You are *not* Speed Racer!

One from last night...

I took the MG out for a quick blast down Route 51 after work. I usually head south towards the I-70 interchange, turn around, and head home. Usually at night, traffic is light, and a 55-60mph cruise is possible. Since I'm not about to get nailed for speeding, I don't bother trying to keep up with traffic...

Occasionally though, I get some asshole who doesn't think that I'm going fast enough, and insists on roaring past me at 90mph. Did I mention the speed traps? Anyway, this guy, in some shitbox Honda, was one of them. Somewhere near Perryopolis, he'd had enough. Not only did he start with the horn, but he passed me...flipping me off in the process. Why he felt that necessary, since the speed limit is 45-50 most of the way, I don't know

Karma proved to be a royal bitch. Anyone want to guess who got nailed near Elizabeth? As I came around the last curve before the bridge, it seems that he'd been doing 90mph into a little trap that the state police had set up. Truly made my night

And that's why I call people like this "bear bait."

Yay! Cause, effect, the world is made right.

I call 'em rabbits. They're like the rabbit decoy they use at dog races.

I like to let them get a nice fat lead, so that any cops spot them first and go after them, and then follow at what is a relatively more reasonable speed.

I use the term "radar probe." Better them than me.

[teh_blumchenkinder]

meh. I just call them idiots.

[Moirae]

lol. Excellent.

I spotted two of these morons last night on the way home from Disneyland. The first was on the 5, and I wouldn't have noticed him because he wasn't really going all that fast. But since he was weaving in and out of traffic as if he were in some rally, he really stood out. And wasn't getting anywhere, either. We took the car pool exchange to the 91, and he took the regular traffic exchange, and we got to watch his antics for another five miles.

The other one was just fast. Really fast. Way too fast for traffic conditions, that's for sure. And still not getting very far because there were a lot of people on the road. I mean the limit is 65 and most people on the 91 tend to go somewhere between 70 & 80, so it's not like everybody else was being slow.
