i know its frustrating to drive in traffic, but i think this thread is pointless. what do you really expect to gain from making it into a post, the kid to come clean about it?

People will drive like that regardless of what vehical they own...its the person not the car, its just cheaper to buy a econo box and then put crappy cheap stuff on it....
And no need to take this the wrong way but you have a kid, you 30 some odd yrs old...and look at the example your setting here? Also do you own a jbody? you own all fords? what is the deal witht that?
I can so totally relate.

The point of the post was to vent about the incident obviously. JimmyZ isn't so delusional to think that someone immature enough to act in such a manner would actually own up to that mistake. He's hoping for a little bit of empathy, and he's hoping to express his feelings about people's driving. Atleast, I thought that was obvious. If you think the thread is pointless don't post in it, that's a concept for you to wrap your noodle around.

You don't get it. You're right, there are people of all walks of life that drive like they are the only one on the road that needs to get somewhere, but that's not the point of the rant. JimmyZ wrote the post about ignorant self-important drivers who ignore the safety of those around them for their own benefit, whether that's making that meeting they should have left earlier for or just feeling like Vin Diesel. Guess what, kids with cheap cars are notorious for that type of behaviour, and he's fairly well justified in makeing those comments. What behavior of JimmyZ's is it exactly that you think isn't a good example? He's pissed, understandably too, on LA highways less would have gotten that Cavalier driver shot. What did you think a model citizen would have done? Went about his merry way? Lastly, who cares what he drives? Does that change the severity or idiocy of the driver of the Cavalier? Does it fundamentally impact the message, meaning or interpritation of the rant?
Me thinks they protest too much.
I had a similar incident last night, kind of on the other side, coming back from Lancaster to York on 30, its a 2 lane on either side highway, For about 5 miles (at 70mph) I was behind this SUV that thought they were running pace laps because they stayed directly at the same speed as the car next to them, the passing lane , is for passing, and if your not passing you should get the @!#$ out of the way.
So when someone does this, I give them about 5 feet, and my headlights are already obnoxiously bright to start with, so after riding them for about another 3 miles we eventually cleared the car in the slow lane, after another mile they CONTINUED to ride in the left lane, at this point I was boiling, dropped it into 4th and whizzed by. Keep in mind there were NO cars ahead so there was no reason to continue riding in that lane. Then as soon as I did this they speed up and put on thier high beams behind me, wonder they could find the gas pedal. Now at this time I was doing 85 and they were keeping right with me, explain why they went fast then but wouldnt pass the car beside them for 5 miles.
Nothing annoys me more than ppl that hold up traffic, either pass or get out of the way, thats what the lane is for, not for waving at the car next to you for 5 miles and if you do, your going to get a mirrorfull of me

Maybe they didn't speed up since they were already going 15 over the limit on a road littered with cops
jimmy z honestly get a damn life! if you want to post something like this then post it in off topic it does not belong in the forum so move it please!
and i agree with matt, if someone is not moving and in the fast lane then there getting my highbeams in there rearview mirror and im gonna push there ass till i can pass them of they get the hell out of the way!
and also jimmy instead of getting on here and bitching about it why didnt you just call the cops DUH! dumbass!

brake check. not like slam on them but slowly apply pressure till your going the speed limit on the beltway that'll really tick them off and and hopefully make them do something stupid and wreck.
get the plate call the cops, they love to pull over wreckless drivers

brake checks arent effective on a car with wilwoods

Sounds like a normal day in Toronto
If you want to get creative with your brake checks....I can get my friend to wire up a switch to your brake lights, so they'll switch on whenever you want, but your brakes wont be applied.
Oh well, I have my popcorn ready to go if this guy actually is on this website and decides to post a response.

Only 70mph? Wasn't during rush hour then.
I have driven the belt loop at 85 with traffic. My gf parents lives in balt, well in brooklandville, but we are always in his audi or beamer, so we fit right in with those leadfoot'ers.

SIG coming to an org near you!!!
I get tailgated frequently on my commutes to work in the morning and in the evening heading home. You learn to control your frustration and just brush it off.
Just last week, there was some guy driving along in his VW stationwagon tailgating a fellow driver in the right lane. As I am passing by on the left hand side, he flicks on his turn signal and tried to get over. I am already half way passed him so I proceed to accelerate so he can get behind him.
He goes into some sort of angry rage and then gets behind me and tailgates me for a little bit. I notice this and decide to stay side by side with the car in the right lane. After a little bit of that I went ahead a bit so the station wagon can get over. He decided to stay next to me and flip me off and yell smack at me.
I looked at him and pretended to wipe a tear from my eye. That gets them everytime.
In the end, he still got stuck in traffic and I was about two vehicles behind him until I had to get off my exit.
Have a good one,
Justin
