OH sh!t ! i saw a car flip on the 210
OH **** ! i saw a car flip on the 210
ok so on saturday the 19th i was going to the UTI open house in rancho.
i was on the 210 east, it was raining at around 9:45am.
so there i was cruising at around 75mph in the fast lane, yea i know its fast for the hard rain, and theres this new 5 series bmw behind me. he keeps trying to pass by going into the right lane but cant since theres a car there so he just gets back in my lane and follows like 30 feet behind me.
until i see a sign on the right side that said "flooded" so i was like oh crap and i slowed down to around 50-60, the bmw changes lanes and speeds up to prob around 80-85 but cant pass so he gets back in my lane again.
then i see a HUGE puddle covering about 3 lanes so i was like oh good thing i slowed down, i go through it no problem. then i look in the rearview to see if the bmw is still trying to pass me. however i see it in the air and it lands upside down, bounces and hits the median.
i was like WTF just happened, i pulled over about 400 feet past the flipped car, it was raining hard so i decided i wouldnt run over there just yet. so i pulled out my phone and dialled 911 but for some odd reason it kept saying my call could no be completed i tried like 10 more times and gave up. i looked back at the car and i see a truck stopped next to it so i was ok hes gonna help him.
i took a few mins to chill and then resumed my journey.
SHORT VERSION:
it was raining hard and a car behind me was going really fast and flipped twice.

Yeah on Friday I was right behind a truck who hit a van on the 5 north.
The truck driver had his door open and the van driver was standing by it & talking to him.
Then outta no where he floored it and almost killed the guy he was talking to.
I've been through 2 hit and runs (one causing $1000 in damage) and the traffic added to my impatience.
I followed the truck almost killing myself until I could get it's plates to report it to CHP.
I know it's probably the dumbest thing I did but I lost patience for idiots.
Funny thing was I dialed 911 and I was put on hold!

okay... notice what the real problem is...
We call cops for help and the put us on hold or "call cannot be completed." They rather sit on their asses and give us tickets for making a left turn on double solids.
You have no idea how much I hate them!

Seriously, they have time to ticket us for bullsh*t stuff yet they take forever to help us out. There was a party next door and my mom called the cops.. took them an hour to get there.
anyways.. the 210 is killer. I hate driving there in the rain. There's always puddles everwhere and i can feel my car hydroplaning here and there. i didnt see an accident but i did see a bently continental

you did a whaty who what now?^^
AZ has the worst drivers in the rain. People drive 25 in a 45. Every single time it rains. Its been raining a lot the last few weeks. The roads get totally covered in water fast though, since we dont get rain most the year, it doesnt run off much. You cant see the lines, but go more than 25, honestly.

When your on the 210E, and you know where it splits with the 134 and you have to stay on the right hand side to stay on the 210E? Well, when it does that nice left curve under the overpasses, I do 100. I like it when its dark too. Lights are on. I feel like im doing a commercial, hehe
