Road Rage

7/22/2012

I love newspapers.  Rather than a just a brief blurb on the radio or a short, superficial story on the television, newspapers can write in depth. 

Good journalists are important.  They aid our understanding of the world around us.    That's why I want to highlight the work of Yang Wang and John Tedesco in the July 20, 2012, edition of the Houston Chronicle. 

Research by these two journalists turned up over 900 wrecks in the Houston area in the past 5 years that were caused by road rage.  Hundreds of people were injured and five were killed. 

Wang and Tedesco concluded from their research that road rage crashes peak during evening rush hour, with nearly one out of four occurring between 4 and 7 pm.  Most of the time, angry men are involved, and the most commonly used vehicle is a truck.
