Please, drive safely.

I was following a ford escort today on the highway. Traffic was steady at 65-70ish. Randomly, the rear axle of the escort broke, sending the escort into a severe fishtail. He got it under control and pulled over. I also pulled over to make sure he was okay. He was fine, nobody was hurt, no accidents were caused. How? I don't know. It was sincerely a blessing.

Please, drive safely. I've been driving for 4 years, and I have a VERY long commute every day of the week on that same highway. The more I drive, the more I see just how careless some people are. In fact, after I got home I saw a perfect example of how careless some people are. A motorcycle pulled out behind me. Some jackass kid on a crotch rocket. He was riding behind me doing all sorts of tricks. Standing on his bike, riding with no hands, doing wheelies, he even propped himself up and clicked his heels together overtop the front nose of the bike. I wanted so hard to slam on the brakes and teach the little schmuck a lesson, but I refrained.

Just keep others in mind when you're on the road and always be alert. You never know what can happen.

It seems people are VERY careless. I can't count how many times I'll have some nearly 3 feet away from my back bumper when I'm going 70 MPH.

What shocked me was the biker. He was so close to my tail and would take his hands off the handlebars to adjust his glasses. What the hell? I tried to give him a small wake up call by tapping the brake, but he obviously didn't care, cause a red light was just ahead and once we hit the red light he was doing a rear wheelie by slamming on his front brake.

Jackass.

Have you heard of the Darwin Awards? Sounds like you found a contender.

people are out for blood.

i had a ford escort one time. i hated that car so much. one time i was driving from colorado and my car started pounding and then just quit. i pull over and open my hood and the alternator had broken off from the bolts. i the belt was too tight or something and the thing just came apart. what a piece of crap that was. ugh. they should just crush them before people take them off the lot.

Then pull over and let them pass.

My faculty advisor drove me around town yesterday (she has a prius) and is hands-down the WORST driver I have ever seen. Twice we were either inches or a second away from a crash. First time I was ever actually nervous in a car with a driver because I knew how horrible her driving skills were.

One other time I was driving and a guy in the car next to me pointed a gun at me and started yelling random incoherent shit. Needless to say this was near the city and it's a good thing I didn't have a gun in the car with me

On another note, I hate... Canadian truck drivers.

my Mom's driving style is called taking "calculated risks". she'd make a great rally driver.

The way I drive has been defined as "aggressive persuasive driving".

[misombra]

persuasive? like persuading people to get the hell out of the way?

Precisely.

I had this f-cker right on my tail this morning. This self-important prick in a sparkling mercedes on his way to work. I was already in a pretty black mood and he pissed me off so much I slowed down to about 15 miles an hour, and would swerve in front of him when he tried to pass. I did that for a couple of minutes and then, I stopped. I gave him the finger and drove off. Who would have thought road rage could be so satisfying.

I know exactly what you mean. I don't really have violent road rage(other than a flurry of angry phrases), but i do enjoy pissing people off when they pull stuff like that. I love coming to a street when someone was tailgating or something, when there's an opening ill usually just sit there and not turn and laugh while they flip out in the rear view. I should probably start wearing armor when i drive

One of my best friends used to always keep a G18 in his car.. Luckily for other drivers he isn't inclined to road rage
