Thread 28575810

When was your last
>OH SHIT
moment and what happened exactly?

Like 15 minutes ago.
There's this one asshole with a candy pink vw bug that drives up and down my work commute road.
On the road there's this one quite sharp blind turn that the fucker always takes head on and the main issue is he always cuts the corner by driving in the middle of the road with zero care for incoming traffic.
Yeah I know it's "based" except he has sideswiped 2 cars in that corner in the past 5 years and wrecked one bug already in a collision.
Usually people are courteous enough to swerve to the side, except when I'm driving in my lane with my shitbox crossover.
Thus far he has narrowly avoided hitting my car, swerving just as he's about to wreck a second time.

Always keep an eye in your rearview, fellas. If I wasn't watching, I wouldn't have seen any of this unfold.

>>28575810 (OP)
I nearly ran over a truck in the 50 tonne front loader I drive at work, was coming down a ramp at 30kmh and the truck drove somewhere he shouldn't have been, only didn't kill him because I dug my bucket into the ground to stop, stopped a few meters in front of his truck, 1 second here or there and can't was dead

That was the last time I went out messing around in the snow.Im going to get a second car that I dont care about for that

>>28575861
>Always keep an eye in your rearview, fellas.
I do this religiously, it has kept me out of several accidents. Similar to your story:
>heading home from work for lunch because I have a delivery scheduled (new home gym, I needed to be there)
>3 cars including me going 80km in a 60 zone which is standard on this road outside of rush hour
>Coming up to a sudden amber light
>First car stomps on the brakes even though no one is turning left in the oncoming lane and it turned amber about 20 feet out for him
>Car in front of me is a Tesla and hammers the brakes in time
>I foresaw this and had lots of room to stop but I did have to get on the brakes hard
>Jeet behind me in a shit box 2000's Hyundai that was already falling apart was on his phone and bare tires hit his brakes way too late and was skidding towards me
>I see this in my rearview and move up almost kissing the bumper of the Tesla in front of me
>Jeet barely stops with about an inch from my rear bumper
I have avoided so many accidents by just watching the people around you. Always assume everyone is fucking retarded.

I am glad that the road had a 20 mph speed limit, but I am completely out of control then. Luckily, it was a loose contact that I had fixed.

When I lost brakes last month. In a 91 year old car.

White cuckover pulls out in front of me while I am traveling at 70mph on a 2 lane highway just as I am nearing the crest a hill. I had to move into the oncoming lane and brake while assessing if I need to move into the oncoming shoulder for oncoming traffic or get back into the correct lane. No one was coming up the hill so I was able to get back into the correct lane. Luckily I was prepared for the dumbest shit imaginable to happen in front of me as soon as I spotted the white cuckover. Those are the niggsan ultimas of rural driving.

>>28575810 (OP)
Not one I committed,. but one I witnessed. An old guy I know rammed his truck into a massive nearby ree while clumsily flooring it instead of braking. No one was hurt. and not much expense either, but it was fucking embarrassing

>>28575923
>sudden amber light
I hate these things, they are more trouble than they were designed to prevent
Could've made the green blink a few times before changing, could've added a timer like some countries did. No, here's your amber and three seconds. Fucking generous.

A neon green haired crackhead lady pulled directly out in front of my work truck last week. Luckily I noticed that it was a Nissan altima trying to pull out of an Exxon so I knew exactly what was going to happen before it did.

>>28575810 (OP)
Mindlessly making a right turn to the min-street in front of the appartment building to park my car, i mindlessly do a weak turn because i was looking away when my eyes snap to the BMW X6 that was getting out of there.
I stomped on the brakes, corrected course and did not hit him. The guy in that car mustve been scared. I did the "yeah im wrong and i know it gesture" with the face and shoulders, he smiled and drove away.

if there was any oncoming traffic I probably would be dead

>>28576206
The worst is that most retards are taught and/or believe
>YOU NEED TO HECKING HIT YOUR BRAKES ON LE YELLOW LIGHT
so every dumbass ends up slamming their brakes when there is no oncoming traffic turning left which is the only potential accident that can occur there
>could've added a timer like some countries did
Oh anon. They did this in my province in Canada, people saw the countdowns from far away and they STARTED TO BRAKE WHEN IT WAS AT 3 2 OR 1.
It was great for me because I have perfect vision so I could downshift and floor it if I saw that I wouldn't make it though

>>28575810 (OP)
long two line highway, climbing hill, no passing section due to limited visibility, see top of big rip appearing in on other lane coming towards me, as I crest the hill there is white work truck in my lane coming at me head on. Had to swerve to the right into the dirt. If impact would have been me, work truck and probably into the big rig. bought a dash cam the next day.

when it starts raining or snowing, 100% of the most insane retards start driving as recklessly as possible, angry, defiant. it happens every time, no matter where i am, and i could never figure out why bad weather makes people drive the exact OPPOSITE of the way they're supposed to

this thread has helped me understand the type of absolute retards i'm sharing the road with

>>28577329
dunno about angry or defiant, for me it was more like complacency, just driving like the road was dry. i only do that when nobody else is on the road though.

I do this because my work truck is monitored and I'm not risking getting in trouble for your convenience.

legally where i'm at yellow means stop if it is safe to do so
front and rear cams on my vehicle will show that slamming on the on the brakes would cause an unsafe situation and both i and the guy that would potentially rear end me would then be both liable

>the "yeah im wrong and i know it gesture" with the face and shoulders
what is this
>>28576799
>fucker actually juked me
I don't understand people who joke you like that while driving, I had a side-by-side illegally driving on the road and they pulled off the road to the right which I assumed meant they were letting me drive around them, and as I hit the gas to get around them, they suddenly decide that rather than pull off to the right they actually want to be driving across the entire road to get to the gravel on the left side of the road, so I had to slam on the brakes a second time, like, why? Why are you faking out other drivers where if they fall for it you get hit by a car in a vehicle that is not designed to get hit by a car?
>>28578218
I'm guilty of this when I go driving with my friends because I have a gigantic body on frame land barge sedan and the majority of them have Miatas or Miata sized vehicles, but I feel bad when I'm in front of them as well because then I'm holding them up :(

>>28578611
not sure I've read anything quite that retarded in a long while

>>28578678
i've seen it used in the daily bike thread. personally it makes me feel awkward

I did a 3 point turn in a 15' uhaul to get out of a congested turn lane where the light just wasn't going for cycle after cycle and realized I didn't even look up the road when I backed up across lanes.
Literal Pajeet moment I almost shit myself when I realized that. Would've straight up killed a motorcyclist.

>>28577329
Really? Where I'm at the exact opposite happens. If there's so much as a slight drizzle a significant portion of cars go maybe 60% tops of the speed limit on a dead straight with a mile or more visibility in every direction.

>>28578674
you raise your shoulders up, raise your palms up, lower your face,maybe even do an akward grimace with the face

I got a green light left turn then slammed my brakes because a mexican lady went straight (on her turn lane even) almost crash into me.
She gave me the evil eye and made me think I ran the light. I reviewed dashcam and was fucking mad I didn't lay my horn on her.

>>28579884
>was fucking mad I didn't lay my horn on her.
lewd

there was stopped traffic in the highway after a blind turn
had to brake hard and managed to stop 10 cm away from crashing
it wouldn't be blind at 50 km/h but at 100 there's not much time to react

>>28576221
Mine was similar, was cruising along about 75 in the right lane of 81 in my Clubman near Sevierville, suddenly a sprinter van crosses 3 lanes of traffic from the left to merge into me. I slammed on brakes, I couldn't see his bumper it was so close. I passed, sure enough it was a jeet jabbering away on his phone. I hate them so much.

>>28577358
Which resort was it? We might have worked together.

>about 50 yds behind a shitbox
>he suddenly comes to a complete stop to turn left
>I say "suddenly" because he had no brake lights or turn signal

I realized I really take for granted just how important brake lights are

Aquaplaning downhill at 120 kph on the speedway. Was nearing a car in front of me and when I turned the steering wheel nothing happened: I kept sliding downhill at 120 kph. I straightened out the steering wheel again, started braking lightly and once I found a little traction I tried turning again. I was rapidly approaching the car in front and ended up missing it by about 1m, managing to get into the other lane just in time to pass the car.
Nowadays I drive a AWD EV instead of a FWD shitbox so hopefully the electronics will save my ass the next time I’m being a retard.

>>28577764
Yes, my bike.
>>28578218
Agreed, for this we rotated each lap with the person at the front going to the back. I got put in a slower group eventually and it was fine.

>>28581217
>thinks AWD is going to help him braking

>>28577301
That's crazy. Fucking jeet truckers man

Jeet in a champagne colored minivan almost t-boned me at a traffic circle yesterday. Slammed my brakes and laid on my horn. I can imagine the "faking timmy fak you bloody benchod" on his end. Fucking yield you dumb cunts, they don't know how anything works

>>28583128
if you think jeet truckers are bad you should see the dumbass nigs they hire during harvest, you don't have to have a cdl to drive for harvest.
I had this stupid ass motherfucker coming at me doing 90mph overloaded on a two-lane and he picked up 2 axles off the ground almost rolling the thing when he accidentally went off the shoulder of the pavement as he was driving by me.
they're bad enough as is because they speed everywhere and are always slinging rocks off the tires and causing wrecks as is.

Nantahala Outdoor Center

>>28577321
Yeah. I'm not gonna say me specifically but my car gets skittish past like 120mph, even on good tires. A patch of uneven road surface or even a good gust of wind like >>28577320 can destabilize the car. These are speeds where you need aero and very wide sticky tires, and you might as well make it a track car and start paying for track days if you want to go that fast, it's stupid to drive on most public roads above 80-90 mph here and even that is already considered speeding

>>28575810 (OP)
about 4-5 years ago i was towing a project from out of state, uhaul was the only option, was a couple miles from home on a 55mph country road, at the bottom of a hill there's a bridge and an intersection to turn left onto another road, no stop sign on the highway. this particular day there were 2 fucking hags trying to wave to eachother to go first. i hit the bottom of the hill and see this and hit the brakes, the first thing the fucking uhaul does is pick up the back of my truck and push me sideways, i recover and start fighting the fucking trailer and realize im not fucking stopping in time, lay on the fucking horn and the bitch still isnt moving, flopping like a fucking fish between the two lanes, cant take a ditch because im on the bridge, i get about 20 feet away from the dumb whore when she realizes she needs to fucking move and what does she do? just goes straight. fuck uhaul and their shortbus ass car haulers that dont have brakes and fuck women

Wonders of single circuit master cylinder.

Nearly killed a guy at work yesterday. Insead of walking around, the fuckin' nonce dipped under the arm just as I began to lower it, and I was about 2 inches away from cracking open his skull. My heart nearly stopped dead.

>>28583242

>>28583391
>>28583396
Well, he's a nice guy, so running him over would be a shame, but he is an absolute walking safety hazard. Wears fucking crocs all the time, which pretty much says it all.

Let a friend of mine drive my dad's Moggy yesterday, and she very nearly money shifted it. For some reason she was almost slam-shifting into gear, and she managed to force the poor thing into the non-syncro 1st gear from top of 2nd with an almighty "CRONCH"; luckily she never lifted the clutch, but fucking hell, that really hurt to witness.

Had someone merge onto a 4 lane freeway, and then promptly cross 3 lanes of traffic to try and merge into me in the center-left lane, before then also chasing me into the far left lane right after. He then slammed on his brakes with me behind him, but fortunately at this point I had moved back into the middle-left lane. I was convinced the guy had just snapped and way trying to kill a rando on the highway, but as he decellerated past me, I could see him fucking with his phone. Man never even knew I existed.

Hope that text was important.

>>28581339
I have always put good tyres on my cars. Even the best tyres cannot handle 120 kph downhill in a torrential downpour.

>>28587023
Idk, buy all terrains with deeper thread depth (they are different) if you really have to drive that fast over puddles of water?
They are worse than highway tires on clean surfaces by probably every measure, but they can withstand thicker layer of water without floating and you get better grip on dirty and dusty parts of the road as a bonus.

>>28586505
>Insurance paid for repairs and I ended up getting a fat HKS intercooler and Greddy aluminium radiator instead of stock so I'm better off now lol

driving home from work the road splits and turns into an entirely one way road, 2 lane. im autopilot, just focusing directly in front of me and way to late notice that theres a fucking car coming incoming in the other lane? its only 25 mph, so we all have a chance to move, but what the fuck. you really get complacent driving the same way, same route every day. i should of seen that happening from a mile away, its literally a perfectly straight road with perfect visibility all the way through town

>>28583771
Not even at a construction site will people use their Croc straps??? Am I the only one???

>>28578605
My bad, I didn't mean slamming the brakes. Just stopping at the yellow. Sometimes I have to hit them a little hard but if I have to slam them I'll just blow through it.

>>28587484
>You're not a man if you're wearing crocs
I wear crocs around the house (literally outside) or in the garage for most jobs. Really useful if the climate allows you, especially if there's water involved. What are you going to do, call the fashion police on me?

>>28578605
All traffic light signals are "if it is safe to do so" That stops you suing the people that put them there.

>>28588198
Traffic lights that make lots of people brake hard while watching their rear mirror instead of the intersection are not safe at all.

>>28575810 (OP)
I was driving home from the dentist, and I guess the anaesthetics hadn't worn off, cause I just straight up turned right on red without even looking.

Dude my feet will slip out of the Crocs just walking around the house if I don't have the straps down, it's not like it makes it any harder to take them off?

>>28583771
I'd get cussed out if I showed up to my fucking warehouse forklift job in crocs, why is your company entertaining this loser in the first place???

>moneyshifting into 1st from 2nd
Good fucking Lord, I've had a few close calls in higher gears when I wasn't paying enough attention, but how do you do THAT?

>>28588023
It paid alright because I lived in staff housing. They just worked me like I was salary but kept me as part time so I wouldn't get benefits.

>>28589491
He slips out of them on occasion, but otherwise he keeps 'em in check. Skill issue?

>>28589492
He's been working for them for over 40 years, so he's got some kind of favoritism with them. We also don't have a permanent health and safety bloke on site, so we just let him crack on. The actual site manager isn't really too happy with him, but big boss above is pulling the strings, so we're stuck with him.

>>28589497
She was physically slamming the gears back and forth woth lightning speed, and obviously not thinking about when she was pushing and pullig them. I didn't think too much of it at first, figured it was just nerves, but obviously I should have told her to relax a little before hand. Either way, it seems no damage was done, so no harm no foul.

Got caught up in the chase in Aberdeen yesterday with the fucker going backwards on i-95. I actually shit myself out of fear (and dehydration) when I saw him coming towards me

when the water went over the bonnet.

>>28589766
Ooo, that was very silly. My favorite part of those Rufford Ford videos is watching someone enter slowly, then smash the throttle and launch water over the bonnet. Very few cars ever survive~

I'll never forget the fear. It plateaued at the top of the "AW FUCK" spike but fucking STAYED THERE until we'd all stopped.

No time, besides which I would have T-boned the car waiting to pull out from the opposite side of the junction.

Based aware anon. Sorry for your LHD country.

Bump.
This was an interesting read and better than 95% of the other shitposting threads

Never go too hard spiritedly before scouting your track!

Excess courtesy on the road always causes BS like this, just follow the rules of the road and F'in GO

For me, the last OH SHIT moment was when I realized that I had bought a ram 2500 hemi

>>28576211

No clue why the RV didnt just pull into the rest area

Was half the price of my car. :(

Bumper, hood, fender, valance, intercooler, and core support ruined. Had to have a frame machine pull the front end straight and get replacement parts. Took 8 months to get it fixed and cost $5,000 between the bodywork, paint, and parts. I sold the big turbo and put 4 ECS 02s on it after that.

Who here is old enough to remember that tripfag that almost offed himself by nearly driving off a cliff drifting on the blue ridge parkway?

He posted the webm of himself doing it here years ago. Don't remember his name.

Luckily it turned out they were just there to arrest some combative gypsy and probably wouldn't have bothered to run my plates.

>>28602630
that's either that guy or the guy that put the wheel treads on his miata backwards

A retarded boomer bitch was parked on the highway perpendicular in my lane like it was a median. If I didn’t have brembo brakes that bitch would’ve died. Old people shouldn’t drive.

>>28575810 (OP)
Yesterday when some nitwit decided they needed to go 20 above the speed limit and swerved out from behind me, then back infront of me with no signal and nearly rear-ended the person infront of me.

Next closest was this guy tonight who was cutting their turn into the oncoming lane as I was pulling up to an intersection. I caught it and stopped early so we wouldn't collide.

On my GSX ever waking moment is an OH SHIT moment, 5 mornings a week I either end up at work or valhalla.

Ah yes let’s replace the tyres that work well for me 364 days a year to replace them with all terrains that would suit my driving 0 days a year since I don’t go off road. Than you for the advice.
Let me guess, you drive a truck because you use the bed once every three years?
