    Funny, but in a way, almost. A little history about me when it comes to cameras. I was a combat photographer in the navy working special ops. I, along with others mounted some cam corders on the marine's rifles which went over pretty well. They came back with some footage that surprised us. Now this was during Desert Storm and before digital anything.

    As the marines advanced on Iraqi Forces, most of the time the Iraqis would come running out with white flags and waving their arms yelling, "we surrender, American soldier!" Why? Because they knew they would be treated better than how they were being treated in their own country. 3 meals a day, showers, beds to sleep in, and serving under Saddam wasn't the best life.

    After I got out, I mounted a camcorder to a helmet so when I went kayaking or mountain biking I could capture the event, that was in 1995. Wouldn't you know, in 2002 the go pro was invented. If only, I could be rich by now and be giving advice to those seeking investments on shark tank.

    So yes, I'm a camera nut. I have the garmin mounted on the windshield and next to me in arms reach I have a Go Pro that is attached to a head band and no, I do not wear it all the time, usually only when I'm out walking around somewhere. It is very easy to grab and put on and don't have to do anything. Just like the garmin, you shout out (over the noisy truck) commands and it will take video or capture photos.

    Just like my Bluetooth headset for my phone, I don't wear it all the time, only when someone calls or making calls I then put it on.

    Amen to that . We were in the neutral zone then flanked west with the tracks and we’d see those guys coming south in droves. Old school c rats and k rats were a smorgasbord for them and a full blown MRE was a banquet. I gave a couple my chicken a la king ones. I HATED that one.

    It takes two to tango. I have never done nuthin story even though the situation escalated out of control. Dumb rude driver angers you then you release anger by getting back at them. Then they up the ante getting the situation out of control. You would not be in this pickle of a situation if you would have let the other driver "win". Sooner or later it was going to catch up with you. Many more adventures to come ignoring old wig here. Happy trails and will look forward to your future adventure under a different pseudonym

    Yeah, I'm done debating this. There's multiple statements in my post that suggests why I didn't slow down, in that whenever I tried adjusting my speed, she would stay with me but the question keeps coming up, so obviously it's not something that is clear to those reading this. You just want to pick it apart as if you would have done this differently or that differently, but you weren't there and without the other video it's senseless.

    So because you have never heard these people break character, it never happened. You suggest that you would have done things differently. You had a preventable accident and you're giving me advice!?

    So yes, Karla can be unfair, but according to lostheart, he knows better because if he never experience toxic behavior within his 7 years with this company then it isn't so.

    Here's another one:
    First of all, I stated why I was in the left lane, but apparently you can't comprehend what you're reading, if in fact you did read it. Second of all, I never said "she flipped me the bird". I stated something entirely different, but those who can't comprehend.

    Again, this was expained, but nope. Perhaps I should post this in Brail.

    Again, expained in my post that, yes she was trying to force me off the road and maybe stop in front of me. She gestured that she had a gun, not flipping me the bird. Now someone's going to come back and say, "she was flipping you the bird?"

    If she was successful in stopping in front of me, what was her next move, shooting me? But ya'll try to tell me that you would have done things differently as if you were there. I expect that, but again, in the spirit of the moment, you cannot tell me you would have done things differently.

    "Accusing someone that they could have done things differently" means to claim that someone made a mistake or handled a situation poorly, implying that they had alternative choices or actions that would have resulted in a better outcome, often with a critical or blaming tone.

    As mentioned, Holland did eventually send the video, 2 days later. They thought they sent their video but they didn't. They got their video mixed up with mine and it wasn't until I called them on it that they finally sent their video. You KNOW differently?

    "I have never done nuthin story even though the situation escalated out of control." I'm not sure what you're trying to say here but it comes off as mumbo-jumbo.

    Never got angry or emotional during this incident, but you, like others know better because you would have done things differently, yeah right... because you know better.

    "Happy trails and will look forward to your future adventure under a different pseudonym." What a ignorant comment.

    I will say this much based on the video that I’ve watched. I’ve had people do that to me before and I backed out of it like I said, based on observation what I saw it seems like there’s aggressive, driving habits going on… just learn from it and move on

    Let’s face it drivers,there are some folks out that are verifiably crazy. Even when you’re dealing with road ragers and back out of it there are people who go looking for a fight or worse. There are plenty of YouTube videos that show some of these confrontations to a fault.

    Ignorance is believing you are a perfect angel. And thinking you can fool all people in believing so. Your triggered reaction to my initial comment not calling you ignorant initially proves you are a tempered hothead. Which translates to your driving. You have the tit for tat syndrome. Keep dreaming and reaching for the sky. With some meditation classes I believe you will control your road rage one day if you put your mind to it. I wouldn't like to have your future legal issues good luck mate.
