LadyZ: Not that it's necessarily AS bad as where you live (I know it's worse in places here), but just so you'll know. It's getting bad
everywhere. My story was only ONE of the worst that has happened. Even in the "little town" of Newnan, GA - 30 or so miles away from Atlanta - there are crazies all over here. They cut me off and then cuss ME out, they try to run me off the road, one guy even got out of his truck and started walking back to our car! (Fortunately on that one, my husband worked for the County Corrections Facility and flashed his badge - the guy IMMEDIATELY got back in his truck AND buckled up!! heeheehee My husband had NO powers of arrest, but that badge was enough to make him back off!
Then, I pretended to get on my cell phone (because we were both still going the same way and he kept looking in his rear view mirror) - at the next light, he PULLED OVER!!!
OMG! I thought I'd die! He watched us go past and he must have been SO mad! He apparently thought we were calling him in to "headquarters" and going to pull him over plain clothes-style!)
Larry, I too used to get revenge (in exactly the same way). I try not to give in to it anymore because this road rage thing is getting to be way too scary, but it does feel good when you pace someone long enough to really tick off an obnoxious driver! (bad DM. bad, bad DM - must 'pank!)

"Allright! We'll call it a draw."
"I'm INVINCIBLE! ... You're a LOONEY!"
Dare to dream. Be bold enough to try.
