Just saw on the news: In Laval a passenger killed a man for giving a sarcastic thumbs up!!!! In Montreal (I think) a couple of teens killed a kid because he threw a snowball at the car!!!!

What in the (H.E. double hockey sticks) is going on in the world today??? I'm starting to feel affraid when I'm on the road today!! Next time when someone is pi$$ed off at me. I will just let it go and watch out for a gun in the opposing car!

What can you do if someone is pi$$ed at you because your going the limit, they pass you and point a gun at you?? do you RAM the car on its side in the hopes that he will drop his gun?? SLAMN on the brakes, go behind his car and RAM him off the road. Put the truck on 4x4 and see if his car will stay stuck in a ditch???

I wonder if their will be courses in the near future for this type of driving?? Judo-Driving!!! Man! this is freaky stuff. I guess you should prepare yourself mentaly for this type of situation so if/when it happens you will have a more level head and be able to think through this instead of paniking and getting killed!!!

I use to be an automatic "extend the middle finger" type of driver when another ticked me off.But in the last year or two I just let that crazy stuff go,its not worth it anymore.My wife is still a screaming maniac at other drivers,usually I just shake my head and move on.Yeah it can p!ss a person off to be cut off or almost slammed by a disrespectful driver,but today,it certainly isn't worth your life.Just an opinion...

You should at least carry your gun in your vehicle so that it will be a fair gunfight.

Just kidding - - - I think.

I believe throwing objects(snowballs or whatever) at moving vehicles in this state is a felony. I don't know the circumstances of that incident but if someone threw an object capable of breaking glass at me while traveling 65-70 on the expressway I would show little concern for their life. Shooting...most likely no...beating within one inch of their life...would probably try...er...ah...I mean I would subdue the offender if possible.

Kids are really out of control today.

Here is what is circulating where I work:

SPUNKBALL WARNING:
I just wanted to warn all of my friends about something that has been occuring more and more lately, all through out the country.
Groups of teenagers have been caught, in alarming numbers, playing a new
and dangerous game called Spunkball. Spunkball consists of a group of teens in a car pulling up to a stop light, and looking around for a car stopped near by with an open window. When one is spotted, the teens
shout, "Spunkball", and throw a gasoline soaked rag that has been wrapped in
aluminum foil through the open window. On the outside of the foil is attatched a small fire cracker, with the fuse lit. When the fire cracker explodes, it shreds the foil, and the rag is ignited, causing a large
flame that may catch the interior of the car on fire.
Spunkball playing has already claimed two lives, caused uncountable injuries due to burns, and caused thousands of dollars in damage to automobiles.
The best defense, say authorities, is to keep all windows rolled up when stopped at traffic lights, as only cars with windows down are being targeted.
If you are at a redlight and hear a shout of "Spunkball", and notice something come flying in your window, the best thing to do is to have all passengers immediatly exit the vehichle. DO NOT try to retreive the
object, as it will ignite once the fire cracker explodes.

Sounds to me like a warning I saw in Casa Grande, Ariz. last year.
Kids are playing "chicken", or some such sick clone.
Drive along a road - guy coming your way has "BRIGHTS" on. You "dip" him, & they chase you (guy with brights) & try to run you off the road.

I dunno - speaks well for Harry Calahagn!!!

I am NOT encouraging roar rage but even Batman has his momenets. Trying to stop crime in rush hour traffic.

 

I drive on the freeway every day (its not free though), I just relax and drive. I try not to be in a hurry, if someone wants to cut in front of me fine, its really no big deal, and its not worth getting all pissed off and getting work or home mad.

PS. I do have NRA stickers on my truck and my explorer.
