A WOMAN was so angry about a road rage incident she put a picture of the offending car on Facebook. To Emma Goodwin's surprise, the picture went viral - with more than 15,000 people sharing it on the social networking site. The incident happened at about 9.15am on Wednesday morning as Mrs Goodwin, 37, was making her way to work from Radcliffe-on-Trent to Bulwell. A driver in a black Range Rover was very close behind her and then "cut her up" at the Gamston island. When the two cars pulled up alongside each other at traffic lights near Holme Pierrepont, the driver in the Range Rover started shouting abuse at Mrs Goodwin. She said: "He was shouting things like 'you fat pig' and eating pies. If it had been just insulting my driving I could have taken it. But he was very offensive." Mrs Goodwin was so upset that when she pulled up behind him at traffic lights outside the Trent Bridge Inn pub, she took the image. "I wanted to put it on Facebook, hoping it might get back to him about how bad his behaviour was," she said. "I can't believe how much it has been shared on Facebook. I thought there would be about a couple of hundred, not thousands." Mrs Goodwin has now reported the incident to the police and has taken the photo off Facebook. A spokesman for Notts Police confirmed they are investigating, but added motorists should not use mobile phones when behind the wheel.
