Short story: Road users are the worst kind of animals. Driving rage.

Tweet

John was on his way to a Doctor's appointment, when a man, who had probably just dropped his kid off, at the local Catholic school, as he burst out from their gate, in front of John, cut John off, on the main road, to do so. He should have given way to John. He then stopped at the traffic lights, at the crossroads ahead of John. The traffic going straight faced a red light to stop, but he had a green arrow for him to turn left, which he was not doing, although he had his left indicator on, showing that that was his intention. He was oblivious to this green arrow though, and he did not turn, so John tooted him, as a gentle prodder to do so. He then woke up, and turned, and wound down his window, and gave John the finger up sign at him, for tooting him. John was not wanting to upset him, just reminding him that he had the green turn arrow, but he saw red. He then slowed down his car in front of John, so that John had to go slow behind him, until he then gave John the finger again, and sped off through the yellow light on the next intersection, leaving John to have to wait for the now red light to turn green again. John had the decision to toot him, but in future, John has now decided that he will not do this again, as there are so many nutters on the road, full of rage, that he could have even done even worse to John, and followed John home, to intimidate John even more. With marijuana use rife here, he was probably high on that drug too. John made his decision to toot the other driver, partly based on his anxiety to get to his Doctor's appointment on time, partly based on his annoyance at being cut off illegally, but next time, he will just make sure that he leaves a bit earlier, to make allowances for any nutter, that he might meet up with again. The roads are full of more nutters than which an acorn tree loses in Autumn.
