Road Rage Flip Cards

My brother actually bought this and uses them. They indexed to mild to obnoxious. They feature tab indexes to find the right insult quickly.

How many times do you wish you had this card?

I could see people flashing this at me

I would be afraid to, because of stories like this-

QuoteShalimar Santiago is charged with ramming an SUV in a road-rage incident on Sunday. Bodies flew around "like an airplane" when Shalimar Santiago intentionally rammed his car into a Lincoln Navigator filled with lost travelers from the suburbs, causing it to violently roll over and eject some of its eight passengers on the West Side over the weekend, Cook County prosecutors said Monday.

You know, I've thought of making something like that for almost a decade now. I'll bet they're making a lot of sales. What would be cooler is a light display in the rear windshield that you program.

Yeah, I just love that "I'm gonna drive like an old lady until you try to go around me." Like, can't you see the shiny blue car that's way faster than yours?

The first time I saw something like this was in the mid 70s, but IIRC it was marketed as the Polish CB. Ethnic humor had not reached criminal status at that time

It had just about every salutation for every traffic situation you could imagine. They were mounted on a paddle like handle and bound like a heavy duty spiral notebook and tabbed for an easy to find flip thru.

Good News is : they were funny as hell

.
Bad News is : they inspire you to respond to situations you would normally leave alone .....and considerably increase your chances of catching a bullet

A LOUD P.A. system with speakers all 4 directions would be best!!!!

That and several other lame pick up lines were on the Polish CB, but it sounds like you're a prime candidate for the famous "MR. Microphone"

That incident with the vehicle getting rammed was a case of mistaken identity, probably gang related. I couldn't use any of those cards, I just personally think it makes the problem worse. There has to be cooler heads prevailing, especially around Chicago roads.....

Right. Best to tell people off silently in your mind and then just let it go. Too many nasty aggressive people out there as is, the last thing you want is to engage them.
