EXCUSE ME FOR OBEYING THE LAW

I don't want this blog to be a bitch-fest, but sometimes I just have to vent! I have found lately that many drivers have no tolerance for people who want to drive safely. Yes, I commit my share of boneheaded driving mistakes, but the majority of the time I consider myself a proficient driver. Anyway, as I was traveling to work yesteday, I stopped at a yellow light that was just about to turn red. This was at a particular intersection where people constantly run the red light, so I'm always careful there. By habit I usually look in my rear-view window when I stop, and I noticed this Volkwagen heading toward my BRAND NEW CAR at a high rate of speed. The car came to a stop within inches of my bumper, and I could see the driver gnashing her teeth and flipping her hands in the air. I could tell she was yelling --at me! I just watched her with amusement and mouthed, "Excuse me for obeying the law!". She was pissed that I didn't run the yellow light so she could run the red light! And, just the other day, some lady flipped me off after she almost hit me--while she was running a stop sign! Excuse me for not thinking to stop when I had no stop sign!
