Just to fuck with them I weaved back and forth a bunch. Accelerated while touching my back brake to make the light come on, and downshifted without touching the brake to slow down with no warning.

At one point they were so close that when the truck ahead of me came to a complete stop I just went around, and the car had to bail into the ditch to avoid hitting him.

Intentional or where they just oblivious?

I was sitting in traffic this morning at a redlight; five lanes wide and about 300 yds from the light itself. I blip the throttle the moment the light turns green and about fifteen people in their cars around me look up from their phones and momentarily release the brake pedal only to realize traffic hasn't got going just yet.... I lol'd.

If there is one thing I hate about NOVA is how when buses stop EVERYONE (including me) gets over to go around, yet 99% of people decide to not look and turn into me. Genesis almost took me out this morning.

You're starting to sound like me... I haven't put gas in my car in over 3 months.
