Pa "my min1"....

After cutting in front of me earlier this morning, few minutes later, the driver of "MY MIN1" decided to cut off a semi just inches in front of it. One of the most stupidest maneuvers I have seen a very long time. Bonus points to the driver of that semi for successfully avoiding not mushing that MINI down flat into the pavement.

I am quite sure that MY MIN1's luck is going to run out soon. I hope that they don't take out anyone else while they are at it.

Sounds like it might be the poster who was ranting about "bad drivers" when he was the one causing the problems.

Thankfully, by that time I far enough way from MY MIN1 and that semi, when this occurred. I certainly would not want to become MY MIN1's collateral damage.

It was a pretty sobering thing to witness, however. It really makes you think about "a MINI vs. a semi" major accident, and who would loose.

Intersection of Rt309 and Rt22 in PA.

Yea, I see the website attempted to "help" me by changing PA to Pa in the subject.

That's what I've thought. I have seen that vehicle on the road and at some MINI runs, I will definitely stay away from them if I see them on the road. Scary inexcusable actions.
