Read this yesterday. Cudos to the woman who responded, but sad that he put her in the position of having to respond.
I regularly have people flip me off while stopped for my bus. Seems like there are two extremes lately.
The ones that stop 100yd back and patiently wait for my kids to clear the road, wave and smile when they get close. Sometimes I can make out them saying "thank you" as they go by.
Then there's the ones that speed up to pass before I stop or just ignore the stop sign and blow through.
So far I haven't had any violent encounters although, there have been school bus drivers assaulted while students were on the bus.
I think it is a sign of the lack of respect across many aspects of life. I believe that attitude is driving the rise in crime (both petty and violent) as well as the rise in speeding (100+) and other traffic offences.
Sorry, rant over.
