Idiot sloth almost causes 4 car pileup

On my way home today, I was coming up to a light that the. ahem,
traffic engineers just redid. As you can expect, the light went from
well designed to crap. Oh, and they lowered the speed limit.

Anyhow, there is a sloth driver ahead of me, doing under the speed
limit. (SIDE NOTE: When the limit was 55, there were a lot of people
who did 45, now that it is 45 the same people do 35) He was going
approximately 40 in the 45. The closer we got to the light, the more
he slowed. I let off the gas, and was inching closer, but given there
was a green light, I did not have to apply my brake.

The guy behind me was ****ed because someone held him up at the merge
behind us, and he wasn't happy I got in front of him, so he was
already tailgating me. There was another car visibly close to him.

So, sloth asshole decides to lock up his brakes in an attempt to make
me hit him. I was on the cell phone handling a crisis with a support
group, conferenced in with one of our directors. I have a stick
shift, so I was pretty limited in what I could do to avoid the
accident. My only choice was to use the upcoming turn lane to go
around him.

So I change lanes, and accelerate as I look over at moron boy. He is
flipping me off, mouthing things, and drives his car at me.
Unfortunately dickless wonder doesn't realize that since he hit his
brakes and I immediately hit the gas, he has no chance to catch me.
Further, he is turning left.

Now what is interesting is how the asshole behind me gets ****ed a
mile later when I turn on my signal and make a right turn.

****!

That SL lowering probably was the major mod.
(and they call it "traffic CALMING"!)

I guess he was waiting for a different color...8-)
It really ****es me off when these sloths slow down for a GREEN light.

It sounds to me like you have problems making all kinds of choices...
