Road Rage Taken Too Far







At about 3 in the afternoon on August 27th, a 17th year old girl whose name can not be showed was on her way to a Delaware high school. She was going the speed limit, and was a new driver. A motorist behind was tailgaiting her, and got angry because she was not going faster. After a couple of miles, she pulled over to let him by. But the driver was not satisfied. He then pulled over in front of her car and got out. She put the window down about 5 inches so that she could speak to him and try to understand what the problem was. Although, she didn’t see he had a knife with him. He told her that she tried to kill him, which was not the case. He then demanded the car keys, and when the girl refused, he punched her in the face. After he pulled out his knife, showed it to her, and then held the knife to her throat. Right before he went back to his car, he reached for the key in the ignition and ripped it out. Witnesses tried to chase him, and by then another truck pulled up behind the girl. People called the police. They are still researching now.

Nice job.
Great topic, and it's interesting. Though the grammar could be a little better. Otherwise, I haven't seen the problem yet.

Great artical, and a great topic. It definetly grabs the reader's attention.
I like the artical, it's suspenseful in the begining. It tells the story seriously. It's like, why are you writing about a new driver? and makes you keep reading.
