So true, vote2012, road rage is rampant in Memphis because of idiot drivers who lack basic driving skills, like driving in the left lane side by side another car and blocking the rest of traffic. Get that A$$ over in the right lane and let people pass. The left lane is the passing lane on a freeway, not a lane for people to poke along in. If people would just pay attention to other cars and get out of the way, there wouldn't be so much frustration and road rage.

Im not saying what the shooters did was right, but it would be nice if drivers didn't shoot "no pun intended" out of a side street in front of other drivers and then decide to drive slow or slam on their brakes. Whats your rush if your just going to slow down? Wait until others pass and then shoot out and then you can putt putt as much as you want.
