Talk about your road rage!I was perusing the national news online and not one,but TWO major stories involved idiots endangering themselves and other drivers because they cannot control their tempers.....Read on.
LINCOLN, Neb. - A driver who threw an axe at another motorist, wounding him, has been sentenced to 37 days in jail. The man, 51, was sentenced Friday in Lancaster County Court for third-degree assault and criminal mischief after pleading no contest to the charges.
Authorities said two vehicles were traveling near an intersection on June 13 and one cut in front of the other, prompting both vehicles to stop. The man threw a 3-foot axe through the other driver's passenger window, striking him in the ribs with the blunt end.

PORT ORCHARD, Wash. - A 32-year-old man was booked and jailed for investigation of reckless endangerment and fourth-degree assault on Friday after allegedly throwing a wrench at another vehicle on a highway.
The tool broke a vehicle's driver's-side window, showering glass inside the vehicle, and struck the driver in his left shoulder on State Highway 16. The man driving the vehicle wasn't injured.
The State Patrol said investigators were unable to determine the reason for the assault.
Witnesses traveling westbound on the highway told troopers the man had been passing vehicles and traveling at a high rate of speed when he threw the wrench "for no apparent reason."
The man was arrested at his house.

ReplyDeleteI heard THAT!I live in a rural area and my biggest peeve is people who just let their dogs run loose near the roads.I do not EVER want to hit a dog,but at the same time I am not going to endanger myself and risk a wreck by swerving.I almost get hives when I have to drive up in Salisbury!
ReplyDeleteAfter an afternoon of Dr. appts on Friday my husband and I dealt with rush hour traffic in Sby.
ReplyDeleteMy God, I grew up in the DC area and spent 12 years in LA. Sby's traffic is outta control.
My favorite part...
The people who think it is there civic responsibility to ride in the fast lane doing 2 miles under the speed limit so that all the people behind them will obey the law.
Don't these people realize that they are causing some major road rage, and causing frustrated people to pass on the right thus making things a bit more dangerous.
