Re: Police chase hypothetical
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] BTW, I also witnessed another incredibly dangerous situation in LA yesterday. I was on the ramp getting on the highway. Directly in front of me were two cars, let's call them car A (in front) and car B. Car B was tailgating A really close. Usually in this situation, when they get to the highway, B immediately passes A and the situation is over. Here, they got to the highway and B immediately moves over two lanes to pass A. Car A stays in front of B, cutting him off. B goes to pass on the right. A cuts him off again. This happens for over half a mile, until they got behind a tractor trailer and A went left of the trailer and B went right of him. I thought it was insane and they could have gotten into a huge accident. [/ QUOTE ] Wait a minute - are you honestly trying to tell me you saw somebody driving like an idiot and endangering others? I find that hard to believe! /sarcasm This should not surprise you. If it does, you are not driving as defensively as you should. [/ QUOTE ] This was, by far, the most egregious act of road rage (or two people who know each other just clowning around) that I've ever seen. Yes, I know people tailgate. I know people swerve in and out of lanes. I've just never seen one person so actively try to cut off another driver in the middle of a fairly busy traffic day before. I've seen stuff like that on empty stretches of highway in the middle of nowhere, but not in a crowded urban highway.

[ QUOTE ] 1) The "perp" could have been an undercover cop. It had no lights or sirens, but you never know. [/ QUOTE ] What in the world gives you the idea that this is even remotely possible? [/ QUOTE ] again, 1 is very stupid.

I get out of the way and let the cops do their jobs. Trying to be a hero in something like this just makes things more dangerous for the cops/everyone involved. And no police officer will ever tell you that they want a civilian involved, it just screws up their plan of attack. [/ QUOTE ] QFT
