However you look at it, the lives of the people in this incident are wasted due to simple traffic issue. The two dead people can't be brought back again, and the lawyer destroyed his life and career due to impending jail time (hopefully justice will be served). Pwede naman sanang isa sa kanila and bumigay o magpasensiya na lang. Asking for a fight and shooting people dead wasn't the only option available.

But, I can see and understand the source of the rage and anger of the Cefiro driver since I just had a near miss yesterday afternoon that made my blood boil too.

I was driving home in a busy 2 lane street going home from work. Its 5pm and theres just the regular rush hour traffic which is not so bad in this area. There was probably over a dozen cars with me as 4th in line. I was using my small Kia car so I was overly cautious by giving about a car's length distance between me and the huge ford truck in front of me. Unexpectedly, a minivan coming out of the store on the left side of the street came hurtling through making a left turn to get into the direction I was driving. It barely missed a honking and visibly surprised SUV going on the opposite direction, and instead of aligning itself in the median yellow lane before merging, the driver went straight and merged the minivan in front of me. I was running 40-45mph and had to slam my brakes really hard. I thought that since the van had a near miss with the SUV that he would wait in the median turning lane before merging into the lane I was driving through. But idiot made the 2nd near miss on me. I probably missed the bastard by a mere 2-3 inches. Of course the rest of the cars behind me did their own brake hard routine creating a chorus of screaming/screeching brakes. The initial shock subsided and my anger came out as well as my nervousness. I was gripping the steering wheel so tight and chills went down my spine. Then I was yelling invectives and honking my horn like mad,and when the driver looked back I gave him the finger sign. I started chasing him trying to tailgate him and intent on following him to his destination to cuss him out and maybe punch the living hell out of him. Those emotions probably lasted 10-15 seconds, until my mind went into thoughts of my wife and 9 month old son waiting for me at home. What would happen to them if I wasn't able to avoid that guy and I get disabled or killed? Wait! I'm worried for them but I was madly chasing the guy. It hit me like a cold splash of water that what I'm doing at the moment is also putting myself at risk. That calmed me down considerably and I just said out loud "Diyos na ang bahala sa iyo. Huwag ka sanang mandamay ng ibang inosenteng tao!" Hinayaan ko na at tumakbo na ako sa speed limit. He went into a fast righ turn into the next cross street and then he was out of sight. I got home 5 minutes after that, and my son was in his walker waiting near the door. He greeted me with giggles, smile, and some of the few words he knows "Da, da, dad, didi!" The anger, nervousness, and other thoughts in my mind evaporated and I just hugged and kissed my son while relating the near miss story to my worried wife.

Like my wife often say... however careful we are at driving, marami parin ibang driver diyan na iba ang pag-iisip or driving habits. Be extra careful while driving fellow tsikoteers. Sana lang po ay huwag tayong matatalo ng galit at inis sa ganitong sitwasyon para walang mangyaring masama sa atin. Kawawa naman ang mga mahal natin sa buhay.
