Street Racers-Louisiana Style

[Rail Runner offline]

Well, this oughta be interesting.....Last night my friend Johnathan and I were going eat at IHOP, well as we are driving down Johnston Street, which is a major street here in Lafayette...two guys on sport bikes come flying by us, nearly hitting us, and other cars that were in the area. A car in the left lane tried to move out of the way, but they sped by him so fast that it scared him, and he nearly lost control. We are approaching a redlight, so the bikers smartly*sarcasm* slam on their brakes and nearly nosedive over their own bikes...then when the light turns green, regardless of turning traffic, these geniuses*sarcasm once again* decide that they are going to do the same thing again, they take off so fast that they go plaid*spaceballs reference* nearly hitting 4 other cars while doing so, causing them to swerve wildly to avoid an accident. It wouldnt have done us any good to call the police, because it would take them 20 minutes just to get there in the first place...oh im sorry, all of the cops are eating at either The Waffle House, Mel's Diner, or IHOP, so 45 minutes..my bad. Not only that, but these bikes had no visible plates to speak of, so even if my buddy and I had wanted to call the police*see above reference* we couldnt give them plate numbers anyway. Honestly, I think my buddy and I are lucky to be here right now...those bikers caused almost 4 cars to hit my friends van, but they dont care do they? Sorry for the long rant but people are so stupid sometimes.

Why are you sorry for the long rant? That's what Star Way (admin) prefers.

Wow! A similar thing happened to me, except there were 25 of them, and they were on motorcycles, and they were going over 90 mph...

Wow...2 was bad enough for us..but 25..that would have been almost certain destruction of vehicles at that point. our roads are kinda small width wise, so just to clarify, there was like an inch of space between johns van in the right hand lane, and a car in the lefthand lane, they barely made it through.
