THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION MIGHT OBJECT.

The Illinois State Police have a new suggestion for the Midwest's worst drivers.  “Road Rage. Don’t Engage.”

The ISP’s campaign will include educating the public on the signs of road rage and sharing tips on how to prevent a situation. Additionally, promotional materials will appear on billboards and radio ads and are encouraged to be posted on local departments’ social media.

One graphic from the promotional kit shows a handgun in a driver’s passenger seat with the caption, “Road rage is more dangerous than you think.”

The tagline appears tailor-made for those overhead message signs on the Interstates. Good thing, I suppose, that the Federal guidelines against witticisms on those signs is advisory only.
