Road Rage on the Freeway!

Road Rage on the Freeway!

I was driving to teach a class today and this very aggressive driver behind me was right on my tail. We were in heavy traffic on the freeway and the traffic was ‘stop and go’. I watched this driver in my rear view mirror come really close to rear-ending me several times. I decided to get out of the way and move lanes and let the car go by me. I pulled into another lane and the car sped past me and then hit the brakes and almost rear ended the next car. I watched the car for several minutes almost rear end this car several more times as we continued in the ‘stop and go’ traffic. There was one moment where I was beside this car and I looked over to see what was going on with the driver. There was a middle-aged woman behind the wheel and she was incredibly angry. She was yelling at the car in front of her. She suddenly noticed me watching her. She stopped yelling and glared at me with ‘daggers’ in her eyes. She then lifted up her arm and gave me the finger and mouthed the words F&%k Yo%! I thought to myself, “Wow! This woman's behavior is crazy.”
