Default wats the most messed up move done to u on the road

sorry, have to vent.

everyday, someone cuts you off or doesn't signal and gets in your way, risking an accident, but usually it's by accident. tonight, christmas eve, on my way home, im on a long sweeping curve, passing a FX45 that's driving kinda fast, and in mid turn around 55 mph, he swerves into my lane trying to sandwich me into the wall so that i wouldn't pass him. there was no mistake that the move was deliberate. just couldn't believe this behavior could exist on christmas.

what's some stuff uv been through?

Merry Christmas, guys!

not really anything done to me tonight, but I had a heck of a time getting home tonight. Encountered 3 bumpers on different parts of different freeways.

On the 10 west I was in the far left lane and was cruising along listening to music. All of a sudden I see something dark and big in the road in front of me. There was a spun out car that had crashed into the wall and was facing me in my lane. Barely missed it. I'm guessing it was a drunk driver that had spun out.

^^ same thing happened to me once.coming back home from snowboarding from big bear on the 10 west around the Pomona area,A full sized van was parked on the far left lane lights out without hazards on.I barely missed it but i was going to fast and started to fish tail and i clipped a 3000gt.police came to the scene and said the Van was on the shoulder and it was my fault.I said to the cop"what shoulder...?you mean that two foot shoulder!!"(remember this was a full sized van even if he was on the two foot shoulder atleat 2/3 of his car was still sticking out into the lane)cop said only way it wouldn't have been my fault was if i had smashed headon into the van.I wasn't wearing a seltbelt at the time,if i would've went headon with the van i would've been ejected from my car.btw this was 10 years ago i had a prelude at the time.got kicked out of my insurance company and everything.

If I was certain that it was deliberate, I would **** him up. What did he say when you confronted him, probably just sped off. I would follow him, and then **** his car up. slash tires, break a window or two, kick body panels...that's if I don't pull out the beretta on impulse and shoot out his tires.

that move he made, could've cost you your life, a leg, permanent scars to end up looking like a freak, who knows.

In simple terms he needed to be "corrected".

I wish it was me instead, he would have learned.

Oh dude, way to many to count.

2 weeks ago some jackass in an Acura TL decided to test his ABS in the middle of an un-crowded city street, right in from of me and a guy in the right lane beside me. There was no place to make a left turn, no driveways or any other reason why someone would decide to come to a complete stop in the left lane on a wet and cold road.

Now I'm driving a 3 ton (empty) Ford E350 van and while I do have antilock disk brakes I weigh 2x what that acura does and I don't stop on a dime, a quarter maybe. For me I had few options. There was a minivan beside be so I couldn't change lanes and he was just a puzzled as me and also slowing down. to the left I had on-coming traffic.

For all of that under full ABS lockup I stopped no more than 3 inches from his rear bumper. I was even looking out over the hood to see if I was going to hit him. After I stopped he took off at normal speed like nothing happened.

How's that for dumb?

Most messed up? Being intentionally side-swiped by a car while I was riding a motorcycle. Would not have figured I'd keep it upright but the rear just stepped out and recovered without a high-side.
