Happy Birthday, Mike!!!

I had a similar situation this weekend while out in Bay City with the 911. A couple of a$$clowns in a DIESEL Chevy pickup were next to me on a divided highway, speed limit of 35. In my car, you are basically at wheel level to most trucks as well as the lovely disel sounds those motors make. i could hear the driver revving up the engine and "jumping " ahead. I just ignored them. I have been doing what Aerkuld suggested, driving slower and giving them room to pass. I just don't need the aggravation anymore.

Same day, different road. Two lane highway, 55 MPH limit. I notice the Intrigue coming up on the cars behind and passing them. I just watch until "Jr Paris Freakin' Hilton" gets to my bumper. I have a minivan in front of me and we are doing roughly 60MPH with about two cars between us. This girl behind me keeps poking out into the other lane to check traffic so I keep to the right of my lane so she can see around. She finally takes a chance and roars off around both me and the van. I slowed down as I couldn't see if it was clear and wanted a path , just in case.

While nothing happened this time, I envisioned her coming up to the next intersection, known for fatal accidents and crashing. I imagine her Dad having to see his little girl in a bad way. I started to tear up thinking about it. My little girl is just 1 but she will HAVE to drive someday.I just hope that she is not that girl someday.

I have idiots on the road around me most days. I really try hard to not let them bother me anymore.
