asshole de jour
this just happened not 10 minutes ago and I am ****ED! I was coming
home and getting off at my exit from the freeway... this exit is kind of like a cloverleaf in that the onramp from the previous exit turns into the offramp for my exit, but it's like 3/4 mile long. Anyway merging in from the previous onramp is some yellow POS SUV followed by a "road train" with two trailers. The truck driver is impatient and the SUV is sloth merging which doesn't help any. Truck runs right up on SUV's ass to try to encourage him to merge a little closer to the speed of traffic. SUV slows down and puts on hazards as if to say "**** you, I'm gonna merge however I want" to the road train. Road train driver TRIES TO PASS ASSHOLE SUV DRIVER ON THE GODDAMNED SHOULDER. ****er BLASTED the front of my poor car with all sorts of gravel and dirt, windshield looks like I just let loose with a sandblaster on it. ****er is goddamned lucky I didn't have a hammer or a tire iron with me, I was ****ed enough I would have thrown it through his ****ing windshield, illegal though that is. Where's a goddamn "how's my driving" sticker when you ****ing need one? ASSHOLE! I hope you die in a flaming wreck, and I mean that. Selfish prick. nate |

Ouch! That makes me angry just hearing about it.
How much will it coast to repair your vehicle? Was it your Stude, the Porche or the Impala this happened to? |

While I don't condone either driver's behavior I am curious how you knew he would have been able to slow down far enough in the given distance. Most people overestimate the brakes of any truck-trailer combo and there are situations where you only have the choice between trying to make it around the sloth and hitting him. Chris |

He didn't have to slow down, just stop accelerating. The fact that he was able to do so is evidenced by the fact that he didn't hit the SUV. (there was no way he was going to actually pass on the shoulder, it wasn't wide enough.) > > Most people overestimate the brakes of any truck-trailer combo and there > are situations where you only have the choice between trying to make it > around the sloth and hitting him. > He never did pass him, he was just trying to intimidate him into driving correctly. Which is fine until other people start getting affected by the road games. It's one thing to mess with an asshole, it's another to involve third parties. nate |

Still a little annoyed about the windshield though, it is now about twice as sandblasted as it was yesterday AM. nate |

Sorry, but that is bull****. You DON'T OVERDRIVE YOUR ****ING BRAKES! Especially in a truck. The SUV driver was an idiot or an asshole or both. The truck driver should be shot. |

You DON'T OVERDRIVE YOUR ****ING BRAKES! If someone pulls in in front of you and cuts you off you are not overdriving your brakes. The driver on the onramp has to make sure he either is so far ahead that the driver behind him can safely brake (and technically shouldn't even have to brake) or he has to wait until the truck has passed him and pull in behind it. What would you do if you are driving along the right lane at a legal 60mph and some SUV idiot cuts you off at 30 with much less than the brake distance necessary to scrub off the speed? Disappear into thin air? Tunnel through him? Smash into him although you could have avoided a possibly fatal accident by pulling into the emergency lane and risk spraying some guy behind you with some gravel, for heaven's sake? And don't tell me you advocate driving on the freeway at 30mph to avoid such a situation. > Especially in a truck. The SUV driver was an idiot or an asshole or both. > The truck driver should be shot. The truck driver very likely had no other option. He had the right of way and the right to drive at a legal speed in the right lane. The SUV cut him off and forced him to take evasive action. That Nate's car got damaged is regrettable but better than a smashed SUV and possibly dead passengers therein. The funny thing is that I used to think like you until I pulled a trailer with the Dodge for the first time. But I can assure you, getting cut off by idiots either wanting to make the exit or neglecting to accelerate on the on-ramp gives you a totally new perspective. Chris |
