1-800-How's My Driving?

So I've been thinking lately about how aggressive drivers are out there. In particular I find women to be the biggest offenders. Everytime I see a very aggressive or sporadic driver it is either a woman or a school age boy. It's rediculous. Now overall I think I am a good driver, however I do have my days when I think "Wow! I really just need to pull over and stop driving for the day!" I wonder if these people ever get that same feeling? So today I was driving the boys to my parents house and I was on the thruway and there was this one car (a white lexus SUV) that was a pain in the ass. I was set on cruise control and this person would fall way back and then speed up etc etc. They were in the far left lane which made everyone else have to pass on the right. When I got in the far right they pulled into teh middle and I continued to see them pull up and slow way down. Now it was a very windy day and the cars were bieing blown all over the place. At one point the road closes down to 2 lanes again and I see this Lexus speed way up to keep the person on their left from merging ahead of them. Well the little red car sped up more nad did get ahead and they passed me too. All of a sudden I saw little red swerving and go veering off the road. There was only one car in front of me between me and little red. I kept thinking thank god they went off the road b/c I thought there was going to be no way to avoid his being out of control. Let me tell you...Jacob descibed it best. He said "Oh mommy car flying. Car fall. Car broken." This car flipped at least 4 times including side over side and front over back. When it hit, it bounced through more rolls. I pulled over and called 911 and I am pretty sure I saw the guy walking around out of his car. I couldn't get out b/c I had two babies to think of.
Oh and the white Lexus, when I caught up with her again was balancing her checkbook or something while driving. IDIOT!!!

Nice.

Not that this really has anything to do with the red sports car but I saw this HUGE Yukon swerving in and out of traffic on our main highway at about 80-90 miles an hour. Now I drive an SUV too and I can tell you that some SUVs deserve to flip because the drivers aren't respecting their vehicle's ability to perform. Sadly or thankfully nothing happened to him or any other cars that day but if he continues driving like that I'm sure it's only a matter of time...
