Idiot in Neon owned himself this morning :)

I was cruising back home on I-95 this morning at about 80mph (65mph limit) and in the left lane which was moving about the same pace. I have about two car lengths between me and the guy in front of me at the time.

I see this white neon weaving across all three lanes like an idiot coming up from behind me. The he tries to pull in front of me from the far right lane, at the same time traffic was stopping in my lane pretty fast (there was a truck in the middle lane, so apparently he didn't see everyone in the left lane coming to a stop)....with nowhere to go unless he wanted to rearend the guy ahead of me, he totally kissed the concrete barrier and his two driver's side hub caps went flying (one over my car by an inch and the other flew over all three lanes of oncoming)... I totally almost nailed him (his rear end kicked out into the middle lane)...anyways the guy then gets undercontrol and totally cuts across all three lanes and off the expressway....I wanted to see the damage but I was already past the exit he took....

I saw a funny thing the other day. A severely riced out Lincoln LSC. Pathetic. He was in front of me stopped at a red light next to an Acura 3.2L. The driver looked like Jane Soccermom. This street was two lanes each way, and limited access, so they could really go. Well they did. I followed close enough to see the event, but hung back far enough in case they wiped out. Well, Jane owned the Vin Diesel wannabe. It was great fun to see 😀
 
This reminds me of my own little look-at-that-tool-own-himself story:

I was driving down one of the semi-busy roads in my neighborhood one night at about 2am. The road was one lane going each way, plus a parking lane on each side. The road was pretty empty, and I was doing the limit (I was pretty much the only car around, so I wasn't about to eat a speeding ticket). Anyways, I go past an intersection and a camero makes a right turn and gets right up on my bumper. He's flashing his brights and honking and all that crap. We keep going like this for like a half a mile or so.

All of a sudden, the parking lane on the right was completely open for about a quarter mile, so this punk decides he's going to pass me (A little side note here, I am driving my parent's '98 Caddilac DeVille w/ Northstar). He pulls to the right and I hear him hit the gas a little... so I speed up... screw this little punk. He speeds up some more, so I keep pace and keep him on my rear quarter. At this point we are going about 60 in a 30. The parking lane is quickly dissapearing, there is one car parked just a couple of hundred feet ahead of us. As a last ditch effort, I hear him floor it, so I put the caddy to the floor. I look over, he kinda gets that "oh, sh!t" look on his face, slams on the brakes... and plows into the parked car at ~20mph.

That'll teach him not to cut people off for no reason.

I didn't even get to see the damage, he literally and immediately cut straight back across and right off I95.

I need to start carrying my digicam though...most of the stuff I see though is girls with skirts tucked in their underwear or hose 🙂 One was in Home Depot and not a bad view on her, she had one of those light mini's on and an edge was in her waist band so a whole butt cheek was exposed. As she walked down the center aisle like every guy was doing double takes....finally some other lady went up to her and ruined it for everyone else 🙂 My wife couldn't believe it took her passing about 10 rows before someone actually let her know.

do you realize how unbelievably illegal that is for you to do that? :Q

Meh, that's fine. He had plenty of chances to give up... including right at the end. He had less than a hundred feet, and he had a choice: "should I hit the brakes and give up, or should I floor it and chance it?"... he chose poorly.
 
last week i took a 2-lane canyon road to work when the freeway was backed up. About a month ago I took the same route and some idiot in a late model, black, jacked up 4x4 was passing people in no passing zones and generally driving like an insane idiot.

Well, last week I was cruising by and that same 4x4 was flipped over in a ditch on the side of the road. It probably happened about 10 minutes before I got there by the look of the crowd gathered around. It looked like the driver should have been ok (if he was wearing a seatbelt). Second time I've seen an idiot in an SUV flip on that road.

You think it is your responsibility to dish out lessons in life? He could have died, you could have died, your parents car could have gotten fukt, any number of bad things could have happened. I hope you don't pull that kind of crap when I go to pass you because you are doing the speed limit and I am in a hurry. And I wish assholes would learn how to spell camaro.
 
sorry, I like AbsolutDealage's story more...if you're in such a hurry at 2AM in the morning, take the expressway or something. Or how about...you pass on the LEFT? :Q

That's what I'm sayin... at least pass on the correct side if you are going to pass. I probably would have let him by if he did that... but he just had to be a d!ck about it. Now he has a smashed up camaro to show for it.
 
And people wonder why road rage is such a problem in this country.

While I can't say I'm not guilty of doing similar stunts (in the past), nor can I say I don't find it a bit humorous that he chose poorly, I can say what you (and I) did was wrong. I think folks just want you to admit that and realize you shouldn't do it again.

You were being a #$!^ by not letting him pass to begin with... and then showing him up. I'm glad nobody was physically hurt, but, you should take that as a get-out-of-jail free card and consider you won't get many of those in life when you participate in things like that.
