As I was driving to work today, I noticed a small gray Hyundai Accent slam on his brakes on the freeway. He was in the fast lane, and he slammed on his brakes because of a tail-gater, or so I assumed. He then pulled to the right and let the four cars that were behind him pass him. He then pulled all the way left into the carpool lane and accelerated past all four cars, pulled in front of them, and slammed on his brakes again. By this time I was flabbergasted. I couldn't believe he was so upset with those drivers that he'd do that to them twice.

I floored it. I'm currently driving a Jeep, which doesn't really have an "acceleration" option. I managed to get up to a significant speed. I was still in slower lane, but traffic was light. I managed to get past the Hyundai and I casually moved to the left. I noticed we were catching a car so I pulled in front, boxed in the Hyundai, and slammed on my brakes. Guy in the Hyundai was not amused, but he appreciated my effort. Gave me the #1 sign then tried to pass me. Now, as I said before, the Jeep doesn't accelerate.... lucky for me, neither do Hyundais. He couldn't catch me. Ultimately I had to get off the freeway, and he tried to follow me, but he gave up.

I feel dirty, yet satisfied. I've never road raged anyone before, and I didn't really do it out of rage. It was more a moment of vigilance.

Okay, CB.... flame away.
