This PSA brought to you by several would-be assassins who tried to wave me in front of speeding cars in the last month and who will have to try harder next time.

    I try to never use “the finger” when another driver is being an ass. In that case I always just give them a thumbs down and a sad face.

    I save the middle finger for people who are being “nice”, especially when it is making things dangerous. I find it is the quickest way get them to just go.

    I try to be coniderate while driving. Being predictable is safe. Deviating from the rules is dangerous. I think being safe more considerate than being “nice”.

      I’ve never thought about giving drivers like this the finger, but I’m absolutely going to from now on.

      It’s not being ‘nice’. It’s dangerous. That’s deserving of a middle finger.
