OT: Just expereinced my most crazy road rage expereince Options

[grantsfo]

I was on my usual commute home over the Santa Cruz Mountains. Traffic was moving along at good clip 70 MPH in a 65 MPH zone. Up races a Volvo XC70 on the right side and cuts in front of me. Then a Honda Prelude does the same thing. Prelude proceeds to run up the tail pipe of the Volvo. Then brilliant Volvo driver slams on the brakes. Prelude narrowly avoids rear ending the Volvo. I'm freaking out with traffic moving at 70 MPH behind me. I just slowed down and gave these nuts room.

THEN the Prelude driver goes left into the median throwing up dust, crap etc at 70 MPH next to the Volvo and then goes for the NASCAR hip check into his lane. He did this with cars all around him all following too close. Holy #%^#%^! Volvo swerves into slow lane and forces andother car into right hand median. Miracously no one loses control or makes contact.

I think the Prelude driver realized he had gone over the edge so then he slams on brakes and dives off an off ramp right in front of me agian.

Randal, Youre right Nor Cal drivers are absolutely freaking nuts!

Grant,

You should frame this a little more graphically to the uninformed.. he's talking about Hiway 17 which is 2 lanes going and coming.. all twisties.. lots of camber changes with each curve. 1940's lane widths (narrow).. the "forest" or cliffs are right at the edge of the road median.. It's basically like you are a log running down a water sluice hurtling toward a sawmill!

It's "touchy" even with people driving responsibly.. talk about "Hair trigger" accidents waiting to happen.
