Yesterday we got hit by our first nor'easter of the season. Pouring rain, wind, etc. I'm on my way home from work in this downpour, *at night*, when some @$$hole decides he feels like tailgating me. Now, I was driving rather more cautiously than usual because of the rain, but I wasn't exactly creeping along at 20mph either. So what does Impatient Boy do? Flashes his high beams, whips around me, cuts me off, and slams on his brakes in an attempt to get me to rear-end him. Thank God for ABS and quick reflexes or I would have rear-ended him and/or fishtailed. Not that it helped him... the next car up *was* doing 20mph.
Oh, and his back window was so full of cr@p that there was no way he could possibly see what was behind him.
Why is it that drivers don't understand the basic concepts of *slow down* and *do not tailgate* in bad weather??? Or, keep a clear line of sight for your rear-view mirror??? Did these people even take driving lessons, or did they just sleep with someone at the DMV to get their licenses???
&#%!@^ bad drivers!!
