Default Prius vs. jeep, I-91 north

As unlikely it is that the owner of any given Prius that one spots
on the road actually participates in any of the forums, maybe
it's worth the long shot to reach out to the silver one I passed
this afternoon, that had just gotten rear-ended by a dark green
Jeep on I-91 north just before the I-84 east ramp. The left side
of the rear bumper plastic was all busted in, but it didn't look
like that much damage. It was very tempting to pull off ahead
of the scene and offer some sort of character-witness input if
they wanted, because that same jeep had been behind me a couple
of miles before and did *not* take the strong hint that I really
wanted him off my butt pronto after he came wailin' up on me
minding my own business in the right lane. I can only hope that
fitting justice is served and the Jeep driver goes down hard, and
regret that it's possibly at the cost of broken Prius parts.

Your 'yuppie button' is a great idea, something I've wished for, for years.
I hope justice was done to the Jeep on I-91.

In my previous vehicle, a '95 Wrangler, I was often hounded by tailgaters who seemed to think that Jeep drivers should be as careless & reckless as they are.

The one accident I had was a rear ender, in which the vehicle behind me "didn't think" that I'd actually stop at the Stop-sign. The vehicle behind me was another Jeep Wrangler.

When we run up to Newport we group up trucker convoy style, leapfrogging to share the fuel robbing 'point' position.

Group up! (I-95)
