Idiot driver makes his Company look bad
 
So had an interesting experience in traffic today on 466 continuing onto s/b 27. This male white idiot driver was tailgating this car on 466. Anytime he got more than Few feet off the bumper of this car he sped up and got way too close to it.
Then as I passed him he gave me the stink eye like I did something. We both end up turning s/b on 27 with him tailgating me now. Then as I make a left turn, he had to swerve to the right because he was soo close to me now and then he proceeded to Flip me off like I was wrong for wanting to turn. Not a good look or this business ~ Morgan’s Whole 9 yards. I would definitely NOT hire this company based on this guys action and behavior

So? You know that we want to know. Lots of companies want to know about employees driving. They would rather find out here than through a law suit.

The fact that he was "white" added so much more to the interesting experience you had.

And a "HE". Idiots come in all colors, sexs, sizes and ages.

I had an interesting experience many years ago up north driving to work on ice-covered roads. The maximum speed I could travel without losing control was 30 MPH. A guy pulled in back of me from a side street and decided to tailgate me. There was no way to go faster without losing control, so I lightly tapped my brake to flash my taillights. He must have discovered that there was no traction on the road because a minute later, I could see his headlights pointed at a crazy angle way in the back of me.

Just imagine the totally different responses that post would get if he stated "black":1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

If they had mentioned age it would have been a trifecta.

True, but stereotypes exist for a reason.

I had a very similar experience when I was sixteen. Ice covered roads out in the middle of nowhere, 5:30 am so still pitch black, I'm in an old 2 wheel drive pickup with worn out tires. Aggressive driver catches me from behind and gets so close I can't see much of his vehicle over the tailgate. I tap my brakes just enough to light the brake lights. In my rear view mirror all I can see is headlights, darkness, headlights, darkness as he spins 360s then off into the ditch. I didn't go back to help.

I had an interesting event. Traveling home on a residential portion of a highway and approached a vehicle waiting to make a left turn. The intersection had a right turn lane but I noticed a police car off to right, so I did the right thing and stopped and waited. A truck came racing up behind me and was going to use the right turn lane to pass us when the car in front of me turned so I proceeded. The truck was going too fast and ran out of space and ended up in the ditch ahead of us, with the police there right away...

Proud of yourself????

Any idea if the victim was alive or dead? Brain dead? (no pun intended). Transferred to a level 1 trauma center? Did he have a family? Will the rest of us be supporting him for life on SSDI?

Good job, not.

So you performed an unnecessary action intending to startle and disrupt the driver behind you. That action was effective and caused a crash and may have caused injuries (you don't know, you didn't go back to help). You are proud enough of that behavior that you are on here bragging about it. Interesting.

Why mention "white" sounds racist to me.
