Driving down the back country roads as I must, I saw someone spin off in front of me about 0.5 mile. I knew that it meant "phantom ice", so I dropped from 60 down to 35. The turd behind me didn't like that and started flashing me. This is a 2-lane road (route 30 bypass into Montgomery, Il.) so I couldn't get over anywhere. After a few seconds of simulating wingtip strobes with his headlights, he bolted around me with the standard single digit gesture. You got it - 30 seconds later I saw those headlights once again, then tail lights, then headlights, then tail lights, then he was on his way off to tailgate a cow in the adjoining field. Me, being the pleasant person I am, politely retuned the single digit gesture as I putz'ed on by him at 35. I wonder who got to work first? Make my day. he did. Also, what is this stuff about seatbelts in Illinois? Supposedly, if you involved in an accident in any way, regardless of fault, if you don't have your seatbelt on, there is a large monetary penalty or something like that. "pass-em-over-the-top-King"
