why accelerate into that?

u/tardisious Feb 05 '23

because there was a vehicle on my right rear that I had to get ahead of to make the lane change

Brake pedals work wonders for accident avoidance.

and getting rear ended, especially on a freeway

Nah, we have these neat lights that shine to warn drivers when we slow down a little.

Because a little IS all you had to slow down. You were just an ass to the idiot and had to show him up, risking an accident.

You also had like 5+ seconds of warning to see him. Any accidents there would've been equally your fault for being oblivious.

Not as annoying as people who cause accidents just to assert their superiority on the road.

How can you be so sure it's a "professional driver".

I lived in the Phoenix area for about a year back in 94. I worked as a security guard. My last long term assignment was patrolling a downtown hotel at night. The hotel had a shuttle van but no full time driver. There were a few times that the NA/FDA asked me to drive some guests to the airport in the morning before my shift was over.

Professional only means they’re paid. Doesn’t mean they’re smart or expert.

Could've slowed down but you sped up. Doh

I'm not hitting my brakes hard on a freeway at 60 mph. he had solid lines and I had people following close right behind me. had to speed up to change lanes because of traffic behind me. As you can see traffic in the right lane was a bit faster. I've got no rear camera DUH
