Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / May 2005Add This One to the List
A couple of days ago (and I'm too lazy to look for the thread, so I'll just summarize it here) someone pointed out that's it's REALLY f.cking STUPID to do stupid things in a company vehicle (which has your company's name pained on the side). It's also pretty stupid to drive like an a.shole when you have a "For Sale" sign in your car window with your phone number on it. Right up there on the list are the ham radio operators who have their callsign on their license plates. There are any number of ham radio callsign servers on the Internet. Given that it takes less than 10 seconds to pull up your name, your home address, and maybe even some other information, you'd be really fuckin stupid to do something asinine, like "Gerald" (the owner of a grey S-2000) did today in the Ralph's parking lot at the corner of Culver and Walnut in Irvine. :)  SignatureLife is short - drive fast! http://www.geocities.com/scottenaztlan/ >A couple of days ago (and I'm too lazy to look for the thread, so I'll > just summarize it here) someone pointed out that's it's REALLY f.cking [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > asinine, like "Gerald" (the owner of a grey S-2000) did today in the > Ralph's parking lot at the corner of Culver and Walnut in Irvine. :) So what are you saying? Find the guy who cut you off and track him down to have your vengeance? This is a viable option? >So what are you saying? Find the guy who cut you off and track him down to >have your vengeance? This is a viable option? Here in SoCal, there have been (last time I heard) 11 freeway shootings since March, most attributed to "road rage." What do you think would happen if you pissed off one of these nutballs and he could easily find out where you live?

Unfortunately, you can't call the police after the fact and have them ticket the guy, even if you offer to sign the ticket. I've tried. > A couple of days ago (and I'm too lazy to look for the thread, so I'll > just summarize it here) someone pointed out that's it's REALLY f.cking > STUPID to do stupid things in a company vehicle (which has your > company's name pained on the side).

If you wrote down the time and license number, a phone call to the company may very well get results even if the police wouldn't care. > A couple of days ago (and I'm too lazy to look for the thread, so I'll > just summarize it here) someone pointed out that's it's REALLY f.cking > STUPID to do stupid things in a company vehicle (which has your > company's name pained on the side).

How about this: A Yellow Cab (aka Mr. Cab Driver, or MCD) pulled onto SR-163 S in San Diego, CA at the Robinson Street ramp, and at about (estimating) 25-30 mph, MCD swerved across the right lane into my path (in the left lane) where I was doing about 57 mph (in a 55 zone, coming off a curved uphill section.) Fortunately, I drive a lightweight Honda coupe and the lifted Ford F-150 (Big a.s Truck, or BAT) behind me was paying enough attention and left enough space to avoid crushing me when I had to slam on my brakes to avoid hitting MCD. MCD unforunately had a unique Cab # that I reported to his manager by calling the number painted on his car. MCD will now be undergoing some re-training and a road test before he'll be allowed to drive under their name again (or any other in MTS' jurisdiction), and MCD will be on probation for at least 6 months, according to the his boss that I spoke to. The best part is that I didn't get called back for a few days because both BAT and I both complained, and MCD's manager assumed both complaints were from the same person until he talked to both Mr BAT and myself, and we both described it exactly the same. I might not be a cop, but if you're dumb enough to have your boss' phone number on your car and almost cause me to get crushed, be glad if you still have a job in San Diego. Dave (the kind who Drives Right, Passes Left and will use his cell phone to call 911 when he sees a Road Rager throw sh.t at someone. if i'm an a.shole, so are you.) |
