To the other person in an SC300 on 87N this morning (black/dark green with California tags "CHER OZ"):

Flashing your brights at me to get me to yield the fast lane is fine. However, it resulted only in you tailgating the guy in front of me. I watched you proceed in this fashion for quite a while in your Quest to Be In Front (TM). You may have realized later the futility of this endeavor when, 5 miles up the highway, I was one car behind you at the stoplight.

Also, I don't recommend tailgating in general, or in 87N commute traffic in particular, as leaving a gap the width of a gnat's butt between you and the next vehicle is not conducive to avoiding a collision at 40mph when the other person brakes suddenly (which you probably noticed was pretty common).

Y'all are making me and other SC drivers look bad.

I'm curious as to the meaning of your license plate, "CHER OZ". Is that a creative spelling of "shiraz"? You might want to drink less of that before you get behind the wheel in the mornings. Thanks.

 

LMFAO nothing to add except .

 

we have a poet on the forum

 

werd.

 

Preach on brother!!!! I think the license plate is supposed to say "Cheerios"

 

RIght on. For situations similar to yours, I'd like to have one of those gizmos that consists of a boxing glove attached to a spring, installed in the rear bumper, only to be unleased at the touch of a button to smash a tailgater's hood. Your rational reaction, however, is probably much safer.

 

LOL that's an interesting way to get to an arrogant motorist

 

When people are pissing me off behind me, I just spray them with my windshield wiper fluid

 

That's exactly what my friend does, esp. while driving on highways. Ironically he's a born-again Christian but that's another story

 

Ah, a Methodist, I see . . . conducting a baptism. Baptists have been working on a suitable "full immersion" technique for highway baptism since the days of Phillip (Acts 8:36-39) - with little practical success.

 

how about paint ball guns..

 

Hehe, let's not get into sharing "road rage" tips please
