Coming home from work this morning, I’m in the right lane between Hwy 30 and 73. There are three cars in the left lane, I’m in the right lane. One of the cars is behind me, the other two were in front of me. It was like this when I got on the interstate at Hwy 30. We were all doing about 75mph.
Some jackass comes flying up in the left lane, swerved in behind me in the right lane and after a few seconds of riding my arse, started flashing his head lights. There was no one in front of me and he wanted around me to get back to his 100 mph speed.

I brake check him lightly. After a few minutes, a gap opens up in the left lane, he gets over, flys by me, honking his horn (probably flipping me off).

Funny thing is, after he passes me up, he catches another group of cars. By the time I reach my exit, Hwy 73, I’m nose to nose with him again.

And it was a Mustang again. I couldn’t tell what type of car it was until he passed me because he was running with only his lights in his grill on (like the lights on a GT-500 or Cobra). With only those lights on, it looked like some kind of midget car.

This never fails to happen. I just shake my head at idiots on the road.

It’s obvious to see why I-10 was closed twice today. You have to be more defensive than ever out there.

I’m in the right lane, I’m not going to do shite. I can’t help that there are three cars in the left lane doing the same speed as me.

Be careful when you see people flashing headlights, it’s gang initiation season

You probably have a 6-cylinder Mustang with a bunch of stickers on it.

Was it you that posted a similar story the other day? I had one similar to that a few weeks ago. Was my first experience with one of those retards...it was 430-5 pm traffic headed north on 49 in Carencro area. Just past the bulk of the congested area, but still a good bit of cars in both lanes. I believe I was behind 2 or 3 cars passing a semi and a car...dude comes flying up behind me getting real close...and I had to look a few times because he was so close I could only see the flashing lights occasionally over the top of my tailgate. My only thought was wow, these idiots do exist.

Drill a 5/8" hole in your floorboard. Stick an ATF funnel in it, securely. When this happens to you, throw a small handful of BB's into the funnel.

He was just slowing down to let the guy get around him.

You should peel off your bumper sticker that says, Flash Your Lights If You Hate The Crimson Tide

He probably had a child in need of medical attention or something and you in all of your assholishness likely cost that child it’s life

Drivers like the idiot in the Mustang deserve a good "attitude adjustment" and I don't mean the beverage variety. Morons like this who think they own the road are hazards to us all.

I wonder how many truckers do something similar to piss while on the road. I would. Ha
