On my way to work today some idiot decided to do a U turn from the shoulder to the lane oposite mine and I had to slam on the brakes to avoid an accident. Everything in my car that wasn't tied down went flying. I turned around and followed him. I caught up with him when he was slowed down by some traffic and got his plate. He saw me and started passing people in the suicide lane. I guess it could have been worse I saw an accident a few miles later on the same road.

Lesson 1: never follow someone after a roadrage, they may have a gun and though you want to shoot them.

Lesson 2: buy the best street brake (not racing brake that you need to warm up first) for your car, it always payoff in the end.

Did you get his plate and call the cops?

  1. Should have puckered his door in a bit! Wouldn't have hurt your bumper much, if at all.

Better yet, get some good tires. There is no use for a good set of brakes when you don't have a set of sticky tires.
