I was driving on the 52 EB (just east of the 5) and this guy gets on the freeway and jams on his breaks. He crosses the freeway from right to left so I steer to the right, then spins over to the right and I move to the left, and he spins to the left and I move to the right, and the he spins and stops right in front of me. I managed to steer around him ... I was so close I thought I most have hit him. I got out and checked ... no contact. Wow was I ever shaking. I'm sure the traction control and antilocks saved my ___ and his (or hers). That and not much traffic. Or the Hand of G-d. My unmentionables are still clean! I'm not sure how long this all actualy took. I'm sure only a few seconds. I do like to leave seconds of space in front of me when I can. I seems like it lasted hours. Everything realy was in slow motion.
MOO

 

glad to hear your ok and nothin happened to you...had somethin similar happen to me the other nite....scary as hell

 

We take care of our boxes, and they do their best to take care of us.

Glad you came through that OK.

Sounds like a wild ride. What was the guys problem??

 

very lucky

 

yeah, what's up with that? Was the guy just like " i think i'll get on the highway, get going really fast and slam my brakes and jerk the wheel hard left and right???

 

Your pants may be clean, but it looks like your box crapped it's paint.

 

^^^ LOL but glad to hear that you are okay. It's reasons like this that I installed REALLY REALLY loud horns on my car. These things can wake up the dead.... ON MARS!@ I've really layed on them a couple of times (for maybe 5 seconds a piece) and you have to see the reaction I get. When I am at a 4 way stop sign, and the other person stops second but wants to go first, I've layed on the horn and the person stops dead in their tracks and finally notices me... There are some really bad drivers out there... Just went to new hampshire this weekend again and saw people getting onto the highway then immediaetly into the 3rd (passing) lane... they had to have been doing maybe 30-40mph when I'm in that lane doing 70-80... I almost threw my large 32 oz. FULL-TO-THE-BRIM taco bell cup out of my sunroof so i could hit one of these jerks... I'm not a mean person and I don't have road rage but when I am cruisin along on a 3+ hour trip, and someone drives in front of me at half my speed, almost killing me, I will not stand for it. I will do what I need to do. =P

- sh00k

 

I hate bad drivers as well. But as of right now, I'm a little more interested in checking out your sunroof.
