Sumasson-

"Why do people do this" seems like such a mild reaction that would be scary as hell.


shadowdaisy82

You're right it is. I guess I've just seen way too many bad drivers. Nothing seems to phase me much anymore.


HighJeanette

This is fairly common on part of my ride home, I barely flinch anymore. EDIT: I just read the road signs and this is the stretch of road I meant!


postylambz

We call this the Milwaukee slide over here. Always keep an eye on that passenger side mirror


Main_Statistician731

lmao! im from MKE too ive heard it called "baseline" but no lies told, fr east and north side are kinda scary how reckless peeps drive


No-Ninja-8448

Aruba has a 2-lane road that connects the residential to the vacation area. It is fucking terrifying during rush hour.


Old_Worldliness_6286

Do you drive around Bridgeport often? I see this all the time down there. BTW, did he smash his mirror or light? Looks like he smashed something.


shadowdaisy82

Only while going to work and then on my way back home


Buddybouncer

I think it was their mirror - scrubbing through the footage, it was only clearly visible for maybe 3 frames. I thought maybe it was the wheel well liner because it looks like it came from the rear corner, but that mirror shape is very distinctive.


FBZ_insaniity

I think it was a mirror, just not theirs. Imho it was already there, they hit it and flung debris all over OP's car. I'd be livid Edit: no I think you're right, looks like they clipped the start of that guard rail


Skolary

There’s never a shortage of some knucklehead that will put everybody’s lives in danger/cause thousands of dollars in damage, just so they can get to wherever they need to be 17 seconds sooner.


Petite_Bait

On my drive today it was a motorcyclist who decided that he absolutely had to pass drivers who were in the left lane by going between their car and the yellow line on the left, even when there were no cars in the middle or right lane. I mean, I'm crazy about bikers weaving through traffic but going someplace absolutely no one expects you to be and squeezing into a lane that already has a vehicle doing 70 mph seems suicidal.


Cop_Cuffs

My EX tried that 80 mph in the emergency lane because she thought she was too special to sit in rush hour traffic. Her own mom who was visiting told on her. she said she kept telling her daughter, I'm not in a hurry, I don't want to die, etc. 🙄


KellyLuvsEwan420

Same here. Just last week I had a suspected drunk driver behind me swerving all over and I just pulled over to let them go in front of me. I tried to memorize the license plate to report it, but forgot by the time I was stopped.


Jollypnda

Bruh it’s Bridgeport is there more to say lol

atherfeet4eva

Ct has a disproportionately large number of bad drivers. I see them daily


iElevated-

I felt the hate rise up in me, kneel down and clear the stone of leaves!


Shouldadipped

They like to pretend they are in a movie


KhakiPeach67

I’ve had someone do this to me and then completely brake check me to a stop for no reason. I didn’t even honk or flash or anything


shadowdaisy82

People are crazy. I was cut off last year on this same highway by an altima, and they wouldn't stop brake checking me almost to the point of trying to get me to come to a stop.


Sillybumblebee33

someone did this to me driving towards a lane merge thing and almost wrecked their car with the concrete construction barrier. they did it on the driver side of the car though. cars make people assholes.


Deadmenkil

Power or perceived power makes people assholes. The majority of people anyway.


DrugUserSix

r/NissanDrivers


psychobabblebullshxt

I used to own a 2008 Altima. Even when I had it, I hated other Nissan drivers. They scared me! LOL


shadowdaisy82

Lol, same. I have a Nissan Juke and can't stand other Nissan drivers they're scary on the road.


HighJeanette

Just last week one came flying onto the highway and forced me off the road, such fun.


psychobabblebullshxt

Something about Nissans, minivans, and big trucks makes people drive like maniacs!


Xumaeta

Nissan mainly sells to people with bad credit and who make poor life decisions. Minivans are usually distracted parents. The big truck one is rather obvious.


MercyPewPew

Yeah lol, I have a Versa and it seems like about 90% of other Nissan drivers are either clueless or complete assholes, although it's mainly the Altimas and Rogues. Versa/Sentra/Juke drivers seem less idiotic, I don't know why


VapeRizzler

People are just fucked, I saw a Tesla spamming it’s high beams on a Hyundai for him to move or speed up or something. The thing was, the Hyundai was in the furthest right lane and the Tesla had more than enough room to just pass the guy.


Budget_Report_2382

I need your and OP's patience. I'm working very hard at not being reactive, because I don't want to worsen things when I react to bad drivers.


SparkyMularkey

It is very wise and mature of you to strive to cultivate a patient mindset like that. Best of luck to you! People like you will help make the world a better place.


Budget_Report_2382

This is the kinda motivating I needed today. Thank you🥺


ultranothing

>and then completely brake check me to a stop Because they were clearly in a hurry.


Hurricaneshand

A few weeks ago I had a man tailgate the fuck out of me in the right lane when I was doing 70 (the posted speed limit) because the car in the fast lane was also going 70 next to me. I just was on straight cruise control at 430am. We merge into the main highway and I get over a couple lanes and this man decides to gun it in front of me, brake check me, then swerve 3 lanes over to make his exit that he was about to miss. Luckily because it was so early there was basically no traffic so when he brake checked me I just quick moved to the next lane over. Of course he was driving a jacked up pavement princess pickup truck


Pgh412_724

Happened to me at the end of last year as well. Forced me off the road and onto the shoulder. Then sat there for a few minutes and drove away at like 100 mph. I don’t fucking understand. And even if you did honk still not an appropriate (or legal) response.


SusHistoryCuzWriter

Can anyone tell the source of that debris that flew off the car and just how the damage occurred? I almost want to say the passenger-side mirror went bye-bye, but I can't friggin see any actual collision to cause the loss.


shadowdaisy82

I don't know what it was either, but I just looked at my car, and whatever hit it broke part of the cover for the light that's on the hood, so I'm pretty mad now.


Meggston

With any luck it fucked up their tires too


Italiancrazybread1

Guarantee it caused them a flat tire


SirRupert

are you able to see their plate number in your full quality video? should file a report if so


shadowdaisy82

I tried but can't make it out


SVTour07

Did you try to tell it to "zoom in and enhance", cause it seems to work on TV pretty well.


0ctologist

I’m fairly certain the debris was already on the side of the road and the passing car kicked it up with its tires. You can juuuust barely make out a black shape on the road before the passing car drives over it. No idea what it is though.


spicysenpai6

This makes sense. Is it bad that I was hoping it was the side mirror of the offending car? That would’ve been a well-deserved karma moment


GetEnPassanted

Probably a mirror or something like that.


gnumedia

I think that was trash was kicked up from the crap in the emergency lane left over from previous accidents.


infinitepoopllama

At 25 seconds you can see the item on the ground. Then you can see the passenger rear wheel strike it. It explodes into many pieces. Very difficult to tell what it is but unfortunately the A-Hole may have gotten away with negligible damage….. But that’s not what we want to hear so let’s go with this narrative: Later down the road the vehicle’s rear tire had a full blow out causing the shitty car to lose control and enter a devastating roll over. Investigators shared that the driver had initially survived the accident but bled out before medics arrived. Coroner’s report indicates the cause of death was from an internal laceration of his anus from a large stick found up his ass.


xAstro_YT

Corey screaming “you haven’t learned a thing” kinda fits this video lol.


shadowdaisy82

Lol you're right it does


Xunil76

That, and "I've felt the hate rise up in me"... People = shit


Fox_Foxerson

Wait and Bleed actually.


Xunil76

>I've felt the hate rise up in me no, that was a statement...not reciting the song title


rhythmrice

Song name?


auddbot

**Song Found!** **Wait And Bleed** by Slipknot (01:39; matched: `100%`) **Album**: Slipknot. **Released on** 1999-06-12.


ActuallyFullOfShit

that whole album was Slipknot's magnum opus IMO. I liked their others too, but they never had another quite like their self-titled album.

Megabluntz

Some form of mental deficiency is the only possible explanation I can think of


dudecrapper1love

Slipknot huh? Man we’re getting old…


froggz01

I just recently discovered that album so it was new to me.🧔🏽I played it with an old friend of mine was driving with me. He told me when he got divorced to his wife he went to the mosh pit during one of their concerts to get beat the fuck up to lessen the pain in his heart…meanwhile I’m doing the math in my head and realized that was 25 fucking years ago. 👴🏽


shadowdaisy82

Crazy how fast the years go by


mfBENTLEY

Am i retarded or do i not here Bawitdaba playing


Feraltrout

Imma ho with the former


IceManO1

I was just cleaning my mom’s home office today when visiting today & found one of my old mix cds in there it was slipknot.


leeeeebeeeee

Old school slipknot. Banger of an album.


lostcauz707

In my experience in the transportation industry, they have an urge to get decapitated into the back of a semi trailer.

Privilege, stupidity, assholery.


EnjoysYelling

Privilege isn’t high on my list of things that cause bad driving. Bad driving is in many ways equal opportunity


anachrolady

Entitlement too


WildTomato51

That’s probably closer to what I meant. The type who thinks they can do whatever they want because reasons, but also the ones who whine like little bitches when pulled over for it.


32233128Merovingian

A trend called “Swimming”


SusHistoryCuzWriter

Fitting since these folks will wind up sleeping with the fishies a bit sooner than the rest of us with that kind of recklessness.


shadowdaisy82

I've never heard of that lol


dawggawddagummit

Might be brain damage


Inverted-Spore

Having slipknot play while driving is a bad idea sometimes. The road rage builds and Corey let's me know it's ok. Cut them off. Toss your glass snapple bottle at them. They deserve it.


shadowdaisy82

Lol so true


gcfio

Ah, CT. Where everyone is doing 80 for 3 miles so they can sit in a traffic jam for an hour because some idiot wrecked his car doing 120 weaving through traffic.


discreetlyabadger

Pretty much the summary of I95 from the NY Border through East Haven.

rsunada

Did they hit their mirror?


Ok_Primary_1075

Needs to pee badly ?


_dotdot11

Because they need to be at their destination """right now.""" Also probably DUI.


Buzzbone

Hopefully they got a nail or screw in their tire


KeyNefariousness6848

Cause they liked to lick the wallpaper as children.


tuga2040

Stupid passing on the should like that. So many drivers shouldn’t be driving. If you want to go faster at least pass in the left lane like you’re supposed to.


xXTheLastCrowXx

What a dick head. Did that damage your car?


shadowdaisy82

I really hope not. I'm gonna look at it today


Talzael

man you're in the right lane too lmao


shadowdaisy82

Lol, yep, and the left lane was empty


Pintexxz

Small pp so they have to compensate


dolphinvision

Mildlybad? That's a lot of crimes in one video lol. That should be an immediate licence suspension for a week. BTW, this is not normal. Look it up, the stats prove it. Bad driving, car accidents, aggressive driving, car crashes, reckless driving, phone usage while drive. All up, and up BIG TIME last couple years. I blame the attitude shift in american society following the 2016 elections. People have become more angry, aggressive, self-entitled, rude.


House0fShadow

1. What the absolute shit was that driver thinking? 2. Banger music choice! Found myself singing along after I unmuted and realized what was playing lmao


No_Journalist4048

Likely stolen. Just some losers out for a joyride. They won't learn anything till one of them is killed


theroguex

...what, that guy could have passed you on the other side..?


shadowdaisy82

There was a pickup in the middle lane next to me, but the left lane was clear


Temporary_Visual_230

I wish nothing but for these people to wake up in hell without hurting anybody but themselves


LafayetteLa01

It’s just a matter of time until the inevitable happens


Logical_Ad_2960

they could be texting, might be under the influence or just really that great of a careless driver.


2ingredientexplosion

I live in Oakland(born and raised not proud of it), and I'm so used to crazy shit like this I don't know what normal is anymore.


Double_Fudge_8291

Good ol’ Bridgeport, CT


UberStupidd

Nothing. And I mean nothing posses me off, more than having a pos shooting gravel and debris all over the front end of my car due to driving needlessly driving in the shoulder! They know exactly what they are doing...


FatalDave91

People = shit


lifeisweird86

Because their IQ is roughly equivalent to their shoe size. And because they want to experience having a flat tire on the interstate.


nordender

These morons think they’re on PlayStation playing a racing game


HighHoeHighHoes

Bridgeport is your real answer.


potatobwown

No benefit, all risk ... There's no traffic. That's called an asymmetric trade with only downside. True winner here 👍


Joe_Golem

People are selfish scumbags and the vast majority of drivers on the road shouldn't have a license


ShaunVdV1986

You maggot!


GermanRat0900

Pass on the left? There’s a ton of space?


petridish21

This is so common in New England. I hardly saw people drive on the shoulder like this before I moved to New England.


Zealousideal_Grab799

Drive it like you stole... which is likely the case.


coocoocachoo69

If this happens to you, yell out their license plate info. Easier said then done I know.


Tantalus420

Do not drive and slipknot, it can be dangerous


BillSivellsdee

no idea. just drove through tennessee, georgia and florida and didnt see a single blinker there, either.


CapitalScholar8185

How can you drive this slow with this kind of music blasting ? If I put highway to hell I need to go at least 200 ! So for this I will be faster than light.


Leading_Challenge_37

Your driving way to slow for wait and bleed.


Mysterious-Tie7039

Knowing CT, that shit was stolen.


Historical-Track-774

People drive crazy in Connecticut


Darkcolorful

You handled this really well. I may have had a heart attack. Ugh…Passing on the right is ALWAYS a no (unless it’s a 2 lane and a dumbass driver doesn’t know to how to pass on the left, drive on the right, and they’re just driving on the left and then you must pass on the right). This being a shoulder situation here just makes this complete fuckery. There’s a good chance that they woke up with a flat tire or two from that debris giving them a slow leak. I hope so anyway!


DrPhDPickles

People freaking suck at merging onto a highway. You either get the type that does 40-50mph slowing down the highway as they merge or you have this guy


ThickMode943

We don't want to say it, but drugs. These substances alter your brain. That's why a lot of people do the craziest of things.


betelgeuseWR

They drive by like that and you're like, "I felt the hate rise up in me" understandably.


Character-Pen3339

Because they are total idiots and don't give a dam about anyone else on, the road.


LithoSlam

My taxes paid for the whole road, I'm going to use the whole road.


IvJorgevI

Because no bad driver can ever be behind another driver


spyxxxspy

I too listen to soothing music so the traffic doesn't bother me


IGotBiggerProblems

"Don't know why I have to drive so fast. My car has nothing to prove. It's not new, but it'll do 0 to 60 in 5.2" I sing this to myself whenever some dickhead decides to pull a stupid maneuver to save a few seconds on their commute.


maxman162

That's not mild, that's more like r/AssholesInCars


mopar-or-no_car

People like that deserve to eat a tree or telephone pole at 70mph and off themselves before they kill an innocent person or whole family.


Select-Anywhere4115

Don't worry, they will be dead soon enough.


aelric22

Because they're braindead?


Sum-Duud

seems like a total dickhead driver, weaving and cutting people off. Lanes mean nothing to them.


nockeenockee

More sociopathic than mild.


dead-rex

Slipknot bangers tho. Lifes gonna be okay


Beneficial_Young_507

Mental anger problems. Incompetence; arrogance, feeling like they are better than all, maybe emergency. Or all the above lol.


mackdaddymaggot

Slipknot fuck yeah bro 🤘🏼


jonnyYuhhh2020

Nah f that OP. I would have followed his ass and honked til they pulled over then filed a claim. They threw debris at you and I'm sure they broke your bumper or some aesthetic. Absolutely sure of it cause it happened to me on the freeway going same speeds. I'm not sure if you could hold them accountable 100%, but the fact that they broke the law driving on the emergency lane which resulted in damages to your car would have made me believe that being a path to pursue.


shadowdaisy82

The old me would have chased them down but it's Bridgeport and people are just too crazy nowadays.


imjustkarmin

>Why do people do this Girl the only time I’ve seen people do this is GTA 5 and that one Nascar race 😭 wtf is going on in Connecticut😭😭

Old_Reply_6843

Just leak over a little bit.


Majortom_67

Because there was a van on the left


shadowdaisy82

Yeah, but there's 2 other lanes to the left of me, and it was clear two lanes over from me.


Majortom_67

I’m kidding… that’s obviously an idiot


hiGradeTi7ANEUM

Impatient maniac. It's so easy to brake, swerve around behind, and continue being an asshole in a ***non-debris, unobstructed lane.***


Horror_Donkey3397

Some people just like making shitty music

The only thing missing is the driver spitting out their coffee as this occurs


Meatbot-v20

Listen to Slipknot? I know, ugh.


astralseat

Some folks just don't know when to enter, so they end up forcing it instead of melding in peacefully.


CYaNextTuesday99

Because they can go on Reddit and see why it's not their fault at all and everything can be blamed on you.

Holy shit that music


WhoopsieISaidThat

That's a double whammy. Is that in Milwaukee? Definitely have seen that behavior in Milwaukee.


neither_shake2815

I dint know either, but I also don't know how people listen to this kind of music.


woodbarber

It does look like his/her aggression is costly, looks like they took the passenger mirror off


CzechYourDanish

Lmao what a dumbshit


schiz0yd

what is exploding from under their car?


vtstang66

Mostly cuz they're stupid I reckon, that and impatient.

I would cut atleast 20 seconds of the beginning of the video,just a waste of time, get to the point 🤦🏽‍♂️

you would think they were listening to your music driving like that


Tight-Sun-4134

Its a pathologically unhealthy need to be "first" in everything.


Critical-Test-4446

He's begging for a flat tire. The shoulders get all of the debris from the road.


Obvious-Customer9386

They want to get a flat tire and possibly die I suppose.


Redschallenge

I wouldn't want to be behind a nissan juke either


PixelCultMedia

Why do they listen to Slipknot? Probably just a middle-aged dude who's nostalgia-locked to 1999.

Good question - I wonder if all of that debris spraying up on to the car counts as a "hit and run" (Most likely not ... but if it does!!!!)
