Default UNR8D has a stack!!!

wednesday night comming home from work in peak hr traffic, crawing along the gateway motorway 60kmh est.. a car in the left lane 2 cars up decides he wants the right lane.. nothing wrong with that i start breaking seeing what is happening up in front had about a car/car and half distance in front of me so its all good, next thing the spanker in the left lane beside me does the same thing and jumps into the useable space for breaking and cuts my breaking distance by like 3/4 right at the time everyone has just pulled up...... ABS...ABS...ABS (truck to the right and a dirty ditch to my left) got as close to the truck on the left as possible and drilled this twit at 30kmh in the **** of a $500 laser which went into a BA falcon in front..... My fault as i hit from behind but ****ED because this spank used my breaking area as a invitation to jump into where he wasnt wanted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT HAPPY

the end result speaks for itsself. : : :baby bott

What a knob. Two cars damaged (well ones worth a mention forget the laser), and look at your right, its a mess, that guy/girl in the car that stole your braking possy should be taken out. Ive had people do stupid crap infront of my and i'm only on my l's,

Sometimes if you hit the car in front, you are not at fault. Just depends on the circumstance, evidence, which state rules apply and the cop report...


Sorry to hear of the damage. But its good to see you making the most of it in getting some other stuff done as well.
