THE front page of Sunday's paper carried pictures of a car driver and pedestrian tussling on the trunk of a car, The pedestrian claimed the car had bumped him while he was in a crosswalk so he swore and hit the car with his hand. The driver got out and the ensuing altercation was captured on film by News photograph- er Brad Ledwidge. In Los Angeles the chances are higher there could have been a knife or a gun involved in the dispute. Road rage is a term that has been coined to cover the aggression, increasingly exhibited, by dri- vers who feel aggrieved by the actions of other drivers. In the circumstances Inquiring, Reporter has to confess to being astonished by the number of good dri- vers who say they are out there — but then I’m at my worst behind a wheel.
