Status: offline 		I know this is'nt really the place for this, but here goes..
I work for the county here in Weatherford, building roads, patching pot holes and the likes.
On Jan. 9th myself and two other guy's were out patching pot holes and the traffic would'nt slow down and I was worried about my guys getting hit, so I got out of the truck to try and slow them down some, this guy comes up and stops at the rear of the truck, looks me right in the eye, them pins me between his car and my truck.
No real harm done, just a rasbury on my leg, but, now this guy is looking at a second dregee felony and assault on a public survent, just because he did'nt want to move over.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, it may be a pain in the rump to slow down a little, but , this guy may go to prision. So, PLEASE WATCH OUT FOR THE PEOPLE TRYING TO MAKE YOUR ROADS BETTER !!!

I'm through now....

Status: offline 		Hazardous drivers, agressive drivers, dangerous drivers, all really need to take a step back and see what it is they are doing. I live in the agressive driver capital of the world here in the tri-state area of NY, NJ,and PA. I'm not from here so I never realized how agressive these people can be.

If they stop, look, and listen, they will back off and not do what this guy did to you.

He deserves whatever they give to him. Let him spend some of that agressive money paying fines, higher insurance rates, and perhaps spend a little time in the big house for what he did to you. No one deserves to be treated like that. No one!!!!

Status: offline 		I know what you meant.. and I apprecate what you are facing every day. I see what some of these characters do on a daily basis. The worse of them, as you described, need a bit of "re-orientation" to the real world. You guys have a tough enough job to do without that sort of abuse.

Status: offline 		I agree with you Gary L, however if I made that post in the beginners forum, it would have been deleted within 15 minutes. This should be in the Off Topic forum.

Why do i say that? Check my signature line. BTDT!

Hell, just be careful around folks............period. Some of these dangerous morons don't need a reason, and even less provocation, to do you in.

Status: offline 		We have a "Give them a brake" slogan and fines and jail times are escalated in construction zones. Many police offices and construction workers have died because of stupid/aggressive drivers so I understand your point of view. That guy deserves whatever he gets. You should also consider suing him for your injury. People like that need to be taught a lesson.

I am one that moves over or slows down near people that are off the side of the road.
