Well now folks, this isn't exactly a smoke story, but it does have to do with people who think they have fast trucks and have a habit of throwing their weight around. Sound like anyone here?
My other vehicle happens to be a modified Corvette and every now and then some fool in a van or truck is riding up my fiberglass *ss, even though I tend to push the speed limits a bit. :-laf
So I have my own little way of dealing with such people, which you all just might find interesting.
I just maintain my modestly-above-the-speed-limit rate of travel into a fairly tight turn. My car shows no body roll and appears to take the turn with no particular trouble. Mr. I've-gotta-prove-something doesn't realize he's in trouble until his 6,000 lb sport truck's front end is understeering into the on coming lane.
Hey, it's not my job to nursemaid someone through a turn.
Being the reasonable chap that I am, I don't do this where there's on coming traffic (I don't involve innocent third parties) or take it to the point where the jerk isn't going to make it through the turn. But then no one has been quite so deserving as some folks here seem to be.
Think you're too smart to fall for this stunt? Mix a little attitude and road rage together and you'd be amazed at how quickly people lose their sense of judgement. And there seems to be plenty of the former in evidence in this very popular topic.
Which is not likely to change. So just remember that a fast, heavy vehicle can get you into trouble, but it can't get you out.
