If this thread was a cartoon, Unit would be a huge 50 foot tall cyclops, and there would be all little humans hanging all over him and climbing up his legs and ****, stabbing him with little knives while he tries to throw them off and step on them.

I have no problem with that. I would've gladly moved over to let him pass if he would've gone about it properly. I do however have a BIG problem with someone riding my *** at 90mph...literally 3 feet from me.

Very true... if anybody ever threw something at my car, I would go ballistic. And I'm not talking about file-a-police-report-ballistic, either.

That's exactley what you will get throwing **** at peoples car. That's not worth it. As pissed as I get I do want to throw things but I would never do that because you never know who your messing with now days.

Same here Jon. There is a wall on the highway for a reason. It's for putting someone into that bitch when they throw stuff at your car.

Rubbin's racin' my friend.

I think we're elevating this a to a different level that someone tailgating...talking about shooting people.

I got one like that too. I was cruising home one night from a Devils vs Flyers game. On the way home, I am cruising ~80mph in the center lane. No traffic close by, but some ahead. This jacka$$ gets up behind me and starts flashing his brights and flooring it/slamming his brakes. So i get over to the far right lane, and he follows suit. So i figured he wants to race so I gun it once to get his attention. He doesn't seem to want to, so i brake check him. He still continues on his annoying antics. So i decide fine, I leave him. I gun it up to 95-100 til I catch up the traffic ahead and he was behind. Needless to say he eventually catches up and continues. He has pissed me off to the point where I am not gonna even let him by when he is done. After another 10min he gets in the left lane and begins to leave, so i gun it and get over and block while cruising next two big rigs in the right two lanes. After 5-10min of that and him continuing his ****, I gun it past the traffic then up to ~135 and thinkin i finally got rid of the a-hole.

HE FREAKING GETS UP BEHIND ME AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE LANE. By this time, I whip out the cell and call non-emergency Highway Patrol. I told them what was happening(minus the whole 135mph thing) They said they would have car there to investigate and about 10minutes later I see flashing lights and the guy behind me gets pulled over, I stop too, to talk to the officer and it turns out it was a pissed off flyers fan and his buddies(they lost to the Devils). They were all REALLY REALLY drunk, and the cop thanked me for calling them. I said no problem and was on my way.


Oh, and Unit, sorry for the hijack!

I didn't even think they could've been drunk, I just thought they needed to be dealt with and talked to. But, yeah, i always like reading threads when stupid a$$ people get pulled off the street

No problem brotha man...just sharing an experience of mine.

Here's one...

A buddy and I were driving home from the bar in separate cars. My friend is a phenominal driver (pro). Anyway, a drunk flies past me and cuts me off by literally 6 inches. He does the same to my buddy, who has a nice temper too mine you. So my buddy downshifts and jumps in front of the guy. The guy tries to swerve around my friend, but he swerves right with the guy.

Bottom line is that the drunk guy got put into the wall at about 75mph. I drove through the wreckage Days of Thunder style.

I'm not advocating that or saying it's right, just telling the story. For the record, we were both completely sober. That guy was going to kill someone that night. As it turns out, he killed his own car.

I can't stand people that tailgate. Then again, I can't stand left-lane-bandits either.

Common courtesy goes a long way. Unfortunately, it has become long-gone from many folks.

I think you're completely wrong for two things:
-hanging out in the left lane
-driving and talking on the cell


I drive to and from Orlando (120 miles) about twice a month in my car on the highway and I tailgate left lane dwellers when I have to in order to prove a point. 99% of the time they move over to the right lane. It's the law of the road.
dont ever come to austin. the whole damn city is filled with left lane campers who WILL flick you off
