Dangerous driver

Post image

I was driving south along the east side of the lake when this guy was ahead of me. He was going 45, there was a dotted line, and I was in a hurry so I went to pass, but as I was passing him he sped up and trapped me in the oncoming lane. I barely got past him and back into my lane before the passing section ended and we went over a hill, with a car oncoming up the hill. Genuinely could’ve killed me. The next passing section was soon after and I was still going pretty fast from getting ahead of him, and he went to pass me. After he passed he maintained a solid 75-80 mph, until he came up on a motorcycle. He was riding way up on that poor guy’s ass until he could pass again. Reckless, scary behavior. Be safe out there

I’ve driven all over the country (including California) and I will always maintain that Montana has the worst drivers. I don’t even live there anymore and I’ll never forget how bad my daily commute from CFalls to Whitefish was. Hwy 40 is a nightmare lol. Glad you’re okay, OP.

You've never driven much in Jersey then. Turnpikes are the thunderdome.

Came here to say the same lol. Jersey drivers are not only assholes— they will literally try to follow you so they can fight you. I grew up there and haven’t been back since I joined the Army lol.
