I had juuuuuuuust made it into the no-more-than 5-inch gap and pressed on through to the now empty next lane to narrowly make the exit. Needless to say in this situation, my lack of horsepower almost had my ex-girlfriend, "Tigre," and I, smashed between two semis — all because we simply wanted to exit the highway.
Douchebag racing driver (seriously, he's a professional NASCAR driver) isn't paying attention, notices he's about to miss his exit, swerves across multiple lanes and narrowly misses getting creamed between two trucks instead of continuing on to the next exit and turning around. Good god, no wonder his girlfriend (the passenger and owner of the car) dumped him. Then he writes about it as an example of how it's dangerous cars don't have enough horsepower.
I've never driven a car with more than 130 HP, but somehow I've managed not to get myself turned into toothpaste.
It's just one more example of how the vast majority of people nowadays are unable to assume personal responsibility for their own actions.
Whenever there is a problem, it is always the fault of another person, or a car, or an appliance, or an animal, or...anything other than the immature person who actually caused the situation to take place.
What a dumb---. People in general don't know how to plan or drive.
I wish I could log on and reply to the article, but I don't have any of those account profiles.
I failed to realize that I was also being tailgated by a huge white van.
Someone needs to take the drivers license out his wallet and burn it on the trunk lid of a vehicle he's driving. He'll never know it was burned because he won't see it.
Too bad this happens more often than not on I95. It's rare not to see someone who is driving in the left lane wait to the last moment and swerve over to the right exit ramp. Most of time its been these small pocket cars. In numerous years of driving I've seen two that were crushed beyond recognition near exit ramps. OTOH I've seen cars with high HP have one car accidents taking a curve to fast or being a "harvy wall banger". Its years of experience of driving in multiple situations that makes the difference and not simply HP.
My fiiirst car was a 1974 Toyota Corolla 1200. It taught me how to plan ahead when I needed to enter or exit the Interstate or pass on a country road because it definitely did NOT have an excess of Horsepower!

LOL! I hear you, my first car was a 1970 Opel Kadett Wagon with the 1.1 liter engine. If you wanted to go over 65 MPH you had to drive off a cliff. As for the Idiot in the article, I find it hard to fathom how anyone so stupid could be allowed to drive (but see ones like him every day almost.)
