  • To the driver of the red Yaris

    To the driver of a red Toyota Yaris on Rt 128 northbound, who changed lanes right at the Trapelo Road exit at 5:07PM EST, then got off onto Rt-2 east.

    I'm the driver of the black Honda Civic who damn near sideswiped you when you executed that lane change.

    Did you see me? Were you even aware that there was an onramp there, and that someone might've been merging into that opening that you swooped into?

    I'm guessing the answer to those questions is NO. You're lucky that I was paying attention, otherwise.....well, maybe we shouldn't dwell on that.

    Oh, and to the driver of the black or dark gray Audi A4 on Route-3 north at 5:21PM.....did it ever occur to you that the reason I slowed down might've been because the traffic ahead was backed up? Rt 3 *always* backs up where it did today. You had Massachusetts plates, so I have to assume you're local. Therefore you really should've known this. Passing me - without signaling - accomplished what exactly? I was behind you the whole rest of the way up Rt 3 all the way to I-495. You gained exactly 1 position. But in doing so, you committed at least two moving violations, and then when you got ahead of me you had to slam on the brakes since...you know....traffic ahead was backed up....which is why I had slowed down in the first place.

    Like the Yaris driver, you're lucky that I was paying attention.

    Dumbasses.....

    I always say it's really lucky sometimes that I'm paying attention because a lot of these other drivers sure aren't.

      There was a guy on youtube with the handle TNL, or twisternederland07. He's been TOSsed, but plenty of folks have archived his videos.

      The guy posts, or posted, collections of accident videos, mostly from Russia. Seems everyone in Russia has a dash cam these days, and when they get into accidents they post it on various websites (rusdtp dot ru is one of them) from which this guy downloads them and creates compilations. Scary shit, some of it.

      The vast majority of these crashes, some seen from the car involved, others from the car behind, look like they were due to people not paying attention. (Most of the rest were due to going too fast on ice, which is strange given how much of the year you find ice in that country; you'd think they'd have figured out how to drive on it by now.)

      I've also learned some new vocabulary from these videos, but not anything I could use in polite conversation...
