So I have to stand my car on its toes...wha? He couldn't wait for me to pass, with nothing behind me?
The karma payback? He rushed his turn, into a steep driveway and all I heard was the SCRRRRRRRAAAAPE of his front spoiler.
chuckle, chuckle
BECAUSE I WOULD BE BLOCKING THE INTERSECTION & OTHER DRIVERS.
"To Hell with other drivers," while sticking his head in my window.
The light changed & I hit the gas, enabling the door post to graze his intruding noggin.
My mirrors showed him in front of his clunker, raised hood, trying to start it. As you said,
KARMA does work!

and keep trying to look over and through them so they get the idea that they blocked my view. This is in our fair little town. In urban areas, I just mumble.

I suppose Hit & Run isn't too important to the anarchy preventers either. I'm surprised the excuse wasn't "I was distracted and too busy."
Edit: Ah, sounds helps. Looks like that was it? If so, I would cite that driver for impeding an emergency in progress. How can they reasonably expect that something as trivial as a bump like that would overrule whatever was important enough to activate the lights, turn a Uwie in the middle of the highway, and thread all that traffic in the first place. Priorities, people. Priorities.

For me, it changes figuratively and literally NOTHING ! I just don't want my chances of becoming indirectly involved increased! The last time I almost got close it was a Harley in the fast lane trying to change to the # 2 lane, splitting lanes with me in the #2 lane. ( he seemed to want to pass his posse of llcing Harley riders. No signal of course) So basically he woke up at the last second, as I split lanes (2& 3) with him! I then returned to lane # 2. Pretty seamless really, but judging by his reaction, the scenario seemed to scare him.
When SUV blocks view of driver in shorter car, it is annoying. Occasionally I've seen SUV drivers aware and considerate of their vehicle's vertical occlusion. That happens about as often as I see an SUV driver not texting.
In other noteworthy news, last week one day during my 30 minute metro commute I saw THREE DRIVERS NOT TEXTING. It was awesome.
8 days until all handheld-device-use becomes illegal for drivers in NH . Woo hoo - can't wait! It will help LEOs bag the texters that much more easily. Good news.
So, how much are used international CXTs going for lately?
ps King, I sincerely enjoy and appreciate your point when you tell us whether every word you use is either literal or figurative. Indicating literal/figurative is crucially epic in today's trendy lingo. It's totally a thing!

The first one says CEMETERY & the next reads, DEAD END!
I also tend to find the "no right turn on red" signs highly unnecessary. They should just say "Caution on Right Turns"
The signs that rely on arbitrary times of the day to enforce their edicts don't provide adequate notification of the following:
1) Time zone legally used for the driver to observe
2) Holiday exceptions
3) Weekend exceptions?
I can't see it holding up in court.
I hope I am wrong, But it was probably written in such a way TO stand up in local courts.
Not all judges are terrible though, I got the court's to dismiss both of my "lack of 2 license plate" fix-it tickets for only one $25 fee.
ILLEGAL?
:LEGAL?
I'm not a fan of Fox news, but sometimes they really hit the bull's-eye! I've been saying this for years!

but in the moment they can seem literally similar if the arrested person is not literally handcuffed and is literally released on recognizance. literally arresting traffic cops for treason is a figuratively funny idea, considering that the word "treason" has been literally redefined to not include the most treasonous dude in history, Eddie Snowden.
the cali traffic-ticket/revenue-generation system is literally generating much national press. surely there are many other states with similar systems that end up literally affecting the poor so much more than the rich?
Look no further than the traffic enforcement system!!!! Most honest people's only interaction with our American justice system is through the traffic courts. Those who unfairly punish us with arbitrary and unfair laws generate the contempt and disrespect you see and hear about in the news.
Maybe it takes a murder to rile peoples emotions up to cause a riot. Just taking money via traffic fines only generates the simmering volcano, but it doesn't quite erupt until......
Their motto: "COMPLY or DIE" should get the felon's attention though.
Thinking about this later, it was clear that what I should have done is continued driving to the next intersection, made a high-speed turn so the other driver didn't have to slow down at all (in a residential area with sidewalks--maybe I'd hit someone but at least the woman wouldn't have to slow down), then backtracked to my home so as not to inconvenience the other driver.
We encounter the same driveway configuration requiring us to slow down, signal right, & enter the driveway slowly due to an asphalt rise (bump) on the side of the road. Even though it is going uphill, others behind are kind and patient as they have the same condition at their driveway.
