    Use that logic in court when you get caught speeding in your personal vehicle cuz you were racing to catch some a hole who cut you off and you lose your CDL

    but had you crashed him him, either at that point, or when he passed you again later, now that's a crash on YOUR DMV..

    you gotta think the consequences of your actions.

    apparently, even driving your own vehicle, you think you're better.

    company vehicle, a friends vehicle, your vehicle, you gotta drive the straight and narrow, and AVOID problems, rather than create them as YOU DID, when YOU FLIPPED him off. had you "let it go", and HE crashed someplace else, with out you involved, you would still have a nice clean DMV.

    how do you explain to an employer, that YOU were charged in a road rage situation?

    you obviously DO NOT THINK.

    It's ok, he is still proving my point when he will never get it together, we had a go around in a thread a year or 2 ago. I still think the same. At the time I said I hope you make me eat my words and you do get it together. And here we are... He won't ever hold a cdl. This is just the next round of attention seeking

    The bigger point here is that you can't behave in such a manner when driving 70+ feet of vehicle that is capable of killing someone in an instant. If you're seriously considering driving a truck, you need to have a thicker skin and be the bigger man in ALL situations on the road.

    Some idiot with a broken drivers mirror (it was basically at my F350 hood) tried cutting me off as I was getting off the highway. I didnt stick around and flip him off, call his mother names. I gunned it and got away from that ####ty driver.

    That's kind of like eating a bit of raw flour and thinking you've have had a taste of what Black Forest cake is like. :|
