I get Travis' concern about safety but really how does a possible fender bender compare to the potential damage that car could do to the little ones up ahead? Hopefully the chat with police might leave an impression.. we can hope. You did good.

Vehicles are large, heavy, and deadly. Our responsibility when we get behind the wheel is to obey traffic laws and proceed with care. Those who are choosy with the traffic laws they obey are not our responsibility to interfere with.<br /><br />It's frustrating and frightening when someone is operating outside the rules of the road. They are difficult to anticipate. It's equally frustrating and frightening when someone with good intentions operates outside the anticipated rules of the road in order to "prove a point" to another driver.<br /><br />That is when accidents are likely.Travis Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06192526507760146748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4797176281269170321.post-225725732317211552010-06-11T11:03:13.399-04:002010-06-11T11:03:13.399-04:00Good for you!
