Today, A driver cut off another driver to get behind me, then started to charge my car. Well...actually more like she would speed up, slow down, flash her lights speed up slow down then right when there was another car next to me, she cut between us and cut me off then slowed down and took the rest of the 101 @ 60mph...
Now...why? What would really posses a person to drive or act so recklessly? Hi, people died here a week ago! Nothing is more tragic then loosing somebody your close to and when your in that situation there is nothing you can wish for more then to have that person back! Yet, why is it so hard for some people to remember or understand that? That pure inability to think about other people is what DRIVES me nuts!
