Today I was driving on the interstate and came to a point where two interstates merge. (Bebop knows that place well.) It's tricky, and I try to be very careful when I go through there.

I had a car to my left, one behind me and one in front of me. A woman to my right was talking on a cell phone and did not look to see if anyone was in my spot in my lane. She started to hit me in the side and I blew my horn to get her attention so she wouldn't hit me.

She jerked her car back to her lane, then crossed over to my left and proceeded to hold up traffic and drive head to head with me. I slowed down thinking she would pass, she didn't. I tried very hard not to look at her but after a half mile of this, I decided I'd better glance and see if she had a gun. She started pointed her finger at me and cursing me. I tried to speed up to get away from her but I drive a small car and she had a big SUV so that didn't work. She pulled in behind me almost touching my bumper, put on her emergency blinkers and stalked me up the interstate.

I pulled out my cell phone and dialed 911. I was trying to ask the operater what to do and lost signal. The woman must have noticed I was talking on the phone and deduced that I called 911 because she took the closest exit ramp without giving a signal.

Later today I was waiting at a red light and the moment it changed to green the driver behind me sped around me and took off. That happened twice today. I didn't have time to take my foot off the brake to hit the gas before they broke every law around and took off around me.

The woman on the interstate was insane with road rage. I thank God that she apparently didn't have a weapon. (Don't get me wrong, I was raised with fire arms and love to use them, but you don't shoot someone whom you just tried to run over with your SUV.) The two people in the cars that went around me weren't the brightest light bulbs because what they did was so dangerous.

I will never feel safe in my car again.
