Experts in what?  Pottery?  Of course, the women can't be to blame.

Translation: "Two women perpetrated Florida's latest road-rage
incident."  See how much better that reads, Sherri?  And you call
yourself a journalist.

Get a thicker skin, lady!  Flash a sign back!  Looks like someone was
running low on bon bons.

"An SUV makes me feel so much safer."  Hey lady!  Your SUV may look
like a battleship compared to a Dodge Neon, but it's no match for a
tractor, though it would have protected you from that lethal disposable
cup.  And has no one talked to you of seatbelts?  Your SUV can't
protect you if you are thrown from it.

Tragic.  The idiots live, but an innocent may die.
