You are always right there to defend speeders. What's up with that?

You get to prove your allegation that I am "always right there to defend speeders". Otherwise your accusation is not credible - it's just another shoot from the lip remark.

However, Frank, you are often deliberately provocative. Am I (or anyone else here) defending Mr. White? Or are you just being the resident provocateur and pot stirrer, as usual?

I still want to know how posting this guy's personal information would be anything but detrimental.

I admit it, I do wish ill towards Mr. White. So sue me.

You know very well I'm not going to. That's another example of baiting those who disagree with you.

So your desire to return an obscene gesture is your personal definition of true justice.

Thank you, Frank! Congratulations! Your statement just confirmed in your own words that personal retribution IS your motive!

You are of the same mindset as Mr. White. Now tell us how that helps anyone, other than you venting your spleen.

Mr. White needs to get feedback from others outside of the lawr enforcement system that they disapprove of his actions. It could be instructive for Mr. White to be on the receiving end of his favorite gestures, perhaps leading to some much needed behavior modification.

You may rightfully wonder, what skin do I have in this? None, down in Florida. However, I have had to endure far, far too many similar encounters with others of Mr. White's ilk. Yes, it's great to pontificate about legality and morality and whatever, but you see, decades of experience with bullys has yielded a fundamental truth: LOGIC and REASON and politely asserting one's rights are completely ineffective and irrelevant when dealing with an emotionally driven psychopath. It seems a dose of their own medicine is a person's best shot at getting their attention.

I want to indite this marketer: Clotaire Rapaille - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

He's given lots of bandwidth in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_and_Mighty_(book) - if you don't buy this book - Google it and Mr Rapaille. He helped give many of the SUVs the hulking menacing look, and made commercials to bring the reptile (or caveman) into buyers to get a bada$$ vehicle. He regretted/envied not having a part in promoting the H2 Hummer. ( Interviews - Clotaire Rapaille | The Persuaders | FRONTLINE | PBS )

His bullseye target buyer is Mr. White.

The first and biggest problem before driving/moddding green psychological - millions buy performance or huge vehicles to be the roadway top dog or to deal with them. If everybody drove nice-looking vehicles to meet their needs without the bling, speed, or hulk, millions of gallons of fuel would be saved daily.

One of the great problems of our age is that we are governed by people who care more about feelings than they do about thoughts and ideas.

....and people like Rapaille exploit those feelings for profit.

Florida's why she's completely blameless. She just says she was standing her ground and it's all done.

Regardless, people are responsible for their own feelings and especially their own actions. Even if the person in the left lane were doing half the speed limit, and we all agreed that she should move over, it is the responsibility of traffic behind her to manage emotions and to safely overtake the vehicle. Any disagreement with this is simply wrong.

The fault for the crash rests 100% on the shoulders of Mr. White. He demonstrated that a safe pass could be completed in the right lane, but choose to act out in anger, completing a second unsafe pass.

Feelings are always 100% the responsibility of the person doing the feeling. There is no action in the world that can make you feel a certain way and then force a reaction.

A Webster's defination is not a legal defination, of course a court would hear the case. The video, just like so many videos posted of "victims" of police brutality, starts 1/2 way or more into the episode. As the lady admits in the posting she had been in front of the truck for 3 minutes. And couldn't get over becuase of the trucks. Maybe is for those 3 minutes she was driving exactly the same speed as the slower truck you see in the video. Then she sped up, started recording, and got her money shot.
Why do you think news agencies blur faces when just recording facts in a public place? Or they get a release from those they filmed.

Frivolous- would never make it to court but even if it did, it would be thrown out immediately.
