Brake-ing ?!

brake_light1.jpgOk someone really has to explain this to me.. someone reading this MUST be one of the people who do this…

You’re driving along the highway, all’s going well.. when suddenly, for no apparent reason, the person in front of you decides they want to hit the brakes.

Right, see, I drive an SUV and so I can see what’s in front of that person.. NOTHING! There is no car in sight. What is it that possess these brake-loving people to just suddenly brake?!

    I don’t know why they do that. I also have an SUV, and I see that they break for nothing. Sometimes its for a speeding cam and at other times.. well, they just break! :/

    LOL hell yes some drivers are straight-up married to CRAZY. I also hate it when they get so close behind me, so what I do is hit the brakes and like wake them up :P

    oh no… the bloody braking for no reason syndrome… a few months ago that caused me a damn accident; girl infront of me on the highway decides to not only step on the brakes, no, she SLAMS them on like it was a life or death situation! What the !? And its obviously my fault for not keeping a “safe distance”. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A SAFE DISTANCE IF SHE DIDNT BRAKE FOR NO BLOODY REASON!

    ok, i had to let that out. i feel better now.

    N.: i can understand it if it’s for a speeding cam.. but when they’re not speeding to begin with?!

    commenter: haha i do the same to those who stick really close! freaks them out enough that they back off!

    Ammar: oh no, sorry to hear that.. that’s exactly what i fear when they do this! if i were you, i woulda grabbed the closest metal object and bludgeoned her with it! did she ever say what made her slam the brakes?

    i’ll tell you why,

    it is either a women who got scared from her speed… or you were too close to the car that wanted to be mean with you.

    I brake when the person behind me is too close to me. Ya3ny u S.O.B:
    -if u don’t wanna drive behind me then do between or something oo fukny!
    -if the lane next to me is going slowly there’s no way in hell I’m gonna move away for you. It’s not like u can go any faster if you’re in front of me

    bint battuta: i can at least understand a roundabout break if they felt that they were losing control over the car in their turn… but a straight highway?

    Judy: i wish.. then i’d understand at least.. i’m talking about people who r NOT speeding.. and i’m not riding their tail.. there is enough distance between them and i..

    as for mr. breakfast, Allah la Ebarek feeh!

    Enigma: yes, i brake when they do that to me too. it’s ANNOYING when they flash their lights at me, and i’m already going above the speed limit and there’s a car to my right so i have NO CHOICE! nowhere to go.. shasawee? a6eer?

    Ammar: you too? I’ve ALWAYS wanted one of those for the people behind me.. and one for those in front of me… man, the fun i would have.

    other times, i wish for an inspector gadget car which has these long steel rods that come out and scratch the cars on either side! ahh… daydreaming is great.
