I hate kid drivers - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

calidus · 07-16-2014, 01:42 PM

So I went out to dinner with a date, as I am leaving this kids decide to be jackasses. I am pulling out(haha insert joke here) of the restaurants parking lot making a right onto a 4 lane 45mph road. I have about 50ft to merge into the left hand lane, because the right ends. I am think ok whatever, minivan zips by I make the lane switch I have plenty of room 100ft between the minivan the a 90s cadillac with some kids driving. I am taking in nice and slow, am about to shift out of 1st and the kid starts accelerating he pushes it up at least 60mph, so how I have wonderful choice between stomping on the gas and getting rear ended. So am stomping the gas and take it <6k rpms and freaking out my date, so I don't' get hit by these idiot kids. Then latter at a stop light they roll past with a big grins on there face and are laughing.

Date got freaked out at a 6Krpm 1st gear pull?
Kick her to the curb quick!

I wouldn't have sped up for them. If anything I would've slowed down and make them go around me.

They did it to get a reaction out of you and you reacted just like they wanted. You say it was a 4 lane road so why not just change lanes and let them pass on your right or just maintain speed as they would then have the choice to either hit you or pass on your left? Kids may be stupid and irresponsible, but I doubt many would intentionally cause an accident. . .especially a rear-end one where they would be at fault.

It was going from a 4 lane to a 3 lane. I had to merge left and did.

Then they sped up on purpose to scare you because they didn't like the fact that you're in a nice car and merged in front of them. Typical high school kid behavior. I would have just maintained speed or accelerated up to the speed limit and left it at that. Just another reason why I have a dash cam and can easily spin it around to face the rear. I've had a couple idiot drivers who stop their antics once I point to the cam and they see that they're being recorded.

I don't get your date "freaking out" over acceleration in a average powered car. Are you guys older?

Nope in our mid 20s. She isn't terribly comfortable when I do anything fun in the car. She claims I scared the crap out of her, and did kinda squeal. I think the not giving her a warning part is what did it. She drives her kia rio like she is 70.

Speed2th · 07-16-2014, 02:47 PM

maybe she just got an orgasm from your mad power at 6k rpm.

Yea that has to be it! Maybe my right hand was doing other things since it had lots of free time before hitting 6k rpms.

Should've merged in front of them. They would've gotten into the left line. They probably were smiling because they thought you were showing out for them.

Kids are idiots, but fairly predictable. They just wanted to show out for the cool car.

Haha, yea thats stark contrast from my wife. The E30 track car in my sig is hers and we have a spare motor for it in the garage with a turbo setup being fabricated for it, she actually bought me my exhaust for the BRZ the first week I had it because it was "too quiet".

Just need to teach your date to have some fun in cars
