Sunday Afternoon, my Wife in the front seat, and both of my young Children were in the back seat of my 2008 Chevy 2500 HD Diesel Truck. We are waiting at the light, and it turns green. I start to take off, and my wife yells at me to look out!!! I see in my periphreal (spell check) vision, another truck bombing down the road, hauling a Horse trailer, doing at the very least 60 MPH. I lock the brakes up, and the truck AND the Horse Trailer whizz by my bumper. Not 1 inch from me. My Iraqi RAGE kicks in. After about 3 seconds of calming down, I stomp in the trhottle in Chase. In about 8 seconds I am side by side with a Lady driving the other truck. She stares at me, with no emotion, and just keeps driving. I tuck in behind her with the intent of following her home. God knows what would have happened. Anywho, after about another minute of me following her, I pull over to regain my compusure(had to get to my Mother in Laws House for her B-Day Celebration). Another car pulls in behind me, and another lady gives me her card. She tells me that she saw the shole thing and that she could not believe how the other Lady ran the red light. Make a long story short, I do call the Cops as I got the trailer number. I was told by the cops that they were in the middle of Shift Change, and that their was nothing that they could do. Input more RAGE.
Anywho, all I could think of all day at work, is What If that ***** would have hit me? She was soing 60, She was in a 3/4 Tun Truck, Hauling a Loaded Horse Trailer. She would have Killed me, I have no doubt about that. What scares the hell out of me is my Wife and Kids. I mean, WTF!?!?!? This Lady didn't even motion an apology. She could care less about running a red light, at full speed, almost T-Boning me into oblivion.
Before anyone mentions it, no, I did not drop any obsenities in front of my Children. All they know is that they were almost hit by another truck, and Daddy was very, very angry.
