honestly I'd have gone to the left as well.
if he went to the right, he might have lost a tire or two on the shoulder, or worse, gone off the road with his passenger side, then overcompensated and ome across all 6 lanes out of ontrol as a result.
trust me it sounds wrong, but that's exatly what happens most times people run off a road and try to orrect. You see it happen all the time at a track in SCCA and autoX. He was safer to cut you off or even rub you, in the end.. even though it isn't an ideal outome, it's a better controlled situation for an instinctive reaction.

now as for flipping you off.. at that point I'd just PIT the c**ksucker.

Exactly.

It is an absolute shame that people can go out and buy a lexus, but do not have sense enough to drive it. The answer is obvious. I started thinking, and maybe that person is just to dumb to know what he did! :happy055:

My other vehicle is a truck, and I am the same way. Even in a car, you have to consider the outcome, at 70mph's you do not have much time to react, but I have been in this situation, and the only thing I think is avoid everyone else. We were on a freeway, had he hit me we could have backed up traffic severely, and possibly had a pileup. This guy was an idoit, seriously, a dent, maybe a ripped out air dam, instead a possible pileup, possibly taking mine or his life. Seriously, where is the common sense.

Alot of ppl in low cars get worried that if they run somethign over that they will tear their oil pan or their exhaust out... Some women... and men even, believe that they will tear up the Transmission... Even though there is a Trany mount protecting that and on some vehicles a transmission skid plate lol... Well yea I hit everythign with my truck i dont care i would rather keep it in one piece... I even took off the Front air dam in the front for more front clearance... I remmeber one winter a small tree fell across the road and ppl were taking a detour so i told the cop that i was just going to go over it, and i only have 1 wheel drive, (rear diff) Went right over it and didnt have to take the detour. No problem... sorry i went off on a tangent there lol

i think this is why people in cars hate guys like us so much. we get our big trucks and SUV's and rule the planet. lol and to them i say "MOVE DAMNIT"

That is much better than trying to take me out to avoid it!

Yeah, it looked like a retread.

so many accidents happen because people over react to a problem. IE: a dog runs out in front of your car and you swerve without looking and cause a huge reck. lets chose? the dogs life or mine. guess which one i chose?? dead doggy!

same goes for the tire. do I swerve and risk hitting someone because I dont have time to look?? or do i take the hit and risk maybe a scratch on the car. sometimes people need to take more time to weigh the outcome of two choices. thats why i think things like this should be on road test and even have driving courses with this kind of hazard so that we can keep dumb asses of the road. things happen FAST when driving even at 30 miles an hour. so i say if yoru mind cant process the info fast enough then you should not be driving.
