Don’t Mess with Me!

Well, I have to admit that I am not the calmest driver out there on the roads but some people really take road rage to a whole new level. For instance, this morning, I was merging from Lee Highway onto Rt. 66 and when it clearly should have been my turn to merge, the car beside me obviously did not want to let me over, as was indicated by his incessant honking. That one extra car in front of him would have really caused him a significant delay in getting to wherever he was going. Well, I usually have the advantage in my SUV, and this case was no different – I continued to hold my own and merged right in front of his smaller Nissan, giving him a friendly wave, which did not go over too well. Once on 66, he flew up beside me so I braced myself for a harsh middle finger, but no – instead, I got something thrown at my car! Really? I didn’t think they gave licenses to 5 year olds – Grow up, dude! Anyway, the incident did shake me up a bit, so I proceeded to follow him and managed to jot down his license plate number and call the state police. A police officer did meet up with me and took down my report, but since there was no real damage (I think it was just ice that was thrown) most likely there won’t be charges pressed unless the guy admits to his road rage. The cop promised me he would scare the guy as best as he could though. I’d like to have a few words with him myself…
