Highway Road Rage

Dumb punk kids causing trouble. Real time.

They thought it would be fun to cut me off, slow down and then block the left lane so I couldn't get by. When they blocked me behind the slow car at 1:20 you can see the guy in the passenger seat flip the bird. When they pulled up beside me it's for the best that you can't see what they were doing in the back seat or hear the things coming out of my mouth. It was at this point that I got out my cell phone and pretended to take pictures of their plates and be talking to the police. When they realised what I was "doing" they quickly got their act together, got out of the way, and smartened up.

I thought it was best to mute the sound on this one haha.

I'd imagine since you were driving 10mph over the speed limit, that they were driving the legal limit. So what you're showing me is someone legally pulling to the same lane as you and driving the speed limit. They never "cut you off" or "flipped the bird." I think you just have a pathetic life and the most interesting part of your day is just hoping you can find something to record and post on the internet.

@xShazamboobam Very insightful. How's MW3?

@CptSchmidt Actually pretty good, I just played the new map today. Been busy playing Skyrim after work, it's a much more relaxing game to play.

@CptSchmidt Please excuse the fact that my posts are out of order lol

@CptSchmidt and passed the other vehicle. You were never placed in danger. You placed yourself in a dangerous situation by trusting this 17 year old's driving abilities enough to ride that closely behind him.. Lets say he had a blow out. Would you trust his driving abilities to keep you out of a dangerous situation? If this did happen and your corrections and his did not mesh together your crime might not be so victim-less. Just be safe and relax lol

@CptSchmidt OIC I was not familiar with road geeking, but it makes sense. Forgive my ignorance regarding your hobby. I won't admit you are not in the wrong due to the fact that most vehicle accidents are due to high speeds. I'm not completely innocent. I speed too, but I don't get upset when someone going the speed limit makes a legal lane change to pass another vehicle. He didn't cut you off though. There was a clear turn signal, he slowly moved over into the other lane,

@McAnally56 And, not that it concerns you, the reason I shared this is because I'm part of an online community that shares driving videos from around the world. It's called "roadgeeking." When something out of the ordinary happens from our usual videos, like this, it's fun to watch something different. Simply put, if you don't like it you don't have to watch it.

@McAnally56 My driving isn't dangerous. What this driver did was. You don't pull in front of someone going faster than you, slow down, then box them in behind somebody just for a laugh with your pals. Your Scooby-Doo analogy is flawed because those bad guys try to do something harmful whereas I was simply driving home from New Brunswick. Doing 10 over the speed limit on a highway in safe conditions is a victimless crime, reckless driving is not. That's the difference.

[McAnally56]

@CptSchmidt the speed limit is 110 you were doing 120. You were wrong. I don't care what you get away with normally. These laws are there for a reason. Besides what did this really do to you? Delayed you by about 30 seconds? Cry me a river. Sorry for the name calling. But is this really something to share with the world? Your only argument is "I was breaking the law and these pesky kids stopped me" like a bad guy on scooby doo.

[CptSchmidt]

@McAnally56 A hypocrite? Did I do something I said I didn't? Speed limits in most of the world average at 130kmh on highways, FYI. The posted limit on this highway is 110, you can get away with 130 without being ticketed in good weather. On highway trips I normally do 130 and have gone through speed traps without being stopped. And, I didn't take any photos or make any calls, I just lifted up my cell phone and held it there a couple of times.

No need to get personal with name-calling, either.
