Sounds like she panicked and is an unsafe driver.
If her story is true, then the other guy might be a hot head.
Do those tips include the tips of her fingers?
Wow, she crashed so hard she broke her seatbelt.< /s >
Years ago we were attacked in a road rage incident. We had a baby in the car, and this guy (who was mad at us I think for traveling too slowly) sped up, pulled in front of us, and backed into us, stopping and screeching his brakes, all at high speed.
He did it several times. This was on a major thoroughfare with a lot of witnesses. We did nothing to make him that mad. I’ll never forget it.
IMHO, this guy is probably not with us today. People that get that angry and are that reckless on the road end up out of the gene pool. I just hope he didn’t take anyone else with him.
It usually takes two to road rage. She likely wasn’t brake-jacked for no reason.
Sounds like she had her hand out the window, rolled and that caused the amputation. Hard to say. The story is lacking in details.
BS stories always have the bad guy driving away in a black car.
I'm just sayin.
I had a couple of instances in dealing wit buffoons on the road. One time back in 1985 and back in the 55 mph days, I was traveling through Southern Ohio on a 4 lane divided highway, I came up behind a left lane bandit. You had cars in the right lane doing 50 or 55. When an open came up, the LLB would not move over and when there was an opening in the right lane, I try to pass him and he would speed up and I would be doing 65 or 70 until I encounter a car in the right lane. I then go back to the left lane and he would drop the speed back to 55. After trying to pass several times, I was finally able to get around him and he started blink his lights and honk horns and was pointing to his dash.
Antoerh instance was recently in California. There were dual left turn lanes to get to the on-ramp for the interstate. In the right lane was a truck and in the left was a vehicle like a Suzuki Sidekick. As soon as the light turned green, the truck took off at a good speed, not typical of work trucks. The Sidekick which had an older woman inside took off and drove very slowly on the turn. I thought, she is going to merge onto the highway so slowly so I went into the right lane and passed her then she speeded up and look in the mirror, I got shaking fist and a middle digit. Looking bac in the mirror, she was going onto the highway pretty slowly. I usually like to be going 70 mph when I merge on.
A few years ago, on my way home from work (night-shift) .. I had some azzhat tail-gating me on the interstate.
I’d speed up and so would he.
I’d change lanes and so would he.
I finally got pi$$ed to the point that after the 4th or 5th time of speeding up and having this guy on my a$$ .. I slammed on the brakes!
Luckily .. The azzhat behind me knew how to drive .. He was a ‘cop’! 8(
Such incidents aren’t worth the drama and are best avoided, even if it means stopping or taking a detour.
A friend of mine was tailgated by a psycho on the highway. He couldn’t drive fast enough to shake the nut, so he kept his pace until he saw a large truck muffler lying in his lane straight ahead. My friend sped up even more and stayed in his lane until the last possible second before jumping into the next lane. As he looked through the rear view mirror, he noted with satisfaction the guy’s eyes and contorted expression and torrents of sparks spewing from under his car as it wobbled and ground to a rapid halt.
Not much info but one detail is highly pertinent. The lady was ejected from her vehicle. Can’t happen unless you’re not wearing a seat belt. Leads me to conclude she’s a careless driver and there’s probably a lot to this tale unsaid. >PS
