You don’t own the road

This morning I was driving to work. It was a little rainy out and I was running on time. So I wasn’t rushing but boy I wish I would have picked a different route. I got off the highway where I normally do for am shifts. I had no trouble on any roads and the garage door actually open on the first try. Normally in the garage I am tempted to drive right throw it after about the 5th time of driving over the tubby thing which tells it to open. I think people in MN haven’t learned polite road manners, which means winter driving will be a nightmare, seems people are getting ruder and ruder. Normally I try not to lay on the horn but this morning I felt I needed to. I drive a van and well there’s not much room for me to go right or left before I eat up the space. I think maybe during the winter instead of staying home, I should do a orlando vacations.
This morning I made my left turn on the road which will eventually get me close to work, and was behind a guy going 20 miles an hour. I decided to pass him it was on a 4 lane street. Well when I went to pass the person they started speeding up and coming into my lane. I honked tried to warn him he was getting a little to close, they honked back and kept trying to get close to me. I was actually worried the guy was going to run me onto the median and into the tree coming up. I finally hit the gas and speed up I figured if he was dumb enough to keep at it I would call for help. Being a woman, that feeling threatened by someone with a big truck would get me help pretty quickly.
