"A 44-year-old woman who was teaching her teenage daughter to drive has died after being shot in the head in an apparent road-rage attack outside her Las Vegas home."

This is my comment posted above:

"As a cyclist I have been exposed to all kinds of road rage and I can tell you it's a jungle out there. Bring a machete and a banana."

It means --loosely translated-- that you go out prepared for the worst, but have a sense of humor or a banana to give to the aggressor.

That's your answer? Bring a knife (and a snack) to a gun fight? Really?
My answer is to find the guy and execute him at dawn, tomorrow.
Pity, the authorities are not doing anything to prevent road rage. It would require education and yes, humor and harsh punishment too. In Venezuela they brought clowns to the streets to tame traffic.

As a cyclist I'm using humor and I do military salute (yes sir!) when they command me to leave the road or whatever they mean by blasting the horn. They can do whatever they want and escape punishment.

Fat lot of good that is for people scared of clowns. :-)
Not only Venezuela but also Brazil:

Here's one for you ...
Yesterday here in New Zealand four American tourists crashed into a
logging truck ... three who stupidly (and illegally) not wearing
seatbelts were killed, while the fourth who was wearing a seatbelt
survived and is in hospital. It wouldn't be a surprise if, as with
other recent tourist accidents, they were also driving on the wrong
side of the road, "didn't see" a stop sign, and / or were speeding.
"Stupidity is not rewarded in the jungle"

Americans drive on "auto pilot." The bumper sticker says, "God is my copilot."

Miami -Las Vegas....
people in Vegas are more intelligent.

That video proves that the victim engaged in the law of the jungle:

"Kill or be Killed"

The other road rage videos are scary too. I once was humiliated by a driver who spit in my face, but I neither had a machete nor a banana.

Witnessed today: Old lady driving a car blasts horn at lady crossing the street with pedestrian light as if she owned the road... "LICENSE TO KILL."

Where are the clowns?
