Have you ever been cut in front of by someone who then immediately
slammed on the brakes?
I have. Hint, the word "immediate" implies there is not enough time.
The ****er who did it to me overtook me at about 103km/h when I was
doing 100km/h (by the calibration of my speedo) in a 100km/h. He then
pulled in, in front of me, a tad close, not missing my car by very
much. Within a second, he then spotted the police radar, and slammed
on the brakes down to 90km/h.
I wonder whether police record the use of horns around their radar
traps and have noticed how they're not being very effective at
catching the idiots that don't show up on their radar display?
