Women with road rage

[Wicked98Snake]

I drive a crappy cavalier to work during the week, there are at least 3 different colors of paint on it from people who thought I cared about my shitty little car, lol. It's really funny when a guy in a brand new Lexus or Mercedes or something tries to force his way into my lane before he realizes I really want him to hit me so his insurance can buy me a better car

Edit: Trublu, your stories are fucking awesome, lol.

Agreed x 1000, please sir, either start a thread of epic police tales, or just keep dropping them in here. Pure gold you have.

Another category of road pricks: handicap people.

Regardless of what the speed limit sign says it really means less to these people. Followed one this morning and they never touched 45mph (in a 55) while staying in the left lane watching butterflies, possibly eating pennies or dreaming about giving people hugs.

I had a taxi driver brake check me on 183 one day, thank god I halfway saw it coming...

why are cabs and towncars always in the fast lane? i live right off 121 north of the airport and i swear its as if no other lanes exist!

god bless.

This kind of thing happens to me all the time on Legacy going east from Preston to 75 when I'm trying to go to the Chinese market over there. Inevitably there's some woman going 30 mph in a 45 who doesn't want to let me pass and will cut over two lanes just to get in front of me. I try to let it slide 99% of the time, but if they're going to cut me off when I'm two lanes of traffic over and not let me get around them when I change lanes it starts to bother me.

On the converse side, I was in the right lane over in the same area one day going 45 (speed limit), and there were two other lanes for her to pass. She was in some large SUV, I think it was a Tahoe, but she was inches from my bumper for a couple miles. I was changing lanes and she was stuck to my bumper like glue, so I gave my e-brake a little tug and she swerved out of the way, but still got back behind me. She followed me for another few miles until I pulled into the parking lot at the market and she stopped and confronted me as if she had done nothing wrong. When I questioned her about why she felt the need to not just go around me if she wanted to break the law and go over the speed limit she said she would call the cops because I brake checked her. I welcomed her to call them, and even offered my cell phone. She backed down and drove away.

Some people just have this sense of entitlement that takes over them, and I'd prefer to just let them go on their merry way. As they say, however, desperate times call for desperate measures.

Few things are worse than a woman putting on makeup who comes flying up behind your bike (I have a cruiser) without noticing you. I yanked the bike over to the shoulder and let her pass but that seemed to piss her off even more. She spent the next 5 miles trying to run me off the road because evidently, my red bike pissed her off beyond all reasoning.

I didn't have many options and couldn't outrun her SUV so I just cut over into the passing lane and romped on the brakes and let her go. That's one of the few times I wish that I would have been armed as I think a couple in her fender would have been appropriate.

I had some dumb bitch in a focus play some stupid shit this am...didnt want to let me over as i waited patiently with my signal on, almost made me miss my exit, then tried to keep me held back all the way up the ramp. At the end of the ramp, i just grabbed a gear and slung around that pos focus before she had any more chance...I think theyre all just bitter bitches.

I'm sure you would have been within your rights. Attempted homicide with an 8000lb rocket.

You know the feeling. The rush of adrenaline was high, no doubt. Given the time and part of town, I wasn't going to play my gun is bigger then yours, so i optioned for the secondary's on the Q~jet and put it on his bumper for about a mile or so.

That's Mad Max style..

[Sean88gt]

Call 911 / cry a little / You in Cuffs

I wasn't worried, I'm fluent in cop and she would have been a mouthy bitch that I was convinced wanted to put the public in harms way.

So you can take action in any city that in the county that you are based in, but not other counties? Like you can't issue a ticket out in Kaufman, or Dallas county since you are based in Tarrant county?

Right!

[JC316]

Officers can issue summons or tickets for any Class C violaition in their presence or view when that area is in any part of the county that their city is in.

For instance I work in FTW. If I see a violation in Arlington, G.P., or any other city in Tarrant County, Johnson County, Parker County, Wise County, or Denton County, I can take action.

I would bet that felt great!

No, call 911. Without the distinctly marked car you never know who might be badging you. Now if you are committing a crime you could be arrested by a cop in plain clothes but it would have to be better then a traffic violation . Chasing someone down because their muffler is too loud is a little bit of overkill I would think. You could get a ticket though even though the Officer does not work in that city. He just has to file it with that court and not his own.

About the muffler thing, it was a '71 Mustang running headers, reversed glass-packs and side-exit in front of the rear wheels. It was on a FM road, so I would go into the corners in second with the exhaust crackling pretty hard, but couldn't go too fast due to the skinny wheels/tires up front and the horrible understeer. I'd romp it coming out of the corner and hit third. It was loud as hell in second.

And as far as stopping for him, I didn't, I kept driving to my buddy's house, I figured if this stupid redneck wanted some shit, it could go down on my homeboy's property. Gotta remember, this was the early 90's, not many people had cell phones then like we do now.
