I was on my way home from school yesterday, and of course it was already dark out. I use the freeway for most of the trip. The first half of that time has a speed limit of 65 mph, and the second half is 75mph.
I get almost to the end of the 65mph zone and the car in front of me finally pulls over so I can pass. So now I’m going a more comfortable 75ish. Yeah yeah – I speed. It’s no secret to anyone, and ya’ll aren’t new. So we’re just going to move on.
Within like seconds of passing the slow bug in front of me, there is a huge truck within like 2 feet of my back bumper, and then he whips around me, before I even have a chance to move over. Then he zips past me like I was standing still. Now remember, I’m going about 10 over. So he had to be going like warp speed. Whatever. He’s a jackass who is now all of 2 car lengths in front of me because of traffic.
Now within a minute I’m right back behind him, when suddenly a small gray sportscar pulls over to the right lane. I didn’t even know there was a car there, this guy was so far up his ass. As the sportscar pulls over I can see that the asshole SUV is LITIERALLY within a FOOT of his bumper. Any closer and he’s going to drive right over this guy. As the sportscar pulls over he rolls his window down and flips the guy off. I don’t blame him – I wanted to flip him off now too!
So SUV ass takes off again…..to all of about 6 or 7 car lengths farther. It’s rush hour nimrod – no one goes anywhere fast!
I’m behind him again, and there’s kinda a hole in the right lane. I’m not going anywhere in the left lane, so I move over to the right to see if a hole up ahead opens up for me. Plus it would give me the opportunity to get in front in dickhead….because you see – we’ve now crossed into the 75mph zone – and that increases MY acceptable speed.
Just as I move over, sportscar guy come flying up behind the SUV and throws on his brights. SUV ass doesn’t seem to like this, so – as any rational person would do – he throws on the brakes and brings his truck from roughly 80-85 to about 10mph….INSTANTLY.
The sportscar guy obviously has to slam on his brakes to keep from plowing into this guy. He then switches lanes, to accelerate and get past this guy I would imagine. But that’s not to be! SUV ass then whips his truck into the right lane to cut off the sportscar.
Nice. At this point I’m contemplating calling 911 on them. Their behavior has become SOOOO reckless that it’s now a danger to all of us.
Oh! BTW – SUV ass has his kids in the back seat. Just watching cartoons on the TVs. So not only reckless, but child endangerment as well. What lucky kids to have such a “father of the year”! I can only imagine the values being instilled in that family.
The sportscar guy pulled off at the next exit, and things seemed to settle down a bit, so I didn’t call the police. I get off at my exit and move to the left turn area. There is also a car that has pulled into the right turn area. And then guess who pulls inbetween us – where normally someone would go if they inteneded to go straight, which would lead them right back onto the freeway. Yup. SUV ass.
I’m waiting for traffic to clear each way so I can make my left hand turn on my way home. As a hole opens up, I start my turn and this asswipe decides HE’S going to turn left and cut me off! Let’s just say it didn’t work out so well for him, as I didn’t backdown and he was forced to stop in the middle of the street and wait for me to finish turning so he could pull in behind me. It’s quite apparent at this point, that not nearly enough people have beat this guy down in his life until this point. I’d like to volunteer to make up for lost time. Really, I’d do that for him. It’s just the kind of person I am. I’m a giver.
We get to the next (and last) light. He is still behind me, also waiting to make a left hand turn. When there is a space, I turn – and here he comes, gunning the gas to whip around and pass me on the turn – before we even clear the intersection. I allowed this for a very specific reason.
Guess who took down his license plate. Guess who called the Road Rage hotline for Tucson Police Department when she got home. That’s right – I TOTALLY reported his ass. Descrption of the vehicle, license plate, person driving, kids in the back, stopping on the freeway, excessive speeds, endangerment, ALLLLL of it.
You have to be a complete git, if I’M the one reporting you. While I’ll often share a piece of my mind if I disagree with your existence on the roads that I’m fairly certain I own – it usually doesn’t go beyond the confines of my own vehicle and those within who have to endure the rant. Because when it comes to driving, I’m not really one to throw stones from my glass vehicle of maximum velocity.
Dipshit.
