It works all the time.
If I had been the girfriend in that Corolla, I would have kept driving straight, even risking rear ending the Merc. Much safer than hitting the ditch and rolling. And a sure way to get he Merc's driver's attention...

Can someone change the thread title to "i'm dumb, I don't wear seatbelts" ?
Seriously, Dumb move swerving. That probably causes more problems than rear ending the person in front of you. If they're slamming on the brakes to avoid a child, or a deer, or whatever, you're more likely to hit it by flying around them.
The last time a nimrod in front of me decided to stop suddenly and make a left turn (sans signals, mind you), I simply laid into the brakes, stopped just fine, then tapped the pedal a few times after stopping. The X5 behind me came within 6" of hitting me, and they tried to swerve around me while braking (dumbest move ever, brakes don't work when the wheels are sideways).
I'm glad I have the habit of tapping the pedal to get some attention, or they might have driven right through me.Last edited by u3b3rg33k; 06-20-2010, 04:02 PM.

Just quoting you for the lolz ;-)
Glad you learned something though.

Everything that was done by the OP was wrong. But hey. At least he realized it and that's a first step toward salvation.Brake harder. Go faster. No shit.

Good to know you're alive and well. Probably short-termed sore. But hey, better than be hemiplegic. We all learn from our mistakes...
The Mercedes had criminal behaviour. Karma will catch the driver. If it is a younger driver, most likely he will tell his side of the story on the net thru a car forum, as a kill. That's how you can find the sucker... Meaning you'll find all your proofs there. Google is your friend.
Also, if the incident happened during week days, it was most likely during the Mercedes-Benz's daily commute. Meaning, every day that car will be there at roughly the same time.Brake harder. Go faster. No shit.
