    Busy traffic after work in downtown streets. Traffic is at a standstill. One by one, cars are going around this one car that is double parked. The owner of his car is standing by the wheel of his car, JUST STANDING THERE. Other people are standing around him, yelling at him too. Everyone that has to go around him is honking and giving him the finger, yelling at him as they pass. He's just standing there, arms crossed, head down.

    As our car passes him, I look over to see what the guy's problem is.

    Ends up, he had a pedestrian under his car. :(

    My buddy and i were drivin into georgia the other day and this guy in an impala that was painted neon yellow and light blue with about 25 in rims on it passed me. About five mins later we saw his car on the side of the road and he was standing next to it. His rear left wheel had completely come off of the car and i think the part of the axel had broken also.

    I was on a four lane divided freeway traveling in the fast lane. Traffic had slowed down to 35 MPH for some reason. Don't recall why, wasn't a wreck or anything like that.

    Jackass on a sportbike is running his high beams in my right side mirror and doing the cool guy weave behind me. There is highway patrol unit two cars ahead of me. I lift off the gas slightly to request that cool guy back off my bumper a bit. Cool guy decides he's going to split lanes to get by me. (legal in California, but has to be done "prudently") Cool guy cruises by me, the car in front of me, then the highway patrol unit. He had maybe a foot of clearance between himself and each vehicle on either side of him when he passed the cop.

    I think he startled the cop, because the lights and siren came on immediately.:D Jackass decides to run and continues splitting lanes. Cop drives his 3/4 ton Chevy truck (they use these for commercial truck inspections here) into the center divider and floors it. :eek: About two hundred yards later the jackass decides running wasn't a good idea and pulls over.

    Maybe a minute or two later, I pass them. Cool guy and his girlfriend are off the bike, helmets off. The cop is just walking up to them. He appears professional, but pissed. :)

    Made my day!

    At the beach on a unpaved road this group of girls in a land rover (two of them sitting out them windows, on the doors) blew past me, going around me and off the trail at around 25mph. The driver even flipped me off...
    but about 100the feet down the road they hit a deep rut, both the girls in the windows fell out of the truck, and they totaled the front on a rock.
    I still stopped to help those bitches though, had to call an ambulance for one of the girls who fell out and hit her face on a rock.

    #2 at the beach, on a somewhat paved road-
    Tourists in ! Rental mustang overtake me on the unpaved shoulder, not realizing there's a large drop off the asphault, and gets stuck. One of the wheels was ripped off and the suspension was dun.

    Stupid people are stupid

    When I was 18 I worked for a railroad salvage company and I was riding with one of the truck drivers in the truck with my 322 Cat excavator with wide load signs on the Lowboy and the front of the truck as required. A guy mustang couldn't get around us on this little 2 lane highway so he decided to use the shoulder and ended up hitting a sign. Behind the sign was a State patrol officer with his yellow lights flashing from finishing writing a ticket. The guy in the mustang wrecks his car and gets a ticket.

    At the beach with posted 10mph speed limit. So bro in his Tundra decides to bust out a few donuts. About 10 seconds after he starts a cruiser goes by and stops right in front of him. Bro keeps doing donuts with cops 6ft away. Then finally he stops directly face to face with the cop car. LOL. They wasted no time yanking everyone out of the car.

    Last friday I was cruising home from San Jose after a night of bar hopping (I didn't have any alcohol [Designated Driver]) at around 3AM when a white 2007+ Ford Expedition flew by going at least 85 (I was going about 72MPH) and when he flew by he was driving on the reflectors/lane dividers on my side.

    So I sped up a little bit to see how he/she was driving, They couldn't drive straight... It kept bobbing into the left and right lane, By the time I came to conclusion they were drunk they sped up (paranoid?) to about 90MPH. A white SUV is pretty common out here and I didn't get a plate number, So I had to let it go and hope for the best... 10 miles later I see the white Expedition on the side of the road with CHP behind it :)

    Do people realize they can subscribe to threads without posting in them, right? :confused: (Hint: thread tools drop-down)

    Need a TW PSA on this. Perhaps we can weave in how ATRAC is best for off-roading. 2 birds, 1 stone.

    Not long after my Dad brought home his Porsche we went out riding around at about 10 pm in April, it was a beautiful night btw clear sky's low humidity cool air etc perfect time to drop the top, when we were on the way home some jackasses in a Chevy Silverado SS decide that they want to race us and pull up beside us and take off and then back off, put truck in netural rev it up, etc just egging us on to race them. We got about a mile out of the city limit where it was finally a bit straight and a broken line the guys floor it and hit 90+ easy around the turn ahead my dad wanted to catch up to him and show him what the Porsche had but I told him not to. We get a few miles down the road and see the lights besides the road with the same jackasses pulled over getting a ticket.
