Been a while but I have a funny story!

TARDCORE · 05-06-2010, 02:05 AM

So its May 5, Cinco de Mayo! And theres a decent amount of traffic as I am on my way home (this was about 15 mins before I posted this) and I remembered my friend told me there was going to be a DUI check point tonight in my area I live in. So traffic begin to slow down a little from about 55 mph to about 40-45 mph so i figured the check point was comming up. So this lifted Ford Bronco with these annoyingly bright HID's starts to try and cut in and out of traffic and of course as we all know, speeding in and out of heavy traffic doesn't really get you anywhere and sometimes slows you down even more. So the guy gets behind me and I slow down when I see the cops overheads flashing ahead and I down shift from 4th to 3rd and 2nd before I put it neutral. I guess the Bronco's driver thought I was reving at him so he rushes to the side of me cutting off the vehicle to the rear right of me, throws his truck into neutral and revs REALLY hard about 3 times and apparently he didn't wait for the revs to fall back down because when he threw it back in drive, he shot into the back of this PT Cruiser!!

So we are about 25 yards away from the first 2 officers and I pull up to them and tell them that that black bronco just rear ended that dark grey PT Cruiser. I wish i could ahve seen the look on that guy's face!

Man, I see these kinds of drivers every day. I drive 95 every day from Bmore to DC and back, and every time traffic slows down, you get these "heroes on the shoulders" or "weaver birds". It's one thing to drive like a **** when you have the hardware to handle it, but I see huge SUV's doing it, and this once I saw a guy in a station wagon tailgating the guy in front of him. There was obvious road rage going on. Well, Mr. wagon decides that, although he's got plenty of space to slow down, he's gonna rev his engine and overtake all agressively. His crapwagon fishtails, he overcorrects one way towards the median, overcorrects the other way, and slams right into the side of the guy he was tailgating. So now, for 20 mins or so of heavy traffic and road rage, when the highway finally clears, this guy has now ruined his life, the life of the other driver, and collateral damage to any passengers, plus creating a whole new traffic jam.

Sometimes it just pays to be patient. I'm glad Mr. SUV in your story just rear-ended a grocery hauler and didn't wipe and spin on a major highway like the guys in mine.
