ok so today I was just heading home after picking up a friend who was also just finding out about a shit ton of fraud has been happening in his name and also his too be wife's name. that all aside I was driving along minding my own business when I seen this dumb bitch just fucking pulling out not even looking in my direction.  Me being quick on my toes slam on the brakes basically braking the tires from the contact to the pavement allowing me to start sliding.  I slam the gas and drift around her car as I reached about half way she looks at my car and slams on the gas.  I'm assuming it's because she's a dumb bitch and cant drive worth shit.  so at this point I'm thinking Fuck this dumb bitch is going to hit my car so I cut the wheel in just the perfect way that my tail end whips around  her car just missing it by inches.  I basically drive away feeling like...

while I see a lot of other peoples faces looking like...

also my friend in the passenger seat was like so stoked I avoided the whole thing because would have been on the receiving end of the worst possible pain.  He was sitting right where the car would have done the worst amount of damage.

Also super glad there was no one in the other lain be cause a T-bone could have easily turned into a 3 car pile up with my car in the middle of it all. 




I dont think my story really tops some other peoples stories but I think its worthy of a good read...

I was riding my motorcycle down a curvy road and a rock fell right in front of me.
I was riding in the rain and I was riding to close to this guy and he slammed on his brakes so I had to on the double yellow between him and an oncoming car.

My mom got her car tires rotated by some shitty fuckin car shop and i they didn't tighten the lug nuts. Anyway i took it on a road trip to southern utah and the car starts to vibrate. I thought it was just warped disks cause my mom is bad about breaking. Then 15 feet before a bridge over the colorado river the front left wheel comes off while driving at 40mph. I was able to pull the car over, but if it had been on the bridge we would have gone off into the river.

sketch.


found the wheel and bought new lug nuts and fixed it myself claim.

The roads were really icy and my tires were completely bald, my tire hit a gravel patch or a dry spot on the road and I fish tailed doing a 270 into the other lane, my back end was stuck in the snow bank with my front end halfway out into the opposite lane. luckily no cars were coming or i would have been boned.

That was a scary winter.

this one time on a wet day, my tires started spinning out in the middle of the intersection












but then I changed gears and they gripped again, it was close man.

The first week i had my license, I was driving through town behind a bus, when the bus stopped. The double yellow line turned into one of those 10ft wide striped meridians, so I though "fuck it I'll just pass the bus there "

I go out to pass, when the bus starts moving. Theres a split second where i have to make the decision to brake, and fall in behind the bus, or accelerate and pull ahead. Being the stupid novice driver, I mashed the gas and my 4 cylinder civic slowly began pulling ahead of the bus.

At this point i ran out of meridian and was in the opposite lane with traffic coming, and i managed to swerve in front of the bus at the last second, avoiding a head on collision. Last time I ever pass a stopped bus.

same shit happened to me back in 2010...  I was driving to work super early in the morning there was about a foot or more on the roads was driving at roughly 100km/h (60m/h) car started to fishtail cause I must have hit the side of the groove of snow where everyone had been driving and the worst part was there was someone in the other lane heading straight for me, last minute I managed to swerve out of the way of the oncoming truck and ended up in the ditch with no damage to be done... but I could have been boned hard if I didn't manage to swing the ass end of my vehicle out of the way in the nick of time.

Crazy adrenaline rushes you get when shit like that happens.

when i was young and dumb i was racing a gsx down a 4 lane one way road in the middle of rush hour traffic. suddenly a lady in a mini-van goes to cross the 4 lane road without realizing that two cars are rushing at her at probably close to 80-100 mph. (she's crossing from the right side of the road to the left.) i'm in the middle right lane, the gsx is in the middle left lane. she pulls out in front of us and there's no way we're going to slow down in time...i look left and see that all four of his tires are locked up and he's just sliding straight towards her. i cut to the far right lane in hopes that she's going to at least clear one lane of traffic before things get ugly...the gsx follows my lead and takes my position in the middle right lane. i'm 2 inches from the right curb...the gsx's mirrors are 2 inches from my driver's side, and his driver's side mirror is 2 inches from the back of her bumper. somehow we managed to squeeze through behind her thus avoiding a t-bone collision at high speeds.

as soon as it happened, the guy that i'm racing and i look at each other like holy fucking shit...that was close!!! biggest adrenaline rush of my life....my hands were shaking soooo fucking bad. we then head straight for the state lines as the cops were most certainly notified by someone as we're in rush hour traffic. dip outta the state so as to avoid a trip to jail.

now save your breath, i know it was fucking stupid, reckless, idiotic, unsafe, and much much more. i was young, dumb, and thought i was invincible. it was a good reality check. no more street racing for this guy.

another close call was when i was driving in a snow storm one a four land road with two lanes of traffic going each direction. there was a nice S bend in the road in which i managed to lose traction, and my car starts to spin. once again rush hour traffic. somehow i manage to keep the car on the right side of the road, spin a complete 360, and drive off like a fucking boss without hitting anything or anyone.

some dumb bitch cut me and my bro off while we were on our way to the mountain. In retaliation we drove a bit ahead of her in the lane beside her and I threw a banana peel out the window and it flew back and hit her windshield. I will remember her face always

driving with my dad on the way up to the hill, my dad drives nearly double the speed limit the entire way, he starts pulling around a corner in our truck with balded tires, not in 4x4, and hauling ass, roughly 160km I think. He hits a patch of ice. entire box of the truck swings into the oncoming lane. Being the man that he is, he grunts out, "hold on" and punches the gas, continuing to drift a raised f250 around a corner.

My Dad's a fucking boss.

Was 3 cars behind my buddy when a deer jumped out in the road while he was going around a corner at about 50 mph (he was speeding, limit was 35) and he swerved off the road and hit a telephone pole, this was his truck. This may not have happened to me since i was not speeding, but you never know.

Was racing somebody today, going about 190km/h, around a very long corner, started to slip out and started to fishtail, slowed down and straightened out just in time as the guy I was racing passed me. He looked at me like "holy fuck that was close" and waved. I think I'm gonna go slow around Anything not a highway and not straight now.

Yes. spent 2 months in another land in the ICU, still has shards of glass in his stomach and lungs the doctors couldnt get out. He was on life support for the first 2 weeks i think. He hit his one year mark about a week ago. Pretty amazing.

I was on the way home from the hill, driving about 35-40 mph on slush covered roads (typical mn snow= insta-ice) plus bald tires. So naturally I start sliding, fishtailing, faster and faster, finally go in the ditch pry doing 50 at this point, touch a tree enough to start spinning, do a 180 over a driveway(I know, sick) and stop in a perfect parallel parked space surrounded by huge trees on 3 sides. Barely any damage. Crash wasn't actually avoided but it was an insane experience, parents bought me new tires after it, and for that we thank you

tha fuck you just say?

I've had a lot of near misses. I used to commute to college which was 30 miles one way. Winter time was always interesting. I've had people spin out in front of me, saw someone try to commit suicide, avoided deer, other cars, the normal shit like that.

Scariest thing ever was when I almost got creamed by a school bus when I was riding snowmobile. It was at night. There was a pretty steep incline onto a road we had to cross and there was no way to see if anything was coming, usually you can take it kinda slow but it was a sheet of ice so you had to haul ass up it and out onto the road. Well low and behold I did that and sure enough into the path of a bus. Mashed the throttle and barely made it across in time. Had to clean my britches after that one.

Was driving home late one night in pouring rain, going about 45 on back roads in my honda pilot (SUV). Deer pops out from the right, I slam on the brakes and pull the wheel hard to the left and then back right. I somehow got the rear wheels to slip out and basically go right around the deer. I was going sideways on this road for about 50 feet. Pulled over, got out, not a single mark.

pulled a 360 in my minivan unintentionally when driving home from school in the snow

inches away from rear ending a Maserati at a stop light at the top of a hill, that you couldn't see when coming up. swerved into the turning lane because i knew i couldn't stop in time. sped through that stop light like a nig.

I used to be a stupid kid. I would sometimes drift/mud my truck around the meadows behind my house. One day I ripped the e brake doing 40-50, I cut it too hard and ended up heading toward a bunch of trees. Somehow I went inbetwen the trees and went up and over an irrigation ditch. Had a buddy tow me out and the only damage was a dent in the door. If I had hit the tree I would have definately been going to the hospital.

last winter i was taking a left that i have to take all the time but it was right at the time of year where snow was collecting. i had been waiting for a while to turn and i saw an opportunity (barely) to go. i accelerated too much through the turn and started fish taililng really hard. i did it like 4 times and narrowly avoided a car in the right lane with a pretty sick recovery actually. fuck it was scary though. another time a semi swereved in and out of my lane while i was right beside the middle of his trailer. fuck that was scary. thought i was done for

One day I was rushing my girlfriend to get back to school. She forgot some stuff she needed and had an appointment in 30 minutes in the opposite direction. So I'm flying down a 2 lane highway in the left lane probably doing about 100 MPH. I was a dumb 17 year old who thought this was a good idea. Anyway as I am flying down the highway she reminds me that the exit is less than 200 yards away. I swerve over barely make the exit, almost running onto the grass where the pavement stops and when I try to head straight down the off ramp I start to lose control of the car and spin down the ramp.

As I am spinning down the ramp I start to go off the road and head up the overpass in the grass. I looked out my window and saw a lightpole and thought I was going to wrap my car around it and die. Mind you I was sliding sideways up a hill at probably 60-70 MPH. I dont know what I did to get the car back on the road but somehow I was back on the offramp before the toll booth going about 30 MPH. My girlfriend said "that was crazy" and I burst out into a nervous laugh that went on for about 10 minutes.

When I got to school, no damage to the car at all, no signs of anything. I couldn't believe I didnt start to roll the car while I was sliding sideways.

i was at this intersection and i had a green light going straight through, and this old lady on a scooter came from the right, making a right hand turn (which was obviously red, and which she obviously didnt have time to pull out and join traffic because i was right there) and we almost collided, and she got mad at me, so i was like "are you fucked?' and drove away.

Couple years back heading to lacrosse game or something and it had rained a shit ton the night before, just cruising down the highway and all of the sudden the car started to hydroplane and spin across all the lanes, luckily it was an early ass game and the roads were dead.

This past June was doing some late skiing and as we were driving through town to the hill some asshole runs a red light and turns left off the highway and was centimeters from t-boning the shit out of the car with people in all 4 seats. The funniest part is the kid who was sitting in the spot where the car would have hit didn't notice the entire incident so we were all just like, "OH MY FUCK!" and he was just chillin listening to beats.

I was sitting at this super backed up light with all these trucks, like real 18 wheeler trucks, where they're all waiting to make a left. And the guy in front of me decided he would roll backwards really far, probably to the point where he couldn't see me behind him. I started hitting the horn rapid fire style and I guess he got it cause he stopped. The truck has a bar with reflectors and whatever that hang from the back, and it was over the front of my hood, so he was a few feet from crushing the hood and windshield with it. And I couldn't go in reverse cause there was another truck behind me.

Riding my motorcycle to school a couple months ago and a car pulled out in front of me when I was speeding. There were cars all around me so I had nowhere to go. Locked up my brakes and almost went down. Luckily I took the MSF course and knew what to do. Easily would have slammed into the back of the car and thrown in front of traffic if I didn't know what to do.

What type of dipshit would drive with it in 4x4 on a dry road though?

If you'd said 100 km/h it may have been believable. 160, fuck off and tell your dad to fuck off if he's actually driving like that.
