I thought the folks with "Jesus fish" and crosses were typically the worst for Road Rage?

There's one in a field off US-1/Jefferson Davis Highway just past the exit for Cameron as well.

Can’t speak to that, just posted what I observed. Happened a few years ago on I-40 east of Nashville. SUV tried passing a Prius in the right lane on interstate and the Prius proceeded to swerve aggressively at the SUV. When the SUV hit the brakes and backed off, the Prius driver whipped over into the right lane in front of the SUV and started aggressively brake-checking. Both cars proceeded to do this dance for the next mile until the SUV floored it and took off. I was trailing and thought they were going to wreck all of us. Prius had a Co-exist sticker and peace sticker among others. I’m sure many road rage incidents have happened from all walks of life/religion/political views. That’s just the worst one I saw.

That's the worst you've seen? That doesn't sound very bad. No guns involved. That's when they start getting really scary. Haven't seen a coexist Prius owner pull a gun on anyone myself, but I wouldn't doubt that it doesn't happen.

Had a jerk try to pass me in the right lane today, too. Annoyed me because there were three lanes and he could have gone around me in the left lane like a normal person. I wanted to get over in the right lane to turn right.

There’s quite a few in wake county scattered around. There’s 2 flying off of 97 here in the Wendell/lizard lick area then countless others scattered around eastern wake.

The most shocking place I found a confederate flag was on some house 5 minutes outside of downtown Charlotte! It was hidden in the window of the house so you would easily miss it passing by lol. I wish I grabbed a picture or saved the address, I also saw another house inside the 485 Beltline in charlotte with one.

I thought Jefferson Davis Highway was US HWY 15 thru Granville County?

Got one right next to my neighbor's house in Durham County, Carr Township. Right next to Brier Creek where they're putting in all them subdivisions where the old farm houses used to be.

I hang mine in my workshop. One Army of N. VA Battle Flag, alongside framed pics of Gen. Lee, Gen. Stonewall Jackson and Abraham Lincoln.
