Hello, thanks for tuning in. As you know, I'm hanging out here with Scott Benjamin, the

auto editor of how stuffWorks.com.

My name is Ben, and I'm the guy who ask you questions, right, Scott?

That's the way it works, yeah.

We've got to be honest.

We live in a city with a lot of traffic, and one of the things that happens when you're stuck in traffic,

I don't know about you, but it happens to me pretty frequently uh road rage oh okay yeah wait wait are you the uh

are you the uh are you the uh you know the person with road rage you know i've i've tried to

picture you know what kind of type of road rager I would

categorize myself as and I think I'm a quiet seetheer okay I'm just waiting for a

chance to honk my horn I have no mistake about that okay but I think that driving

aggressively or yelling at people really just runs the risk of making it worse

for everybody and I've honestly worked on. I don't really vocalize it or anything. I mean, what kind of road rager would you say you are? Oh, boy. Hmm. I'm an under-the-breath swearing type of road rager. Yeah. Yeah, unfortunately, that's a bad habit. But, No, I don't even touch my horn, ever.

Really?

I mean, yeah, maybe just the polite, you know, the, you know,

please move ahead type of honk, you know, the little couple of taps on it.

Yeah.

I don't ever just lay on the horn and get on someone's bumper or anything like that.

And I may, on occasion, I may get a tiny bit aggressive and drive a little bit too close to somebody, you know, just to make a point. But it's not something I'm proud of.
