Road Rage

I'm not saying that I condone it... just that I understand. People do some really stupid stuff on the road.  Combine stupid driving actions with snow/ice and you have a deadly combination.  This morning, a woman decided she needed to jump in front of me at a short distance.  There were no cars behind me.  I was wondering why she could not simply wait for me to pass.   The roads were slick.  She could have easily lost control and then hit me as a result. I was in the car talking (ok, yelling) to myself during and after her foolish driving.  
 
Another crazy driver decided to jump into a snow/slush filled lane at a high speed. I was in the center lane hoping and praying he wouldn't slide on the snow and hit me.  With a bit of maneuvering on his part, he was able to stabilize his vehicle in that one lane.  Meanwhile, I was preparing to minimize whatever collision may have occured.
 
Slow down people.  You'll get there when you get there.  In the meantime, don't ruin someone else's day by being in a rush and causing an unnecessary accident.  Now you are late anyway, and you dragged a complete stranger into your madness.
