Man I see this all the time. Old people braking every 10 seconds for no reason, or braking for green lights.

A week ago I had an old lady in front of me who drove up a bridge with her brakes on!! I was like WTF!!

What I do. Mostly find that point where the brake light comes on but the brakes dont do much :)

cough WTH you do that two? I do it also but i do it with my clutch padel instead! Dude way cool!


with the clutch?

Unfortunatly the Honda isnt a manual so that leaves that out. Did it to some van on the highway today, didnt seem to get the message. If mom wasnt with me I woulda brake checked the hell outta him


i was kidding lmfao =) just saying riding the clutch or brakes is not a good idea!

I doubt it. My car turns on ABS every second on slush roads and this road i didnt get any ABS thingie, so i doubt his wheels was locking up due ot no abs.

his tires may not in as good of shape as yours ;)

people who do this on the highway are the worst. when i'm on the highway in my explorer i stay in the right lane and set the cruise to 62/63 (speed limit is 55).
