    Motorists do the darnedest things. I've gone road-rage postal in my fantasies, but I haven't found the cajones to actually do what the driver in the article did. Got too much to lose tbh

    Regardless of what the motorist did, it’s very “UNPROFESSIONAL” to respond the way the driver did. As a local driver, I go through BS all day long. I’ve learned to ignore it and get home safely.

    Probably just passing him... sorry to say, the days of giving the truck driver benefit of the doubt are just about gone. It's bad enough now, that I don't even NOTICE the 4 wheelers any more unless they do something REALLY dumb.

    I like to imagine i have force powers and can bat the car off the road in exceptionally violent ways sometimes. Like you got too much to lose to do more then curse and wish. But i wouldnt shed many/any tears if they lost control into a bridge pillar at high speed either.

    I thought I was the only one who imagined force abilities. I try to “luke in the ice cave” my hammer to my hand at least once a week.
