‘Instant, perfect justice’: 10+ Drivers who discovered their actions had consequences – FAIL Blog

Watching a reckless driver get pulled over is such a sweet victory for everyone else on the road. 

We let teens start driving at the age of 16, and parents love to joke to everyone else that they should “get off the road!” Some of these kids are very responsible drivers who grip that steering wheel at 10 and 2, always check their rearview mirrors, and obey every traffic law to a T. Others aren’t very good drivers at all! And some are intentionally reckless. They’re the ones whipping donuts in mall parking lots at 3 AM, driving 110 in a 45 MPH zone, or constantly “forgetting” to buckle their seatbelts. 

Some teens grow out of their childish ways and into responsible adult drivers, who look back on their teenage antics with embarrassment. But others, as you can read below, just never grow up. 

For some people, their car is the ultimate flex, and they spend a lot of time and money making it fast, sleek, and (as they believe) enviable to everyone around them. This kind of person thinks that everyone else wants their car, and is watching them zip down the road with their jaws on the floor. In reality, most people just don’t really care, but that’s never stopped a car bro from challenging another car at a red light to a race. The car bro starts revving louder and louder, trying to goad someone else into racing. 

I shouldn’t have to tell you why racing on public streets is a bad idea! I had friends in high school who loved racing cars, and you know what they did? They went to a designated closed-course racing track where they could burn rubber to their hearts’ content. There were waivers signed, safety restrictions, age limits, and so on. It was quite safe, and everyone went home happy. There’s no need to endanger everyone around you so you can race some unwilling rando, when instead, you could find a community of car-lovers who will gleefully do that with you on a safe course. 

These drivers had their own “mess around and find out” moments! Their outrageous driving proclivities were quickly met with those red and blue flashing lights. Coppers are everywhere, and as some people shared, sometimes they even like to lurk around in their undercover vehicles, just waiting for moments like this.
