Even if they were approaching fast at 95mph... this guy must've made a bad decision to come out like that... experienced drivers (those who have the balls to race) should know what to expect unless the dude came out unexpectedly... happens even at 20mph all the time... there are some retarded drivers out there.

Dude, they're going 95mph. If you see a car in the distance, you're expecting them to be going 30-40...not fast enough to reach you in a matter of seconds.

If the 3rd car did come out THINKING they were that far away, the driver of the RSX should've had time to evade.

a. The kid still only had 1/2 or 1/3 as much time to react no matter what the distance.
b. You're assuming he COULD avoid the other car without losing control, that might not be the case if the car he was racing was next to him.
c. You may be overestimating the KID's driving ability, like most KIDS overestimate thier own driving ability.

I do find it annoying when someone pulls out in front of me and makes me slow down even though there's no one behind me (which was obviously the case here).

How often are you driving 95mph on a 30mph road? If you do it quite frequently then I'm sure you are frequently annoyed at the number of people who pull out in front of you.

Yea 3 kids killed themselves in houston when they were speeding on the parkway. I assume they were racing just because thats what a bystander said it looked like.

Rule of Thumb

Your car is fast
Your car possibly can smoke other cars

BUT IT DOESNT HAVE A GOD DARNED ROLL CAGE MORONS! So stop being F heads and racing on freaking streets with traffic. Almost every major city has race tracks which are 4-6 bucks a pop.

I have a 10-point roll cage

i havent read all the posts yet, to see if this has been answered so here it goes. are you even aware how fast 95 mph is (that is roughly 140 ft/sec), and adding to it that this was at night time? I would go out on a limb to say that most people do not expect other drivers to be coming down the road at that speed.

Never, but the people around here are so self-absorbed and impatient that even if I was driving at a normal speed and there was no one behind me, they'd pull out in front of me just to get where they're going 3 seconds faster.

Yesterday I had a guy who refused to let me merge and forced me off the road because he didn't want me to get in front of him.

Ah, I see what you're saying. People like that are pricks, especially when they do that while yapping on their cell phones. It makes me want to roughly deposit their camera phone up their arse.
