Vying for a Darwin Award

So...I was out in the cage tonight driving down a four lane road in the pitch black (no street lights nearby), when this little Chinese knock-off (riding 2 up) goes wizzing between me and the car to my left. Not only were they lane-splitting at night, their headlight and taillight were not working. I literally didn't even see them until they were next to my driver door (close enough that I could have opened it and hit them). It really makes you wonder if some people have a death wish...at least they had full-face helmets on...

I'm thinkin' you were an unknowing participant in a movie set.....possibly Indiana Job?? Any other vehicles in the vicinity giving chase??

It could be a movie....... but more than likely some-one who is doing what they can to rid themselves from the gene pool................... and that may not be a bad thing.........

I think one needs to get one self killed in a more spectacular fashion to win a Darwin award. Garden variety stupidy isn't enough.

Attaching a rocket assisted takeoff device to the scooter and lane splitting in traffic with no lights and rocket boost might do it.
