A Puke with a * sticker almost crashed into me today. Seemed deliberate.
He was changing lanes and barely missed hitting me. Of course he did not signal. I honked and he drove on. But each time I changed lanes to get away from the Puke he would change into my lane and get in front of me again. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but my car has a Kerry/Edwards sticker. The good news is that a red light stopped the Puke and I moved ahead of him, far enough that he finally disappeared from sight. Life as metaphor.

1. I had something similar happen last week
I was making a U- turn on a green light when a person
did not yield on their red light light to make their
turn . I had to brake hard not hit them , sure enough
a w04 sticker on the back of their car . I guess they didn't
like my "Kerry's A Hero Bush's A Zero" messege on the front
of my car . :shrug:

3. Could be the sticker.
Or could be that his initial move was unintentional, but when you horned him you pissed him off, and that caused him to act like a douchebag for awhile.

5. I horned him to try and get him to move! I did not want to be hit.
It was the natural and rational thing to do. Any sane person would recognize that. Of course.....

6. I have an anti-Bush sticker..................
and several times since I put it on, have had nasty hostile drivers act up and cut me off, tailgate, etc for no discernible reason. Some have BC stickers, some not.

7. Happened to me twice, now
Both times in the same location but different cars and drivers. Once my husband was driving and once I was alone. Both times the cars were passing us, which shouldn't be a problem. There's plenty of room - two lanes each way and a turn lane in between. Both time the car came so close it almost sideswiped our car. Both times the car had a Bush/Cheney sticker. Our car has three different Kerry stickers and an AAR sticker. I don't think it's paranoia. We're on that road every day. We've lived here for over 30 years and it's not an every day occurance. You have to go out of your way to be an asshole for it to happen on that road.

9. The road I was on was a peaceful city lane with very little traffic.
Like your experience, this person had to go out of his way to be offensive. I've noticed the threatening looks etc. have recently escalated.

8. Stories like yours
along with stories of freeper thuggery, lawn sign theft, etc., make it easier to fathom how Nazism was able to take hold in an apparently "advanced" country just 70 years ago.

12. Yes, I can envision Democrats herded together and being forced to wear
donkey arm bands. I would say this was :crazy: except for the reality in front of my eyes!

10. To be perfectly fair ...
We were in Mr. Nownow's car last night, the one with the Kerry-Edwards sticker, and we came up behind a guy in a big leisure yacht of a SUV with a W04 sticker. I said, "hey, you know what you ought to do? Just accelerate enough to get the Kerry sticker in his line of sight and drive just ahead of him."

So we did. Now, there wasn't any traffic, we didn't harrass him or block him in the lane or anything -- just drove ahead of him in the other lane where he could see the stickers. I just thought somebody like that deserved to know how the other half feels, I guess. Nothing illegal (well, except we did have to go a bit faster than the speed limit for five or ten seconds), nothing impolite. He didn't respond, either, so it was harmless. Made us feel good, though.

11. The next time that happens
pick up your cell phone and dial 911.

what he did is a crime. report the road you're on, his license plate number, anything else you can.

don't take matters into your own hands. call the police and tell them that this guy is repeatedly trying to run you off the road.

maybe the fucker needs to spend some time in jail.

13. Good point. I live in a liberal town, so I might actually get a response
from the police. I bet they're being confronted with this situation daily.
