There's a reason stupid drivers pay more for insurance

I was minding my business and driving along, when I noticed a car change lanes abruptly, right behind me. The idiot was tailgating me, and when I gave him a brake check, he changed lanes and drove up next to me. It was an audi a4 station wagon. Driver said "don't be a *****, let's race!"

If I was 18-25, I probably would have stomped it and smoked him, but being 35, I saw that it was a danger to the public to race because traffic was heavy and pedestrians were on the sidewalk. It didn't help when my girlfriend told me to smoke him. But I thought, I have nothing to prove, and only pay $80 a month for full coverage insurance with geico. Not worth it. So ignored the idiot, and when he realized I wasn't going to be provoked, he stomped on the accelerator and went about 60 in a 30 MPH zone. Lo and behold the next thing I see is a police car blow by me and pull up behind him. That ticket won't be cheap and the idiots insurance will go up.

This made me think of the thread a few weeks ago where the op complained people kept trying to race him in lame cars. I am just glad that common sense rules now, and I am not the immature punk I was. I would be angry if i got a ticket racing an audi station wagon. I am pretty sure that betweeen the two of us, if we had raced, the cop would have gone after me. I just smiled at my girlfriend and told her that's why you have points in your driver license and pay so much for insurance.
