This site is named as such because, quite frankly, driving here on Long Island can make one feel like they're at war with other drivers at times. Pretty much anywhere you go in North America, you're bound to run into inconsiderate and/or simply ignorant people on the road... combine that with the metro New York area's generally high level of traffic and you have quite a recipe for raising blood pressure.

As mentioned above, the aim of Road Wars is to try and educate the masses about common driving etiquette. For many of us, most of this information is common sense, not anything we needed to be taught. Just goes to show you that common sense must not be all that common, because I personally run into several blatantly rude drivers just about every day, and I'm sure most people reading this do as well. By putting out the information found at the right, my hope is that some of these ignorant people will realize that maybe their driving habits are a bit lacking in the courtesy department... however, judging by the feedback I have received, most of the people reading are the ones who already know and agree with the things I'm writing about. Still, if the message gets through to even just a few people, the time spent making this site will have been worth it.

Please keep in mind that with this website, I'm not trying to insist that everyone become a perfect driver, or give the impression that I myself am a perfect driver. Even the best and most courteous drivers on the road make mistakes from time to time. The point here is that there's a big difference between being a perfect driver and exhibiting some good manners on the road... so please, do like your mother admonished you all those years - mind your manners! ;)
