Large pickup threw Wet Rag at my prius

Just what do you think he made that rag "wet" with????

 

Rolling coal has also become a fad now among the hybrid haters. What morons!

I missed seeing this story...what happened?

 

Yeah, a DIRT BAG threw a wet rag!

That's why I have both front and rear dash cams.

Was it a bully rag?

 

That's his problem. You should always get license plate no.
sounds like someone needs anger management classes..lol
did you get on the freeway in Eco mode or power mode to enter a freeway on-ramp you should always be in power mode and then once you're up to speed then you go to Eco mode.
don't stress it most of them are just jealous and also they believe they own the road and if you're not exactly at the speed they want you to be at they want to tailgate when that happens call 911 but never play into their frustration get away from themThen after you've gotten the license plate and call CHP.

 

You seem to attract people that "don't like Priuses."
You should definitely get the Leaf, or maybe a nice Chevy Volt.


Me?
I'd be glad it was a wet rag.

The OP has already had run-ins with the Chippies.

 

Chances are, we've all experienced the same thing. I mostly drive in EV mode, can't exceed 62 mph. I'm not making apologies, nor change my driving style.

 

Wow, well, you started a thread and treated all of the chat like ? children, your story is ending, we missed the beginning, and then you back up and explain why.
You're going 5mph below the speed limit on an on ramp, and someone threw something toward you. Said the boy that cried FIRE

So possibly you're an "author" mining the chat with nuggets of gold to like minded "authors", btw, it's prii.

 

My 2000 Insight is treated like a Prius by many drivers. When in the early days I sped a bit. When I'm going the speed limit. And when I go significantly under the speed limit. With all the hypermiling I've done, Troy Heagy talks as if he gets more harassment than myself, Wayne Gerdes, and maybe a few more hypermilers combined. Why is that? I don't have to say anymore on this thread.

 

We have this problem here too.

One motorway in particular, the M4, is replete with morons - usually in utes or V8 sedans, or sometimes badly-riced not-Evos or not-STIs. They'll tailgate you, cut dangerously from lane to lane, throw things at you, and engage in other ridiculous, bullying, dangerous behaviour.

And that motorway is full of speed cameras and speed traps. So most of them do all of this within 10% of the speed limit. Many of them, I notice, drive aggressively and stupidly, but get to their destination at the same time that I do.

So they don't get in trouble. A speed trap doesn't see aggressive driving, or tailgating, or things getting thrown, or brake-checking, or whatever: it just sees whether you're doing the 110km/h limit or 130km/h. And driving at 110km/h, five feet behind the car in front is way more dangerous than driving at 130km/h on an empty road. But it's the latter that the cops will get you for.

The problem here - and I'm willing to bet that it's the same in America - is that a speed trap is easy. You stick a camera or a radar gun there, and let it do the thinking. A computer shows the numbers, and the evidence is incontrovertible. And they get a nice fine payment out of it.

What's needed is unmarked police cars looking out for dangerous drivers. But that would involve the use of some resources (two cops and a car and some petrol). It would involve the cop having to use his or her judgement to decide what is and what isn't dangerous. It would involve arguments in court. So, much as this sort of driving kills people, the police really can't be bothered to do anything about it.

 

It takes two to tango.

 

I think Troy is full of him/herself and just talking sh...I mean trolling...as some of you like to call it. Knows how to get a bite though.

 

Nah, you can keep TH in your world and away from the Volt

 

you need one of these

1956 Volkswagen Micro Bus 0-60 mph: 75.0 seconds

 

You must be amazingly irritating to be on the road with, given your stories.

 

I see you approaching the ramp as though an egg filled with explosives would break if you used some gas. I see you merging in front of freeway traffic at maybe 39 miles per hour. People probably give you the finger when you leave the interstate, because you've been gliding for three miles and you're down to 39 mph while still on the interstate.

My rough estimate is people do these things to you because your an ahole.
