Road Rage Self-Check?

[MRG]

People do really stupid things. Sometimes they don't know why. I'm always reminded of a incident I wittnessed 40 years ago.

A guys car hit my buddies truck in a parking lot. Guy didn't have insurance or cash.

I used to work with this guy logging and he was a country boy with a crazy streak. Long story but he ended up chopping the other guys car up with his axe. About 20 people witnessed. It's pretty amazing the amount of damages an axe can do to a vehicle.

The owner got riled at one time and suggested he was calling the cops! My buddy looked at him, said go ahead. All these people heard me ask you it it was OK! The guy thought my buddy was bluffing, he didn't bluff.

Sometimes it's good to walk away. Other times it's good to own the axe!

be careful where you do this.....in CA you can get a ticket for honking.
DW did after following someone who was moseying along well below speed limit in the center lane acting as if they wanted to turn somewhere but giving no signals. She challenged by going to traffic court and fortunately the judge accepted her novel defense that she was tooting and not honking. It was especially sweet because officer was there. .......but you can't count on that happening every time.
