    I've learned that confrontation never ends well. It's just that simple.

    Unless you're a cop and then it's job security.

    You never win an argument with LEO. That's got me out of a few ummm tight situations.

    You say you got a taste of what truckers deal with because of bad drivers. What you don't seem to grasp is you caused all this by playing road monitor and flipping a guy off because he ran a stop sign. Then you act surprised when he does it back to you. As far as being professional, that's hardly professional. That engine wasn't yours, you were being paid to take it somewhere. When I did that wearing a company shirt, I wasn't excused for doing what you did. Doesn't matter if it is a freelance job or not. Still highly unprofessional.

    I agree...I'm saying if you start confrontations with other people you are giving cops job security because they will show up to take you to the lockup. ;)
