Very Close Call (Idiot Cager)

[den1953]

Bad here too.

In the small city where I live there are lots of people running red lights and stop signs. Close to half here do not use turn signals and half of those don't know what they mean when you use them. Lots of talking on cell phones and a few are texting too. Speed limits are apparently optional with many going 10 to 15 mph over any given limit sometimes more than that. I have often had to do 50 mph in a 35 zone just to avoid being run over. It gets crazier in bigger cities but it's already bad enough right here.

You assume he saw it, I bet he was busy ordering from papa johns.

That was a close call. I'm glad it turned out OK. I would have immediately followed the offending driver and read him/her the riot act!

:shocked: It's actually better to not confront them...
Just get their plate number, and a description of the vehicle, and call it in to the local Police. nojoke

If they're stupid enough to almost kill you at an intersection: who can say what other dumb-assery they're capable of? :dontknow:

Thought about that and almost did, but the wife was shaken up on the RT and I really couldn't leave her. She would have tried to follow me. We run 'em down around my town. Every once in a while I will be by myself and find something not right; impaired driver, reckless driving, etc. The PD here in town knows me well. The 911 center is 2 blocks away and several are automotive customers.
This little punk (about 18) looked right at us, laughed and turned to his buddy and they both laughed. Never hit brake one at all.

Be careful...very, careful

I'm not one that lives in fear, far from it, but, some would just as soon give you lead poisoning today as to look at ya. Times like that, like it or not are best caught on Go Pro and produced as evidence to the authorities. Without it and because they did not witness it, even their hands are tied. Our system....SUCKS!

In Alaska, most carry guns and are not afraid to use them. We have at least one incident per day. I will defer to the idiots and not confront them. :yes:
