That&#39;s when cars drive through!&quot;&#160; he made me repeat myself and I had.&#160; He gave me a dirty look and shrugged and walked away before I could say more.&#160; The car in back of me honked.&#160; I wanted to shout &quot;see, this jerk behind me would prefer I mow you over!&quot;</p><p>He saw me come to a halt and took it for granted that I would remained stopped and not play &quot;stop&quot; and &quot;go&quot; as he momentarily paused.&#160; I know how some people would stop, then go, and then stop until they gave up or the kid... But I don&#39;t take those chances.&#160; I see someone, I stop.&#160; At times when I&#39;ve crossed, I&#39;ve danced that dance with people.</p><p>Later that day, I was driving my mom through a residential section.&#160; this particular street is one lane, bidirectional, and this asshole decided to pass me and blow through a few stop signs. A guy like this wouldn&#39;t have stopped for that kid.&#160; A guy like this could have easily killed a person or a family.&#160; This asshole, the only and most important person that will ever matter in this universe is him.&#160; I understand &quot;road rage&quot; to an extent, I&#39;d never succumb to it but I understand why it exists.&#160; I think there are way to many cases of it where someone made an innocent mistake and someone else who has anger management issues makes it &quot;newsworthy&quot;... Aside from those, I think some of us have more than valid reasons to be enraged with others.</p><p>I personally couldn&#39;t live with myself if I acted as the driver that passed me did and I was responsible for killing someone.&#160; I would go fucking nuts and I just can&#39;t fathom why there are douche bags like this out there that simply refuse to give a fuck and I wish there was something I could do to get these fuckers off the streets and get their licenses burned.<br /> </p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://bouche.vox.com/library/post/argh-stop.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00c225230773549d00f48d046e440001?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> driving horrible drivers
