That wasn't the issue for me. It was the fact that she knew she was pissing him off.... blueamy66 Mar 2014 #1

Well, yes, but that's not what I'm addressing. MineralMan Mar 2014 #2

I understand that. blueamy66 Mar 2014 #4

According to the woman who video taped him, he was tailgating for several minutes Travis_0004 Mar 2014 #27

It's a surface street. There is no fast lane. MineralMan Mar 2014 #40

It sure got people's backs up in the case of that Florida MineralMan Mar 2014 #54

I was going to say, apparently they do. kcr Mar 2014 #61

I don't blame her--she was going along at a good clip, and how could she pull over MADem Mar 2014 #65

She's a moron. blueamy66 Mar 2014 #84

You speak of her as if you know her. I think she comes off as a nice person--the CBS interview MADem Mar 2014 #87

Yes we will. blueamy66 Mar 2014 #88

Wow. MADem Mar 2014 #90

Thanks for posting that. kcr Mar 2014 #85

Thanks, blueamy. I do my best to drive safely. It's important to me especially KittyWampus Mar 2014 #9

I do too. And I choose my battles. blueamy66 Mar 2014 #16

I don't necessarily fault her for that kcr Mar 2014 #28

That's exactly my perception as well. Isn't it funny how different people can see the same video MADem Mar 2014 #69

Isn't that odd? I saw it very differently. MADem Mar 2014 #60

We'll have to disagree. blueamy66 Mar 2014 #68

Yes, I guess we will have to do that. MADem Mar 2014 #70

Well, they can just give me the finger as they pass me, MineralMan Mar 2014 #19

The people who tailgate and flip off those who annoy them... lumberjack_jeff Mar 2014 #46

Wow. blueamy66 Mar 2014 #51

Anyone who defends tailgaters needs serious help REP Mar 2014 #72

And anyone that users those terms to describe blueamy66 Mar 2014 #86

Meh. I do know that because I'm not a road raging asshole, the help I WON'T need is a tow truck. nt lumberjack_jeff Mar 2014 #92

Stop riding bumpers and you won't get called those any more REP Mar 2014 #96

She is obviously guilty of leaving the scene of an accident. alphafemale Mar 2014 #20

What if the guy was seriously injured? blueamy66 Mar 2014 #22

She gives not a damn. I bet she did the "I'm not touching you" game alphafemale Mar 2014 #25

she didn't drive away. you should watch the video and read the article again. spanone Mar 2014 #35

The people uninvolved in one-car accidents are entitled to leave. lumberjack_jeff Mar 2014 #24

Good. lumberjack_jeff Mar 2014 #29

That's not how insurance works. blueamy66 Mar 2014 #31

So her insurance rates should go through the roof as well, no? blueamy66 Mar 2014 #37

She's not a road rager. She's laughing at a fool and his busted truck. n/t lumberjack_jeff Mar 2014 #53

No, as the video will show... blueamy66 Mar 2014 #56

No, she played the game. blueamy66 Mar 2014 #83

I despise these left lane "hall monitors" of the road. alphafemale Mar 2014 #33

"15 straight minutes"? lumberjack_jeff Mar 2014 #34

You've never been taunted by an underling? alphafemale Mar 2014 #36

"underling"? Is this how you see other motorists? lumberjack_jeff Mar 2014 #48

The 15 minutes was obviously a reference to younger sibling torture. alphafemale Mar 2014 #64

The real-time video is less than three minutes long. MineralMan Mar 2014 #41

You're describing the bumper riding tailgater REP Mar 2014 #77

No she didn't. You can see her pulling over in the video after the crash n/t kcr Mar 2014 #30

That would have been Nebraska Ave or FL ave if it had merged together.. glowing Mar 2014 #32
