This one goes out to the idiot on the New Jersey Turnpike on the early afternoon of February 14, 2007:

You are a stupid ASS!

During this snowstorm that has hit the east coast on Valentine's Day, the roads (needless to say) were pretty bad. The Turnpike itself lowered the speed limit to 35mph, down from it's normal 65mph. For a highway where the acceptable speed limits are 80...the conditions were not good.

So I would like to send this lovely hello to the red minivan drivin, cell phone talkin, clueless soccer mom, who is unaware that in a snowstorm, YOU WILL SPIN OUT DOING 75mph...

I have a heavy foot. I also have EXTENSIVE driving experience on the Turnpike. I drive a "boxy but it's safe" Volvo...I...ME...Mr. "it settles in at 90mph..." was doing 35mph (and doublefisting the wheel to maintain control)....

The road situation during the storm (at this point), was that only the center lane of the Turnpike was plowed, leaving the far left and right lanes, a snowy/sleet mix that if entered...equaled death.

This twat (word I am using in agreement with my better half, since the "C" word is not her favorite, but is interchangeable), comes flyin into the highway on her cell phone, oblivious to the world around her. As soon as she is off of the ramp, she immediately slides into a spin. As she hits the 180 mark (i.e. her headlights facing me), she misses the SUV in front of me by inches... I look at her through her windshield, she still has the phone to her ear, with a huge round "O" where her mouth used to be. I hope she deafened whomever she was on the phone with.

I come to a sliding stop as she is now somewhere around the 270 mark. If I still had my old station wagon, that whale of a minivan would have been a great target, with me now facing the passenger side of the humpback, now spewing snow from the tires, since the twit apparently floored the pedal thinking this would help.

I sit mid highway, now sitting there watching the remainder of the show, where she continues to a her full 360, a drops to a stop. She's still on the phone...

So hello to my turnpike companion, whom I only wish I grabbed your Jersey tag number to post here, so that other travelers might be aware of how stupid you are.

I personally hope that you continue your driving habits, so that one day you can wrap yourself around a tree. I hope that your kids are with you , so that your genes cannot spread into the world. Lastly, I hope you're on the phone with your Mother, so that the last thing she hears is the sound of your death.

This was, by far, the stupidest thing I've been witness to in a long time. My only disappointment was the fact that you did not kill yourself right there and then, because now you have the ability to possibly harm someone else in the future...

To the dude navigating the Silver SUV in front of me...NICE HANDLING!!!
