Those that drive in New Haven will know the bane of driving their. Riced out usualy pretty junk Civic's that pass you in the gutter almost causing all sorts of accidents. At stop lights they can usualy be seen blasting up the line of stopped cars, inch's from them.
The best course of action with these morons is to leave a wide gap, and let the cops who 9 times out of 10 ignore them, deal with them.
Well anyway today as I was coming home from class in pleasent down town New Haven, their was a fairly new Civic doing just that. At this particular light their is a van that is always parked on the side selling flowers so the room to do the gutter pass is limited. The SOP for these guys is to inch up, floor it, and get in front of you.
On a lark I decided you know what not this time, so when the light turned green I floored it, and my reaction time was quite a bit better than his. Since I got a jump on him and I stayed just barely ahead until he gave up and merged.
At the next light I got the thumbs up from the Magnum that was behind me.
