Drivers Beware

This has to be one of the rudest drivers I’ve encountered in ages. While I didn’t get a photo (I was driving) Here’s the skinny

Car: Late 90′s Ford Taurus – Cobalt Blue
Plate: MN 204-GAD
Driver: Male

——
Offense: While turning from E. Pt. Douglas Rd onto 80th St. the driver attempted to turn from the inside turn lane, into the outside lane, which I was occupying with my SUV. The driver then attempted to speed up, and cut me off by squeezing between me and the vehicle in front of me.

After he was unable to cut me off (as I was also accelerating and moving into the entrance ramp to Hwy 61. NB) he sped up more and cut me off across two lanes of traffic, making a friendly gesture with his middle finger (as did female passenger) (When I passed them on 61, the female passenger made an extra effort to lean over the driver and greet me once more)
——

Being concerned with safety, I decided to test my horn for about 30 seconds. Horn worked.  I also returned the friendly gesture, after all, we’re Minnesota Nice, right?

If you take a look at the MN Courts site you’ll see there are number of statues this could be tied to, possibly 169.18(7)(a), 169.18.7(a), 169.19(1), 169.19(1)(b), or one of a few others that are very closely related in wording.

Driver fails to utilize turn signals and proper lane changes

Failure to use turn signals and cutting drivers off. Learn how to drive you dumb *****.

Really, it’s a two lane left turn into a two lane eastbound road. You do NOT have the right to start on the inside left lane and end up in MY right lane without using a blinker and only then AFTER you have completed your turn and made sure there is more than a gnats ass room between our bumpers.

I hope me testing my horn for 30 seconds didn’t bother you this morning..
