    no he, she, lol. She wasn't broken down and if she had been I would have asked if she needed help but she was just on her phone not paying attention to the world around her.

    Guy in a f350 drove through a stop sign yesterday talking on the phone and I had to brake pretty hard to not hit him. He got about a 7 Mississippi honk from me and some gestures to the effect of "HANG UP THE FUCKING PHONE AND OPEN YOUR EYES!!"

    People who take a second at a fresh green usually only warrant a quick honk and they give a wave and move on. If they get upset, screw em. You know they have a miserable and unhappy life.

    You know now days most people are on their phones. I give a little more than a quick beep. If that doesnt work then i lay into it. If they get pissy i try to ignor them to not progress the situation. If they get really irratated i take lic # and call 911.

    wow .. you would really waste the 911 dispatchers time because you are scared of a little road rage..

    They have a non emergency line to use instead.. please learn it..

    Thats what i meant. But if the other person pursued the situation to a road rage point and i felt in danger then yes i would. But most people justlook up and move on thru the light.

    911 is not for road rage. 911 is emergency.

    Dont trigger the road rage and you wont be scared.

    There are soooo many inconsiderate people driving now days. They dont care about the other drivers. Aways in a hurry and do what it takes to reach their destination. I care about getting there alive.

    Had the same thing happen to me two days ago. The woman wouldn't make her right turn with the light green. Waited until it was red and then proceeded to run up over the curb and nearly hit a telephone pole.

    This is why we need annual aptitude tests for stupid drivers.

    Sometimes, I feel like there should be aptitude tests for just about everything in life. Want to have kids, take this test. Want to own a dog, take this test. Might cut down on the people who leave their kids and dogs in 100+ degree cars while they go into the nice cool mall and shop for 6 hours.

    I don't think you did anything wrong in this situation.
    The only times I'm quick on the horn is when the person in front is clearly looking down at their cell phone or when they're taking their sweet time on a quick changing, protected left turn signal. I try not to use my horn too often as there are too many chemically imbalanced people on the road.

    Lolz. I don't think that many people leave their kids in the car for 6 hours. Maybe 2 or 3 but 6 is pushing it.
