Long story short I'm sitting at a red light that has a left turn lane ONLY that is to my left of course.
Light turns green I go straight.
I make it 100% of the way through the intersection, when all of a sudden there is a PRIUS hood at my drivers side window....GOING MY DIRECTION!!! Scared the **** out of me! The car is on the wrong side of a busy road (1pm on a Friday)...
I lay on the horn and slow down to let in this lunatic.
The person gets infront of me.......and what to do I see???
How's my driving?? on her bumper!! It has a website (which I can probably figure out) on it!! I start to smile.
The light infront of us turns red, it is red for at least a full second before we get to it......My window is down and I'm mouthing the words "I'm going to report you"
She says something back that I have no idea what it was and she ran the red light. She then got onto the highway.
Well guess what, 95 always has traffic after 11am on Friday's. I had NO PROBLEM catching up to her.
Here's the pic I got (we were actually moving and I was holding up the center lane by snapping this, I didn't want to be too much of a dick and slow others down so I kept going).

Here's a diagram that is an accurate depiction of where things happened. She got in my lane JUST as we got to the train bridge.

I just finished a complaint with pictures included and wrote that I want her removed from driving a state owned car. My tax dollars paid for her to cut me off, endanger MY LIFE and the life of the other people in the oncoming direction.

I was on the OP's side up to here. He took it too the next level and responded with an holier then thou atittude.
Have you ever made a mistake? Accidently cut someone off? Put yourself in the drivers shoes, you made a stupid mistake though no one got hurt, you got a crazy nut following you around mouthing threats taking pictures?
I disagree, if he slammed on his brakes, most likely the ambulance behind him would have rear ended him. He also mentioned he slowed down, not slammed on the brakes.

I did slow down and not SLAM on brakes. It doesn't change the fact that she CUT ME OFF.
I did not respond with a hollier then thou attitude, I responded with a NORMAL person attitude.
I saw the "Hows my driving sticker" and when she looked at me I said "i'm going to report you"
I'm not a (other word for cat that SD autochanges), but I'm also not going to take it to an extreme level.
I did NOT follow her as far as she knew.
From her view she ran a red light and I was gone, she had no idea I even snapped the picture.
I wish I could ban your stupidity from this thread.

That's not a simple mistake. It's not like the guy changed lanes without using a blinker or something simple and innocent like that. THE GUY DROVE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. The OP is entitled to be pissed off. If I had been the OP, I would have flipped the Prius the bird. The OP chose to yell at the guy. In either case, I think a little display of frustration is warranted. It's not like the OP followed the guy home and smashed his windshield with a tire iron. You are clearly overreacting, and on the wrong side of the equation to boot. What the Prius guy did is about 1,000,000 times worse than what the OP did and you are acting like the OP is a personification of evil or something.

- A person who did it by mistake WOULD NOT HAVE FLOORED the car and out accelerated me.
- I was in a lexus IS250 - she was in a prius. I don't know exactly how fast I was taking off......but she CLEARLY had her Prius FLOORED - proven by the fact that she did't actually get infront of me until right before the train bridge - her hood wasn't at my side door till we were THROUGH the intersection.
- There is no way a person who is confused floors a car and cuts off another car. That's a conscious choice she made. She knew she was in the wrong, but did it anywya.
If she can't figure out that a RED arrow does not mean "Go straight" or the ARROWS IN HER LANE (seen in the picture I posted in the OP) then she REALLY NEEDS TO GET OFF THE farkING ROAD! Especially in a car that I helped pay for.

No need to get angry, calm down.
If you wanted me to stop posting, you could have just asked. You really do have some anger issues, Might I suggest... www.angerclasso
You're in the wrong here buddy. I guess you'd have just let her get away with it. I'm sorry, I helped to pay for the car she's driving and the gas that's in it. I also help to pay her salary. She better learn to drive better if she wants to have the thrill of driving around for free on my dime.

If she found herself in the middle of the intersection with no where to go she should have stopped and figured it out.
The last thing you do when you're confused is hit the gas.
