Tailgater Karma...

This too, shall pass

Yeah, but I'm going to pass on the RIGHT.

This thread yes..... Bad driving never...

I see it everyday. It makes you wonder if half the people on the road actually have a drivers license.. I pass a traffic circle everyday to and from work, and thought I have seen it all, well over 50% of the idiots trying to get into the circle think they have the right of way... It's obvious they don't know what the word "YIELD" means...
But my all time favorite was not once but twice (two separate occasions, two different women) driving in reverse in a traffic circle....

Funniest accident I ever attended was on a hill with a hairpin bend. Car coming down understeered into the middle of the road as car coming uphill cut the corner. BANG!

Both cars were near identical barbie doll pink Nissan Micras and there were two near identical blondes on the kerb sobbing into an iPhone each.

Hey Ozzy, I'm pretty sure I posted about it here once before, but I did actually see a "funny" accident once on Cicero ave here in Chicago.

Came out of a corner eyeglass store right at an intersection, (was going through a buddy holly phase. ) and my GF and I watched I think it was around 5 SUV's smack into each other like Dominoes. Total chain effect, SKREE! BAM! SKREE! BAM! SKREE! BAM! SKREE! BAM! SKREE! BAM!

It happened right in front of us,..they were ALL on their phones when it happened.

It was low speed, no one was hurt, just some dented bumpers and bruised egos.

But they all got out and started yelling at each other,..WHILE STILL HOLDING THEIR PHONES!!

OMG, I had to sit down on the bus-stop bench I was laughing so hard.

It was so f**king stupid I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it.

Red means "STOP",..play angry birds later you dumb sh*ts. HAHAHAHAHAHA!

..was probably one of the funniest things I've seen.

The 'everyone else is wrong I'm a good driver' thing was on full blown display like a peacock trying to get laid.

..I'm laughing again just thinking about it.

I can't even properly explain how funny and ridiculous it all was. I couldn't get up and walk away for like 5 minutes,..I was laughing and holding my stomach,...like 20 feet away from them all.

I think I clapped at one point.

My GF had to drag me away.

 

[Ozzy Mandeus]

Yeah, I know what you mean. "I wish I had a camera (and wasn't driving, obv)" accidents

TBH most of the ones I attended were funny in some way. It's the ones that weren't that I can't quite get over. Sometimes (like the other night) it gets the better of me.

Best accident I ever saw involved a friend of mine. He has an F350 crew cab long box pickup he uses for work, it is a big pickup and you can't miss, or so I thought. We had went out to eat one night and were both headed the same direction afterwards. For what ever reason I took a different turn and ended up at the same intersection as him but going east while he was going north. The street he was on was a 4 lane, one way, and on the right side of him i could see a car full of teenage boys. They were screwing around bouncing all over inside the car and when the light turned green they turned left, right into the wheel of his pickup. How you could not see that truck sitting next to you was beyond me! So he proceeds to pull forward to get out of the way of traffic and it rips part of the front bumper off the car. The kid takes off like a raped ape and never stopped. I could see the driver swearing and cussing and the rest of the passengers were just dying laughing. We both pulled over, called the cops, gave a report and went on our way. Not a scratch on his pickup. I bet that kid had a hell of time trying to explain to his parents why his bumper was gone, LOL!

 

[Ozzy Mandeus]

Lol. I had some stickers made up a while back for "Black Knight Racing".


ps, the pic took half an hour to load up! I've been like WTF are people liking here, it's a blank post....

Funniest accident?

That's some weird shit



Uh, anyway, I got a question for the tailgaters. When it's just a two lane road, for miles, and I'm going 5 over the speed limit already, but for some odd reason, yer time is more important than mine, and you'd like to prove it to me by tailgating, which is dangerous, reckless, illegal, and most of all, completely obnoxious, what should I do?

Is the proper course of action to pull over at the nearest convenient area in order for yer highness to pass?

Everybody bow down to Mr. Important, he's driving fast and ignores rules on account of how important he is


The only reason I see somebody needing to tailgate is because somebody is being born, or dying



YMMV obvs

Totes made a joke and didn't even realize it

Start coasting.

That'll really piss 'em off.

These cats mean bizness! I'm just trying to figure out what the right thing is to do so I don't inconvenience them while they're tailgating me, that's all

Well, here's what I do - I'll slow down to about 5 mph under the limit. If they get the message, great. If not, I put on my hazards and slow down to about 20-25 or so. They drive around, I turn off my hazards and continue on my merry way.

I used to brake check tailgaters - can't believe I was that dumb. Fact of the matter is that they just don't get it. Bottom line for me, though - I'll do everything I can to both keep my temper in check AND get to my destination safely.

This thread is about Karma..... What goes around comes around... I wonder what would come your way after a stunt like that

I just find it ridiculous to fight fire with fire.. Nothing good ever seems to come from it... To me it's very simple to move out of the way for someone who wants to drive faster than me, regardless of how fast I am already going...

Some of you folks need to get off your high horses and enjoy life, I guess misery loves company, so why not make someone else miserable because you think they're driving fast enough... Life is short enough. Looks like Mal want's to shorten it for some...

Drop the 5 over and break check every 1/4 mile......

That was what we people with a sense of humour refer to as a JOKE.

Some people suffer a humor impairment mate, and they just don't recognize a joke when it's presented.

It's sad, and you should feel sad for them.

I'm trying to start a foundation to try and get these people the help they so desperately need, with a trained staff of highly educated doctors and sexy nurse clowns.

I hope I can count on you to help out once the ribbon has been cut and we can start admitting patients into the laugh factory.

We need your support brother. If we can all spare a laugh, we can all make a difference.

I'll assume you didn't see the wink at the end of my post....

Although some are quite serious about being pricks to people who want to drive faster than themselves... Two wrongs make a right I suppose.
