[00:30.75]公路的怒气
[00:39.22]I was terrified beyond the capacity for words,

[00:49.49]and nearly tripped over something.
[00:52.23]I saw what it was; a small plaque 2 affixed 3 to a stone,
[00:58.36]facing the road. I'd never noticed it before.
[01:02.99]The inscription 4 read:
[01:04.71]"In loving memory of the three lives
[01:07.70]lost the morning of July 6, 1998.
[01:13.15]May it serve as a warning to those suffering
[01:16.06]from Road Rage."

[01:38.69]about 2 years ago on that road.
[01:41.17]He invited me in for a drink and I relayed my experience.
[01:46.98]He listened intently.
[01:49.12]I thought he would think I was nuts,
[01:51.44]but when I finished he spoke 5 softly and understandingly.
[01:56.06]He told me that a mother was taking her little girl
[01:59.57]to school on that road on the morning of July 6, 1998
[02:04.56]when an angry driver,
[02:06.11]who had taken the road as an alternative
[02:08.83]to the morning traffic rush,
[02:11.35]sped by and hit their car.
[02:14.56]The mother and her little girl died instantly.
