TweetSo im driving home from my moms lastnight,..dark and rainy. This van about 15 cars ahead of me was holding up traffic at 35 in a 55 zone. After a few cars exited the hiway I was behind him, this dude was allover the road and would go 30 then 50, then 30 crossing the centerline. Finally I thought I better put an end to this before he kills someones mom, dad or whoever so I called the local dispatch. So now I have to follow this a$$hole and relay mile posts to the dispatch while the Trooper and Deputy Sheriff set up six miles down the freeway. This really sucked cause I was waiting for him to TA with on comming traffic at any moment now. So finally I seen the two cruisers set up and turned on the hazards, they were on this dips#it quick. I waited at a safe distance to give a statement and come to find out it was jus some ol' coot who was afraid to be driving at night !!! Oh well I tried......

TweetVery smart bro! Old or not, if you can't drive because your nervous you shouldn't be on the road in the first place.

I had a similar thing happen 2 weeks ago. I was driving down a 2 lane road in the left lane. I get within 200 ft of a green light and notice there are 2 cars to the right completely stopped. I look both ways as I was approaching this intersection at about 50MPH because I thought maybe they were stopped because an emergency vehicle was coming through. I saw nothing, so I was going to just continue through the green light at 50. All of a sudden this moron that was stopped at the light in the right lane decided to try and make a left hand turn FROM THE RIGHT LANE IN FRONT OF ME!! I veered into the left turning lane to avoid her and almost t boned her little Plymouth Sundance with my Truck. As I beeped she slammed on her brakes. Of course she was old and confused not knowing wtf is going on.

So after I missed her I looked in my rear view in utter shock from what just happened. As I look back the woman decides to try again and a Buick that was a few hundered feet behind me T Boned this fossil at like 50MPH! The Buick bent that car into a V, and there was an explosion of glass everywhere.

After that the old woman decided to hit her gas & floor it throught the grassy center median. And finally stopped when I blocked her with my truck and called the cops. I stayed to be a witness and told the cop that they need to take this womans license. I then told him that the DMV needs to do mandatory motor skills tests for anyone over the age of 65 years old, along with another driving test to make sure they are not nervous at all. These tests should be taken every other year thereafter. He totally agreed with me and said that he see's so many horrific car accidents because of these old people that have lost their minds. Kind of scary if you think about it.

Anyway not trying to impose my story on your post, but I wanted to let you know that what you did was definetely good. Maybe he might have killed someone if they didn't stop him. Maybe you did save someone's life and didn't even know it. Good job Bro!

TweetThanks for the support y'all. I hate driving and thats the big reason why,..I see this kind of thing EVERYTIME and its getting really old. Careless, impatient or impaired drivers everywhere ! Juggling a phone and a cup of coffee, watching tv, playing with unrestrained kids, too young (or) old and unexperienced, you name it. And these are the same a$$holes who we work for, make our laws, file complaints, teach our children and look down their noses at us. The thing is, people just dont give a damn about anybody else anymore !! Its gotta be "instant", "ready in seconds", "compact", or "drive through". People are just too lazy and self centered and its just the begining !! Our children should have a wounderful future to look foward to.

TweetGood call bro! Don't take chances when it comes to other people's lives. I had an ol' coot come into my lane and I barely dodged him and then he wiped out another car. He fell asleep drining in the middle of the day. Everyone was ok, but man, it could have been really bad had they hit head on. Luckily the guy behind me saw him and swerved and the old guy clipped the back half of the car. both cars were hammered but atleast everyone walked away.

It is very scary if you think about it. Sure since there has been cars there has been road rage and stupidity. But it seems like in the last 5 years it has multiplied 400%! Either people are really slow, and Inconsiderate or they are in an extreme rush, going 1,000 MPH, swerving in and out of traffic etc etc.

People forgot what it's like to be nice to others.
