Be sure to work on your sense of humor.
Seems to me that the Florida laws are crazy when they set bond at prob cash. Usually means 10% doesn't it. With his means they should have known he would have no problem getting out. As far as the Bush/Cheney car, has anyone read DU lately? They are so fringe there I wouldn't doubt if this person who went crazy reads it.
I love your sign!
Not this particular behavior, but if someone parks in front of me on the on ramp for an hour and a half, I'd be pretty hot under the collar. I hope I wouldn't react this way, but I'd react. Given his inexcusable behavior, is there any behavior by her you would not excuse? (rhetorical question, reversing your argument)
Get the t-shirt here.
My next door neighbor had a guy pull along side her on her way home from work last week. He waved at her to get her attention and when she looked over he was whacking his peepee. He followed her for 10-12 miles at speeds in excess of 90 mph. She reported it to the police and they said they had several complaints about the guy doing this, including one woman in her 80's. He used a magnetic tag mount and would take his tag off when he would do this. They finally caught the guy and she and the others ID'd him in a line up.
Seems like there are more and more creeps in this world every day.
I'll be thinking of you when I watch "Gladiator" on TNT tonight.
Sounds like good advice. Maybe if she handn't flipped the aggressive driver off and ignored him, the incident might have ended at the horn-honking stage ... maybe.
My sentiments exactly. People do really dumb stuff when driving that upsets everyone around.
In my travels I have noticed that a preponderance of women never admit to their mistakes, but are super fast to throw an obscene jesture. Just an observation from the road. (as a percentage, women are more likely to cut off or left turn a biker, then throw the bird when you blow your horn at them, really stupid)
This story has more angles than we know. But since MSM is always biased toward the female, I don't think we'll get it.
I think so. Do you think it would have been better if she had pulled into traffic and gotten hit by vehicle?
My point: Why was she driving at all when she couldn't perform the most fundamental of tasks that a licensed driver is required to do?
She was scared to death- so she gave him the finger.
She was terrified- so she called her lawyer before she notified police.
The woman's an idiot as well.
"As long as you stay in the right lanes you should not have any trouble. Try driving slower than traffic in the left lane and you might as well post a target on your back."
You're obviously not in California - people tailgate here relentlessly, no matter what lane it is, driving conditions, traffic congestion, even on surface streets. The worst violators? Yuppie Liberal Maggots with their BMWs and SUVs with Kerry stickers. They're simply more important than YOU, and you have to get out of THEIR way - and they'll flip you off while doing it.
I watch it daily. Someone is doing 90 in the fast lane, Liberal Maggot comes flying up behind them (usually with driver on the phone), the car going 90 can't merge over due to traffic in the right lane (and most times traffic in front), so the Maggot veers over 3 or 4 lanes - without signaling - cutting everyone off, and tailgates the cars in the slow lanes so they can get by - then they cut off 3 or 4 lanes of traffic to get one car length ahead in the fast lane, rinse, repeat.
I've seen elderly women in the slow lanes burst into tears from this behavior. It's out of control and it's literally killing people, I've seen more accidents in the last couple of years that were fatalities from this kind of driving than ever before. Too many Californians have this attitude that NOBODY, and I mean NOBODY is going to be faster than THEM, no matter how unsafe it makes it for everyone else, it's quasi-passive-aggresive Yuppie machismo BS, and it's making it unsafe for us all.
Next worst offenders are the kiddies in their "Fast N' Furious" mobiles, who think a fart can on the exhaust and a off-market set of rim makes them stunt drivers and their cars capable of high speed maneuvering, but that's a whole new thread on it's own.
I drive according to the flow of traffic (and the absence of CHP). If the road's clear, driving conditions are clear, I'll get the 'Stang up in the mid 80's and cruise. But no matter what, no matter where I am, no matter what lane, some sh*thead Yuppie will be on my ass, trying to out-'tude me behind his or her $400 sunglasses, tailgating me or cutting me off to get around someone going 1/2 mile slower than he/she is.
Of course, I have my own tactics that deal with THAT safely and legally, nothing makes my day like making a Liberal Maggot lose it - most of them are cowards, and since I'm neither female or pregnant, the most they'll do is give me the finger or swear at me.
I do live in California. I do travel our freeways daily. Most often I run the freeways on a motorcycle. I am the guy who is lane splitting past you while you are creeping along at 15 mph. :-)

I know this is a technical detail, but I get hung up on details...how could she see what he was doing??? I mean car windows come up to one's armpit when we are sitting in them.
Over 6 billion people in this world...wouldn't bother me one bit to get rid of all the a$$ho1es like this one!
This has happened to me as well, twice. There I am driving down the highway, minding my own business when I sense a car next to me going the exact same speed, I look over, and sure enough, the guy was whacking off. Talk about getting off at the next exit!
