There is a great commercial that I have seen recently. It depicts two men in a supermarket pushing carts. One man is directly behind the other and is impatiently rolling his eyes and tapping his foot waiting for the man in front to move faster. After finally going around the guy in front he turns the isle only to find another man with a cart, and the unnecessary drama begins all over again. Then the listener hears similar words to these " You wouldn't behave this way in the market, so why would you behave this way while driving." The viewer can see how uncalled for and truly pathetic discourteous driving is.

What happened this week in the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles is a horrible example of what the television spot was getting at in a light-hearted way. Two men have been booked for an investigation of attempted murder, pertaining to a horrific car crash, after a mother and her two children, a 8-month old girl and a 4-year-old boy, where crushed between parked cars due to the two men's road rage.

The cars were driving at 50 mph to 90 mph, according to police. They were cutting each other off. At one point the Camero slammed on its brakes and the Nissan, while trying to avoid the Camero, hit a parked car. The mother has lost one leg and could loose another. The 4-year-old boy is in critical condition. Should he or the baby die, the two men will be charged with murder. Understandably, the father is inconsolable. Relatives have been telling the severely injured mother that her children are fine, as they are worried about what the truth would do to her.
