My passengers were silen

11、t. I knew they were alarmed, and I prayed that I wouldnt be called upon to protect them. In that cheerful frame of mind, I turned off my own lights so I couldnt be followed. It was madness. I was responding to a crazy as a crazy.(4)“Ill just drive to the police station,“ I finally said, and as if th

12、ose were the magic words, he disappeared.(5)It seems to me that there has recently been an epidemic of auto macho-a competition perceived and expressed in driving. People fight it out over parking spaces. A toll booth becomes a signal for elbowing fenders. And beetle-eyed drivers hunch over their st

13、eering wheels, squeezing the rims, glowering, preparing the excuse of not having seen you as they muscle you off the road. Approaching a highway on an entrance ramp recently, I was strong-armed by a trailer truck so immense that its driver all but blew me away by blasting his horn. UThe behemoth/U w

14、as just inches from my hopelessly mismatched vehicle when I fled for the safety of the shoulder.(6)The odd thing is that long before I was even able to drive, it seemed to me that people were at their finest and most civilized when in their cars.

Perhaps memory fails, perhaps there were always testy drivers, perhapsbut everyone

16、didnt give you the finger.(7)A most amazing example of driver rage occurred recently in Manhattan. We were four cars abreast, stopped at a traffic light. And there was no moving even when the light had changed. A bus had stopped in the cross traffic, blocking our paths, it was normal-for-New-York-Ci

17、ty gridlock. Perhaps impatient, perhaps late for important appointments, three of us nonetheless accepted what, after all, we could not alter. One, however, would not. He would not be helpless. He would go where he was going even if he couldnt get there. He got out of his car and strode toward the b

He then stepped in front of the bus, took hold of one of its large windshield wipers and broke it.(8)UThe bus doors reopened and the driver appeared, apparently giving the fellow a good pie

19、ce of his mind./U If so, the lecture was wasted, for the man started his car and drove directly into the bus. He rammed it.

How many of us speed up when a driver signals his intention

22、of pulling in front of us? Are we resentful and anxious to pass him? How many of us try to squeeze in, or race along the shoulder at a lane merger?(11)What is it within us that gives birth to such antisocial behavior and why, all of a sudden, have so many drivers gone around the bend? My friend, a M

23、anhattan psychiatrist, calls it “a Rambo pattern. People are running around thinking the American way is to take the law into your own hands when anyone does anything wrong. And what constitutes wrong? Anything that cramps your style.“(12)UIt seems to me that it is a new America we see on the road n
