So I gave him the finger

They say driving is courtesy. I tend to subscribe to the saying and abide by it. On the road I consider other peoples' urge to get home quickly from work and whenever I'm on the left lane I give way to faster vehicles.

However, I dread people who turn their head lights from a whooping 500 meters asking you to step away. I even hate it when somone shows silly attitude such as sticking up so close to the car. I've had 5 meter gaps between my car and the car behind. I don't mind drivers being fast and appraching my car while I'm on the left lane. I would certainly find a gap to my right and try to gave way.

Sadly, I feel the general driving attitude in Bahrain has been in constant decline when it comes to manners and courtesy. I, for one, never swore at any driver and made sure they saw I was swearing.

Today, some silly asshole comes from a far distance while flashing their head light and sticking up my ass as close as 3 or 4 meters. THAT'S fucking dangerous and it's not acceptable. Any step on my breaks would mean a crash and the consequences are terrible to both cars and to whoever is on the road.

So this shithead comes with an attitude flashing his headlights like he own the road, horns like a maniac and can clearly see I can't move to the right because there are so many bloody cars. Anyway, he keeps on pressing the car horn and I signaled him to wait a bit with my hand until I find a fucking gap. As soon as I try to go to the right, the asshole must have been doing 150 Km/H going from the left lane to the right most lane (3 lanes to my right) and comes in front of me. He waives his hands saying "Bye Bye I managed to cross you". For the very first time in my life on the road here I laughed and I thought the occasion deserves a sweet finger.

...And finger he got.

WTF is wrong with people these days, no manners on the road!! Must I go so low!!!
