Passive-aggressively, perhaps, but aggressively nonetheless. They disregard the common (well...) driving convention of KRETP and disrupt smooth traffic flow in the interest of their own agenda or convenience. Isn't that the kind of behavior aggressive driving laws are supposed to curb? Personally I think the wording "a word from the aggressive drivers of Tucson" indicates that this columnist is part of the problem, not part of the solution. You can't pick and choose which "aggressive" drivers to target, and nowhere did the writer indicate that he ever drove in an aggressive manner. Totally unwarranted. nate |
