Ran off the road - #1 Car Club In Kitchener - Waterloo - Cambridge

**Sleeperhold** · 06-30-2005, 02:53 PM

I was ran off of HWY 8 the other day by a dumb ass on a cell. Put me right into the gravel at 120km. Scariest ride I have been on in a while car nearly went sideways twice and the bridge was coming up. The horn blaring and he didn't even flinch, just kept coming over. Traffic behind me no where else to go. When I got back on the road I caught up to him and he was still on the phone totally oblvious to what happened, even after I honked and gave him a singal didgit salute he still looked like he had no clue.

So quick Poll and be honest.

**webz** · 06-30-2005, 02:58 PM

wow man that's really rough
you and car ok?

for a quick conversation i will, anything longer i'll pull off
the road is always #1 focus though

**Sleeperhold** · 06-30-2005, 03:06 PM

Ya car got a couple new chip and pits from the rocks and a small hole in the exhaust. As for me besides being so freakin pissed that I didn't notice the coffee that was once full was now empty rolling around on the floor, I am good.

**lamb** · 06-30-2005, 03:09 PM

That's horrible. I'm glad that you're okay though. So scary.

**Timberland** · 06-30-2005, 03:09 PM

So, did you follow him and find out what was so important on the phone that was worth risking your life over?

**Sleeperhold** · 06-30-2005, 03:13 PM

No man I was on my way to work. Can't afford to be late.

**SnowGti2003** · 06-30-2005, 03:13 PM

I don't even drink ( water / etc not booze ) and drive, let alone use a cell phone.

I got hit by a women in an Isuzu on a cell phone 4 years ago. yeah that sucked.

**rough** · 06-30-2005, 03:28 PM

shoulda taken the plate # and called the police. it'd be on record that they have a complaint for reckless driving.

**TurboTeg** · 06-30-2005, 07:05 PM

yeah rough.. he might do that... if he was a NARC

You should have got his licence plate, and called the OPP.......tell them what happened.......people like that shouldn't be on the road, that and those damn soccar mom's. As long as your ok, and nothing is damaged on the car. YOu now know what to do in that situation........just drive nice and smooth on the gravel, no quick movements

**93lowbird** · 07-02-2005, 12:48 AM

thats right, copy his plate number down while driving

....umm seems worse than talking on a cell phone to me.

might as well call the police while driving behind him too.

I do know what to do in those situations. I have had the privlage of attending Mosport offensive driving courses as well as Shannonvile. Part of an agreement with my dad when I was younger. This way I was allowed to take his 71 Datsun 240z out.

**Subersxy** · 07-02-2005, 01:37 PM

yeah i'm not a huge fan of talking on the phone while driving either, but i';ll admit i'll do it once in a while for sure

n- e ways glad ur okay tho

**SexyCeli** · 07-02-2005, 06:19 PM

i'll be straight up and say im on the phone probably 75% of the time i'm driving. i haven't had problems because i can do two things at once.. i guess others aren't as fortunate :tounge:

but nah.. im concentrating on the road and whats around me even when i am on the phone... so im good

**alexey** · 07-02-2005, 06:42 PM

yea im on the phone alot while driving... unless someone's got a better way for me to holla at girls while driving i'll keep talking on the cell :tounge:

**Knaws** · 07-02-2005, 07:17 PM

Lol, it will go great along with my 007 music in my disk changer :tounge:

**djdnz** · 07-02-2005, 11:59 PM

Not again...

My opinion is, if you're driving a manual car and able to talk on the cell phone then its usually fine - as the only time that's really easy is when youre on a highway or something. But in the city, FAWK off and call them when you get wherever you're going.

And no offence, but its usually the women talking on cell phones that have no regard for other drivers when they're in their own little world...

**Duro5341** · 07-03-2005, 12:03 AM

^^^^^^^AMEN.........
get those damn soccar mom's off the road, they can barely drive those Minivan's as it is, let alone wi
