Red face Almost got sandwiched today!!!!!

So I was on my way home from school, and there is this asshole with this red old beat up Toyo pick-up truck, he slowed down, stopped and go frequently, so I moved to the left lane to pass him.

But, this son of a bitch swerved to my lane the moment I was about to pass him. I almost collided with the other cars on the left side, and him on the right side. I slammed on my brakes really hard, and all my books and binders got thrown on the floor. I was like 2 inches away from the other cars, and it felt like the end of my car... Thank God I was able to avoided it, and not a single scratch on my baby. And I bet that fool wouldn't have insurance either...

I almost couldn't make it to your place tomorrow, Lammy!

Well, I guess from now on I'll have to drive with my high beams on all the time, people pay more attention when I use my high beams.

Yes, but you also blind others. My sensitive eyes hate high beams. Then again, I drive better than that, and always check my blind spots.

Yeah, I noticed that he didn't check his blind spots... Or maybe he's trying to get hit, cause he keeps looking at me through is rear view mirror...

Just make sure it's written up as his fault! Him hitting you looks better for insurance!


Staying safe and not hit is always the better option though.


Wait... he "keeps looking"? I'm hoping you aren't saying you are online and driving at the same time!

Bad grammar...

Yeah, I gotta keep a safe distance from cars around me.

Hey, if it's a cute girl, then I'll have no problems with her staring at me...

Good call. Try to stay away from "traveling in a pack".

Remember the five keys of Smith..
1. Aim high in steering.
2. Get the big picture.
3. Keep your eyes moving.
4. Leave yourself an out.
5. Make sure the other driver sees you.

Also, EXPECT others to make the dumbest/illogical moves at all times. You will be surprised what people do.... especially here in Cali. Glad to hear that you are safe.

Must have been baiting you for insurance fraud. He would have come up with at least 2 "independent" witnesses alleging that you caused the accident.

Oh, is this big enough?
