Road Rage

[Little Dutch]

I don't actually understand road rage either. When a driver darts across 3 lanes of traffic to make an exit, then decides that wasn't the exit they needed after all and darts back in front of me suddenly going 20 under the speed limit, causing me to lock it up or tactically acquire lane space next to me, I just figure they are 1) an idiot, and 2) having a worse day than I am. I generally just roll with the punches, but I will admit my youngest son learned a new swear word when that exact scenario happened when he was 3.

I saw this happen again on 8/13 at 3:32 PM (according to my dash camera) going northbound at the Nevada exit. I was sure I was going to have to make room in the middle lane without much notice. But this donkey didn't actually make it back into traffic. He took out a road sign and ended up in the grass between the offramp and the interstate. The dash camera shows him cut over and then try to cut back, but it goes out of frame before he hits the sign. I did get to hear myself say "Well, a bad driver never misses his exit" while driving though...

Most traffic related issues are mild inconveniences and are simply not worth getting worked up over. It's a lot cheaper to just laugh (or cuss a little) and move on.
