'Bill would make road rage a crime in Maine'

Post by Brk »

Well that seems reasonable, until you read the first paragraph.
Drivers tempted to slow down -- or even tap their brakes once or twice -- when a vehicle behind them is tailgating, might want to think again.

If either a tailgater or a driver of a vehicle being tailgated is deemed to be driving to endanger, that person could lose his or her driver's license. The same goes for a driver who commits an assault in connection with a driving dispute.

So what do you get when you raise the middle finger to someone while driving?

"Driving to endanger"...isn't that what reckless driving is?

That would so fly in Washington, everyone on the roads would be stopped for tailgating. If you leave the correct amount of space between you and the next vehicle thats and invitation to swerve in front of you.
