Not too long after I had begun to drive as a ager, someone pulled out of a parking lot onto the road in front of m e. I reacted36and pulled up very close behind her--- just to show my irritation(怒气) and let her know she didn't 'just37with that!' We've all been there with38incidents and reactions. My mother was with me, and told me to turn into the39parking lot. Safely there, she asked me why I40that lady had pulled out in front of me purposely.41rude, power play--- I guessed. Mom said that maybe she had just had some bad42, maybe she was late picking up her child and was distracted(分心). Think of all the43of why someone does something like that. It's usually not on purpose--- but what I do as a reaction is on purpose. She always said that I44to think about the other side before I45. Usually the reaction causes more of a46.
I am in my fifties now, and to this day, that has always47my head whenever those 48happen. I've49my children the same thing. We often see and hear about 'road rage.' No matter to what50that 'rage' is taken, my children will say something like, 'They need Grandma's words!' As s, I don't see them react as most of us do51their first reaction is always anger and irritation --- they52it and53what the other person's pro blem might be. Even if the other driver really might be54or doing a 'power play,' no more55reactions will occur because of their irritation.
