Road rage - why more drivers should take a deep breath

       

IN the car, we can all feel aggrieved when faced by other motorists driving in a careless, inconsiderate of even downright dangerous manner.

But true road rage is another, more gruesome matter entirely and is often meted out by those whose own driving leaves plenty to be desired.

Shocked onlookers witnessed that up-close when they rushed to help a 45-year-old man left beaten and unconscious beside his car on Guildford Road last week.

The poor victim experienced the vicious cruelty of one stranger who police are now trying to trace.

More positively, the kindness of numerous strangers was on hand to assist him after the attack, and the Southport Visiter sends its best wishes for his recovery.

One of those who helped was mother-of-two Wendy Gillett, who believes "people are getting very aggressive in their cars these days".

Of course, the vast majority of drivers would never contemplate violence.

But many could learn from taking a few more deep breaths and behaving more calmly behind the wheel.
