   Anything is an insult today. Blink your headlights at a woman, on her   
   cell, making notes on a pad, on the steering wheel, and all over the   
   left lane, at 45 mph and she will call the cops and complain of road rage.   
   Now that HS has enlisted Truckers to report anything suspicious they   
   take license to call 911 anytime they dream up offense.   
   Was in the exit lane to get off the Interstate and there was a wreck a   
   little ways up. Trucker came over forcing me almost into the rail. He   
   didn't think I should exit and was weaving between the right lane and   
   exit ramp to keep anybody getting in front of him I guess. As I eased   
   past and off I could see him in his cab dancing around in rage and on   
   his cell phone. Got off and went to gas station and got back on at next   
   next entrance. He apparently had just gotten by the obstruction. He was   
   on my bumper at ridiculous speeds. I changed lanes several time to get   
   out of his way before finally getting to an exit. There was no governor   
   on that truck. I thought about calling 911 but no good would come of it.
