Hi, Brenda
This looks like a good entry for the contest. Good luck with that!!
Yeah, I know how you felt. My husband would not have just sat in the car like your husband did. He'd be giving the guy the finger He'd probably get out of the car but maybe not if the guy was so huge that he knew he would get plastered. But he would escalate the situation. Or, he might've gone through a red light to get away and that presents its own problems.
Even if the issue wasn't his fault, he would escalate. One time we stopped short of a red light, It was because the drivers in front of us had stopped before the red light The woman behind us hit us My husband had braked really hard because the car in front of him had braked really hard, The woman who hit us from behind.
Thought that the accident was his fault
My husband thought it was her fault because she didn't stop in time. She thought it was his fault for hitting the brake and stopping so suddenly in front of her.
She had a bunch of friends with her that all talked kind of talked ghetto. If you know what I mean, so I was waiting for one of them to pull out a gun and shoot my husband, and maybe me too.
Nobody decided to use insurance because there wasn't enough damage, but my husband and she were throwing all the cuss words at each other and then at one point he started to intimidate her because he's a man and she's a woman. But she wasn't having any of that either. She had a lot of spunk to be honest, I don't know whose fault it was
Probably hers because she should've been able to tell that his brakes were on. It's possible she didn't pay attention.
One suggestion. You could just say big man. His race makes no difference to the story.
I enjoyed reading your story
Good job. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
An excellent entry for the Share Your Story contest. I would have frozen in fear. That is exactly the scenario when people are shot to death at a stop light. It's hard to know what to do but i think that not responding is probably the safest thing. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Patty Mazzurco
This account powerfully (very) conveys the fear and tension of a sudden, threatening encounter. The vivid description of the man's rage and the author's emotional response effectively captures the harrowing experience. For slight improvement, consider refining the narrative flow to enhance clarity and focus. Some repetition and detail could be trimmed--such as replacing "I was so thankful that God was right by our side throughout this entire ordeal" with "I was thankful God protected us"--to maintain tension and impact. Overall, it's a gripping and personal account that highlights the intensity of unexpected road rage and the relief of a narrow escape.
