Seem like we live in an angry world today. 

Too many people, living in too close proximity to one another.

I have changed my hot head ways of doing anything that would escalate any driving situations even if I am 100% in the right. Even when I am in the cage!  I now just let it go as the outcome might not be worth the I'm right mindset.

Me and you both brother, it's just not worth it. Some people are bat-crap crazy and will shoot you at the drop of a hat.

Yes.  Keep the blood pressure down and the happy face going.  If you're not having the occasional WTF moments, you aren't riding enough.

Yep. I don't think humans were intended to live in herds. At least I know this one wasn't.

I'm beginning to think as well not worth it to prove you are right,  just too many wacko's out there driving around all crazy. 

Is no longer on the local news, but just this past weekend a 25 year old guy kept ramming his truck into the car in front of him for craps and giggles apparently.  He fled until spike strips were setup and he got caught fleeing the scene since others reported him doing it. 

Last year I passed a car with my scooter putzing at 50 mph in a 55 mph zone.  He got pissy with me and was on my ass about 10 feet behind me doing over 70 mph.  What am I suppose to do?  Slow down and get hit being on 2 wheels?  Stop and hope he stops so I can beat the piss out of him?  Speed up and try to outrun him on my scooter top speed of 76 mph?   

I try my hardest to AVOID all traffic around me in front and behind either passing or slowing down if a long line of cars ahead.  Has served me well so far anyways.

At least the guy is off the road and in jail.

I found a couple videos in the one it's just of the incident and you can hear one of the guys on a bike tells the driver to get out of the car, a second later is when the stuff hits the fan.

Here s another with a phone interview of the guy on the bike.

What a waste...I doubt the car driver had enough insurance to cover the bike and who knows of the bike owner had insurance to cover the damages. I know years ago Florida didn't require bikes to have insurance, I'm not sure what the law is now.
