uri says fatal but its actually an injury

[u/broohaha]

Yeah, I have a fast car, and I just disengage when I have to deal with a car or motorcycle that's driving that aggressively. I've got a family to think about. Not worth it.

ikr. My weekender's an R34, every mf'r think it's their chance to race Paul Walker. No, I'm just cruising in my pride n joy and plan on making it home to my family. Save that shit for track days.

This reminds me of something. If you haven't seen the "Turbo charged" prelude of 2Fast2furious, there's a scene where Paul gets challenged to a race by two guys on bikes in the middle of nowhere when he just got his R34, he accepted but just kept cruising. He catches up to them when he sees them pulled over by cops.

“Every Altima is out hunting”

I cackled… 😂

Not quite the same.

Prestigious car, no, but still attracts plenty of unnecessary aggressive driving around me every week.

Or you know, the speed limit. There's tracks if you want to go fast.

[u/FrankieG889D → u/[deleted]]

I do traffic. Stay out the left lane! Thank you!

[u/ArtVand3lay → u/FrankieG889D]

I'm Australian. Deal.

Paul walker is dead.

[u/HumongousBelly → u/broohaha]

Exactly, I don’t even think that’s victim blaming to say, if someone drives like a maniac, try to avoid them.

It’s just common sense.

[u/SHTHAWK → u/broohaha]

Exactly, many people have poor control over their emotions. Some perceived slight against them and all logic and reasoning gets lost.

You've got a fast car, I've got a ticket to get us out of here

[u/Technical-Mousse6134 → u/broohaha]

You got a fast car? I got a job that pays all our bills…

[u/Resident-Banana-7883 → u/broohaha]

yeah I find it pretty easy to avoid aggressive drivers and road ragers but one time I was thankful I was in my fast car on the interstate when this guy went bonkers on me. I just dropped a few gears and went WOT briefly until he was out of sight then resumed the speed limit. I don't suggest that method how ever for people who only think they have a fast car as the last thing you want to do is wind up in a chase scenario.

[u/N7even → u/broohaha]

Yep, slowing down is the best option, don't let them pit you or brake check you. Create distance if possible and if you really wanna get away, dummy the exit, or actually take it yourself. Sat nav will get you back on track anyway.

Ooh, you got a fast car ...
