this guy hit the log. As if it was his responsiblity not only to be in control of his own vehicle, but the BMW as well. Instead of trying to figure out a reason whythis idiot was tailgating, cant you just admit that he shouldnt have been? No matter what the circumstances. Why are you so quick to assume that the BMW driver was doing nothing other than being an asshole?[/b]
The tactic I was using here was "Playing Devil's Advocate", and it just goes to show how fast people get bent here and jump all over the few that share a different opinion on something. No one here, including Carlton, knew why this guy was riding his ass.

Kudos for great pyr-hauler for being the only one here smart enough to know my original intent. Really, sometimes it's just to easy. And to think I didn't even have to hide in the "Supporting Members" section to do it.

Now for the people who don't believe that was my initial intent here, here's some more fodder for the shit slingers:

Personally I still would have let the person pass me because if the road was as dangerous and busy as Carlton has suggested, it wouldn't be worth risking a serious accident over something as petty as someone riding my ass. I kept asking Carlton how often this happens because obviously he felt the need to exhort a little revenge here with the BMW driver, so much for driving defensively. It's also obviouse he was proud of his actions, or he wouldn't have posted it to begin with, hence he shouldn't get upset when someone disagrees with his actions. I don't know about you, but I have bigger things in life to be worry about, and I definitely wouldn't have posted something a high school student would have done in the same situation.

And another thing, I definitely would have tried stopping for that log in the road before someone else hit it (as someone here already suggested). Sounds to me there might have been a chance since we're only talking a 2 lane road here, not a major highway.

Flame away.
