hey guys, i've been reading a lot of "gettin cut off" storys and just wanted to add one more...
I was driving home today on the 605 north in cali going about 90 when out of no where this old oldsmobile
shoots up by me at like 120, so my first reaction was to look over...and to my surprise, it was an old lady drivng with her sit like a foot an a half from the sterring wheel. She then goes and cuts me off and hits traffic and slams her brakes with a loud screeching noiselike maybe 10 feet in front of me, i changed lane right and cleared her bumper by maybe half a foot or so...thank god there was no car next to me...i'm still shaken by it and very pissed!!!

Man did you bitch her out? I would have. What was she doing? Trying to slow you down thinking she was doing a good thing? You mean she hit someone? Sorry for all the questions.

lol, man I don't think ive EVER seen a gramma do over the speedlimit here hehe, but yeah man I wonder what her deal was, Matrix was probably right about thinking she was doing a good thing.

Old folks.......the most dangerous people on the road (at least 16 year olds have quick relflexes, can hear, and have peripheral vision).

no, i was already passed her to have done anything, but she almost hit the car in front of her and the car behind me b4 i changed lanes nearly rear-ended her.

As for thinking that she was doing a good thing, i doubt it cause she was the one hiting 120 or something...and i don't think cutting me off was a smart thing either.

btw...Amphiprion, u are so right!

I got a story to add to this.....

I was driving back to school (NJ to MD) at about 6:30 this morning. Now, there are these 2 guys in a freakin SATURN (the one with the 3rd door...all I could do was laugh!) So I guess they are trying to check out my car and stuff so they keep slowing down in front of me and changing lanes. I started to get fed up so I moved over and passed them. I guess they thought I was messin around cause out of nowhere they fly by me going about 100. They blocked me in next to 3 tractor trailer for about 15 minutes. They were now driving 60....5 UNDER the speed limit next to the trucks. It was so crazy. Finally other people caught up to us and saw these kids messing around. They all helped me out and we blocked the kids for so long. It was kinda funny in the end..... These stories are so much harder to tell then they are to actually watch happen.......

we really need a retesting system, the idiots would probably be able to pass, but it might get the old people off the streets. ive had a lot of close calls and almost all of them have been because of old people who have no clue whats going on around them

I get all sorts of @ssholes behind me, alot of people see my plates "krazyie" and their like, he's not crazy, I'm crazy, and start to weave and do a hole bunch of stupid stuff. What I like to do with them is if on the interstate I get next to a tractor trailor, slow down to about 60, look back at them in my rearview, and about the time they start to get pissed, drop it into 3ed and hammer it, leaveing them in the dust.[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
