Some of them are just plain scary :lol:
Saw a BMW sports car on the opposite side of the highway doing donuts on the highway yesterday. Thought it was going to jump the median. Was close enough for me to get on the brakes.
The situation involved a sweeper curve with an on-ramp at the start and an emergency turn around at the end. I first though the car was attempting to take the turn around at speed because it was sideways and real "animated" but it didn't take long to realize it aimed at me.
The thing came to a stop mostly on the left shoulder just as I went by... Female driver. Not another car near her and she's real lucky because the flow was heavy with people hauling campers and boats back from a weekend up North. Could have been a real mess.
I think she must have merged onto the highway and was slamming thru the gears around that curve... Until she hit reverse? There was a shitload of tire smoke and I've never seen a huge cloud of smoke like that from simply locking up the tires.
Did see a lot of brake lights in my mirror after I went past, they may have creamed her for all I know, but I wasn't sticking around to find out :rofl:
