I was driving up to San Francisco this afternoon and 3 cars tore by me: a red Trans-am, grey Acura TL, and grey Nissan Maxima. They were obviously racing one another, so I kept back since these idiots either 1) had too much testosterone clouding their judgment or 2) had too much road rage. Those idiots kept weaving back and forth in medium traffic, and I thought to myself that they’re either going to get into an accident or cause someone else to get into an accident.

I see the Trans-am make a really quick lane change, and by the looks of it he over-corrected and then spun out of control, literally spinning across the entire freeway on 880N before the San Mateo Bridge exit. I thought it was totally going to be a messy multi-car collision, as everyone’s brake lights lit up and traffic came to a stop. Miraculously, he didn’t hit a single car, and he then floored it and sped off. Freaks. I called 911 to report the f*cktards, but hopefully someone closer to them actually got plates and called them in.

I think all guys go through some phase where they feel the need for speed on public roads (myself included). Thankfully I had an outlet & spent time doing track days @ Sears Point and Thunderhill a few years back. It got really expensive, though, so it was great while it lasted. At least I can still go to a go-kart ring and get my racing itch taken care of in a safe environment!

What worries the most when I see street racing is not the ones doing the speeding, but rather the other drivers around. If you spook the wrong person, he/she might slam on the brakes or do something else really dramatic and cause a chain reaction with the surrounding traffic. :\
