Flipped the bird, Flipped the car
 

TACOMA, Wash. — A woman caused an accident on State Route 512 on Monday when she lost control of her vehicle as she was giving another driver “the bird,” the Washington State Patrol said.
The 23-year-old woman, driving a 2004 Taurus, was traveling eastbound next to a Subaru Outback, the State Patrol said.
She wanted to get over to the right lane, but it was occupied, so she flipped off the driver of the Outback. As she was doing so she lost control of her vehicle and hit the back end of the Outback, causing it to run off the road and roll over. She ended up in a ditch farther down the roadway.

Three people were taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
The woman faces charges up to reckless driving.

note to self do not buy an Outback.

Whoa. Word to the wise.

Maybe the problem is in driving school. In Motorcycle school, they tell us that 92% of the fatalities are self taught. Maybe this is one of those cases. In driving school, they should increase the curriculum to include flipping the other driver off safely.

Perhaps it should be part of the driver's test too?

Definitely! I'm thinking of setting up an American Idol-type forum of judges in the parking lot of the DMV, with propsective license holders idling past with middle digit proudly extended. Points will be given on style, panache and the quality of manicure. Those of southern European descent will also be required to demonstrate proficiency in administering the bras d'honneur while driving by in a small red Fiat.
