Road rage kills two in Porsche Options

[Maltese Falcon]

So sorry for the loss of your friends @Eric_Shea , this is a heart wrenching story to watch (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
I'm constantly dodging poor drivers in L.A. traffic, especially the ones that are driving on the edge of your nerves; always giving up my right-of-way...just to let them get on with their distance away from me and my (what little) safe traveling space I can find.
Latest BS move on the streets is; the car in the left turn pocket jets accross the intersection when the light turns green/ never intended to turn left.
Extremely dangerous to intersection traffic, and if he can't move into traffic flow > just keeps hammering with higher speed up the middle of the street (no lane) until he can get to the next intersection. Rinse & Repeat (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Saw that maneuver here for the first time a few days ago, but with a twist.
Waiting at a red light, two lanes going straight, one turning left.
Guy comes flying up from behind, gets in the left turning lane, passes everyone waiting on the red light, then turns *right* across two lanes and makes a right turn.
All at speed without ever stopping.

Let’em go. Let’em be assholes. They have to live with that. We get to live with that…

What TF is wrong with people? The names weren't being released because all of the family members hadn't been notified.

Rodney was a friend to all here in Salt Lake City. He was one of James' best friends. The car was an 87 Carrera that he was excited to finally get from local PCA friends. He auto-crossed with Diane when she first joined the club. He was the first one to welcome her in. He helped our community by scanning 914-6/GT flares and rocker panels for us (close enough to home yet?). He helped because he was that kind of person. He didn't deserve this. Nobody does.

Road Rage - We've all been guilty of some strong feelings behind the wheel. I doubt we've ever thought about the consequences of an innocent bystander. What Rodney has taught a lot of us is... "just back-off and back-out of it."

Sorry E,
I watched this video on YouTube and knew right away they’d have to be friends of you and D. I just spent last weekend with my son at WCR. I told him every time he growled about another driver to just laugh. Rodney sounds like our kind of guy. If I can help, let me know…

@ericshea please pass our condolences to the family.

[iankarr]

@eric_shea please let us know if there's a way we can make donations to charities or if the family has a gofundme set up. This is so sad.

[Maltese Falcon]

Road ragers feel empowered in their "Impenetrable" chariots, high speeds on public roads mean nothing, nor the innocent people they may entangle.
Give them their right of way and don't get tangled up with them.
Sunset Blvd 2am Tesla; in front of Pink Taco 35 zone, flat un-cambered street >crash + lithium battery inferno. Excess speed and hit the palm (crown sheared off) 3 critical, 1 RIP. Heros* rushed in and rescued 2, couldn't get front passenger out, driver fled and was found at local E/R. * Staff of Pink Taco (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

[Maltese Falcon]

Just several nights ago, another early AM Sunset Blvd racer boy in a Lambo...opposite side of street from Pink Taco, looped it and smacked into the news-stand. These folks walked away only shaken up. Steer clear from these people, they have more money than brains, and are hazardous to our health.

Road rage is too real and too common. This type of event is disgusting no matter where it happens. It is even more painful when it happens to someone in our community.

I once had an idiot in a pick up truck race ahead and cut me off with his truck at 90 degrees to the road. He jumped out, came up to my window screaming at me. I think my sin was that my tires chirped on a damp road at the previous light? I had made no eye contact with the idiot when I had pulled up next to him at the stop light. Up until then I was always behind him. I did absolutely nothing to antagonize the guy. Didn't pass him, literally nothing. I was in a state of disbelief and shock while the moron was jumping up and down wanting to have a fight. All I did was apologize to him for upsetting him and that there was no intent to anger him. To this day I truly don't know what I apologized for. Maybe he was high on something.

Thankfully my apologizing defused the situation and he drove off. Giving the idiot the road worked. I sometimes wonder if I had reached for my phone to call 911 what would have happened - might have set the guy off completely.
The event so shook me that I now have dash cams and pepper spray in every vehicle I have.

@eric_shea
If there is something set up to let us express our concern and condolences with a donation I would be more than happy to help out.

This is such a sad tragedy.

I can assure you, after having been responsible for investigating these tragic accidents for more than 5 years, there is no conspiracy by the police to protect the names of victims or perpetrators.

First thing is that victims relatives need to be properly notified, after all would anyone want to hear of their loved ones death via the news? Then you also have to do a proper investigation and build a case against the perpetrator, once charges are officially entered it then generally becomes a matter of public record. To prematurely release this type of information can cause all kinds of legal issues.

Allow time for these things to be sorted out and all of the information will eventually be released.

My condolences to those who lost their lives to such careless and irresponsible actions.

I just hope that state law in Utah allows for some type of homicide charges and the person responsible pays a long debt for what he has done

It was not intended as harassment and I apologize.

The use of "protected class" projected an unintended image of political/racial commentary.

Again, I apologize. I mis-interpreted it.

Shit Head Rage Driver has been Identified...

Shit Head Rage Driver has been Identified...

Yup, he has about 6 Speed violations going back to 2010. One of them, he was clocked at 107mph which the officer reduced to 102mph because he was contrite on scene. That 5mph made a huge difference in the charge. He paid a $400+ fine.

See Eric’s gofundme.
