I have just one road rage story that I caused.

My friend had just died and we were in the funeral procession. The police motorcycles were stopping traffic for us. He was in the military so there were a bunch of cars. I was about 1/4 way back..but close enough to see the front of the line. People are pulling over for us, which is appreciated.

Then, in front of me, some 90 year old lady decides that she doesn't want to wait anymore and pulls out in front of me. Now, at first I was fine with it. I figured that she would just turn somewhere. But no. Instead she decides that she is going to go about 10 miles an hour and stop and look at random stuff.

I start to get frustrated. All the while, I'm thinking of my friend who was one of the most calm people ever. So i'm trying hard not to let it get to me.

We end up getting way back, to where I can't even see the car that was in front of me before. And I don't really know where I'm going and there is about 100 cars behind me. So this lady stops at a cross walk to let someone walk. In retrospect, she did the right thing. But at that moment I was so pissed because all I was thinking about is this lady is ruining my friend's funeral.

I lay on the horn. Scared the hell out of the lady walking. Some construction workers started walking over yelling at me. I told them to STFU...we are in a funeral procession and my friend just died and this bitch won't move.

This was 4 years ago. It still gets me a little angry when I think about it.

The most dangerous perople on the road are old people. I swear, cops should treat old people that drive too slow, drive over the lines, and turn their Buick LeSabre like an 18' UHaul like DUI suspects - pull them over and subject them to field vision and awareness tests. If they fail, fine them and revoke their license.
