What a way to start my morning!!!

It is a well known fact that whenever it rains, or has rained, drivers' IQs fall by 25%. I was heading into work this morning, in a pretty decent mood, listening to the morning radio show. It had rained late last night and into the morning. Mind you, not a torrential downpour, just a persistant drizzle. Due to the road conditions I am actually driving just below the speed limit, traffic is flowing pretty well, and all was fine until........I was on the right lane, a little yellow hybrid tonka car decides to change lanes, cutting me off, and then promptly slam on their brakes because air got in their way. I had a good distance between me and the car that was ahead of me, until this tonka car cut me off. I had nochoice but to swerve to the right (into the grass) to avoid eating the donut she had sitting on her lap. As soon as I hit the wet grass, I felt the rear end of my car cut loose. Next thing I know, my front end is pointing towards the traffic I just evaded, as my car is power sliding across the grass. I could feel the momentum and wet grass sending my car back into traffic, and I knew if I touched the brakes, it would cement my fate. So I counter-steered and succeeded in straightening the car out. Then the wet grass took effect again, and the car over corrects. I counter-steer again, down shift and give a little gas. Back to looking at the traffic.....counter-steer again and car does a 180 degree turn, so that my back end is now to the traffic, and I am now fast approaching a "Do not Enter" sign and a traffic island, driver's side first. I took out the sign, and the cement traffic island stopped my movement. I drive to a safer spot and watched the woman driving the yellow tonka stuff what was left of her donut in her mouth and keep going as if nothing happened. I called the police, they showed up after 45 minutes, and initially the cop was going to issue me a ticket for "too fast for conditions". I asked him what he based this on, and he said that the tread marks on the grass indicated I was going too fast. I explained to him the whole situation, and that the tire marks were not from me applying the brakes, but from steering/counte-steering. No ticket, not at fault. But now I have to deal with getting the Z fixed.......

Please tell me you jotted down the license plate of the lady that cut you off. If for nothing else than to have a police officer show up at her door and ask her some questions.

Unfortunately, due to my vehicle's incessant need to spin like a friggin top, I did not get a chance to jot down her license plate. Immediatly after, I was too busy making sure my testies went back down to where they belong, and keeping myself from getting out of my car and running to hers and choking her with her donut.

See, what you should have done is sped up and fucking rammed her off the road. We need a "fucktard" rule, where if you're being a fucktard you're allowed to be killed by other drivers in the name of saving humanity from birthing yet another fucktard. Was that too strong? Sorry, I get all emotional about bad drivers. Aggressive driving FTW -- we pay more attention than the rest of those slow ass drivers.
