Mikaela Barboza told WSVN she hopes her cellphone video will help police capture the two women who assaulted her on Thursday. The 26-year-old said she was driving down U.S. 441 in Lauderdale Lakes when she cut a woman off. Barboza recalled another woman — said to be the sister of the woman who she initially cut off — was in a separate vehicle and began yelling at her.
“You cut my sister off, that’s disrespectful,” Barboza told WSVN on Sunday about what the sister said.

Vengeance is mine saith the Lord. What the heck can anyone learn about respect from someone assaulting someone else with a friggin baseball bat? That isn't respect, that is a felony and should be treated as such.
If it is allowed to bust someone's head with a bat for cutting someone off in traffic, what then is wrong with using a firearm also? Or a grenade?
My gosh, I am cut off daily, multiple times. People don't always act like they know how to drive. (maybe they don't for real). Maybe it was unintentional. Maybe they didn't see the other person. (blind spot)
A whole lot of reasons could be the case instead of one being targetted for disrespect. (highly doubtful) Even though I know it happens in some cases.
Here's a tip I learned a long time ago from a fellow trucker, don't look at them. Boom. Most problems solved. You can't see the middle finger. You can't see the leers, etc.
If you don't see any negative actions, you can't respond to them. Your feelings won't be hurt, you won't feel the need to retaliate.
Now, I'm not saying to not look around and stay aware of your surroundings and the traffic flow, just don't engage those types of people whose ego is bigger than the vehicle they are driving.
Keep your eyes moving. Front to back, side to side, at gauges, mirrors, etc. The way I was taught was that you did that every 12 seconds. You should be aware of everything around you, approaching you and leaving you.
If your mirrors are adjusted correctly and you keep checking them frequently, there should not even be a blind spot in your driving.
And keep a bubble of air around your vehicle as often as you can. Front, back, sides. It's not always possible but it should always be your goal. If someone is tailgating you, increase the distance from your car to the one in front of you. Don't jump on the brakes to tick off the driver behind you. That will just make them mad and they might want to do something to you.
If you have to pass, do so as quickly as possible and RETURN to the right lane. You won't run out of blinker juice I promise.
