the best "road revenge" i've ever seen was a common practice in this area in the '70s.....my Dads' best friends' Dad started the craze.

everyone w/a pickup-truck mounted strong (probably a billion candlepower) spotlights on their rear bumper, and when someone started tailgaiting, "click" went the dash mounted toggle switch...ERRRRRKKK went the tailgaiters brakes/tires.

I still see them mounted as such occasionally, though the local Police tend to frown upon the practice.

Now that's tempting! [thumbup] I do hate me some tailgaters! I generally slow down to a crawl to pi$$ them off. But this is so much better! Now where are those Perlux fog lights I had in the 70s? [biggrin]

Maybe the person that caused the wreck was on their cell and the guy was like, "this f'ing cell is the cause of it all...learn to not talk and text/talk."

 

I'd never do that but if I were on the receiving end of his attack...I'd $h1t my pants.

As I understand it, the person in the grey car was talking on a cell phone and tried to make the left, across traffic, NEARLY causing an accident. The driver that she almost hit, got out and grabbed her cell phone and smashed it on the ground.

No further details, but much applause from someone nearly run over in just these circumstances.

Cell phone use in vehicles here can draw hefty fines for a first offense and from then on they get astronomical for subsequent infractions.Even the preceding premier of the province was fined a few years ago for using his cell while driving.If you cause a crash while talking on a cell the fines can be as stiff or even stiffer than if you were impaired.The fines for cell phone use while and impaired driving will never be high enough to suit my liking.After working in a rehabilitation center and with disabled children and adults for over 30 years I have seen first hand way way too many times the long lasting effects and injuries that drunk drivers have inflicted on innocent people and all too rarely on themselves.In all too many car crashes the people who survive are hardly the "lucky" ones, often people are left in permanent vegetative states.People using cell phones are now adding to the catastrophes and death toll on our highways.Even though the drunk driving rates have dropped considerably over the past few years crashes involving cell phone use have kept the statistics for bloodshed on our highways very high.

Are you still working with the children at the center?

Do any of them play, or want to learn to play the guitar?

I donate a lot of toys and such for the cancer ward here at CHOC hospital So Ca. and have donated a couple of guitars.

I have a 3/4 scale nylon string guitar that they can have if you think some of the children would like it.

If so, send me a PM and we will work out the details.
