I'M PISSED!!! I wrecked my accord!

[aerokid1987]

So last night I'm driving at about 10 oclock behind this slow taurus on a familiar 55 mph road. I knew that their was a passing zone ahead so I planned to pass. Anyway I start to pass and the jackass decided he didn't want me to pass, so he floored his taurus so I couldn't get past him. I was still accelerating, about 75 when a car comes over the hill in front of me. I had to slam on the brakes to get behind the idiot in the taurus and the brakes locked up and I slid of the side of the road up over a berm that ripped half of my bumper off and dented the left front fender when I slid into a speed limit sign. I was seriously mad!
So now I need both front fenders replaced and a whole new bumper. It could have been alot worse but I'm still really mad.

[smufguy]

[Deadhead]

owned... but i do hate it when people decide to not let you pass them... been there done that.

[aerokid1987]

so u were trying to pass someone in a passing zone on an uphill?

No, it was very flat just at the end of the passing zone the road sloped down. The car coming towards me came up over the "hill" in front of me. It wasn't a really close call, but I had to hit the brakes pretty hard cuz I was going so fast.

dont be a dick, what he did was perfectly legel. the Cunthead in the Redneck ford is the one that fucked up, the law CLEARLY STATES "If vehicle is attempting to pass you are to slow down and Give them the right away"

PLEASE KINDLY TELL ME WHAT I DID THAT WAS STUPID???????

[Strahan]

Sorry, I put it on ebay cuz I had too many people interested in it so I figured ebay is the fair way to get rid of it. You're welcome to bid, if you win I'll even deliver it cheap if you need it since you're close

[2drSE-i]

you tried to pass him up a hill (no matter how slight of a hill, you still cudnt see the guy), he sped up so you shouldve just got back behind him. you risked your life, car, and the life of oncoming traffic. its a good thing you didnt kill yourself or anyone else.

im with u bro.

True, except for the "perfectly legel" part. I don't believe the law says that the driver of the overtaking vehicle is entitled to exceed the speed limit under any circumstances or try to race the person you are attempting to pass. In fact, both drivers have exhibited behavior that falls under the state definition of racing.

The law is written to require everyone, regardless of situation, to maintain a speed at or below the maximum allowed on the particular type of road being traversed. If the legal speed limit of the road is 55mph, and you are approaching a car that is traveling at 55mph, then naturally the act of overtaking that vehicle would require a speed higher than the legal limit, making the overtaking maneuver itself illegal. If the Taurus was travelling at 45mph, then an overtaking maneuver would be legal, provided that you stayed at or under 55mph and followed all of the other applicable laws regarding passing on the left. If you cannot pass a vehicle and stay at or below the speed limit, then it's not legal to speed up to pass the vehicle. We all do it, but that doesn't make it right.

Under no circumstance are you allowed to exceed the posted maximum speed limit or attempt to outgain or outdistance another vehicle.

[2drSE-i]

ahem


anyway....lol didnt mean to be an ass but you gotta admit, you couldve easily slown down and gotten back behind the taurus without harming or endangering anyone. he probably got a good laugh out of watching you mess up ur car.

[mkymonkey]

i was about to say the same thing. you know you have a slow car so why even try to pass the guy? it was just a male thing i know but risk getting your car messup up over a simple passing of a taurus? come on. it would have been easier to just let him pass then wait for him to get off the fwy or make a turn and just go on your merry way. oh well

another one bites the dust i guess

[my86dx4dr]

I still believe he got fucked over. The asshat in the toreass was initialy braking the law. By speeding up. And as he stated it wasnt on a hill but there was one comming up, COME ON PEOPLE! its all about the lines. If he was passing in a passing zone (a NON solid yellow line, aka dotted) and you can clearly see if he was trying to pass in a passing zone the driver of the toreass Sped up and his passing zone was quickly ending. so in the process he slammed his brakes and got fucked. he wouldnt of had to speed up if the toreass wouldnt of broken the law.


Being Passed
When another driver tries to pass you, there are many chances for a
collision. The driver may cut in too sharply, you may change lanes, or
the driver may be forced back into your lane if he/she has misjudged the
distance of oncoming traffic.
You can help the other driver pass you safely by checking oncoming
traffic and adjusting your speed to let the driver move back in the right
lane as soon as possible. When another driver starts to pass, stay to the
right and do not speed up until the other driver has passed. Do not use
your hands or lights to signal other drivers when to pass. The law
prohibits flashing any of your lights at drivers to let them know when to pass.
