Driver with death wish

Coming home from work this morning doing seventy five in the fast lane. I had another driver pull up two inches from my tail. I could see the bozo mouthing away as his rice burner flew around me and passed on the right. If I had hit the brakes or had a mechanical break down there would have been a fatality for sure (At least by the time I got to his car.)
Likewise, going in that day, another ricer 1/2 a mile back passed three lanes of traffic on the shoulder and proceeded up to 100 mph where he proceeded to deek in front of me and a car I was passing. I would have only had to feather the gas to close the gap and have another fatal acccident.

My opinion is that our roads are becoming inhabited by people with serious mental deficiencies and problems.

How do you deal with it? Ian

 

I try to stay out of the way.

These jokers will sort themselves out and their grief stricken families will put up a little cross.

 

They want to go splat, I give 'em all the room they want. They'll either grow up, or not.

 

When they go splat, they just form a ricer-patty. Good thing their cars crinkle like aluminum cans on impact. :bglasses:

 

now you know why you dont see any middle aged folks driving "Ricers", they dont live that long.
Look at video games like Need for Speed underground....it's Ricers gone wild...and there are many more games that young drivers play that creates this vision that they can drive any way they want.....problem is you never kill any one in a video game. "Atleast not a real person".

Hang in there!!!

 

Darwinism at work...
I drive a 79 cadillac or a 10 ton box truck, bring on all your little suicide rice boys, I can take 'em.

 

I've got a five gallon compartment full of little steelies tucked under the rear of my car. A little switch on the dash activates the trap door.

Well, not really. But I wish I had. :laugh:

 

Better yet, how about some hubcaps like on the movie Grease. You could just pull up beside them and carve your initials in the side of their car. :laugh:

 

They caught a dufuss ricer in my state going 142 in a 55 zone. $6000. ticket.
He did not think he was doing anything wrong. He will not be driving for awhile :spank:

 

Sounds like he put 4 rubber bands on today instead of 2. :laugh:

 

When someone's tailgating me lie that I'll pull out the headlight switch to make them think I'm braking. It generally works but some just come right back

 

I just let off the gas. And smile. I must be turning into an old fart... :Brow:

 

If someone is tailgating me, I generally let off the gas and slow down. If they continue to ride my rear I just let her go down to idle, as slow as I can. Or I just kind box them in so they can't get around me anyway. People are in too much of a hurry now-a-days. I wouldn't pull that trick on the interstate, but doing it in town gets the message across for the most part.

 

I usually floorboard it and pull away from them and then get over to get outta their way and let them get the ticket. I get the satisfaction of blowing their doors off and they get their satisfaction in thinking that they beat me. Everybody's happy that way!!!

 

In the metro Boston area, greater than 10% of speeding tickets are for speeds "Exceeding 90MPH".

The world is changing, and not for the better...... :rant:

 

:rant: Back when I had the GS, I'd get soo pi$$ed when those ricers would fly down residential streets around 50-60mph (30 zones).... I got soo fed up with it, mainly since it's right by a elementary/middle school, that when one came up on me (I'm going 30), I'd see them start to pass me and I'd floor it when they'd get to my door.... pull ahead of them and when they fell back into my lane I'd slow down to about 25.... then repeat dropping 5 mph untill they understood that it wasn't gonna happen..... One got me soo riled that when she was literally inches from my bumper I slammed on my brakes, and floored it when she started to do a panik stop, she dropped her cell phone... and almost went off the road untill she realized that I'd gassed it :laugh: :bglasses: I see that car all the time around here now doing 30 .... she never speeds around my "hood" anymore


I don't care about speeding on the interstate.... its the residentail streets, with all the kids that could jump out at any second that really gets me :af:

Still though, the look on that girls face when I hit the brakes was priceless... I still laugh about it and its been over a year.

I do admit that I have Road rage..... do stuipid things to these idiots.... but hey, sometimes you have to fight fire with fire.

 

Well there is always the very dangerous downshift in a standard. Cuts speed quickly and your brake lights don't come on. Of course that's inviting an accident. But with him smashing into you that would make it his fault.

 

Around 30-33mph is normal city driving mph around here but when some <bleep> flies up on my bumper doing 45+, it's down to exactly 25mph. Usually they get the hint and get off my buttocks but there are a few of them that just stay right up there and get surprised by a quick hit of the brakes. We've got this one hill that people will try to take the 2 short roads instead of continuing a block and just taking a right and going down the hill. I love it when I see someone turn right onto the short roads only to be passed by me going down the hill already, especially when they turn onto the roads ahead of me just to be passed by me, the guy that was behind them because they thought this "shortcut" would work but it rarely does.

The one thing that bothers me is when people go too slow, I'm talking sub-25mph, that's when I get irate and the horn button gets used. They're usually FIBs or old people though.

The thing that makes me want to kill? THe !@#$%ers that do 35-40mph+ through a schoolzone and there's NEVER a cop to catch the !@#$%ers!!

 

But officer... A chipmunk ran out into the road... I had to stop quickly to preserve nature's creatures. :Brow: :Brow:
