Near miss accident

I was driving home today from field service with my wife and we were driving west on Coronado drive when this crazy idiot in a Toyota 4runner cut me off and nearly hit me. I was driving in the left lane and he was driving in the right lane and he was coming up to a car ahead of him but I guess he didn't want to slow down for that car so he sped up and cut me off in the left lane causing me to slam on my brakes. I sped up to the guy and rolled down the passenger window and yelled to the driver "Hey, What the heck is wrong with you" Can't you see I have children in my car and you cut me off like that? He wanted to pick a fight with me And I wanted to get out of the car and hit him in the head but if i would have down that I could have been arrested for assault so I just took off and called the guy a jerk. My blood pressure was boiling when that guy did that because It was so disrespectful and ignorant on his part. How many people have had this happen to them? Did it make you mad?

My asawa wants to learn to drive

My wife has been wanting to learn how to drive so she can run her errands and give me a break but I'm worried. My wife has been in the united states for just about 3 years now and she's finally getting used to life here but i worry because where she comes from, the normal transportation is bicycle or jeepney or 2 legs. The thing I'm worried about is my wife getting into an accident and i get a call at work telling me to come to the hospital. I don't know about other husbands who have married filipina's but i sure would like to get their opinion on this. Maybe they had a similar dilemma, i don't know. It's kind of nerve racking to me because California drivers are not the most courteous or best drivers in the world. And my wife doesn't have any experience at all driving a car except from when we go out, sometimes i let her grab the steering wheel and steer straight ahead while we are going down the street but i usually have one hand on the wheel. I'm really nervous and i need some feedback on this. Should i be so concerned and is this normal feeling? Has any other husband of a filipina wife gone thru this kind of problem? Please let me here from you. Thanks...
