22: Hummer Ends Up Wrecked
Speaking of tailgating and angry drivers, another Reddit user had an interesting story as well. The driver of a Hummer, which is a huge vehicle. Was tailgating for a good period the smart thing to do? Not in this case. “After about 5 seconds of being 2 feet from my bumper, he decides to change lanes and floor it in an attempt to cover the last 20 seconds of ground in the 10 seconds left. About 200 feet short of the intersection the light turns red and the moron finally decides it would be a good time to start slowing down. He slid through the red light, clipped the rear end of a tractor-trailer, and took out the traffic light at the far end of the intersection.” – via Some eCards

You can see that things didn’t turn out too well for the driver of this Hummer. Even for a vehicle with a massive curb weight hitting a pole or a stoplight can be detrimental. This driver definitely should have taken the time to cool off. Road Rage affects thousands of drivers each day and most traffic accidents are caused due to some sort of road rage.
