I was driving home this afternoon. Traffic as usual when out of the blue an arguement commenced between two drivers because one driver wanted to enter the lane that i saw was a dangerous manouver. Then began with abuse to other drivers. This held traffic. after it was over and continued on a group of young youths began abuse and keept honking there horn to another car to go faster in a 60zone. Driver had a child in the safety seat. She pulled over so did I and approached her. She was a complete mess! Poor girl. I remained with her for few minutes so she may calm down.She used my mobile to contact her husband. Luckly Ha!Suckers Got there number plate details and reported it to police.
What is wrong with people. We incourage road safety. Yet we have to put up with this kind of behaviour.
DO WE REALLY HAVE TOO? WHY SHOULD WE?

Not to long ago a lady tried to get into the same lane as my mom, but didnt look first and almost ran mom off the road, but then sped off...She didn't stop to see if mom was ok or to apologize. We should not have to put up with this kind of behaviour, though mom did call the cops, they were unable to catch up to this lady. Luckily in your situation, people got the license plate number, but we're not always going to be able to get it. There should be somehtig more that we could do.

I am glad your mum is OK. It is these kind of behaviours not forgetting drink driving, pedestrians etc that cause accidents. rmuxagirl thanks for shareing that with me

What we need is more sensible people and incourage our youngsters to follow safety as when they grow up they may do the same to there kids. So dont be afraid. :-)

We shouldn't have to put up with that kind of behaviour. You did the right thing and how kind of you to go check on that young lady. That is very rare in the world today for people to care about one another.

I must agree it is frustrating and dangerous when the pedestrians walk in the middle of the road. Hey thanks coolme
