If you didn’t know already, I have a 50-mile commute (one way). I’m sure other people on the road piss you off as much as they do me, probably more, because I’m a little hardened to it. Still every day, there is at least one asshole on the road that makes me realize why it’s illegal to carry a loaded gun in your car. If it were legal, there would be a lot more flat tires on I-5 between Stockton and Sacramento. (Come on now, I wouldn't be shooting people.)
So, no surprise today, there was that guy. He was in his early 20’s at most, wearing a baseball cap with the bill shooting out 45 degrees from center, leaning so far back in the seat of his old Saturn with front end damage that you could see the back of his head through the windows of the rear doors. With only one hand on the steering wheel, he was driving over 90 miles an hour trying to pass the line of cars passing the Semi truck, only to force his way into a spot in the line that previously to small for his car. He made enough poor decisions by changing into the wrong lane that I had passed him 3 times by staying in just the fast lane. When the road cleared up a little, I went up to my usual speed of 80 miles an hour, ahead of him, and he ramped his little Saturn up to over 90 again (it took him a little while), and passed me while we flipped each other off.
Now, I’ve had my fair share of tickets, (I’m guessing, but I think I’ve had about 12 moving violation citations), and I probably deserved each one. But there are people out there who deserve them much more than I do, and just don’t get them. I imagined later, after he was out of my view, that I would see him pulled over, getting a ticket from the California Highway Patrol, and that I would love to honk, while pointing and laughing. But since it had changed to 4 lanes, and I still was in the fast lane, I didn’t notice in time to honk that he WAS PULLED OVER BY THE CHP!!!
AWESOME!!
