So I almost got hit twice this morning on the way back from class. The first encounter was on a two-lane road, and this fool starts converging onto my lane, as if he's gonna run me over. I honk at him and he backs off. The second, I'm merging onto a highway from an access road... WITH A MERGING LANE... this tool is barreling down the highway, and pulls into the merging lane, almost on top of me, and proceeds to ride it out. I wanted to cut someone after I got home. So tell me about your worst experiences with idiots on the road--they can involve an accident, or simply revolve around idiocy with no harm done.
100% true story. Happened about three months ago. I was on the highway at like 3 in the morning coming home from a party, some douche with his BMW thinks it will be cool to cut me off in the right lane because 75 apparently wasn't fast enough. Keep in mind there is no one else on the highway besides me and him. So I throw my whip into the left and pass him about a minute later, and move back into the right lane about 100 yards ahead of him. Then the douche actually has the balls to cut me off again! This time he was inches away from clipping the front of my car. So now I'm pissed and slamming my fist into my horn like a mad man. He flips me off. Oh hell no, this fucking guy did not just do that! I floor it into the left lane, and in an attempt to get back into the right and now were both doing like 90 for about 30 seconds. My P.O.S is rattling like around like its about to blow up so I eventually just say fuck it and drop it back into 60 and let him cruise on. About a mile down the highway I see the exact same BMW on the side of the road pulled over by a cop! Karma FTW.
On saint patricks day, some piece of shit made a right on red into the right lane as i was going 60 down the hill. He'd of been cool, but he instantly started merging into my lane. the speed i was going, and the way the road is shaped, the only thing i could do was go left of center, where there was an oncoming bus and another car in the other lane. I stopped behind a parked car, and chased him down. I was screaming at him to get out of his car at the stop light, but he wouldn't even turn and look at me. then when i stepped out, he went around the cars in front of us and ran a red light. Bastard almost killed my friend and I, I WANT HIM DEAD.
As long as I can remember, I've been scared to fucking DEATH of being in a vehicle driven by my mother. She is not just a bad drive, but she's a complete fucking moron. I haven't talked to her in three years, but apparently, she's finally had her license permanently revoked, so that's one less danger to society aimlessly careening about the streets (and likely the sidewalks, had they waited longer to take it away). She's not even an "old driver" type, either - she's just dangerously stupid. She never watches the road; she looks around for things like the colour of paint on houses, the location of fire hydrants and the types of plants on someone's lawn. She does this so she can complain about them, for whatever reason, and it distracts her from driving in a straight line. She also keeps a close eye on everyone ELSE on the road and incessantly whines about "their terrible driving," because they're trying to get the hell out of her way. When stopped at a red light, and it turns green, it INVARIABLY takes her at least five seconds to start moving because she's looking in the mirror, digging through her purse or complaining about something else (usually "the assholes honking and yelling at her; it's like they're following me around!). Ironically, she can't help rolling down her window and yelling and honking at people that pull the same retarded moves she does on daily basis. Lastly, if she finds something she REALLY needs to bitch about for no reason at all, she will STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING ROAD to do so.
I would have hit him HARD. People like that piss me off. My buddy fucks with people on the road and it pisses me off. Like if he's in the left lane he'll go slow and then when someone tries to pass him in the right lane he'll speed up. He'll continue doing this laughing to himself, personally I don't think it's funny. When a person does that to me I come really close to just slamming right into them because I'm sick of their shit. One of these days he's going to get a wake up call from someone who has just had enough. The worst is someone who does that same thing but it's not on purpose. It's like some people just have NO idea how to drive on the highway. I also think this belongs here: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHVTYWTb8Nw&feature=PlayList&p=CA51CBE6D123253C&playnext_from=PL&playnext=1&index=12]YouTube - George Carlin on driving (What Am I Doing In New Jersey 1988)[/ame]
Last night I was driving in the far left lane of a four lane highway. There was a car directly in front of me and a semi in the far right lane. Out of the blue, the car ahead of me decides he wants to exit, so he immediately makes a 45-degree angle right turn across all four lanes, right in front of the semi and makes it into the exit. It happened so abruptly that the semi didn't even brake. The driver of the car had to be mentally unstable. You'd have to have zero regard for your safety to do that.
When you got in front of him you should have slammed on the breaks and made the fucker pay for your shit.
I would probably just buy a bike and avoid that ride at all costs lol I particularly abhor soccer mom drivers--they're always focused on making sure Billy's in his seat and not hitting Sara, while talking to the hubby on the cell about today's dramatic playoff game JUST FUCKING DRIVE!!
Yea I try not to fuck with anyone on the road, only because you dont know how fuckin crazy they other guy could be. If you poke him, he might poke back with a chainsaw...
Yeah, good luck with that shit in a no-fault state at 3AM with no witnesses other than two people racing for no other reason than a "oh he did NOT just do THAT to ME!" attitude driving your right foot further into the floorboard. C'mon, seriously, I can't believe all the road rage I'm reading about here. Sure as hell hope you guys live long enough to realize that it ain't worth it in the end. Is your life really worth a "he cut me off!" when it probably happens to all of us 5 - 10 times a week?!? Funny idiotic stories about "blond" drivers is one thing, but damn. Murphys law says that no matter how crazy you think you are, you're gonna run into the person who's crazier. Problem is most of those crazy fuckers are armed... Last time my buddy got into a seemingly small fender bender his car was in the shop 5 months and he ate the cost of a rental and had to bum rides(insurance only covered rental for 1 month). Worst part is he was $2000(in damages) short of just totaling the car and cutting him a check, and it was a lease, so he had to wait it out and just let them fix it, all the while still paying a monthly lease payment. Point is with accidents and insurance, even when you win, you lose.
I can guarantee he's got that idiot driver blind-spot; half-way side mirror, half-on the side of his car. Ughhh.
i agree with all of that ^^^ not that im an angel, ive done some real, real stupid shit out there. fortunatley ive been lucky enough to NOT run into the asshole thats crazier. so far. this is why i took my cds out of my car... its much easier to focus on driving right when youre not fucking with cds and folders and volume and music in the car has a tendancy to get me all pumped up to the point of not paying enough attention. a persons brain can only absorb so much information at once... and driving is a life or death situation. it keeps me calm...just listening to the engine and my shifts. i drive better, safer, and im less likely to fucking fly off the handle when someone cuts me off, which, as has been stated, is petty bullshit that doesnt deserve our anger. so many stupid stupid motherfuckers...tailgaters, speeders, no signal, driving at the wrong speed in the wrong lane... its enough to drive a person to murder. but seriously just let it go. thats what i have my head unit programmed to tell me when i start it up.. "let it go" oh and ive done the brake checking thing too, "fuck him, he can pay for it if he wants to tailgate. fuckin bastard." bad idea. what if you cause a huge accident? just stay out of peoples way.
Someone hit my car when it was 9 days old. First new car I ever bought. Now it's paid off and 6 years old. And I can't sell it because the wreck shows up on Carfax. It's worn out it's right front tire twice as fast as the other tires for it's entire life. I've had three different alignment shop tell me that they can't get the caster in spec because of the crash damage that didn't get fixed right. The inner fender and strut tower are rusting out already because the shop did a piss-poor job of welding the new panel in and sealing the welds. The shop that fixed it has a "lifetime warranty" that they won't honor. They tell me they can adjust the caster (which is BS). I take it to them, they supposedly align it and give it back. But it hasn't fixed the tire wear problem and they won't even talk about rust. So now I'm just waiting for some asshole to merge without looking or run a stop sign. Total that bitch. I won't complain about their insurance company giving me book value for it. I was getting on the freeway the other day on one of those cloverleaf ramps. The ramp is two lanes wide. The guy in the lane next to me was texting and weaving all over the place. I just held my ground. Fuck it dude - hit it. He got really close to hitting my car, but woke up at the last second and pulled it back into his lane. Damn! So close... It'll happen... I just have to be patient.
Yesterday I was almost hit by a car while crossing a street on foot. The little "walk" guy came on, so I checked the road and started crossing. There were some cars in the right turn lane that were patiently waiting for me to cross, as they should. About two-thirds of the way across this dumbass flies around the cars waiting to turn right (going into the straight/left turn lane) and procedes to whip around for a right turn. Fucking bitch stopped about two feet from hitting me. I stopped (in the crosswalk, for effect) and gave her the "what the hell?" arms raised gesture along with a very loud "fuck you!" Some people... I swear you should have to pass the test again every so often.
^^ haha " Fuck you" Yesterday I was doing 25 down my street which pretty much everyone speeds on. As I let off the gas to turn into my driveway I notice a car come racing towards me probably going about 45mph or so. When I saw this I made a conscious effort to not use my turn signal and wait til the last minute to brake and turn. This fucking lady honks her horn and proceeds to speed around me. Now this fucking pissed me off, She had the nerve to honk at me while going 45 down a residential on a rainy day where she could have fuckin killed someone?!? So basically I just got back on the road and followed her down a couple of streets and got her license plate number. I'm usually not one to fuck around with road rage while driving, but some people are just idiots And yes it was probabnly stupid to at least not use my turn signal, but I'm sick of people putting the lives of others in danger for no reason. /Rant Happy late Easter
I'm walking across that little side street, as the other two cars are both making left turns. As soon as they're done, the taxi floors it across the street without looking, stopping about a foot or two in front of me. I just stuck my hand out as if to say "stop", because I'm a badass who can stop vehicles with my mind. And the dude had the nerve to glare at me like I'm the idiot (as bad drivers usually do)
This wasn't life threatening, but annoying none the less. I was biking home last summer, and I was really close to my house. I was about to turn right on a street that runs parallel with mine, when some bitch in a Lexus SUV guns it past me and turns. It had been raining heavy earlier that day, and there was a big puddle, so I got soaked head to toe in muddy water. To add insult to injury, she pulls in a couple houses down, right in front of the street that leads to mine, so basically a block from my place. I ride up, and sit at the end of the driveway for 2 minutes. She wouldn't get out and apologize so I flipped her the bird and yelled "bitch" at her. Call me a dick, but I came back later that night and chucked a few eggs at her truck and let the air out of 2 of her tires.
