Thread: Wreckless drivers. Do you hate them?

I don't know of too many people who like reckless drivers. My most recent story of one is last month coming down I-75 from Detroit, I was heading home from drill. I was in the left lane doin about 85MPH, speed limit is 75MPH. I'm just driving along like normal and I must have got in the guy in the middle lanes blind spot. He never saw me he didn't use a left turn signal and he came right into me. I made him miss me by hitting the breaks, which made my car fishtail of course, and I found myself heading right into the wall separating north and south traffic. Now I was on two wheels at this point, and out of control, and I jerked back into the and ran all the way across into the center lane, and regained control. Now at 85MPH, I would have been dead, but I wasn't thinking about that, I pulled right up next to the guy and I was so pissed, but then I saw he had like three kids in the car, and his wife. So instead of yelling at him and flipping him off, I just pointed at him, and I forgot I was still in my charlie's from drill so he must have thought I was a cop, cuz he pulled over to the side. About fifteen minutes later I thought about what a close call that was.

Wreckless drivers. Do you hate them?

lol, why would i hate myself???

Stop trying to kill me!!..... Please.

if i did that....i would have to kill you

Makes sense.

lol, why would i hate myself???

I'm assuming your serious?

But if you are that's not cool dude. You have no right to put other ppl's lives in danger let alone your own from stupidities.

It was just a joke Johnboy.

It was just a joke Johnboy.

I wasn't sure as I've even met cocky wreckless drivers.

I don't think wreckless driving is cool at all.

I admit that I've done some things, but mostly when I was younger & I've matured my driving a great deal.

no im a safe driver mostly

I do go fast (5-15 mph over speed limit) sometimes but its not in the city of course

And i hate bad drivers

It annoys me how i could be better than someone who's driven for 15+ years...

Most women are bad drivers too hehe

Wreckless drivers are the reason I started BB. It sucks when some a55h0le cuts you off and nearly causes an accident without giving a rats.. So you switch lanes, hit the gas, pull up next to him. At this point you have your window down and so is his.. You check that traffic ahead of you is clear, glance over, look back, screaming,"YOU SON OF" Light turns yellow, you start slowing down to stop, glance over a again... "A BIT" Mind races*Jesus Christ hes a big bastard!* Come to a stop.. there he is.. next to you.. furious.. and you mummble out..
"Sorry, I..I just wanted to catch up.. with you and let you know I fucked up back there..."

One thing you can't do: stick the middle finger out at the driver.

I got a ride home from one of my teachers back in highschool. It was from a school function I guess. We allmost got into a head-on colision with a friggin cadalac. My teacher and the driver of the cadalac were yelling at each other from their windows. My teacher throws up and the due in the cadalac pulls out a gun. And then he is chasing us making attempts to shoot. But my teacher calls the police and then the dude in the cadalc gets arrested.

So our lesson for today is: do not pull up the at the wreckless driver.

The worst experience i had was riding with a reckless driver. I went to this German Beer Festival with my buddies George and Brian and his buddy Shawn. Brian and Shawn are both cops and Shawn is VICE, and Shawn was driving. George was my buddy from the Marines we were both home on boot leave. On the way back we are all way too trashed to drive. But Shawn was driving anyways, and he had like a 2000 Mitsubishi 3000G, and he was goin at least 150MPH for most of this trip. He was drinking a beer while he was driving too. I was like too scared to tell the guy to slow down, i was afraid he'd look back at me and smack into somebody else. The kicker was he made a 4 lane change coming out of the I-475, to I-75 exit and he never even looked for traffic, and we were going at least 125mph at this point. I then looked at my buddy George in the back seat, and he was like, Well it was nice knowin ya Sean, cuz we're not making it home alive. I kissed the ground when I got out of that car.

I usually just head up to toronto when i get the urge to drive wrecklessly. Doesnt put any american lives at risk that way.

A life is a life, American or not are no better. I know your joking BTW or I hope just felt like throwing that in



Fortunately I have not had any incident with wreckless drivers (keeping fingers crossed.) I don’t get why people get so stupid some times and do shit in public streets instead of taking the car to the track if they really felt a need to see what their car can do. I seen so many pictures of cars hitting a pole doing 100+ MPG that the tough does not even crossed my mind on public streets where I may kill myself for my stupidity but also take someone else with me with a wife and children at home.

my high school physics teacher was leaving the school parking lot one day, and flipped a football player over her car....she was lucky he was in football gear, including the helmet.....

another time this group of kids passed the crosswalk section but decided to go in reverse to get out of the red lighted intersection.....right into my car, I got out to check the damage, the poor kids were sooo scared....my friends in the car next to me started laughing, and the mood calmed down...i really didn't care, and their reaction was almost worth it

Then I start going & he's zig zagging in & out of the left & right lane b/c of the parked cars in the right lane. Then he decides to cross the solid yellow line in the middle of the street & pass me on the other side of the road (luckily there were no on coming cars). Then he pulls right in front of me slams on his breaks & turns left into his house? What's the point?...

It's become a universal thing with the kids in the "supped up Hondas". Anytime I see one of these, which is a lot, I just get out of the way and let them drive on by. These cars and adolescent drivers are a joke. They are kiddie "wanna be" a race car drivers in the most laughable of vehicles. In my area all the kids get these and drop them close to the ground and put on one of those ridiculous "fat mufflers" with a 5" diameter pipe that plugs into the 3/4" exhaust pipe (too funny). They then make a few kiddie mods - mostly clear tail light lens and maybe synthetic oil and a few race care emblems/decals on the windows. They then run down the highway with about 5 of their buddies and girlfriends crammed in acting "bad". To everyone they pass the fat muffler sounds like a silly bumble bee buzz and inside the car they hear a different resonating sound that makes it sound like they got more than 150 hp and they get addicted to the sound. Since they are low to the ground everything is moving by fast and they get an illusion that they are going 100 mph at about 70 mph. This further adds to the illusion that they have a "bad" car. So they get all intoxicated on the kiddie illusion and start darting in and around cars to let everyone know they are cool. Little do they know that everyone in the big muscle cars are laughing at them and try to ignore them. Inevitably someone calls their bluff, drops gears and blows their doors. Then to save face with their buddies they start escalating the clowning around to make ever more daring maneuvers in traffic - after all they are "bad". Eventually they wrap the car around a telephone pole or someone’s fenders and daddy takes the car keys away or buries them.

I %100 hear you dude. That's all I see around here. These stupid kids.

My style is totally %100 classic late 60's-late70's muscle car. Dodge Charger, 67 Camero, Pontiac GTO, Ford Torino, Doge Challenger, 302 Boss Mustang you name it. I just don't have the cash for one right now, but someday I will & when I do, I'll be so happy to pull up to one of these jabroni's & destroy their little "suped" up Honda Civic hatch back. I was supposed to get a fully loaded Cadillac CTS from 2001 this summer but I had to save the money I saved for something else.

My buddy has a 1995 Cadillac white with all gold on the front & he laughs at these guys who try to race him. Although he isn't a wreckless driver, sometimes he can't help but put these guys to shame.

I had a Mazda MX-6 from 1996 but I had to get rid of it as it was falling apart & all I could afford go f$%kn' figure was a 4 door Honda Civic LX but I don't do anything to it. I just drive it as a car, but it's totally not my style but at this point I'm just happy to have a car.

This is what we call road rage. I heard a few years back that some guy on the highway almost caused an accident & the guy shouted out his window telling him to F off & the guy stops his car & they get out & the guy shot him & killed him.

That's about the speed limits I drive, just slightly over.

But I don't know about women being bad drivers. I don't think you can seperate bad drivers into sexes. But one thing that is true is that male drivers insurance is much higher than womens for the accident rating.

That's true as that can happen many times but I don't let them get a chance to stop me or get out of their car.

Oh man I would've been sh!tting my pants the whole way through the whole trip. That's just insane & your police buddies didn't tell the guy to stop drinking beer & slow down? That's just ingnorant.

my high school physics teacher was leaving the school parking lot one day, and flipped a football player over her car....she was lucky he was in football gear, including the helmet.....

Why did she flip the football player if he wasn't even driving?

But that 2nd story is just crazy & stupid.

she was driving,.....she flipped the kid, onto her hood, into her winshield and over the car......the she started going crazy...I don't think she was at school the next day

When you meant flipped the kid I thought you meant giving him the finger.

But why the hell did she do that? Did she hate football players or something?

Or was she just not paying attention & then got mad at herself for what she did?

yea, she was just being dumb, and was speeding out of the lot from school, she didn't see the kid step out of the locker room area to get to the practice field....lucky kid though....I would never wear a helmet until I was on the field

Hanz29

That's what I'll never understand when drivers do something dumb they don't admit they're wrong, they just get mad & you think it's at you, but really they're mad at themselves for screwing up.


That's a coincidence, as for me half the time that I came out of the locker room I wasn't wearing a helmet, but sometimes I came out fully dressed with helmet.

Lucky kid is right, why didn't his parents sue her or something?

ok this happened to my mother a few months back

Ok she is driving home from dallas
She was driving in one of those huge Highway streets with like 5 lanes

So she's just goin along
and some lady on a cell phone starts to swerve into her lane
So she blasts the horn and tried to go into the other lane
but then a lady honked at her b/c she was there

So that first lady nearly killed all 3 of them

And my mom being how she is

Sped up right beside the woman and Flipped her off and yelled "You stupid bitch!!!!"
lol...

Stupid lady with the damn cell phone. Yes I've found myself talking while I'm driving but I don't do it now & if I do I use the hands free unit.

But it's bad enough with all the road rage idiots, but now we gotta deal with these half wits who babble on the phone while they're driving. I've see accidents with pedestrians on the sidewalk b/c ppl were babbling on their cell phones. Idiots.

i hate peeps with cell phones
some of them i mean


They whip them out everywhere they go
they think they are cool
and popular

and they want others to think that too
People always take theirs to school to try to be cool

i think its gay thou

People who drive and talk on cell phones are very dangerous to themselves and to others as well. I know! I nearly got into a bad accident because some ------ female was talking on her cell phone while driving and cut right in front of me while talking away without any thought or regard to anyone else on the freeway and nearly caused a bad accident - AND just kept talking on the phone. I followed the ----- and when she got off the freeway and stopped at a traffic light I got out of my truck walked up to her driver's side window which was rolled up and banged on it as hard as I could so scare the shit out of her and GET her attention. I then proceeded to chew her ass out verbally and loud enough so everyone else also stopped at the signal could know why I approached her. I told her to get the --- off the phone and DO the job she is supposed to be doing and DRIVE. (She was a real estate broker I found out and was making money at the time). I have no use for people that talk on cell phones and drive at the same time ( they are NOT driving with full attention and putting others and themselves at grave risk - if they want to talk they must pull off the road completely in a safe area and do their business OFF the road).

John H.
I completely agree with you. PPl on cell phones are putting themselves & other ppl at risk. I admit I've done it a few times, but for the last year or so I've been using the hands free set or if I don't have, I pull over.

Just yesterday I was dring down a somewhat busy residential street with a 50KM speed limit. I was already doing 60KM & this street had some new very big speed bumps put in on top of it. She was tail gaiting me the whole time right up my tail even on the speed bump. She didn't even realize I was stopping b/c of the speed bump & I thought she was going to smack into me. Even when I had to slow down to stop at stop signs she sped up right behind me slamming on her breaks at the stop sign. Then I turned left onto a bigger street & she did to. Then the street turned into a 3 lane street & I was in the right lane & she in the middle lane & we were stopped at a traffic light. She just hung up her cell phone I saw & GET THIS, I ALSO AT THE STOP LIGHT SAW HER PUT ON HER FREAKN' SEAT BELT AS SHE WAS DRIVING W/O IT. I gave her a dirty look & she looked at me like so what.




Here is another one that happened a couple of months ago. I was with my girlfriend on a 3 lane each side busy street. It was pretty full & I & everbody else was stopped at the red light. I was in front in the right lan with cars all around me. There was one car behind me in the right lane. I'm looking in my rear view mirror to see THIS F#$KN' VAN SPEEDING UP BEHIND ME & I WAS GETTING NERVOUS WONDERING HOW HE WAS GOING TO STOP. BUT HE DOESN'T STOP HE DRIVES UP ONTO THE SIDEWALK & DRIVES COMPLETELY THROUGH THE RED LIGHT ALMOST HITTING A PERSON ON THE CURB & A CAR GOING STRAIGHT IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I knew it wasn't an emergency as he was driving much calmer after that light. I managed to pull up beside him & gave him a dirty look but he didn't look at me. & GET THIS, HE HAD HIS WIFE IN THE FRONT SEAT & 2 KIDS IN THE BACK OF THE VAN THE AHOLE.

What do you think of this nut job?

It's bad enough when you risk yourself bust when you risk children (meaning anyone here)....

Recently on the national news it was reported that a study has been done that confirms that people who talk on cell phones while driving - whether the cell phone be a hand-held or other type makes no difference - you are not paying FULL attention to your driving and you are not conscious of everything you need to do while driving because you attention is not fully involved in driving and you yourself and others are very much at risk.

John H.

I guess, but for me personally it does make a huge difference with the hands free unit.

I can talk & devote complete attention to the road. I'm being serious & honest. I'm just as alert with the hands free unit as if I wasn't using the phone with the hands free unit at all.
