Well what can one say? The driver of the vehicle was in the fast lane, no one (except one truck they passed) was in the slow lane; why did they not just move over and let him pass? What was their point of continuing to make matters worse to the point of an accident?


Here is a bit of humor to lighten the moment:

A blonde had just gotten a new sports car and was out for a drive when she cut off a truck driver. He motioned for her to pull over. When she did, he got out of his truck and pulled a piece of chalk from his pocket. He drew a circle on the road and told the blonde, "Stand in the circle and don't move!"

He then went to her car and cut up her leather seats. When he turned around she had a slight grin on her face, so he said, "Oh, you think that's funny? Watch this."

He gets a baseball bat out of his truck and breaks every window in her car. When he turns and looks at her she has a smile on her face. He is getting really mad. He gets his knife back out and slices all her tires. Now she's laughing. The truck driver is really starting to lose it. He goes back to his truck and gets a can of gas, pours it on her car and sets it on fire.

He turns around and she is laughing so hard she is about to fall down.

"What's so funny?" the truck driver asked the blonde. She replied, "When you weren't looking I stepped outside the circle four times."

My thoughts??

1. If someone is on your tail, get over to the right lane.

2. If you are in the right lane and someone is tailgaiting you, tap on your brake pedal lightly to make the brake lights come on, without actually slowing, so you don't get hit.

3. Never flip off anyone or shout anything out the window. You don't know who you are dealing with.

4. Never tail-gate another driver. Allow one car length for each 10 mph of vehicle speed, whenever possible.

5. If someone is driving crazy, stay away, as much as possible to avoid flying metal and broken glass. Chances are they are either mood or substance impaired.


BTW, whenever I see a high sitting truck like that, with big knobby tires, invariably they have a KUCINICH/NADER bumper sticker.....so I've learned to be very wary of that type of left leaner mentality.

I live in AR, so I have a bumper sticker that says " if you can read this you must not be from around here. ". My family doesn't find it funny, but I tell them that if anyone can read it - they're not from around here so don't know them.

I drive a 4x4 myself, not because I'm a redneck, but because that's the only vehicle I can get in and out of. It's my "adaptive device" for driving. I don't mind moving over for knuckle heads, it's not personal. I slow down, or even stop, when I see some doofus driving crazy. I have somewhere to go, you see, and don't care to get involved in somebody else's accident. When I want to be in an accident, I cause it myself, that's the decent thing to do.
