Honk and the finger

Boy it's been awhile but I got a honk and the finger the other day. Traveling down a divided street speed limit 40 slowing from 45 when it funnels down to a 90 degree 2 lane road. I hit the turn at about 15 mph, start accelerating and the guy that been on my bumper for the last half mile romps on it, passes me on a blind turn. and gives the bird. 1.5 miles later we are sitting at the same light and I wave and smile where he promptly does a illegal U turn.

I still don't get it. This guy could of killed someone to save 30 seconds not even taking into account the amount of extra fuel that is used in these kind of operations. If only we would think of the big picture.

It will be interesting to see as gas prices climb if this behavior becomes less and less. While you're driving out there see if more folks follow you in the slow lane.
