In retrospect it was kinda funny to watch but a few weeks ago I was driving up I-95 in Virginia (3 lanes) very late one night and I was in the far right lane preparing to hit the exit ramp in another mile or so. 65 MPH speed limit, there was a fellow in the far left lane doing just over 75 mph by a mile or two (according to my cruise control) and he had a young guy in a Mustang right on his butt who was obviously annoyed that the first guy wouldn't move to the right (middle) lane to let him go past. The middle lane was wide open as we were the only three vehicles within a quarter mile.

The young fellow flashed his hi-beams about 4 or 5 quick times and the guy in front just locked his brakes up. No warning. The kid swerved into the middle lane and as he over-corrected, he sent his car into a flat spin, power slide with white smoke and the smell of burnt rubber. I was 30 or 40 yards behind and keeping an eye on the situation so had plenty of time to slow and avoid any trouble and when I saw through the smoke that his car was still on all fours, had quite a chuckle. I continued on and pulled up even with the lead car and I looked in my rearview mirror to see the mustang scrambling to the shoulder, I looked over and I swear the driver of the lead car was 90 years old, if he was a day.

Just an observation: I'm sure your chuckle/attitude would have been quite different if as the smoke cleared you find yourself running into him or he rolls into you.

Bumpa-cars on I-95.

Always a fun time. . .especially if you aren't innocent one that becomes collateral damage in road-rage battles. Fun to watch and a misery to be the innocent hurt in the battle.
