Dumbasses dropping debris on the freeways

Ted Striker · May 5, 2003, 22:22

I'm getting tired of morons doing stupid **** like strapping mattresses to the roof of their cars and expecting that **** to actually stay on while they are driving 70-85 miles per hour and higher on a packed rush hour freeway.

Dumbasses put their hands out the window like somehow they are going to keep the mattress flying off with the strength of one hand while they are driving.

I've almost got into accidents 4 times now because some dumbass didn't strap down his cargo and it fell on the freeway.

Today a guy spun out across 6 lanes but luckily by some miracle of God didn't get hurt or didn't hit anybody.

So next time you are moving ****, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CARGO IS SECURE BEFORE PUTTING OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES AT RISK.

i was once driving 3 cars behind a guy driving with a refrigerator (in a box) strapped to the top of his truck. It fell off and nearly caused a pile up.

Ted Striker · May 5, 2003, 22:34

wtf?!?!

What an *******.

I MEAN CAN A DAMN REFRIDGERATOR WAIT?! PAY THE $50 AND HAVE IT DELIVERED!!!

Hey orange did you have to swerve or slam on the brakes?

Roadwar!

It's the cheap bastards who want to save a few bucks instead of doing it safely.

People are such morons.

I once threw a Coke cup out the window while on the freeway. It hit some guy's windshield, and he tried to make a big deal out of it, so I swerved off the freeway on the next exit. Son of a *****! I lost 10 minutes on that detour.

Ted Striker · May 5, 2003, 23:30

You're kidding right?

Yes....I am.

Here's a synopsis of an altercation I had with a guy.

This bunghole was trying to keep me from getting into the right lane in order to turn right at an upcoming intersection. I don't know why. I try to speed up, he speeds up. I try to slow down, he slows down. Finally, I hit the gas and pass him, getting up to about 80 or so in a 40 mph zone. He starts tailing me so I slam on my brakes... really bad too

... he starts honking, and I hang my middle finger out the window. I prevent him from trying to get in front of me and he follows me as I turn onto a one lane road. He tries to get on my ass, but each time, I slam on my brakes. At one point he almost flew off the road trying to avoid me. After about 2 miles of this, I proceed to turn right onto a two-lane road. He tries to come along side me on my left side. I threw a wrench at his car as I turned, leaving a nice dent. He pulls a really reckless turn trying to catch me. About 100 feet from the intersection, he rams his car into my passenger side front fender. I grab a tire iron I had handy and jumped out of the car ready to rumble. He backs up quickly and drives off. But before he gets too far, I throw the tire iron. It pierces his driver's side door and he speeds off.

At this point, I grab my cell phone and call 911. I followed the guy until the cops pulled him over. We both went to the police station to straighten the situation out. In the end, he got ticketed for reckless driving and leaving the scene of the accident. I get a ticket for disorderly conduct, for which I pleaded out for a 50 dollar fine. In the end, this guy had to pay for my damage, as well as getting his license suspended and his own damage, plus the damage I caused

What was funny was that this guy was a 30 something, yuppy-type driving a Pontiac Grand Prix. Also... his wife was in the car. The whole situation was asinine. I don't know what this guy was thinking, or why he decided to **** with me.

The judge told me I should not react to situations like that the way I did, citing that this whackjob could have had a gun. I simply responded, "Well I could have, too."

This happened at the end of August last year.

Driving down a highway in my new car three years ago I notice something like rocks bouncing onto the highway from a pickup 50 yards ahead. Since the road was packed I had nowhere to go. One of the rocks slammed into my windshield cracking it.

Yeah, but since I was a few cars back it wasn't so bad for me. The car directly behind him had to swerve off the road, though. He just kept on going. I could anticipate it happening though, as I was watching it slip thinking 'that's going to fall, that's going to fall, that's falling, that just fell'

Dis · May 6, 2003, 02:19

it doesn't matter in my cities. you can't go over 35 mph on the freeways where I live. Not as bad as LA, but not good either.

I was out on my bicycle last Saturday and rode past a pipe fitting just lying in the middle of a country road. A new one at that. I just wondered how the hell it got there.

The funniest one I have ever seen was a wheel coming off a car. I was a couple of cars back from a crappy Ford when it suddenly pulled over to the left (we drive on that side of the road around here

) and this black object rolled down the road. Turned out his rear right wheel had simply detached itself and carried on without him.

So it doesn't just happen on TV.

orange · May 6, 2003, 12:41

on TV, though, the guy would keep driving with it, a high speed chace would ensue, he would drive on his rims for 50 miles, somehow reach the Los Angeles City Limits (No matter where he started from), run into traffic, pull over, exit the vehicle, run into the hills, get chased by police officers, and then get arrested for the drugs in his trunk.
