I was on the interstate and was signaling to get into the left lane to pass and was almost sideswiped by an SUV doing no less than 100 mph. Had I not seen the vehicle coming into the lane I was turning into the last split second there would have been a major accident.

The driver ends up tailgating a police officer and I guess they didn't realize it until they were right up on the vehicle. I guess the cop was off and didn't want to deal with it.

Somehow, I find myself in front of the SUV and they get off at the same exit I do. Of course there is traffic, so the driver gets in the middle turning lane and floors it for about a quarter mile through the red light.

Just as I was about to ask myself where the hell the police are at times like this, an undercover police SUV turns his lights and siren on and chases the other SUV. After getting through the light I noticed the undercover police had the driver pulled over in an apartment complex parking lot.

This doesn't happen a lot so I thought I'd share it here. Score 1 for the good guys

And if you drive like a dick,

There is a subreddit full of videos of the cops pulling over dickheads and it's one of my favorite internet activities.

Arghhhh you are one of those slow right lane drivers that cant look in the side mirror, but puts on the signal expecting all in the left lane to brake for your slower arse to catch up. Then it's not your fault, but it would be 100% your fault if you got into this accident. Yes he shouldnt be going that fast, but he is and people shouldnt expect them to stop on a dime "cause i'll teach him".

Nope, you're completely wrong. The SUV was coming into the lane at the exact same time I was and I was driving fast enough to pass. The dipshit driver of the SUV wasn't signaling at all, they were just flying down the interstate with reckless abandon, so fast that I didn't see them until the last split second.

Drivers expect other drivers to be traveling around a certain speed. When someone is traveling well in excess of that expected speed a driver can miscalculate the distance between the two vehicles and make a move that is dangerous but would be OK were the speeder been driving at the legal limit.

You sound dumb.

I ended up shitting myself right in front of the cop, you a-hole. I hope the next time that you are in the same situation as I was in that you just explode diarrhea all over your vehicle

Tuesday night I was about to enter a crosswalk (I had the signal to walk) when a vehicle blew through the red light where I was about to cross. A cop was just chilling parked in the shared right/parking lane. We shared a look and he went after em and pulled em over 1 block down. Was mildly entertaining
