I'm amazed how upset and rude people are today.....from driving to throwing trash on the ground to not holding doors for others to disrespecting other people's belonging and feelings. Everyone today wants to be some harda$$. This "MTV" society has also eliminated the work hard and smart ethic that some still hold onto. It's ashame....but I dont dwell on those things because there are still many nice things to appreciate.

To the ones holding their cool.....nicely done.

Drive Safe!

Me too! Finger lakes area of NY or south of Rochester - within a few years, as long as the real estate market doesn't crash too badly around here...

I didnt experience this, as much as watch it. Was headed through Kentucky back in May 05 when i was driving a truck for Schnieder. A McDonalds truck was in the left lane on the interstate, and a meat wagon with lights and siren on was coming fromt he rear. the driver moved over as soon as he passed some old beater car. The lady in the car seems to have gottened mad. the ambulance pasted by and there she went, straight around to pass the truck, jumped in front of the guy, locked her brakes up, and it didnt end to friendly. Truck hits car, both slide into a bridge abutment, beater bursts into flames. Nobody made it out alive. The driver of the truck, the lady, and two kids. Was not the way to start a day, having to tell a Kentucky officer what happened to hear the firefighters say there were two kids in the back. Road rage is stupid, and if not getting people hurt, it kills.
