    Dumb Driver Stunts

    In order of importance.....

    [1] Stopping/Reducing Speed
    One of the most dangerous things you can do on the road. Although it seems counter-intuitive,
    most of the time its better to speed up. If you're stopped in the road or traveling at a slow rate
    of speed, the person straight behind you cant tell. Good way to get both of you killed.

    If you're coming down the on-ramp trying to enter the highway into traffic...dont slow down.
    Its impressive on rare occasion to watch someone do this correctly, gun it down the ramp and
    over into traffic...there goes someone who actually knows how to drive.

    [2] Cutting Over Too Close Changing Lanes
    Ever been at cruising speed down the highway with your trailer behind you and have someone
    cut in front of you within inches of your front bumper? Even better, cutting across several lanes
    almost clipping your front bumper to get the exit they've nearly missed?

    WOW! I remember seeing these in driver Ed class in HS, how a car can become a weapon to kill yourself and/or others. I credit this film with convincing me driving is never a game or to be taken lightly.
    The two best things I learned in drivers Ed are 1. Watch out for the other guy 2. Expect the unexpected.

    Oh, I hate it when someone pulling one of those flatbed lawnmower trailers cuts in front of me, and I don't even know he's pulling a trailer until it's gone almost underneath my right-side tires. Those things are so dangerous when a lunatic is driving.

    I don't know why people think that you just have time to stop, or that you will see them. If someone wants to take a chance with thier own lives, that's their problem, but I hate when other people get hurt over stupidity.

    I see people actually fighting over who gets into which lane ahead of the other, even to the point of risky driving. One place the other person can have the road in front of me is when I'm driving. A bruised ego is one thing. A snuffed-out life is quite another.
