Not revenge. More like karma.

I was driving to my mom's one morning. There was not much traffic on the road so I had a nice easy drive, singing along to my favourite songs in the car.

Suddenly a guy behind started loudly honking his horn and flashing me, indicating that I was driving too slowly. I was just on the speed limit and this particular road was notorious for traffic cops hiding in non descript vehicles operating speeding cameras.

There was no shoulder on the section of road we were on so I couldn't give him leeway to go past me without him overtaking, and I was not going to drive faster. So he overtook. Obviously with all the “hand signals”.

Just a short while down the road, I stopped directly behind him at the red light. After all that commotion and energy, he hadn't gotten that far ahead of me at all. I chuckled to myself…but my chuckle was about to turn into a laughing fit.

The light turned green and just then, his car stalled! I overtook him and waved with a smile. I looked in my rear view mirror down the long straight stretch of road a few kilometres from where I'd passed him and saw a stream of cars overtaking him…
