A 76-year-old Florida man was arrested after becoming impatient and driving into a road worker in his Porsche.
According to FlaglerLive, Donald Steimle, 76, had an “encounter” with a flagman names Isaiah in Palm Coast on Thursday.
The outlet said that a road crew, paving the road, was directing traffic. 76-year-old Steimle ignored the flagman Isiah’s instructions, drove into oncoming traffic, revved his engine, and drove into the flagman.
According to FlaglerLive, Isaiah was able to get Steimle to stop “so he did not cause a head-on collision,” Steimle’s arrest report states, as he stood in front of the car.
Steimle “began to yell that he needed to turn left.” He then “revved his engine and proceeded to lunge forward into Isaiah striking his legs and pushing him back against his will.”

I like to get into the empty lane next to me and block them. They don’t like it.
I’ve almost been in more physical fights in the last year than I have the rest of my previous 64 years combined.
Is there any possibility that your first sentence could possibly be related to the third sentence?
I know that I would be pretty annoyed with a self-appointed arrogant old bugger blocking my progress.
How do you know that there isn't a reasonable, legitimate reason for others to be travelling faster than YOU, oh mighty one, deem correct?
BS the guys a Yankee for sure
DA will be sipping his SBUX later this week at their twice-a-week early-ass roundup with his assistant DA crew, and they will label it a total no-winner and give it to the new guy to try and browbeat Mr. Porsche-duh into whatever enhanced moving violation applies (Shit, I need to know this, now that I'm living there part-time...).
$10,000 fine for hitting workers near here.
LOL! Fifty years ago it was drivers in OKC!
Would you be cruising at 90 weaving in and out of cars? Then what does that make you, you? (besides a danger to everyone else on the thruway)
Some dumbshit who was weaving in and out at 90 mph 2 months ago cut off someone whose car rolled and killed 2 people
iirc, HUGE fines and mandatory prison time in FL
👍👍👍
Self-appointed traffic controllers. What’s not to love?
Here’s a clue: Lead, follow, or get out of the way.
Others could take offense at being hampered in their travels, and not all are unarmed.
You missed the point of my last post. Or at least chose to ignore it.
Are you one of those who weaves in and out of lanes at 90 mph?
Or are you OK with those that do? Does cutting-off other vehicles CAUSING 2 DEATHS not even register with you?
No, but I have had a jackwad block me EXACTLY the way you so proudly declared while trying to rush a neighbour’s pet to the emergency vet.
The delay caused by the self-appointed traffic cop was an additional stress to the poor dog that it did not survive.
As I said, you have NO idea why someone else is driving in a manner YOU so sanctimoniously don’t like. In other words, it is NOT your place to decide.
What you saw is more the exception than the rule. I don’t condone stupid driving, and blocking other drivers rates right up there with texting while driving.
Have the day you deserve.
Oh gosh... your poor doggie died? Because you felt you had the right to drive like a moron IGNROING THE SAFTEY OF EVERYONE ELSE?
I bet you had your warning flashers on too, and those meanies around you would not let you weave in and out of traffic at 90 MPH to save him
You sound like an entitled liberal.
