Nice job of passing me and my 919 doing 50 in a 35 mph zone near Fife and over the double yellow lines, prick. You shouldn't be wearing your service uniform. I have your license plate and I will drop it in with the police.
Oh, and I saw you swing into the opposing lanes overtaking a semi earlier. Be lucky there wasn't traffic.

Justice will be served!
An old Pimp overtook me on a residential street...

Maybe there was a reason? My wife's water broke about a month ago and we had seen on the ultrasound that the umbilical cord was in a dangerous spot (easy to wrap around his throat when he shifted into the birth canal) and a very serious medical issue. It was 9:30am when I rushed her to the hospital - 100+ mph on the highway, 50+ mph through the city, running red lights and stop signs (still came to a stop or crawl! took off when no cars were coming), passing in no passing zones, etc. I was making good time (hospital approx 25 miles away) except for a 300C who wouldn't move over and kept checking his mirror at me flashing my lights. He was driving in a way to purposely be next to the car next to him so I couldn't get anywhere, I guess he was trying to prove a point. I knew if something went wrong with my son, I'd know to track down a gold 300C with Ohio tags (we aren't in Ohio) and a young (<30) guy driving it.
Was it dangerous? Yes. Was it worth the risk to not have my son suffocate? Yes. Would I do it again? Every time.
Long story short, there is a possibility that there was a serious situation. But if there wasn't, then screw this guy.

There wasn't, from what I can see. And still, taking someone out who happens to ride reasonably is vehicular assault. Got something important? Tough tits!
I just hope karma happens. Not in the way of him being involved in an accident, but being pulled over.

So you are going to drive like an asshole and risk killing 3 or more people? Call the police/ambulance and let the professionals handle the dangerous driving.
Your username tied with this story doesn't help the BMW driver = douchebag stereotype.

Yeah, I'm not sorry. I have extensive experience with high speed driving, I knew the risks, and I couldn't give two shits about a dumb stereotype. Call an ambulance and wait? No. It'll take the ambulance 30 minutes to show up and another 30 to get to the hospital and in the meantime they offer no services onboard - no ultrasound, Doppler, anything. All you've done is waste 30 (critical) minutes. The only benefit an ambulance would have is they could hook up a fetal heart rate monitor - and in the worst case scenario you can hear your child slowly die while everybody around you is helpless.
Believe me when I say I'd say the same things you are saying if I was reading it. But when it's your own situation and you know there's a very legitimate chance that your child will die and the risk grows with every minute, you'd probably do the same thing. Like I said, I wouldn't do it unless it was a medical emergency and I'd probably look down my glasses at anyone else with a similar story but when it's your kid with an umbilical cord around his neck you do what's necessary. For us, it was rushing to the ER as fast as possible.

When I read the first story, I thought you were rushing to the hospital to get to your wife, not bringing your wife to the hospital. Rushing someone to the hospital is ok, still dangerous, but justifiable. However, just speeding to the hospital to get to someone already there is pointless.

No worries, and I agree 110%
