What Happens When Bad Drivers Get Instant Karma

One-Two Punch

Driving through central Nevada on a 2 lane highway, leaving Beatty, I was taking a sweeping right hand turn, when a new-ish Camaro with a very distinctive set of stickers on the rear window passed on the left (after crossing a double yellow line)

And (1) nearly was involved in a head-on collision with a semi coming the opposite direction and (2) nearly collided with the front of my car when he swerved back into my lane.

In that part of Nevada the towns are roughly 60 miles apart. The next town is Goldfield, a notorious speed trap. About 5 miles outside (south) of Goldfield, lo and behold, the Camaro is pulled over. (Thank you NHP).

About a half mile after I passed them, the NHP officer was apparently done giving them their speeding ticket. Camaro was clearly mad, and, once he was far enough away, he really took off, and in about 5 miles made up at least half or 3/4 of a mile (and I was doing about 80).

Again, he crossed the double yellow line and passed me on a blind corner. When he passed me, and was swerving to avoid another high speed head on collision for another illegal pass, he apparently missed the fact that the speed limit dropped from 75 to 25 in about a quarter mile.

County cop was sitting just past the 25 mph sign with a radar gun, and nailed him going at least 80 in a 25. Story credit: Reddit / seaburno
