Road rage at it's finest
#11
Jealousy does bring out the worst in people . I had some POS small Nissan truck jump over 3 lanes of traffic on Hillsborough Ave here in Tampa , because he was about to drive right into the side of my car I beeped . This A-hole pulls up in back of me at the light and starts yelling and cussing , I just sat there laughing at the stupidity of this idiot .Funy thing is he starts getting louder and the 3 dudes in a Ford F250 sitting next to me that sw the whole thing happen started yelling back at him . These dummies where read to fight in the middle of the street for complete BS . What is this world coming to .

One pet peeve of mine is how if traffic is stopped on an interstate for a mile or more due to a closed lane, people here refuse to use both lanes to the merge point. Frankly, if the traffic is already stop-and-go, there's no need to DOUBLE the length of the queue. There's a reason why the interstates have signs that say "use both lanes to merge point", followed by huge signs that say "merge here".
Anyways, I was travelling up 279 a little past McKnight when traffic came to a stop. Having been there less than a week ago, I knew the construction zone and the merge point was literally not for at least another mile. I stay in my lane up to the merge point. When I get there, there's the usual myriad of people trying to edge me out. I'm fine with that, I don't expect everyone to understand my point of view.
What surprised me the most though was some middle aged guy in his Hyundai Azera, who literally took it to the extreme. He continually tried to edge me out, and pulled alongside and rolled down his window to say "Don't think I won't **** up your paint and run you off the road!". All I could say was, "REALLY?! Do you really think it's worth that?" Lady behind him lets me in, and we continue through the construction zone, and he continually stops short to brake check me, and other childish things. And once we get on the open road, I pass him because I really want none his stupidity. Next thing I know, he's passing me at 120 mph, waving the bird at me. The most shocking thing was, when he passed by, I spot his kid, who was no more than a couple years old, still in a child seat in his backseat! I really hope he kills himself before he gets his child killed...that level of irresponsibility to your life and your child's is seriously unfathomable.

My brother called me and told me all about this happening...I can't believe you provoked my brother to do this to your car!
In all seriousness...so glad you're ok. Wow, what a complete NUT. It's amazing how stoopid and silly some people can be. Folks just need to relax...in the end, he's lucky he didn't hurt anyone.
Props to PA's finest getting to you and apprehending this moron. It's always a great feeling to see the "good guys" get the "bad guys."

Glad you did the right thing Maury!! Its nice to see people like that get caught.
I'm not sure what i would have done in that situation. With the viper i get a lot of good and bad, not many people that don't have an opinion....but i haven't had anyone throw anything at me yet! Thats pretty scarry.
I don't log on to s2ki that much anymore but it seems every time i check in there is some bad news about the club.....i feel really bad about Cale and all these bad stories...I really hope everyone has a good new year!
