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.

But yeah, go ahead and think that your idea was so much better.
What she did was NOT SAFE at all. She scared the SHIT out of me being on the left side of my car when I was not expecting it. And then for her to cut me off, making me slow down was also NOT safe.
You will NOT win this argument. The SAFEST THING TO DO when you realize you are in the wrong place is STOP YOUR farkING CAR and let others adjust around you.
The way she went about it caused her to Drive for 50-60 feet down the wrong side of the road and cut me off.
You're farking ridiculous if you think that's the SAFER thing to do. What dumbass driving school did you go to.
Then I also remembered you said "woman", which meant it couldn't be Bachmann, because that would indicate that she's human.
A) Driving in oncoming traffic isn't safe. I know this. But once you are, the course of actions that gets you out of oncoming traffic as quickly as possible without crashing or causing anyone to crash is the safest way to resolve the situation. I didn't think I'd have to explain that one...
B) Who knows if you actually needed to slow down or not. Based on the skills you've displayed here, you're probably one of those people that keeps 5+ second gaps and slams on the brakes at the mere sight of brake lights in front of you. Many people forget that in a situation like yours, she already has the speed advantage and thus you're not really in that bad of a situation.
Ever.
Much safer for everyone than nailing the gas.
I own three cars, this lexus a camaro and a bronco. I'm not a wimpy driver. I fly planes, own a boat and a jetski. I'm a VERY GOOD operator of vehicles. None of them have been in accidents, ever.
I'm done with this lounge bullshit with keyboard cowboys who think they know everything.
Fark you buddy.
Would that make you feel better?

You are the one who keeps changing the story and conveniently leaving out little tidbits. See my response above that you seemed to have skimmed over.
Oh and before you think you are such a vehicle expert, you should probably buy better cars

The other driver consciously chose to drive on the wrong side of the road, at a busy time of day and then cut me off.
The light ahead turned red, I was coming to a stop and was not making any noise when I was mouthing the words "I'm going to report you"
I then sat at the red light that she ran for a good 30 seconds. I then got on the highway normally, and drove normal speeds for a Friday afternoon. I had my camera ready to go incase I saw her.
About 1-2 mins later I did see her in the slow lane. I was in the middle lane. I got ready and slowed down just a hair pressed the camera button and sped back up.
I said I DIDN'T want to SLOW DOWN and get behind her because that would have held up my lane.
Conclusion: you are a keyboard cowboy who makes assumptions and can't 100% comprehend a story.
I'm sorry officer, I didn't know that speeding is illegal. I thought it's a suggested speed

How am I being a douchebag?
facts:
I SLOWED DOWN AND LET HER COME OVER.
I DID NOT run the red light and harass her.
I DID NOT speed to catch up to her
I WAS going home - taking the same route she was.
I saw her car WAY up ahead and without taking my eyes off the road launched my camera mode.
I snapped a pic without even looking at the phone screen. I just aimed and pushed the take picture button.
If anyone is a douchebag it's you and these other 2 people who like to make things up out of thin air. Get a life.
