Never, ever, ever, ever slow to a complete stop on a highway when trying to enter an exit lane! Yes, it was difficult as no one would let you in but there was room to pull over at the top of the exit and wait rather than put at risk the lives of those in cars behind you. I honked to wake you up to the reality of a deadly car pile up possibility, with me being the hardest hit. I am not ready to die nor do i wish to prolong the past two years of physiotherapy i have been in, further. Sometimes people honk to save lives. There was no need to give me the finger as you finally squealed out onto the exit ramp. And finally, can we please, please drive more considerately everyone?! We all matter. —Glad to be alive
