it's not just tail gaters or teenage girls, people in General are more aggressive and drive too fast.. merge ,yield and stop signs all mean the same thing to these people " speed up and beat the next guy"
Back in January,
70 year old tree hugger with a man bun in a Subaru forrester decided he could power through the stop sign and my 3/4 ton Silverado... it ended badly for him - I only needed a new Passenger side bed outer skin - officer at the scene said to me, I guess he should have picked on someone his own size, I drove off, his went on a flat beds, it's probably a tuna fish can now.
just this morning, honda driven by and "older" woman ran right through the stop light at an apartment complex , I had a green light ( for ahwile, it had not just turned).. she never slowed down or had any intention of stopping BUT she was in front of me..had I been going above the speed limit, I Tee bone her for certain.
we all can tell war stories about this for hours, people in general dont give a rats arse about anyone but themselves.. and it shows in how they drive. and as far as giving them a one finger salute or blowing the horn and any other "retaliation" goes.. I dont . in this day and age where human life means so little to some, doing so my get you a bullet .
