Andrew,
While I agree with you to a point, we are not in Japan, nor Canada, or
Europe. We are in the US. I was one of the listers that suggested getting
her plate and contacting the police.
IMHO there are far to many people driving cars that are purchased soley for
their status value by people who don't need the power and don't know how to
drive them! Especially SUV's, lets be real Mercedes and Lincoln are selling
SUV's now. I beleive Lexus or Infinity has one too!
I think the real point of the original post might have been that drivers are
not very curteous, and that possibly we shouldn't talk on Cell Phones and
drive at the same time, unless they are the hands free operation type!! The
same thing could have happened if the car was a Hyundai too...
just my additional$0.02 worth
