Road rage features tobacco chew

An Augusta man said he had chewing tobacco thrown in his face after he blew his horn at a driver on Wrightsboro Road Thursday night.

The 51-year-old victim said he honked at a woman who was blocking the intersection of Wrightsboro Road and Marks Church Road so that she would move and turn, a Richmond County Sheriff's report said.

When he did, a different driver, described as a white male about 35 years old with a brown mustache, started yelling.

The man then removed some chewing tobacco from his mouth and threw it at the victim, hitting him in the face. The man was last seen driving away, the report said.

I hate it when strangers blow at me too, but I wouldn't share my Beechnut with them, hard as it is to get the goody out with one tooth.

And we wonder what is wrong with the kids nowadays? Well gee, this goes to show you. Adults that have no respect and do stupid stuff, why not let kids do it to? If you are blocking traffic flow because you're not paying attention, then you deserve to be blown at or whatever else the other driver does.
How is it redneck revenge grass? The driver that did it wasn't even included in the honking/blocking traffic issue. Hmm.. And the world wonder's why people shoot first, ask questions later.

I am sick of idiot drivers who think they can block the intersection. I blow my horn at them and hope they get out. How can they argue something they are wrong about. The police would be able to make tons of money if they would watch the lights in front of the mall on Wrightsboro RD.
