Also a true story:

Traveling down Peninsula Highway on my way home from work. For people who dont know: it's a 4-lane Autobahn road off of 695, that is 50 MPH. However, due to lack of police patrols there, people typically do 60ish. Honestly, it's absolutely barren so I don't see why not, but 50 is certainly enough.

So, I'd just made my left turn onto the road riding my motorcycle, my friend on his riding staggered to my rear right. I look in my mirror and notice a woman on his *** in a Honda Pilot. We were doing about 55 btw, and hadn't merged right yet.

In the brief time between me looking, noticing her there, deciding to merge, signalling, and beginning my lane shift....I make one FINAL look to my side to make sure I'm clear and WOOSH - there she is, doing 75 in the right lane, with her phone up to her dumbass face as I'm merging over.

I gave chase for a moment, before I realized 70 wasn't even catching her, and she was still pulling, and realized it wasn't worth hauling *** down this road just to have words with her. At least, not until I noticed she pulled into my housing development. Followed her to her place, and proceed to ask her if she USUALLY travels that fast down a road while talking on her phone, to which she responds, "Don't worry, I'm calling the police, keep talking!"

What the hell is she going to tell them? "Oh yeah, totally doing 25 miles over the limit and talking on my phone, I almost killed a dude today. Yeah, I went home, parked, and he yelled at me for being dumb. Did he threaten me? Oh, no, but he did call me a dumb cunt - that is fairly foul..."

Whatever - I know where she lives now along with what she drives, so I'll be looking for her with my GoPro ready. I on the other hand DID call the cops on her. Obviously, they can't do anything about this instance, but they can however, step up patrols on this friggin road. So, fair warning, Al: don't speed down there.

Moral of the story? Being a reactive driver will get you killed in this state, whereas being a proactive driver may just save your life. Also, some bitches be stupid.

California was horrible for it in the areas I was in. That's where the emergency lane riders and the super weavers would be. Traffic was at a standstill but I could see these guys coming in between the lanes for miles. I had a good mind to just open my door and let them go over it...

But it wasn't worth the increase in my insurance. :icon17:

While arguably ill-advised, I believe lane-splitting is legal in California; however, it is not legal here. You can usually spot the a-holes a mile away, though - if you think riding on interstates in shorts and flip-flops is a good idea, you clearly possess no sense whatsoever.

My favorite one was the guy that was stuck behind the truck. Well I blipped out and passed him and the truck. Next thing I know he blippes out from behind the truck and gets in front of me.

Then he slows down to 50 miles an hour and proceeds to pull a wheelie in front of me and ride it for a mile while accelerating away.

I just though please don't Fcuk this up because you will be a red smear on my nice clean undercarriage.

What a Tool...

And he was wearing a t-shirt, shorts, and flip flops...
