Thanks

I'd like to drive that fast, but I don't think I'd have tried that in the traffic I was in, while it wasn't a lot, the fact that I could always see a few cars on the road at any time would make me a bit nervous. I often speed, and often get people pulling out in front of me for no reason. They don't look? think I'm going slower? I'm not sure, but I'm generally always ready to mat the brakes if I'm going even slightly to the edge.

Worst ever went like this...

I was doing 120 km/h around the bend around the airport on the 427 and went to take the exit off to Dixon, and hadn't slowed down much and some guy (in a Kia Rio RX-V) cuts across right infront of me doing like 40!! there had to be a car length and a half between me and him and me doing 3 times his speed. Matted the brakes threw the car side ways, slid for a bit, then recovered and stopped at the lights. And then the guy was pissed off at me, yes I was going a bit quick, but it was his mistake not mine.

Now I guess you could say I should have slowed down more, or seen him coming, but he was sitting there, and no signal to change lanes even, it was as if he wanted me to hit him, or didn't see me at all. Oh well, just another one of those times.

Ever had a guy box you in because you were going faster than him? like not neccisarily speeding out of your mind, but just cruising along and he blocks you, then when you goto pass blocks you again etc.. I never understood that. Both times it's happened that I can recall in recent times anyway, it was by guys in SUVs, one an Acura MDX and the other I think a Murano.
