^ My dad got rear ended twice in one year, and my co-worker got rear ended as well. With my co-worker's accident, it was a tween who was probably too busy texting on his phone.

I just got my front bumper redone with a fresh layer of clear bra last week, and I'm quite paranoid about people carelessly cutting in front while being inches away from my front bumper. My rear bumper was scraped from a careless lane changer last Fall on a different street... at the red light!

The driver from this morning pulled this move on me about 2 weeks ago. I didn't do anything crazy other than revving it up a bit in 2nd and 3rd while coasting (30-35 MPH) behind him to work, but hearing the car made me feel better. There's plenty of room to cut him off, but I preferred not to.

Then over a week ago I was behind a truck on the left lane, and we were going the limit. Some lady approached behind me, switched over and drove next to me for a couple of blocks. At the last minute, she sped up and wedged herself between us (inches away from my bumper) causing me to hit the brakes. I switched over and ended up cutting both vehicles at full throttle. I didn't have intentions of cutting the truck, but I was angry and was a bit careless. It was a bad morning and I lost it.

Then there's the occurrence from this morning posted from the same driver of 2 weeks ago.

This sort of problem happens quite frequently when I drive to work on this road. Several months ago I saw an old truck approaching fast on the right lane. Carelessly curious, I gave it a go in 3rd. The driver still managed to cut me off, and my speedo was approaching 70 MPH!

I try my best to keep cool [sigh]. Basically I have to be extra cautious on this road. Perhaps it's time to invest in a pair of high dB horns? Haha.
