Rude Drivers..... - sa4877 - 09-06-2005
Hi,
Just had another one of those fcked up drivers chewing at me today. What the hell is one expected to do in such situations.
I am talking about the driver behind you who flashes his lights at you and almost knocks you from behind even though you are driving at the max permisable speed. What is one suposed to do?
1. Speed up and get a ticket?
2. Move into another lane and let someone else break the law?
Any comments?

Get the hell outa da way! It's probs me, hahahahahahahahaahahaha. I hate people who drive on the outside (fast) lane and do not check rear view mirror for faster moving traffic!
If I wanna break the speed limit, that is my choice, just getta da hell outa de way! :lol:

Yeah fair enough if someone's in the fast lane and you're slowing them down, it would be the right and polite thing to give way...but in a sane manner! I don't give way to those yahoos that come right up your tail without any warning! Flash your lights at me from a fair distance and I will give my inWakerleyator and change lanes when possible, but no way am I going to respond to a maniacal freakshow from inches behind my car, I don't care if its a Landcruiser or a Smart Car

I normally whip out my digital camera and take photos, scares the heck out of them. These people are the idiots causing the accidents on the roads.
Speed kills - nuff said.

What does this have to do with me getting laid? :roll:

Actually speed does not kill, although they say it can and is the main cause.
From my observations of years of driving, its those idiots that do not move out of the way of faster traffic and make people undertake them!
I you see a guy behind you flashing lihgts, hitting the horn and waving like mad, its ME! hahahahahaahahahahahahaha, get the hell out of the way, cos you can bet that I will undertake, pull in front of you and slam my brakes on!
Yes, I drive fast, I know the risks I take, but I always try and flash a good distance away from the car in front of me. I know the risks I take, I know that sometimes I break the law in speding, but other road users ought to be aware of whats going on around them, and that includes using the thing in the middle top of your windscreen, yes it's the rear view mirror and the two things that sit on the fornt two doors, externally! Yes, they are side mirrors = people USE THEM. Be aware of the traffic around you.

if someone is driving too close to you...and then giving lights...than my suggetion would be to use breaks...that way he will hit you....your damage will be recovered by the insurance....but he will definitely get a few black points....and being hit from the back..u r not at fault its the drivers fault who did'nt maintain the distance.....so next time he will take care....i tried it once.....seriously its a lot of fun

I heard if you hit a pedestrian, they get paid no matter who was at fault?

I hope you haven't got your girlfriend next to you when you are taking the risks... you know the risks but your passenger doesn't. That's why drivers always survive in bad accidents and the front seat passengers always serious injuried or died.
BECAUSE you are the driver, you know what you are doing but your passenger has no idea what you are doing.

I totally agree !!!! we should follow the speed rules cause these rules are there for our safety anyway .... its not a fair deal ... to trade life for a short thrill !!!!

Yorky, what a pathetic thing to say, it's people like you who cause all the accidents!
Do you ever stop to think that if you come speeding up behind someone, flashing that you're actually freaking the person out in front of you, they try desperately to get out of the way and nearly end up causing an accident ytring to push their way into the other lane.
1. You're speeding so YOU are breaking the law.
2. You're under taking so YOU are breaking the law.
If I'm doing the speed limit then no I'm NOT going to get out of your way because YOU are breaking the law.
And CheckShoo is bsaolutely correct, sadly idiot drivers like you rarely get hurt, but what about the innocent people YOU hurt or kill because of your stupidity.
And yes if I hit the breaks, and you're too close then you'll go straight into the back of my car, it'll be your fault as you're too close and you'll have to pay to repair both cars.
I've nothing but contempt for people who drive like idiots, and parents who don't strap their kids in the back WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!!!!
Drop a water melon from a first floor apartment onto the floor, and the result is what happens to a childs head when they hit the windscreen - not a pleasant thought is it!

ha ha ha.... whenever someone flashes his lights at me at over 120 km/hr I just put on my hazard lights and slow down. ts fun to watch big guys growl!!
Thats of course wthout putting others on the road at risk.

Yeah another good trick is if you have a few mates with 4x4's go out in convoy and when you get an idiot, box him in on all sides, it totally freaks them out! Done that a few times and when they realise what's going on they totally freak.
