had to count to ten....
Was driving home after picking up my son from daycare (was in my GMC Envoy, not the Supra), and was driving past a parking lot, when some woman pulls up to the exit and stops. Seing her pull up, I instinctively pull my foot off the gas, and put it over the brake, but not down, thinking "no way is she gonna go, it's suicide.".
So, she goes, pulls a left in front of me, across two lanes of traffic.
I stomp on the brakes, while hitting the horn, and screaming.
I stopped, no lie, with six inches between my front end and her driver door.
She just kept on driving leisurely across the lanes and made her turn, the stopped at the light that was right there.
I actually gripped the wheel to turn the frigging truck around, to drag her out of her car and beat her to a pulp. Stopped myself, because I did have a nine-month-old in the back seat (he slept through the whole encounter, btw).
If I hadn't had my foot over the brake, or had been tuning the radio, or checking my rear view mirror, I absolutely would have killed her.
Had to pull over and sit for five minutes until my blood pressure calmed down.
It's OK if you drive like a monkey and kill yourself, but put my kid in danger and watch out.
