Martin Gottfried’s portrayal of American drivers in "Rambos of the Road" is only partially accurate (Gottfried‚ 2005‚ p.474-476). I have had experiences with both considerate motorists as well as aggressive motorists. This article looks at the angry drivers without even considering the more passive ones.
