People are lucky I dont carry a firearm. Anyhow, here's the story, I'm going 45MPH down a road (Harrison) and some stupid driver chose to do a left turn and sit idle in the turn bay, and is inching forward INDECISIVELY!. So I'm coasting now giving him opportunity to cut me off, well, he stops short, then goes in front of me! WTF! Then I lean on my horn, flip my brights... and guess what he does... RIDE THE BRAKE! Here's me getting enraged. I go next to him, roll down my window and give him the finger, and lean on the left side of my lane (I almost could touch his window). GRRRRRR

But after that I felt relieved and coaxed myself to calm down and opt not to take it further. Then I made it home to write this.
