I was northbound M-37 at Peach Ridge, doing 60mph (I observe the '5mph cushion', regularly) when this dumbass HAD to pass me!
He didn't know the Nissan truck was ahead of me.
LOOK AT THE SPACE BETWEEN ME AND THE NISSAN!!
He could've slid in there [and I'd still have hated hime] but, atleast he wouldn't have risked the lives of 3 families.
Idiot!
After 23 miles I was still behind him.
He'd only gained 1/4 of a mile ahead of me before I had to turn onto M-82!
Great time saver, that one!

The Crown Victoria coming the other way almost hits him head on.

I know!
That was probably one of the closest ones I've seen in awhile.
I don't know if the Crown Vic wasn't paying as close attention as he should've but, dang!
I bet his whole ride home was a lot slower...
See! This is the real reason I got my camera!
You couldn't imagine the amount of dumbfvckery I see on the road in a given week.
If I ever happen upon a wreck and have to stop as a witness, I can pull out my camera and show the fuzz what happened.
The sucky part is, when I want to grab a specific clip I have to spend hours watching endless road.
Of course, I turn off the camera when there isn't any "action" going on..... which, I had it off right before I spotted this guy screaming around the car behind me.
Fast action by me got this idiot on tape.

Not smart at all. I once saw a guy on a racing motorcycle rush in and out between cars on a city street. Nothing happened, but if your in a hurry, go earlier.

With some of the crap my frineds and I pulled as teenagers its amazing we're alll still alive. All of trying to be Bo and Luke Duke at times. The worst part is we knew we were being stupid but we did it anyway.
That Jeep driver must not have known there was somebody directly in front of you. It was good heads up by the truck to move aside or the Jeep would have been sandwiched between the red Crown and the truck with Mahnarch's rig right behind.

....and when the Mahnarch comes a-knockin'....you don't ignore him!
I was pulling about 28,000lbs at that time.
That's 14 tons.
You have a 1 ton truck, Phil?
Basically, I was 14 yous packed into 60ft.
You know what 1 ton feels like.
Multiply it by 14!
And try to stop on a dime!!

I'm pretty aware of proportion. I've seen junk cars left on train tracks, somebody left a gazebo on the tracks. That was messy.

Oh yeah. I remember you talking about those cars and a gazebo. It'd be awesome to see the event but, I'd hate to see you cleaning up the aftermath. ....that is, unless you found a $50 bill in the glove box of that scrapped car that someone forgot about!!  |
