Almost died and got arrested for street racing in a 30 minute time frame
Ok it was a nice day out, and I am cruise home from work on the MA turnpike minding my own buisness. And what do I see ahead? Not a big deal, a tractor trailer trucks in the far right lane (slow lane) with his left blinker on. I think nothing of it, besides alot of times they will travel with thier emergancy blinkers on, and maybe the right blinker was out. So I continue on cruising in the fast lane, then....all of the sudden the F_ck turns left and proceeds to pull a u turn onto the other side of the highway. Keep in mind he is blocking the ENTIRE EAST BOUND LANES!!!!! Sooooo, I quickly (30 feet or less for room) decide...."Do I wana make the car a convertable by going under the car, risking my life, but being able to retire cause I sued thier ass for all the money they have. Ooooor I can go around the truck, try to hit the break down lane just right without hitting the guard rail. I choose option 2, hit the break down lane. So I got into the breakdown line with inchs to spare, ended up fish tailing out of the lane and barley surviving. The sad part was there were alot of cars behind him and they almost all crashed as well. Soo after being shooken up for a little bit, I calm down and continue my drive. I get between exit 2 and 1 and there was a pack of high modified cars comming up on me driving real fast. About 10 of them. All from mustangs, supra's, talon's ect....and then we pass a cop and he starts to follow them. The whole time I am thinking, I better not get associated with this nonsense, I just wana go home, take a swin and light up a fatty and chill. So we get to the toll booths and I take the exit ramp. And there was a 2 state troopers blocking us all off, and demanding we all pull over. By this time I am pissed. I got 2 tickets, 1 more I loose the license for a month, and I cant afford that. Cop comes to my car, ask's the normal license and reg and I give it to him. Then i ask him if I can tell him somthing, and I say "I just want to let you know, I dont know these a$$holes. They were driving like a bunch of morons. I am just trying to get home and I know why you pulled them over and I know why you pulled me over, and I can assure you 110% I have nothing to do with them". He says "ok sure" and walks away. By this time I am real pissed. I almost died and I want to go hoooome so bad. He comes back, say's "you are free to go" WOOOO HOOO!!!!. I ask him if I can back up 5 feet to get my exit cause I only live 10 minutes away from it. He says no, goto the next exit down the road. Which is 10 miles away. Needless to say, it took me a half hour out of my way to get home, but it was better then dying or getting arrested [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Yeah, man, I'm glad you made it back in one piece. I'm surprised the cop believed you. Normally you'd go down with the rest of the a$$holes you didin't even know.

Thats pretty hardcore....although the thing with the trucker doesn't surprise me man.....they do whatever they want, regardless of who else is next to them
It's a pain in the balls to pull a tractor trailer over. You have to get along side of it with the lights and siren on...and it just takes a long time to get it stopped.

i am in still a total shock that he actaully pulled a move like that. i hate people......
really, when you are driving, cops are never around when you need them. truckers around here go about 90 on the freeways, dont check their blind spots, just cut in front of people....ooooo it really chaps my hide (haha remember that from the salsa commercials from back int he day? yeah i know im retarded....)i jsut wish they would build a separate freeway or something so that they can drive somewhere without other cars.....
on a side note, just a coupla weeks ago, a tanker crashed on teh I-5, major major freeway here in san diego. it jackknifed and took up all for lanes. it was carrying the asphalt stuff for the roads, and it caught on fire. the freeway was blocked all day and all nite....finally got the fire out, hazmat had to come out.....it was crazy.
