Rainy evening, rush hour traffic on the 101 in N. Calif. on my way home from class, this guy in a "borrowed" caddy zooms in passing on both sides of traffic, plows into the car in front of me (breaking my 3 sec space--bastard!), which winds up plowing into the car in front. I had either to drive off the road & probably tumble, plow into the car to my left in the fast lane, or just slam on my breaks and hope--oh well ...I now understand how salami feels in a sandwich. Oh, the guy had a suspended license, was driving an ex-girlfriend's unregistered, uninsured car (also stolen apparently)--he was led off, I got a tow, but my heart really went out for the person up at the head of the line--she was driving her brand new car home from the dealership! At least mine was over 10 years & over 100k miles old.
