To the Driver with liscence # 771 EZL (silver car.)

I would sincerely like to thank you for trying to kill my husband, my newborn and myself tonight while we were driving home on the ring road from the North End of Regina to the East End. It is ok...I really don't like my life anyways....
OH....I'm sorry...this sounds really SARCASTIC.
Here is what happened...you make up your mind if you think this is out of line....

It is 9PM, and Kendal and I were driving home after having coffee with my grandson, and his parents at Second Cup. There was no traffic on the road, and we were driving 90 in the right hand lane. All of a sudden out of NO WHERE this car who had been passing us on the left cut directly in front of us, with less then 5-10 feet to spare. NO kidding. Fortunatly I slowed down fast enough to avoid hitting him...(or the ditch) which would have been pleasant going 90.....
Now I am upset, so we follow the guy...who by the way stayed just above what I was driving right ahead of me....and he heads to the East End and stops at the light...

At this point Kendal gets out...(oh-oh) and walks up to the driver...and says.."Why did you cut us off? You almost killed us, and our new born is in the car....." Get this....The guy says...."You should have been going faster. The speed limit is 100 on the Ring Rd"....This is the point where Kendal loses his temper....and says"you tried to kill us because you thought we weren't going fast enough for you?"

WOW. Ok....anger management people.....I really don't get how someone would want to kill another driver on the road...over 10 km......

I am feeling VERY fortunate tonight that we didn't have an accident, and that God looked out for us....but I am also very angry that people have become so inconsiderate of other people...that if things don't go EXACTLY their way that they need to respond in such anger....

Has anyone of you reading out there found that in the last couple of years there is more road rage then there used to be? Let me know...

And to the driver of the car with the above lisence #...I know that you will probably never read this...but if you do....SHAME ON YOU.

Yep there's some idiots out there! I picked Lauren up on Friday night to go to Shine and going down 1st Ave North to get to Lewvan, someone with their trunk flapping was driving down the middle of both lanes! I didn't want to follow cuz wasn't sure how secure his load was but even after honking my horn he didn't clue in to TWO lanes! I might have been the impatient one in this scenario but HELLO - watch where you're going!!! Glad you are all safe though - very maddening!
