I loved being in the mind of Scott, whose life we start following from the moment he plows into a car in front of him that has two kids in the back while he's chatting away on his mobile phone. Of course it's all the other driver's fault. Nothing at all in fact, is ever Scott's fault, he never hesitates to have a go at someone else's incompetence or laziness when it affects him. As the tale goes on Scott's actions have an ever increasing impact on others, yet in his mind he's always the victim.  I really enjoyed the Scott character, Slow Down probably could have been fleshed out a bit more with a few more interactions with others which may have had us really hating Scott a bit more, and therefore enjoying his comeuppance to a more satisfying level. At the time of this review this was a free/cheap .99c download and it certainly is worth the ten minutes or so of your time to read it and has encouraged me to download other stories in the same free/cheap category by this author.  Although I have to admit if I'd been familiar with those other titles before reading this I may have found the ending of Slow Down a bit more predictable.
