Default Driving DUMB

This is the deal:

8pm
Around Horace Harding Expressway
It was a SC300
Black
One guy and I think a female passenger.
License plate: DYO 7***

The rest of the numbers faded off my arm..cuz i wrote it down....

Well...U were tailgating me like ridic and trying to get ahead of me..even though there was nothing but traffic ahead of me...I was very tempted to slam the brakes..get out and give u hell..

but insted I just waited till u got ahead of me...pulled up next to u and looked into your car so you cud feel like a retard and I floored so u can smell some of my goos rubber from teh tires

then u meet me down at another light..pull up next to me...stare...and then floor it like a turtle(y did u bother, ITS STOCK!)...

I get mad...get ahead of you...pull over and double park--get out of my car!...but apparently u just ran away...

well..the point here..is its not nice to tailgate and drive like a moron!!!


We shud really do something about people who drive like IDIOTS.
People who dont check their blind spot before changing lanes..
Tailgate in Traffic...etc.


If he was tailgating me on an open highway..I'd give him way...--BUT IN TRAFFIC??

I drive pretty fast as it is..but this guy was just a real character!!

lol tant no need to make 2 threads lol, if someone is tailgating me on the highway, i line up with the guy next to me and drive the same speed as him or if its one lane then i just slow my *** down till he attempts to pass then i drop the gear to 2nd and just smoke him.

It might not have been a CL member here, but I know you feel. Though making a thread about that driver in particular isnt really good either. As Joe said some drivers in NYC just dont give two s#!ts about other drivers. And some are just out trying to show off, like the one who tailgated you. On his part, he is pretty stupid to be following so close to you. Imagine you had to stop and he kept going.....

And we cant really do much about idiot drivers, for one I truely hate T----C drivers in NYC. MOST of them will repeatitly cut you off or weave through highway lanes at high speed, just nearly clipping you. Fact is we dont know who the idiots are, people can drive normal and then go pyschotic anytime on the highway or the streets.

Just drive safe people, you dont, you might get away here and there. But once you have that major accident, you'll look back at how stupid/ignorant/selfish/irresponisble and unsafe you were.

Had a Buick SUV do that to me at 85mph on the freeway this weekend. She had kids too, which was sad...endangering the lives of your children just to drive home fast...

I usually tap my brakes but I didn't want her to flip the car due to the panic it instills...
