    For those of you that have had the privelege of getting smoked out by these modified diesels, you're going to love this.

    On my way to work this morning I am stopped at a stop light in the right lane. A diesel truck pulls up to the stoplight on my left and I hear him spooling his turbos, so I rolled up my windows for what is about to come. The light turns and I am bathed in a cloud of deep black smoke, but when the smoke cleared, I saw that this idiot was bitch slapped by a dose of karma. He was obvioulsy paying attention to only me and the black cloud that he was vailing over me, because he failed to notice the flatbed semi that had turned into his lane while we were stopped at the light. He hit at what I would estimate to be 50 mph, and never hit the brakes.

    I decided to wait for the police to arrive, in a nearby parking lot, along with the soccer mom that was behind me at the light so that we could do our civic duty in being witnesses to this idiot's act and to make sure that he couldn't say the semi cut him off. We laughed as he screamed obsenities to any onlooker that showed interest, and proceeded to kick the remaining side panels of his truck. Once the police arrived, and he was hauled off in an ambulance, the officer let me take a quick picture of the aftermath.

    I can't get the pic to show on the thread, so I have included the link.

    The pickup truck drivers have a huge weakness for prius. I recently passed a slow poke driver (in no passing zone; he probably did that for a purpose) and he got so enraged he chased me with lights flashing, sounding horn and flipping birds. I flipped him too and took his picture in case something bad would happen. Some old retired prick going to a doctor's office, BTW, seeing where he eventually went. Some people are down right nuts.

    I like the story, but 50 mph from a stop to the middle of the intersection ?
    I also wonder how you saw things so well inside a cloud of soot.

    ^^ It sounded to me that the collision was not in the middle of the intersection, but a ways beyond it. The flatbed turned on from a side direction while OP and PU were stopped for the traffic light.

    Really?! A 318px image? Come on now, I am sure you aren't using a phone from 1999. Lets see a 16MP image!

    Glad he got what he deserved.

    So some new poster, who drives a Prius Toyota never made*, tells a tale using a photograph from a different accident.

    A) Troll adding hate to a world with insufficient hate to suit him?
    B) Attention seeking loser?
    C) Sociology student who does not understand image search?
    D) Pickup owner outraged that we don't spend time worrying about pickups?

    * Toyota introduced the persona in 2013

    The truck pictured isn't even a diesel. That is a half ton Chevrolet truck.

    Onager found the photo source -- good for him.
    At least in Chrome, I can 'search' for a photo by right-clicking on the photo.

    Trolling is just not as much fun anymore with Google taking away our rights. Or something :p

    This thread is closed. It's quite possible the OP was attempting to bait Prius owners into saying stupid things about rolling coal just so they can link to this thread as proof that Prius owners are a bunch of haters.

    Here are some tips:
    - Before posting about a posted picture, use this: Google Images to search the web for the image.
    - Resist all temptations to post negative or insulting comments. Nothing good could ever come of that.
    - If you have any doubts about any stories or information, please report the post and we will investigate.
