This would fall under "turn the other cheek."<BR/><BR/>Charles,<BR/>Ha! Good one!<BR/><BR/>Danette V.,<BR/>SpitMan--why didn't I think of that!<BR/><BR/>Angela,<BR/>My dad was very impressed with Orlando's traffic. He used to think it was bad when he could count eight cars at the red light in his small town.<BR/><BR/>Ello!<BR/>Your comment was most astute! With your new avatar, I would never pull my van in front of you!<BR/><BR/>Courtney,<BR/>I remember when road rage was the BIG news in LA, and how influenced people could be by TV--I began to feel like ducking whenever I passed a Sunday driver.<BR/><BR/>Stephen,<BR/>Talk about scary! I know someone who did the same thing, and oddly enough, four or five college girls got out of a truck and circled her. Were it not for a man running out of his house to check on the disturbance, she would have been in big trouble.<BR/><BR/>Wayne,<BR/>Ha! It's Ford's fault. There's sure to be a class action suit coming soon.<BR/><BR/>Brenda,<BR/>Hotheads roasting o'er a busy road . . . (okay, lame, but the best I could do)<BR/><BR/>Mary,<BR/>It would be absolutely frightening to witness an assault. That's one good moment for a cell phone.Danette Haworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13220718895967380788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084768152849313070.post-88299360030275391312007-12-01T16:07:00.000-05:002007-12-01T16:07:00.000-05:00Funny story!

No one who belonged in it would go anywhere near it, of course, but it's still a satisfying thought.<BR/><BR/>I once saw a man beat up a woman who had remonstrated with him for cutting in front of her. It was one of the scariest things I've ever seen, and it made me think twice about speaking out in similar situations.

They fanned out across a parking lot where I had stopped to shop and methodically searched for my car. Fortunately I had decided to sit in the car for a few minutes before entering the store, and I saw them coming.<BR/><BR/>Now when I visit the States I keep my mouth shut and my fingers to myself.Stephen Parrishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16883165490847664389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084768152849313070.post-63055347124960468612007-12-01T01:02:00.000-05:002007-12-01T01:02:00.000-05:00Exciting and scary!

Sounds like he's got a lot of issues. I remember when Road Rage was a big thing on the news and catching snippets of an incident where one driver threw the other driver's DOG into oncoming traffic. Some people should just not be let out of the house.courtney summershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12063267291075412469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084768152849313070.post-73532948773741794882007-11-30T22:26:00.000-05:002007-11-30T22:26:00.000-05:00See - more assholes!

I have to say though that Orlando traffic is nothing to mess with.

Van Man was in the right, but he should've let it go (ie not do the British sign language).
