I have had no computer courses. I have worked with computers at a bank

My thoughts in doing these exercises is that it has been useful for me

(a) your computer background in terms of (1) any courses? (2) any work

I do not have any computer experience except from exploring it on
my own. I have not taken any school courses other than typing
classes in intermediate school. I have been only using the
internet for about 2 months. So the only thing I know about it is
from hands on experience. The only job I have had was cocktailing and it
doesn't require any computer knowledge. My computer is very user friendly
so I have used the games provided. Other then trying to figure out the
internet on my own, I have acess to a hotline service. They are available
24 hours a day and seven days a week. This makes things very easy for me.
They help me with not only technical difficulities but they help me to
figure programs out. I'm sure they hate me there because I'm always
bugging them. He He..
(b) how you're doing so far with these exercises
Im a little behind because I couln't get acess to my e-mail. It
was a little fustrating but everything seems to be falling into place.
(c) some of your thoughts in doing these exercises
I feel a little spoiled since Windows 95 is the only computer I
have used on my own. So tying in all the command instead of using the
mouse is kinda lame.
(d) some of your feelings in doing these exercises
Overall, Im glad Im learning all this now so that in the future
using the internet and e-mail will be second nature.
(e) where you're having greater difficulty, and where you're having an
easy time.
I'm actually having difficulty in learning the "computer jargon".
I still do not understand what the difference is between a file, folder,
attachment to folder/file. Where and what happens when exporting a file.
I kinda feel like Im running through the excerises blindly. I see the
directions as easy but dont know what I am really doing. Im still very
far behind and am playing catch up so I still have a lot to go through
before I can talk about what is "easy".
