>I slam brakes, but can't stop right away,
>lay on horn, brakes screeching and I can hear all the pallets in the back of my truck falling over
>stupid bitch flipped me the bird out the window after I slid to a halt about a foot from her back bumper

Cunt had the audacity to phone my company and complain and my dispatcher called her a stupid whore.

I spent 45 minutes rearranging the back of my truck because of some dumb cunt

Fucking women drivers

Don't lie user, you wanted those donuts to fall over so you could take them home

>People are strange

> Everyone accelerates again

Not really all that weird but once I was driving on I70 in an area that I drive pretty regularly. Typically traffic is fairly light, you might have a few hundred feet between vehicles or sometimes it's much heavier. I created a hill and was driving down into a valley with about 6 or 7 miles to the crest of the next hill. About the time I reached the lowest point I realized that there wasn't another car in sight.. anywhere. It was just sort of eerie, like an apocalyptic feeling. Like the happening had begun. Didn't see another vehicle until I got over the next hill and almost let out a sigh of relief.

>driving on low populated road in the hills
>1.5-lane narrow 80kph zone
>see cyclist
>brake to 40kph while keeping right
>he flips me off

I was stopped at a red light for a left turn one day, behind some cars, in the middle of the road. All of a sudden, a guy who looks like pic related appears at my driver's side window, which is wide open.

He's holding something up at the bottom of the window. I look down to see if it's a gun or knife or something, but they are white cables from earphones.

He asks me, "Got a problem?" I look forward and think about my life up to then, which had been just fine even though I had lots to complain about, and I tell him "No, I guess not."

Then he turns around and walks across the street, back to the sidewalk, the light turns green, and I drive away.

What the fuck?

>When you're a stranger
Faces look ugly

It was a shipment of shingles, nail boards and brake pads

And yes, I checked if the pads would fit my truck... No dice

Nothing really spooky, 2 short stories though.

>riding around with buddy
>old claypit road.jpg
>one lane, something between gravel and asphalt
>come to claypit
>cop car in road stopped
>no lights
>pull up beside and stop
>maybe he needs help, have nothing against cops
>cop looks at us
>second cop raises had up and stares at us
>decide at that instant the don't need our help
>we leave slowly while cops maintain eye contact

To his day I'm not quite sure what we witnessed. Bj maybe? Whatever.

>living in Utah 2009
>car on fire on overpass in orem
>cruising with my buddy jason
>about to cruise past it
>"wouldn't it be cool of it blew up right as we pas"BOOM
>car blows up right as we are beside it
>hm, don't see that every day

>driving my E92 M3 DCT
>rip away from a stoplight
>sound of my 4.0 V8 fills the streets
>no one took a picture or asked me how I can afford it

People used to like cars, not anymore I guess.

well, its an M3. it's not like its a car with massive wheel arches, a big wing or mid engine or something. I mean at the end of the day... its a 3 series. But remember people who do care about cars will see you user. i see you.

oh, and i know exactly what you mean, E39 M5 here

National guard members trying to commit suicide. Probably the dumbest thing I've witnessed.
>Out trail riding in the fire lanes
>Hitting on the turns kicking it sideways for fun
>Coming up on a bad corner as it's a blind corner
>Normally I wouldn't slow down as it's wide enough for 3 vehicles
>I don't know why but I didn't kick it sideways or anything this time
>National Guard has all there gear and everything laid out on the trail
>On a hairpin turn they're doing an inventory check or something
>Pile on the brakes and stop sub 5' from their rucksacks
>They all start yelling at me and calling me names
>Mate behind me just drives through the brush and throws sand everywhere
>Hammer down and threw sand everywhere following my mate
>Probably royally pissed off those morons

Speaking on which, I can't believe the type of people that are accepted into the military. Honest to god retards I knew from HS are in the NG.

People that do dumb shit in the road then act like it's your fault piss me off.

>be driving on one lane in each direction road
>it's rush hour
>I'm heading to local dealer to tyre kick
>Punto infront comes to a stop and puts on hazards
>no probs, must be a breakdown or something
>wait 10-15 second for a gap in traffic so I can overtake in the oncoming lane
>as I pass notice this dumb shitcunt is on their phone
>they are literally holding up 30+ people to answer their phone

Some people need to kill themselves.

A pontoon boat on the side of the highway. No trailer, no nothing. Way too heavy for even a truck full of people to unload, and placed waaaay to perfectly to have fallen off a trailer.

>be driving
>is around 7 pm
>getting dark
>come across big car line
>see ambulance lights in the distance
>drive slowly in the line
>get to the scene of the accident
>1 car in the ditch
>1 horse carriage cut in half
>2 men dead on the pavement
>watermelons everywhere
>mfw the horse is perfectly fine - not a scratch on it
>mfw the horse is eating watermelons off the pavement like nothing happened

Thats why horses make shit companions, they are autistic as fuck.

This just happened. I posted it in /dbt/ too. I'll upload a video once it's ready.

Welp fuck

>Out riding today
>Going through this small town
>Red crossover coming towards me in oncoming lane
>See passenger side door completely open while the car is still moving
>Laugh to myself and think tuck and roll faggot
>MFW someone actually dives out of the car onto the sidewalk
>Theabsolutemadman.jpg
>He stands up real quick and starts yelling at the driver
>Car turns down a side street and creeps along while the driver and this guy yell at each other
>I follow and do the OK hand gesture
>The guy that jumped up gives me a thumbs up
>I decide to leave them alone and turn around

My gopro died at some point during the ride, but I'm pretty sure it was after this happened. It's transferring my videos right now. Will deliver a webm once it's done.

>be me
>driviblng shitbox to cemetary because it was october and I cared about halloween back then
>cemetary is in the middle of bumfuck nowhere
>driving through woods on narrow rural road
>all give of us intently searching for turn off for cemetary
>no turn offs for about 5 miles exce0t one to a shelter area, that we took and then left
>another mile and it comes to where a bridge used to be, but it had partially collapsed when some dumbfuck in a semi got lost back there (heard story from a friend after the fact)
>either way, dead ends with an unpassable bridge
>turn around
>friends still looking for turn offs, I am crawling along because we know there can't be anybody out there
>suddenly
>headlights
>look like they're from an old F100 or the like
>flying up towards me
>they slow down right on my bumper
>slightly freaked because there is NOWHERE they could come from, but I still tell myself we could have missed something
>friends are freaking out more though
>somebody in the bed of the truck just starts screeching
>trying to keep my cool, girls are losing it now
>I just stick my arm out the window, wave them past
>they just start rev bombing me, peeling the rear tires a bit
>getting inches off my rear bumper
>decide fuck it, classic truck can't keep up on winding back roads
>speed up, they stay pretty close through all the turns
>take one curve
>lights disappear
>no screeching
>no exhaust sounds
>truck is just gone, no sign of them turning off
Even if it just was rednecks fucking with us, it was scary how long and how close they followed.

> 5 ton
> all that shit

Yeah, you can stop lying now.

>one way two lane road
>posted limit is 40 mph
>cyclist in right lane
>there's a meter wide sidewalk next to him.
>people swerving into the left lane to get around him
>slowing traffic down.

I think I'm going to start brake checking cyclists. Should prove a laugh.

I watched a deer corpse rupture one time as I was passing it. Was metal as fuck.

Please do

Unfortunately you can't see shit, so I gave up on fucking with the video. I guess the wide angle lens on the go pro is shit when it comes to picking stuff up 150 yards away. I zoomed in to 4x, but even then it was hard to see and it got pretty grainy and shitty. That was at 2.7k resolution. If i make a 3mb wemb, it's going to look like fucking Mario. It's a waste of time unfortunately.

Not going to lie. The National Guard is the autistic cousin of all US branches.

rip

I'll go with just something really dumb

>get a job
>coworkers like to knock off of work and get beers and have fun
>go to leave work one day
>still in the work parking lot, some car drives around me on the left in the opposing lane and slows down
>honk my horn and say "what the fuck is that?" thinking it's some jackass with a problem with me
>car accelerates and drives on ahead
>seconds later realize that it was my boss
>few more seconds later realize that it's the company baseball game tonight and have some beers afterward
>realized that he was going to invite me along and I was being an ass
feels bad now
>thought I should follow him anyway and just swallow my pride and show up anyway. going back home would have kept me alienated at least socially, if not professionally.
>got a little ribbing but it all went fine

I was driving through Turnbull canyon in soCal once and as I was approaching a blind corner, this idiot cyclist comes speeding around the bend looking at his cell phone and almost hitting me. Stupid fucker wasn't even in his lane and he never even looked up from his cell phone. Why are cyclists so shit

similar story but not quite

>out with buddies, all drunk
>we're doing hitler salutes to random cars
>I hitler salute some random shitbox while doing a flat hand over the top of my lip
>the driver looks across at me with an awkward smile
>its my boss

>going up GMR
>on bike, way behind everyone else cause its dark as fuck
>coming up to a blind corner
>spot fag in green sweater run at me like a retard
>throws baseball sized rock in my path, bike just goes over it no prob
>I come to a stop because what the fuck!?
>dude is now running towards me like a tard
>i panic wheelie and almost lose control
>get the fuck outta there dude still running at me

he weans there on the way back down.

>Faces look ugly
When you're alone

RIP Jim

>car breaks down
>immediately call someone for help
Not really an unusual thing to do. But still, how fucked can it be that you can't get it off the road; fucking push cunt

>on a bicycle
>panic wheelie
Now I know what you meant but the thought of it was pretty funny.

>Be backing out of spot
>Guy whips around corner
>See him
>Stop
>He rolls by me
>Honks at me despite me having been stopped for 3 seconds

breddy sure he meant bike as in motorcycle senpaii

saw a nigger running across a 10+ lane highway at midnight a few days ago

>Going straight through an intersection
>Have green light
>Grand Caravan decides they need to turn from the opposing turn lane right NOW
>Nearly hit me as I'm half way through the intersection
>Slam on my brakes
>They honk at me

What. Ofcourse they were old too.

And is it just me or is any grand caravan/Town&Country/ and Odyssey always driven by old people or spics who don't know the rules of the road? Nearly been ran off the road by all three of those vehicles.

if you're still here this dude's name is frank. He's pretty known for doing that shit up there.

>at 4way stop
>12 at night, dark af
>stop, proceed to try to turn left
>some asshat in an integra blows through the stop sign as im halfway through my turn
>honk at him, not even an angry honk, 2 little meeps
>figure its done with, finish turn onto deserted farm road
>integra dude SLAMS on his brakes in front of me, i manage to stop before hitting him
>he starts to get out of his car
>wtfplsno.jpg
>gun it past him as fast as my lil shitbox can go
>he proceeds to tailgate and highbeam me the whole way home

This reminds me
>at lights, 2 lanes
>one is a right turn only, the other is straight through only onto a one lane road
>me and lady next to me both at front of the que, she's in the right turning lane
>lights go green for right turn and straight at the same time
>she just goes fucking straight, not looking at all slowly getting closer and closer to me
>absolute fucking madwoman doesn't even look or see what's happening until I honk at her and slam brakes
>cuts in front of me and flips me off

Fucking woman drivers are terrible. In hindsight should've planted it but eh, live an learn.

weirdest would be some guy just walking down this road just out of town after midnight when I was doing some dagumi
scared shit out of me because I would've hit him or came close if I was on other side. was probably drunk walking back home

Also had a tree branch fall ahead of me when I was driving once
and I once drove about 5 mins with my wallet boot, didn't fall off and got out and noticed that it was still there
