Is it any wonder road rage happens.
So tonight I am making my monthly trek to DE and back. Going up wasn't much trouble but coming back was an adventure.
So we are on RT2 coming back and we had made it most of the way to where RT 2 joins RT 4. About 6 miles from the intersection we are in a line of traffic going about 45 in the blowing rain and road mist cruising along, minding our own business. I have about a 20 foot cushion in front of the line of 5 cars in front of me. We get to a spot where a short turn lane begins on the right for a road that enters RT 2. I glance up and see headlights closing from the rear FAST. The guy veers right onto the deceleration lane for the right turn and instead of slowing and turning, he speeds up. He runs all the way through the deceleration/turn lane and onto the shoulder and starts flinging mud then starts jamming left in front of me except he has not cleared my front end. This all happens in about 3 seconds and when he sees a sign on a post he yanks it over into the space that is not there in front of me. I have to jam the brakes, anti lock pulsing, I have to swerve to miss. As my fender goes over into the northbound lane and headlights appear I detect the smell of poo in the air. finally I slow enough to yank it back into my lane as the oncoming car passes by.
So this imaptient dickhead passes me on the right, cuts me off, causes me to veer into on coming traffic or get turned and flip down the road into oncoming traffic. All with his business name and phone number neatly lettered across his back window. So after blowing the horn for 3 full minutes and lighting him up with the brights I call and relay his info and plate to the Calvert Sheriff. So when we get onto RT 4 while on the phone with the CCSD he takes off weaving traffic going about 80 and almost causes another wreck.
