I came about as close as you can come to being either seriously injured (or killed) at lunch because of someone driving like an absolute ass wipe.
I was going down the parkway...speed limit is 45 mph and I was probably doing 51 or 52 in the left lane. I had a pluming company pickup about 3/4 of a car length behind me in the right lane.
Some gal came flying up behind us and cut between me and the truck pulling a lane change. How she missed both of us I don't know but she couldn't have missed me by more than an inch or two. Only reason she missed is I was paying attention and floored it and the guy in the plumbing truck was paying attention and pretty much locked up the brakes.
To say I was seriously pissed off would be an understatement. I floored it and caught up to the gal. I rode a matter of inches off her bumper for a good mile honking, flashing my lights and making it very apparent I was cussing her like nobody's business. She lucky, if she'd have been a guy I would've caught them and kicked the driver's ass. But since she was just a girl I just wanted to put the fear of God into her that if you drive like a completely reckless idiot someone might well follow you and kick your ass. I wouldn't hit a girl but I've met folks before that just might have jerked her out of the car in a fit of rage and smacked her one.
Needless to say, I get a tad bit pissed when someone takes my life in their hands by being a reckless jackass.
