You are three cars behind the intersection at a stoplight headed southbound [View all]

a vehicle pointed westbound who wants to go southbound exiting a driveway wants to cross over and get in front of you. There is no oncoming northbound traffic.

what do you do:

1. stop, make a hole, let the guy in

2. be like the person behind you and start honking, then pull up along side and call you:

a. fat
b. retarded
c. ugly
d. a litany of abusive language.

Once the woman paused after her road rage fit, I calmly asked her if she had ever heard of the concept of "courtesy."

Wow, just wow.
