re: Do you ever call in bad drivers?

Once, my wife and I were driving home from dinner on a 4-lane highway, and a guy in a Mustang was weaving badly, lane to lane, tire off the road, etc... I asked my wife to call it in.
This guy got off on our exit, but turned right where we would turn left normally. My wife is telling 911 where this guy is going.
This guy STOPS in the road, and hammers it into reverse, and I try to get out of the way, but he smashes into me, then takes off, spinning tires to do so.
I take off after him, and as he turns into a neighborhood, I pin him to the curb with my truck. Front end already smashed, who cares? I get out, much to my wife's dismay, and run around to the driver's door, open it and took the keys out of the ignition. I'm an idiot. All of this while my wife has 911 on the line. The police were there within minutes.
This guy was almost too drunk to even exist. He reeked of liquor, and was nearly incoherent.
He got a DUI and it turns out he was a Lt. Colonel at the military base in the town I'm not mentioning.
Not too long afterward, I was given a handwritten letter of apology from this guy. He could have killed people. He could have killed us.

I strongly disagree. I am very much in control of my car and safely operating it at 90+ mph on the interstate. I'd much rather come across someone doing 90 on the interstate than someone doing 45. Those people are the real danger.
And honestly, if all the retard drivers would just stay of the left lane except to pass like they should be doing, I wouldn't need to be dodging in and out of traffic so much. I can't help it people drive like idiots.

bullshite. 45 is the minimum allowed speed on most interstates. You are the danger.

No, I'm really not. But you have fun driving 45 with hands at 10 and 2.

Simply not safe but keep deluding yourself into believing it is.
What do you drive?

Are you honestly saying that if I'm driving on a wide open interstate at 90 mph that is inherently unsafe? Can you explain to me why? Is there some magic behind that number on the sign at somehow makes it safe and anything over it unsafe?
I'm honestly trying to understand - do all you people downvoting me just not speed at all, or just not 90? If you don't speed at all, I call bullshite. If you do and it's just a matter of degree, then frick your arbitrary number that you think demarks safe vs. unsafe driving. Wouldn't that be a subjective matter that would depend greatly on the driver, the vehicle and a plethora of other variables?

It could be unsafe to you but not others. I don't care about that. However, 90+ and weaving in and out of traffic is unsafe. Period.
Yes, I speed at times. However, I have a high performance vehicle and I do it in the flow of traffic and not driving at a speed that makes everyone else look like they're standing still.

That(non-existent)word has always amused me. You're faulting them for not wrecking with you?

It's the 90+ while weaving in and out of traffic that is dangerous not just driving 90 in the left lane
I'm sure you are able to anticipate 3-4 moves ahead of what every stranger driving around you is about to make though
