A Tampa woman encountered a man with a serious case of road rage. The man began tailgating the woman for a few minutes before passing her and shooting the bird at her. But the road was slick from a recent rain, and the jerk lost control of his truck and careened off the roadway into a ditch. The woman filmed the entire scene on her cell phone and uploaded the video to the Internet. The video went viral, gaining over 6 million views on YouTube. But viewers accused her of instigating the tailgater by tapping her brakes and speeding up so he couldn’t pass her. The woman denied the accusations.
She wrote:
“This pathetic excuse for a human being tailgated me for about three minutes. I couldn’t move over because there were trucks in the right lane, and I sure as heck wasn’t going to speed on a rainy day with the roads being as slick as they were. Now bear in mind, that this guy had already passed a truck in a left turn lane, was tailgating and driving recklessly on a wet slick road, wasn’t paying attention, and all in all being an ignorant ass. Not once was I mouthing off, I never brake checked him, and in fact until I watched the video after the accident I didn’t even know he shot a bird at me because I wasn’t looking at him at all, I was paying attention to the road while holding the phone up with my right hand.”
She added:
“Massive props to the Sheriffs Department and most especially the Highway Patrol who responded to the scene. This moron could have easily killed somebody with his moronic behavior, and my laughing at the end would have been replaced with tears. Needless to say though, I’ve never seen Karma come back so fast.”
