Oh, hey.
How many of you know that feeling? Like where your on the cusp of getting into a crash, not an accident, and you barely maneuver your way out of it. Terrifying.

I swear old people should drive anymore. Anyway let me explain. I'm taking my friend home after a basketball game at my Highschool. We won so we were hyped and were driving a little fast (like 10 over speed limit, which isn't terrible). But, I slowed down and went the speed limit when the road got more crowded. There was an older woman in front of me who switched lanes, leaving me as the only person in my lane. So I started speeding up a little because I had room. And this woman begins to switch back to the lane when I get right next to her. So I have to bank right teasing it between the asphalt and the sidewalk/grass. There were guard rails sticking out at one point because it forces you to merge. She didn't stop, nor did she slow down. So I had to slam on my breaks, bank right, and then a sharp left to dodge her, and then the guard rails. Eventually I got behind her, still slamming on the breaks, and just brought it to a dead halt. Drove a litte, got to the side of the road, and took a breather.

I could still see here randomly switching lanes, with no indicators. Basically saying fuck it. That's ridiculous. Old people shouldn't be allowed to drive, they are endangering themselves and everyone else.

Yeah, because your one shitty experience with an elderly driver is sound basis for removing all old people's licenses.

This is one of probably 10. And I've witnessed countless accidents caused by elderly people.

Man, every time I've been robbed it's been by a black person. We should just throw them all in jail, they're endangering themselves and everyone else.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
Of course I know this feeling... I drive on I-78 monthly. God damn truckers, man.

The adrenaline rush I felt going backwards down that off-ramp one winter was fucking intense too.

And that one time I took a corner a little too quick on a backroad and swung the tail off the pavement but made a recovery before the embankment

And the two soccer moms who tried to kill me in one ride on  my old Shadow (rip in peaces scrap bike)

Man... good times.

Active Aero saved my ass today. It hurt like a bitch to slam and activate the wing, but holy shit was it effective.

fuck, I live that feeling every corner that I have to cut on... in pedestrian cases though, I've only ever felt that on my motorcycle, when I was forced to offroad for a good minute when some stubborn cunt tried merging onto my lane without looking first. She didn't move her ass back to her own fucking lane until I punched her window and smashed up her side mirror before the merge off rails came too close (I have reinforced gloves for attempted bike jackings,) and when she did she had the stupidest fucking look on her face, like she had no clue why I was hitting her car.

I hate people sometimes.
