A driver maximally accelerated to pass me with about 30 feet to go before a stop sign, then pulled right in front of me and had to slam on the brakes. I was so pissed I blew through the stop sign on the right, and only after-wards realized it wasn't a four way stop, and I hadn't checked to see if I was going to be t-boned by cross traffic that had no stop sign. The minivan then passes me again, honks, flips me off, and some words were lost to the Doppler effect. A half mile later the car is stuck behind 12 other cars because of a traffic jam involving a school bus, train, stop sign, and a traffic light, and heavy mid day traffic. I pass on the left, slow down to express my feelings as I pass, then use the oncoming lane, sidewalks, lawns, and some creative bunny hopping to make my get away around the stand-still traffic jam. After-wards I realized there were two jerks on that stretch of road that day, and I wasn't sure which one was the bigger jerk.
