I have finally, in the last week or so got my car back on the road. Well tonight my wife and I decide to take it on its first good drive in quite some time. We got about 3 miles from home after being gone for about 45 minutes and some jackass cuts me off and slams on the brakes at 45 miles an hour. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
If it was not for good brakes and an empty center turn lane I would have ate the assend of a SUV. Did a pretty good job of flatspotting the right front tire but other than that got away unscathed. When we finally got around the guy we could tell he was fighting with his wife/girlfriend. Didn't even know we were there,or that he had almost caused a major accident. Just remember to drive like you are invisible, BECAUSE YOU ARE!!! Be careful everyone. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Well, I used to agree until the spat of road rage shooting several years ago. Now I've chilled out a lot towards drivers who do asshole things like this. I thought long and hard about these types of situations and came to the conclusion to not get involved with this guy. I've lived my whole life not knowing this guy existed and now I'm gonna get back at him by giving him the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/finger.gif) It might make me feel good but is also likely to piss him off and now after cutting me off and almost causing me to wreck, now he's pissed at me. And who knows if he's packing heat and just had an argument with his girl, just lost his job, ..., and whatever. Best thing is to do IMO, is to get away from him, don't look at him, and continue living your life without this asshole. Lord knows we all deal with enough assholes in our daily lives and adding another one on the road is not going to make our lives any better. |
