i hate jerks that drive like this

[Pulsar]

Wow, am I glad I saw this thread today.

I live north of Detroit and had to drive across the state and back this morning. I'm in an F-150 towing a 16 foot enclosed trailer with tandem axles and electric brakes. I've got stability control and a load-leveling hitch, so the trailer tows beautifully. However, what all these fucktards who have never towed a trailer don't realize is, I CAN'T STOP AS FAST AS YOU.

So yes, if you cut in front of me because you came flying up behind a semi and you're going 30 miles an hour faster than him you WILL cause a mess. Don't be surprised if I get a bit irate.

However, even worse were all the cars on my way back that seem to think that the 4 car lengths between me and the car in front of me is an invitation to pull in. Remember what I said about not being able to stop as quickly as you? Do NOT pull in that area and then be surprised when I run your idiotic ass over. You WILL lose the court case when I explain what your moronic ass just did in front of a vehicle with a gross weight of nearly 12,000 lbs. I really don't know how long haul truckers stay sane with all these selfish morons on the road.

Oh yeah, and tailgating to try to get me to move over? Go ahead. I can't see your sorry ass behind the trailer when you do that, so it's like you're not even there. Enjoy your ride, retard.

Probably worse was the retarded blonde chick driving the land rover. Honey, LOOK BEFORE CHANGING LANES. I know you're blond and all, but I'm fairly certain you couldn't have passed driving school by simply changing lanes and expecting people to get out of the way. This brainless bitch pulled it first when she was merging on to the freeway. Just starts coming over, no yielding. The car next to here laid on the horn. There's room in front of him and behind him. Trying using it, bitch. So she finally makes it into the slow lane, and as I'm passing her, she does it again, to me. Thank goodness there was a wide shoulder. Later, she did it again when she got stuck behind a slow semi and decided to move over into an already occupied lane.

Do all these fsckers have a deathwish?

People who drive like that actually *think* they're good drivers. They *think* everyone else sucks at driving.

 

[Schfifty Five]

Definitely.

But i do agree that the truck driver could have avoided that if they were paying attention.

I'm pretty sure you could say that about EVERY accident then.

 

[Ichinisan]

You make it sound like this happens all the time, the person who caused it has his car hit as well, you can see the car is not level as it passes the other car. If someone did this a lot they would not have much of a car after a while.

People do it all the time. They just get by and they don't realize how likely it is to cause an accident.

You're probably one of those idiots who thinks that kind of passing is "OK" as long as your attempt is successful.

two people are at fault here, in my opinion... the dick who tried to cut the truck off and clipped their cars as well as the driver of the truck. he should have been more aware of his surroundings and if he thought the guy was driving like a dick (speeding up behind the car in the lane next to him, obviously to cut him off), he should have slowed down in the off-chance of something happening exactly the way it did.

defensive driving, man. paying attention to your rear-view. it saves time and money.

The POV driver has no fault at all. There's a reason you're not supposed to pass on the right.

 

[Ichinisan]

We need to have public slashing. That definitely was a 50 slashes crime. I bet our prison population would be sharply reduced over a period of 5 years. Get out of line and you would get your ass whipped up and down till your mama couldn't recognize you.

50 "slashes" doesn't sound like something a human could survive.

50 lashes, maybe...

 

[Powermoloch]

drivers like 'em shouldn't be driving at all.

ehehhe stupid brain freeze

ehehhe stupid brain fart

brain freeze is when you drink something really cold too fast and it causes excruciating head pain.

You should not drive...

me think you mean lashing. I prefer rattan. Like 6' long length of rattan.

 

[Eos]

I wouldn't recommend it, as that's kind of what the guy in the video did (probably not intentionally though) and you saw the results. Better to just let them through.

Had to pull something similar the other day. I was passing a semi in the middle lane (3 lane highway) when half way through the pass, the semi decided to cut into the middle lane. At first I thought he was just drifting a bit from the crosswind, didn't occur to me he was cutting into my lane until he was about 1/4 of the way in. Luckily when I saw him start to drift, I quickly checked my left for an escape route, otherwise it would've been quite a nasty accident.

It's important to have constant knowledge of what is around you all times.

 

[Aikouka]

I tend to drive more aggressive than most, but there's no way I'd try and fit into what looks like a 3 foot gap. I have made a few tighter than desired passes though, but never anything even close to that dangerous. I usually end up in those situations, because I'm so obsessive about staying out of the left lane unless I'm passing someone. :\

 

[OverVolt]

Honestly if I were trapped in that situation I would make sure to turn into the passing car and aim for his rear axle to make sure he is the one to spin out and not me.

The guys mistake was when the second car hit him he didn't turn into the car. Doesn't matter if a car is there it was already an accident you gotta watch your own ass and make sure you don't flip. It's pretty dangerous to be smeared on your side in the fast lane like that.

In the end though no one was really hurt. Hope the guy who caused the accident fry's for the speeding/bad lane change/general assholery. The tiny car was very lucky to get pushed left although he probably steered that way after getting hit like *just not toward the 18-wheeler oh jesus* after he lost control.

 

[Eli]

The being afraid of the 18 wheeler point is a good one, but I still think the Geo driver could've handled it better.

Because its totally realistic to make those kinds of decisions within that time frame considering the circumstances.

There is a BIG difference between "at fault" and "did not do everything possible to avoid." I ride a motorcycle exclusively, so I must do everything possible to avoid an accident at fault or not just to survive them, but if the driver is constantly paying attention to what is going on in the other lane behind him, he has less attention to pay toward his actual right-of-way duties. The vehicle coming from behind was likely to be going way too fast to see coming unless he was A) lucky to make one of his glances at the right moment or B) watching his mirrors at the expense of what would normally have higher priorty. He may have come from another lane even further right (high speed weaving). There is no fault on the POV driver. He could not have expected what goes on in the other lane behind him to be his problem.
