Default Red C7 WV plates driving reckless in traffic I-70w Washington, PA area today

If that was you today, you were setting a terrible example and giving our cars a bad name.

Its too bad i didnt cream you in my truck when you approached me at 120 mph+ while i was driving in the slow lane and then you cut off 2 cars in the fast lane so you could pass me.

It's good you didn't.

As bad as it is seeing someone being an idiot on the road, don't ever have the idea to do that, or you could very easily be killed by the moron in the other car. Over the years I've learned to bite my tongue, avoid the idiot and make a call to the highway patrol if it's that bad.

You are right. Even though my dualie worktrck outweighs the vette by almost 5000 lbs, my path could have been deflected and sent into a semi or something.

I had a chance to glimpse at the driver -as he slowed to split in between 2 cars in the fast lane and it was a dark hair d white male of medium build. Prob about 30.

It was really bad with other traffic present and the high speed differential.

I am unusual as i am always che king my 6 o clock when driving (vs. most other drivers - oblvious until they see the car go by).

I noticed it use the slow lane to attempt to pass 2 cars in the fast lane - but there was t enough distance before he caught up to me to pass both cars.

So it rapidly threw itself in between the 2, forcing one to brake to let it in.

I watched it pull similar driving antics as it disappeared into the distance.

I was just waiting for the highway to get shut down due to a wreck it caused.

Btw. I dont appreciate any car driving like that in traffic.

Now, if theres no one on the road and it wants to open it up to 150 for a couple seconds or run a rural curvy road hard in middle of nowhere . Im not opposed to that

Be advised, there are a lot of C7 owner's on this forum that think this kind of dangerous and irresponsible behavior is OK. Be prepared to get flamed.

I in know way support reckless driving. But I drive I-70 monthly going to Columbus to visit my daughter and it's very frustrating when trucks are in the left lane, I know you said right lane, going 10-20 under the speed limit. Guaranteed that's what happen. If it wasn't you it was probably another trucker trying to save a cup of fuel going uphill in the left lane trying to pass you.. STAY IN THE RIGHT LANE IF YOU CAN DO THE SPEED LIMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes it is and it would appear your emoticon takes it lightly... perhaps you just clicked the wrong one....

Sadly one of many... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...cing-half.html

I don't take people's lives lightly, I take Internet lightly though, you should learn how to also. My laughter was clearly to what the other person wrote, not the lack of respect of the driver in question here.

With a name like "Biergut" I'm willing to bet the farm you have driven under the influence more then once in your life, fact. Did you find it funny then?????

Really - that's what's you're going with? Assumptions? Must have hit a nerve... sorry about that, however, very mature reply nonetheless. And from a vendor no less.

Have a good one.

I do not take your condescending reply warmly, your assumption in the first place is what lead to that. Get off your high horse..

I can see that and apologize. I get worked having lost a PCA friend many years ago who made a mistake driving like a JA on a pubic road and paid the ultimate price. To hear some of these guys brag here about reckless behavior I find sad. The problem is all mine.

Thank you sir, I certainly see where that can happen. For the record, I do not in anyway condone stupidity of that nature either and my driving license history will reflect that. Now on the race track....
Sorry for your loss, Happy holidays.
