Drive careful, Almost wasted the 914 tonight! Options

[championgt1]

I have finally, in the last week or so got my car back on the road. Well tonight my wife and I decide to take it on its first good drive in quite some time. We got about 3 miles from home after being gone for about 45 minutes and some jackass cuts me off and slams on the brakes at 45 miles an hour. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

If it was not for good brakes and an empty center turn lane I would have ate the assend of a SUV. Did a pretty good job of flatspotting the right front tire but other than that got away unscathed.

When we finally got around the guy we could tell he was fighting with his wife/girlfriend. Didn't even know we were there,or that he had almost caused a major accident.

Just remember to drive like you are invisible, BECAUSE YOU ARE!!!

Be careful everyone. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

I had an almost identical experience a few years back. I was out to dinner with the nieghbor couple and we were driving in my 4Runner. All of a sudden the ass-hat in the SUV in front of me slams on the brakes and comes to a complete stop. He then starts bitch-slapping his wife/GF right in the middle of a busy street. His big mistake was doing this in front of my passengers. One was an El Dorado County Sheriffs Homicide Detective, the other, his wife is a lawyer and in fact, an FBI agent. They were out of my truck in a heartbeat and Jeff had the guy out of the car and so tied up he is probably still trying to unwrap. His wife got the wife/gf out and over on the side of the road. In a few minutes the police were there to arrest the guy and his SUV was driven away by his wife/gf. As I recall, it was a holiday weekend Friday night and he wouldn't even be seeing the judge about bail until Tuesday. Hopefully he learned the meaning of the word sodomy over the weekend...
