Don't you love it when you look back, turn your signal to move lanes,

and the bastard who's 3 car spaces above you decides to ACCELERATE and gives you the finger because, given the space, you're going to merge anyway because the space is quite obviously there?

I slow down.

Most people slow down.

No, the cretin didn't have any bumper stickers.

I did, but I don't see how my bumper sticker, "Hung like Einstein and Smart as a Horse", could be seemed offensive and worth such nasty behavior on someone else's part...

My busdriver never does that!!!...............:bounce:

Haven't you noticed this phenomenon? Everyone in America has to be in front of someone else. They're so worried about getting behind someone else. It's really ridiculous. Today, for example. Some idiot in a HUMMER pulled in front of me to the point I had to slam on my brakes, even though there as no one behind me for like a mile. He just HAD to be in front of me. Pisses me off. OH, and the best part? He got in front of me going so slow, I passed him going the speed limit!
Duckie

I get road rage though so I have a TON of driving pet peeves ;)

How many dimensions are you driving in?

because some cretin had road rage on I-270 in Maryland. 2 vehicles, a Sebring convertible & a pick up (thought to be a Silverado) got in a pissing match on the Interstate. The 2 drivers were males and pissed off that one was going to get the better. The driver in the pick up sped up, passed the convertible and switched lanes and then slammed on his brakes. The driver of the convertible swerved right as not to run in back of the pick up, lost control of the car & rolled it. Now the driver in the convertible is dead, along with his passenger.

Police and fire crews search a vehicle that crashed, killing two people Wednesday morning along the southbound lanes of I-270, near Md. 80.


FREDERICK —Two people were killed Wednesday in a single-car crash just after 8 a.m. on southbound I-270 north of Park Mills Road, according to Maryland State Police.
Police identified the two dead as the driver Christian Michael Luciano, 28, and the front seat passenger Lindsay L. Bender, 25, both of Harrisburg, Pa.

The crash closed both lanes for almost an hour. Emergency officials said the crash was reported at 8:09 a.m. At about 8:50 a.m., one lane was reopened.

Maryland State Police are investigating the crash, which occurred when the 1998 silver convertible Chrysler Sebring driven by Luciano went over an embankment.

Police believe road rage and speed were factors in the crash, Cpl. Greg Shipley said.

Witnesses said Luciano and Bender, who were not wearing seat belts, exchanged obscene gestures with the driver of a full-size, green Chevrolet pickup truck. Police said he was a white man wearing a baseball hat.

Luciano lost control of the car while traveling south and swerved abruptly to the right to avoid hitting the truck. The Sebring struck several trees before landing in the embankment, police said.

Anyone with more information should call the Maryland State Police Frederick barrack at 301-644-4150.

Drivers passing through the area Wednesday evening, both north and southbound, noticed signs soliciting calls from witnesses to the crash, police said.

Maryland drivers believe aggressive driving is the biggest danger on Maryland roads, according to AAA Mid-Atlantic. A majority, 85 percent, believe increasing the severity of penalties for repeat offenders would effectively combat aggressive driving.

Aggressive driving is defined as a combination of three or more offenses, committed at the same time or during a single and continuous period of driving, according to Maryland law. Offenses include tailgating, unsafe passing, illegally passing on the right, running a red light, failing to yield the right of way and exceeding the speed limit.
