Default Dumb driver experiences....

What was your dumbest experience with another driver whether you witnessed it or were involved with it?

Just the other day I was at a red light. The light was changing to yellow for the other traffic and a mustang goes flying through the intersection. Next i hear some screeching and this guy with a mitsubishi eclipse had pulled up his emergency brake to stop before the red light. Well, he spun one and a half times and his jaw was wide open as he sat in the middle of the intersection. He then tried to get into gear and ground really bad... finally he drove off.

I have seen 3 accident in the last week. They were all for things where I could have maybe gone through a yellow, but didnt and the guy coming the other way in the same position as me did, and HE got hit.

Or a street light was out at 3am, and I decided it would be good if I stopped to check if anyone was coming. Person opposite me didnt and went through, T-Boned into another guy who didnt stop.

Weird shit.

Um mine beats all...

Woman didn't half clutch, ebrake or double foot on a very steep hill and smashed into my car. I tooted and flashed at her to pull over, she gunned it and left. I had to chase her for a few miles before she pulled over and her answer was "I'm not from here."

She was hot and milfy, plus my car didn't have damage so I let her go. Hindsight says I should have got her information and then called her for some :naughty: stuff.

Ricer in a CRX revved on me one night, and got pissed when I ignored his potato-shooter. Then the light turned green, he revved to the high heavens and then let it fall, I left the light at my normal pace, and he stalled all over himself into the middle of the intersection.

Back when we were kids I was involved in possibly the stupidest street race ever. My friend's shitty old CRX with a poorly mounted acura tape player and GM floormats vs. my automatic 4-cyl Sunbird convertible with a failing water pump. We took off from a light on flat level ground at about 6000ft, it took us probably a mile before we got to 50 mph, where we both shut down (partly because we were laughing too hard, partly because it was clear he wasn't going to catch me, and partly because our cars didn't have much more after 50mph)

i saw this lady in a new bmw 7-series stop at a red light, and for some reason i felt something was wrong, so i started slowing down some. then wouldnt you know it, she starts going, trying to make a left turn on a red. she gets the to middle of the intersection and slams on her brakes, with a bewildered look on her face. i hit the brakes and purposely stop about 6 inches off of her left front fender, laying on the horn. she shoves the thing in reverse and floors it almost hitting a car that was waiting at the light.

People with 7 series can't drive....my dad has one. He once got stuck in our driveway. It was snowing out and he had to back up because he got stuck(damn RWD)...but thats what happens when you completely stop on ice at a 30 degree angle. So he backs up using his mirror and goes right into a snowbank on the side of our driveway. We had to get my friends yukon and tow it out. Neither one of my parents can drive...thankfully my mom has a ford windstar so it doesn't matter when she bangs it up. You should see all the dents, almost all of them from hitting our garage.

Alright, here is a good one, but no expensive cars or actual crashing. It has happened on a few occasions before, at the same place. Cars involved: me in my stepfather's 93 Corrolla and a late model Explorer.

It is a 4 way intersection, with a main road (Rt610), a minor road, and a parking lot exit. well, 610 has a normal light cycle, first the left turns, then the normal green go-straight lights for both directions of traffic, but when the lights were green for the parking lot exit, they get a green light to go straight, and light for those across the way (like me) get a green for left turn, straight, and right turn.

Well, my light turns green, and for the people across the way, it is understood that left turns on green yeild to the other side's right turns on green. I took my right turn, and some middle-aged woman tried to turn into me at the same time, holding her horn the whole way. I dodged her a little, because it wasn't my car, but I had half a mind to let her hit me so my stepfather could get a shiney new car at the woman's expense.:naughty:

I would have had 20+ witnesses to say that she was the idiot at fault.

Damn "I AM GOD!" type woman SUV drivers.

I have two stories I haven't posted yet...

The first doesn't involve any accidents, or even driving...but one of those holier-than-thou SUV women though I had cut her off at a gas station nearby where gas is notoriously cheap. She had just finished gassing up, and my mom's minivan (with mom and grandmom in it) is in front of her...just beginning to fuel.
She starts SCREAMING out her window about how inconsiderate we are for not letting her get out before we got gas, and how we're "fahking faggots" and all this nasty verbal abuse. With the grandmother in the car, I had to try REALLY hard not to stick it to her. Then this guy behind her, also in an SUV, gets out, asks her what the problem is. Instead of then asking me MY version of the story, he accepts hers (the "Code of the SUV") as gospel, and gets dangerously close to me (5-6 feet away...near ass-kicking range) and starts shouting about "what nerve I have"... the lady chimes in, of course, with stuff like "I can't believe you!" and "I bet you cut people off all the time, don't you!" .... it was truly insane. All the other drivers (there a line by this point) were shaking their heads at the two SUV people, who were literally yelling at the top of their lungs about this sub-5 minute gassing up my family is doing. So finally, right when I was about ready to go, I really snapped and told the guy to get back in his car, or else...and told the lady I hoped I never saw her again, because... but then the legal side of me said "shup up, shut up now" and after waiting for the guy to get back in his Explorer (woman was in a Suburban), we took off... but not before the woman did a rice-boy flyby in her SUV, turning the opposite way out of the gas station. It was, by far, the craziest experience I've ever had with road rage and hostile SUV people.

Story two: I was going to my dad's house on rt 32 out here, through the middle of town. Rt 32 has no stop signs, and the automatic right of way. However, a road comes down off a hill and meets up with it - this road DOES have a stop sign.
I'm cruising through town at 10-15 mph, when I reach this intersection. There is an elderly woman in the oncoming lane in a Chevy Lumina stopped with her left blinker on, who wants to make a left turn onto the road that goes up the hill. Not having a stop sign myself, and seeing that she is making a left turn and supposed to yield/wait, I proceed through the intersection like I've done a 100000 times before.
But right when I'm in the middle, she stomps on the pedal, like she's trying to beat me, and crushes the front end of my beautiful red G2 Integra GS-R. Not only does she not stop when she hits me, she panics and keeps her foot on the gas, so she drives me into a curb, and screws up the frame, everything. The car was completely totalled. There was a lady behind her who acted as my witness, and she said that the old lady almost did it just a moment before I got to the intersection to some other guy. Interestingly, neither airbag went off...
