Way to almost cause an accident. Dipshit.

This happened just an hour ago. My dad was driving me home from school. As we're driving along this one looong stretch of road that leads out to our house (I live roughly half an hour's drive from the Colorado National Monument), the car in front of us suddenly slams on its brakes. Naturally, and this is what makes me glad that there were no cars *behind* us, this causes my dad to have to do the same to avoid driving right into this lackwit.

Lackwit then proceeds to drive off the road and into the weeds. As we drive past, we can see him turn around to go back the other way. Now, it should be noted that not more than 20 feet ahead, there were choices of two different cul-de-sacs to pull into to make a safe, legal turn. People who do this sort of thing bug me. Why would you just stop right-smack in the middle of the freakin' road instead of looking for a safer place to pull into so you can turn without potentially causing an accident? x.x

{cue standard mantra} Because they're speshul snowflakes who believe that the world revolves around them. You and your existence inconvenience them. You should realize this, apologize for it, and get the hell out of their way. {/standard mantra}

Crappiest part is that your dad would likely take the hit for rear-ending him, despite the fact that the dimwit made an unsafe maneuver.

Exactly. x.x; This is why I hate people who do this and wish upon them the curse of a thousand rabid sneezing ferrets.

To be fair, if he had rear-ended the lackwit, it would mean he was too close to the other car, or not paying attention. The fact he didn't hit him means your dad was a safe distance back. Well played, dad!
