Woman shot in road rage incident on I-465

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - Road rage is a problem police, counselors, and driving instructors are talking about. The latest example of it in Indianapolis was at 1 a.m. Thursday morning.

A man shot at a car driving in the southbound lanes of I-465 near 56th Street on the east side. A passenger inside the car was hit in the stomach.

"It's being reported by the driver of the vehicle that it was some sort of a road rage incident they were exchanging looks and talking back and forth as they were driving down south on I-465," said Sgt. Anthony Emery of Indiana State Police.

Police can only describe the gunman as a bald, white male driving a green Chevy Lumina.

22-year-old Alnetta King is in good condition at Methodist Hospital.

State police said they're seeing more drivers going into a rage on the road.

"They're so used to just flying into a rage; maybe they're angry most of the time and not even aware of their anger; and they're just before they're thinking about it reacting, doing something that is either threatening or actually physically violent," said Peter Wiethe of Community Health Network.

Even driving school instructors are talking with their students about road rage and how to avoid it.

"We remind them that when they sign for their license they agree to a lot of things that they're not aware of; that they agree to act responsibly in the automobile even though they may not have read that, they do agree to be responsible and be mature in their driving when they're in their automobile," said Don Gross of AA Indiana Driving School.

Here are some tips for avoiding road rage:

Don't tailgate.
Don't make inappropriate hand or facial gestures.
And avoid eye contact with aggressive drivers.

freakin' Hoosiers.

Take it back!

I'm just going to jump in now, but I think the important thing is that the rule should be symmetrical. Either we permit people to comment on it, both positively and negatively, or don't permit comments at all. As it is, it seems we will effectively permit positive price comments (ex, "great deal", "I wish you had that in my size", etc) but it appears we won't permit negative price commentary ("ripoff", "cheaper here", "try ebay"). Whatever the final rule is, it should be symmetrical.

Also, authenticity issues should always be fair game.

Why in God's name would he block you from entering the highway? Obviously the person has some major issues.

Jon.

I'm not directing this at j at all because he was dealing with an a-hole who was racing to block him off but some drivers don't know how to merge. These are the ones going the exact same steady speed as you even as their lane is disappearing. Unless you can phase shift we can't occupy the same space so speed up or slow down you

Slow drivers in the passing lane, I will pass and not give them the courtesy of a turn signal as I get in front of them.

Why?

Actually, from my observations and experience this is one of the common trigger points -- people who are determined not to let anyone enter their lanes or change into their lane ahead of them and will speed up to prevent it.

Nice doublepost, monsieur; are you taking pointers on multitasking from Jon now ?

I'm trying to master that praising-and-bumping your own thread thing that has become all the rage in B & S, but I'm too lazy to create another username.
