So this morning as I'm bombing down Kansas state Highway 7 at 5 mph over the posted speed limit I note that I'm travelling beside a lady in a Chevy Blazer, also at five over the speed limit.
I'm listening to my country music, and having a good ole time when I look up into the rearview to check the progress of those folks behind me.

I note a cute white Jetta coming up VERY quickly. He's on my bumper in no time.
As he's so close I can't drop back and pull in behind the Blazer to let him pass.
And as I'm going 5 over in a bright yellow truck on a road that is HEAVILY patrolled by the KSP, I'm not about to speed up and cut off the lady in the Chevy.
By the time I've come to this conclusion, all of about 5 seconds, the idiot driving the Jetta swings wide to the right, onto the SHOULDER of the road almost turning the Jetta over into the ditch.

He gets past, and takes off at about 80 MPH (posted limit is 60).
I shake my head thinking, "I hope there's a Trooper up there, that idiot is gonna kill somebody".

3 miles up the road, on the offramp I see red and blues flashing.
Guess who's gotten themselves pulled over?
Yes, It's Jetta-Jerk! I hope he got a huge ticket.
I laughed my brown furry butt off the rest of the way to work.:lol:
 
I recall a similar incident around 1997 or so; a Nissan Sentra was driving like a nut all over a certain very straight interstate about 45 minutes from my house. He was chopping everyone off, flashing his lights at everyone. We're all going about 70-80 or so, but apparently, 100+ was what he wanted.

About 10 minutes later, after stopping at the toll booth, and accelerating away, the same white Sentra was parked on the right behind a Florida State Trooper.

Two years later, I'm waiting to turn into a plaza in the left-turn pocket. It's about 5pm, so the road was jam-packed with rush-hour traffic on the otherside. I was prepared to wait, but the lady behind me in her Mustang wasn't. Naturally, I wasn't going to worry about the horn blasting or the middle fingers pointed at me. No sir I'm not going to get into an accident.

Well after about 60 seconds or so, she loses her patience, and floors the accelerator. I hear the big V8, and see that she's just going to go up to the traffic light ahead and make a U-turn when it's her turn. Except, she's accelerating so fast, she doesn't realize there's a Nissan Altima travelling at about 20mph in the left lane just before the turn lane...WHAM!...and I almost peed my pants in laughter.
 
Unfornately, its sad when these people get away....but its funny as hell to see 'em caught. Back in the early days of the Acura, I usually got a punk who thought about racing. Unfornately (fornately for me), during the time Texas State Patrol had heard of young kids street racing, and the kids were to stupid to hear about it.

So, a guy in a bright blue Chevy Camaro, sticks along side me and makes all kind of "racing" gestures. So I "agree."

I do about 10 over the limit, and instead of flying off, he does stupid stunts around me like he's trying to impress. Well, a semi tried, yes tried, to cut him off after being toyed with to much. We get down to a tollway, and he flys in front of me through the PAY LINES and blows by. Idiot didn't know, that's where State Patrol were watching. I stop and pay (no toll pass at the time for me), and 2 miles down the road, he's pulled over...No cops, but looks as if he blew something.

Being in school, and stupid.....I rolled down the window and said, "Let's race now b*tch!" laughing...

Anyways, that still happens todays, and they're hardly caught....thankfully, the police are coming out more and more.
 
Haha he used the Teckademics lane, the shoulder counts as a lane in same cases. This case does not seem to be one where the driver should have used the lane. But ya I see people like that all the time on the way to work...but in Michigan one would be doing 85-90 mph in bumper to bumper traffic and someone would try that.
 
I caught a guy illegally dumping a truckbed full of crap into our dumpster. my mom and I confronted him, and he was SOO in denial...

Thing is, I said something like, "I mean, you don't have to be ignorant about it. The sign (our building residents ONLY) is right there."

But, I fear I insulted him or something because he (he was a jamaican/caribbean guy) said "Please, sir, do not call me ignorant." I didn't mean to insult him. All I meant was that he was wrong, and denying it. Is that wrong to say? Lol, it was kind of spur of the moment, and I was nervous, so I just blurted out the first thing that came to mind: He's ignoring me; ignorant.

I could've used a better word, I guess. Perhaps, I'm too "real" for confrontation, because I hate BS, and I hate it when people take things personally that I, honest to god, did not mean personally.

Oh well. The police went to his house and talked to him and stuff. I dunno if I should apologize for the comment or not, as he lives nearby in the community. The community ALWAYS comes to dump their crap in our dumpster, stealing our services because they're too cheap to buy the county blue-bags (huge blue trash bags that you need in order to get the trash picked up from your curb.)
 
Often times, we here in Massachusetts use the breakdown lane. Mainly because, at certain times of the day and in certain locations, it's legal.

However, I was witness to a wonderfully patient State cop.

Whilst stuck in heavy traffic, yo-yo-ing along at 15mph, a young kid in a F&F'd honda slips into the breakdown lane and waves happily to all the people he's cruising by. He merges through the Braintree Split and aims for the Breakdown lane again. Cruising on and out of site.

Approx. 15 minutes later, I inch through the 128 stretch, and there are two state cops will blue lights, parked behind this car. The kid is sitting on the ground near the read tires, in cuffs. His two buddies are in cuffs, each in a Cop car. The cops were litterally tearing the car apart searching it.

Yes, it brought a smile to my face.

As Gil noted, it is almost a guilty feeling seeing someone get their due.

Calling someone ignorant isn't an insult. If you think you are anything other than that you are claiming you are omnipotant or godlike.
 
Yeah, but ignorant can also mean dumb and uneducated. I didn't say, "You're an ignorant man/fool/etc." but, perhaps he took it like that. I am obviously younger than him as well, so that kind of adds to the cauldron.

Oh well. I just hope he's reasonable now, and won't try this stuff again.
 
I hope our police start booking people who sit in the right hand lane for no reason!! normally going under the posted speed limit. The rule IS keep left UNLESS overtaking, yet wankers sit in the right lane all day. Or you get 2 cars side by side backing traffic up. If only Keep left unless overtaking was enforced our roads would be so much better.
 
Police (over here) do fine drivers in the right lane if they shouldnt be, but very rarely. A friend I used to have got done for it.
 
I have one story that sticks out as instant karma. In the afternoon rush, a lady in a minivan was driving like a lunatic (with several kids in the car). Going up a hill, she was weaving in and out, blowing by people, doing about 55-60 mph (limit 35). I let her by after toying with the notion of using the guy on my right to block her. About a mile later, on the downslope of the hill, she had severely rear-ended someone. Thankfully, it looked like everyone was out of the cars and okay, but I thought to myself, "you deserve that one, *****".

Good story Gil! Well, except for the country music part, hehe. :)

There was nothing good on "The Fox", our classic rock station, at the time.
And since my tastes are very eclectic...I was also in a pick-up at the time.
 
Heading home from college one day (70 mile drive) I was stuck on the interstate in moderatly heavy traffic where everyone was doing about the same speed but there was little room for passing and merging. Typical steady flow of about 70-75 mph. This guy on his crotch rocket motorcycle flies by weaving between lanes and sometimes just riding between lanes doing what I estimated to be 90-100 mph.

Not long after that it started raining pretty good and traffic slowed down to about 60 mph. About 30 minutes later I was approaching the exit for the freeway I needed and noticed traffic was getting all backed up. When I got to the freeway I noticed the ramp for the other direction on the freeway had cops, firetrucks, and an ambulance all blocking traffic. As I passed by the obvious accident scene I realized I saw the motorcycle looking trashed in the ditch and the guy I assumed was the driver on a stretcher with a neck brace. It looked like his tires slid out from under him in the rain while taking the curve at a high speed.

All I could do was shake my head and say, "idiot."

I wouldn't wish anyone to wreck on a motorcycle but what that dude was doin' sounds ridiculous.

Sadly, it's the only way some people will learn.
 
About a year ago, i was coming home from a Labor Day party that my friend had. While going home using a main arterial, this dark Cadillac Seville with darkly tinted windows started tailgating me and flashing his lights. Right at that point he couldn't past because the road narrowed to 1 lane to accomodate for a freeway offramp that will be joining the road. After the road widened back though, he blew past me on my right. I was doing about 5 over the limit (35mph was the limit). So I got kinda pissed and decided to follow him. We were doing 55mph since lights were all green (it was at night).

About a mile later, we got to a point where I knew was infested with cops, so I slow back down to about 40mph. The guy keeps going, then i suddenly see the guy slam on his brakes, then a second later, red and blue flashing lights pulled out of the parking lot that the cop was hiding in. As I drove by I was half laughing at him for getting pulled over.

The other half of me was scared ****less though. I drove rest of the way home at speed limit. I guess in a way, I got justice done to ME also, scared me proper.

Strangely enough, there is a classic rock station here that is also called The Fox.
Now if it's 99.3, that'd just be creepy.

It gave rise to pop country, which is bad.
Also, sometimes I'm in a situation where I'm forced to hear some of it, this is also bad.
 
I generally pick on idiots.

I've seen people caught by a speed camera TWICE, a mobile police unit once and a traffic light camera once because they fancied racing me and didn't notice anything else.

heh heh, he said fancied. :dopey:

That's a pretty good story though.
 
If I notice someone in my mirror who’s driving like an ass, I’ll usually semi-box them in, like:

[] <– Some other car
[] <– Idiot
[.][] <– Me

… so that they either have to suffer the agony of a slow person in the fast lane, or cut me off and I lay on the horn. I really shouldn’t do that, but if no cops are around, then I feel compelled to administer at least a little justice. ;)
 
Well guys, the other forum I hang out in, www.granturismox.net I told this same story, and it generated some rather interesting replys and seven parody threads of the same thing seen from the differing viewpoints of the other drivers, a State trooper, and a hitchhiker.
Funnier than a rubber crutch on an orthopedic ward.👍

This happened to me once. I was the idiot though.

Was driving normal speed down the road, not paying attention to the fact that everyone else was driving slow.

Why are they all driving slow? My 17 year old inexperienced self thought.

I pull up behind someone driving way to slow, swing around on the left and blaze past him. A few miles past I hit some ice, spin around, and end up in a ditch. The guy I passed a little while back drives by and probably thought "man he was asking for it."


I guess that's why they were driving so slow.

Edit: Anyway, sounds like the guy was asking for it Gil. :)
 
My best "instant karma" story involved a long period of freeway construction where 4 lanes necked down to 2 lanes at the work zone. This of course backed up every day, and since we were all commuters, we frequently got caught with approximately the same people every day. I took to driving my big old Pontiac on the shoulder through the zone, but at the same speed as traffic, so that I was blocking the shoulder for the inevitable "I'm too good to wait with you little people" jerks that would fly up and stuff themselves in at the last possible moment. It worked fine, usually; it's a big car.

One day some clown in a big van came flying up behind me, blowing the horn and shouting. I politely waved and continued cruising at the same 5-10 mph everyone else was. Soon enough, the guy blasted around on the grass, almost nailing me, and flew up the shoulder at 40-50, looking for a hole to force his way into.

But about 200 yards ahead, a semi wasn't having any of it. Just before the van got there, the semi turned about 45 degrees right and stretched the trailer all the way across the shoulder and well into the grass right in front of the speeding van. The van driver didn't even have time to brake; he swerved, skidded in the grass, and ended up well and truly stuck in the mud of the stormwater basin just off the freeway.

Which of course gave us all plenty of time to catcall at him as we filed slowly past...
 
:lol:

Justice served ... well done to both Duke for sterling blocking duties and to that unknown lorry driver for dishing out some just desserts 👍.

It gives me a sense of peace that, every now and again, the forces-that-be end up giving the finger to those that have truly earned a little rap on the wrist from reality :D.
 
Not everyone who speeds or tries to budge through deserves justice, ever thought about they might be in a hurry? I have two stories to tell here!

When my sister was pregnant and in labour i was rushing to get to hospital i was bombing down motorway 90+mph when some guy thought he would be smart and pull into my lane to slow me down (about 50mph) and continues to do this for about a mile i didnt want to undertake him incase he pulled back to the left lane, when he finally gives up i drive along side him and put my window down - he does the same and i shout at him "my sister is having a baby in hospital - what is your ****ing problem" and i just go on as he said nothing!

Another story, i was on the motorway with three lanes - left one blocked and queued back, i am going through middle lane as the left one merges to different place, when suddenly - i get a puncture, so in order to get to hard shoulder i have to basicly stop in middle lane and try to get into the queue and onto the shoulder when i try this some guy thinks i am jumping the queue and starts going off his head i roll down my window and shout "put your ****ing window down!" he put it down and before i could speak he said " your not getting in here you should have waited in the queue you cheeky ba$tard" so i said "excuse me you ****ing w@nker but i have a puncture and need to use the shoulder" the guy apologised and let me through!

Some of those stories - i agree those people are idiots, but based on personal experiences some people do get the wrong opinion of what people are doing!

hehe cool stories, I had one of those two!

In the US I was drviing home with my bro from school. Behind us was a subara wrx sti, floored it passed us and about 10 meteres up the road there was a cop. BUSTED! I thought it was funny.

Here in germany you better move when someones pushing you from the back otherwise the cops will stop you for not letting the faster cars pass.
