    I don't get what's with people slamming their brakes lately. Happened to me 2 times within the same week.

    First time, I changed 2 lanes in a row, always checking my mirror and blindspot before the lane change. Pickup in front of me starts encrouching into my lane when he's half a car's length in front. I slow down, let him in, gave him a few blips of my high beams. He gives me the finger, speeds up about 10m and slams his brakes. Luckily no car beside me and I swerved to go around him.

    Second time, DVP, I was on the left lane. Beater car tries to overtake someone and comes into my lane. He doesn't speed up, I almost rammed up his rear. Gave him a few blips again to get him to go faster. Slams his brakes. I braked pretty close to him, he speeds up again. SLAMS it again, almost to a stop. Doesn't go back into the middle lane when he's passed the other guy. I just went around him and gave him the finger....

    I've noticed the same sort of crap. The idiots seem to have all gone crazy. I'm following way behind people now, especially if I see them driving erratically.

    How are you feeling, physically? Any neck or back problems that weren't there at first?

    I was fine, no lasting effects. No neck, back or other muscle issues. Was checked by my doctor and a chiropractor a few times both were surprised I had no injuries.
