This is scary...

[SilverB7FL]

I'm sure you guys have all heard the Urban Legend about the gangs that drive around without their lights on at night and as part of an "initiation" the 1st car that flashes their brights at them they follow home and murder. Well its not so much of an urban legend b/c its happening.

Down in Belle Glade, its like 30-45 mins from west palm beach for those that don't know. Someone was killed during this same gang ritual. Just wanted to let you guys know in case you haven't heard. Can't be too careful nowadays.

My friends dad works at a dealership over there and the police came to all the businesses and told people not to flash their lights at cars that don't have them on.

[jcll2002]

wow.

[Phrost]

So if you see any cars with no lights on, just roll down your window and shoot your gun at them. Problem solved

[toaster]

how do they know that's what happened?

with the economy down a bit, crime's gonna see a bump.

people are f'd.

[3.2some]

And that my friends is why I got a gun.

[SilverB7FL]

how do they know that's what happened?

with the economy down a bit, crime's gonna see a bump.

people are f'd.

I don't know but thats what the police told them

[Sanjman]

how did they find out... did they interview the person that got murdered?

[nuctech]

yeah but he wasn't talking

[TSlice]

I've also heard before that this is NOT an urban legend.

[Slo.Mo.Shun.]

Good thing I never flash or honk at anyone. In fact most of the time I run my fogs only.

[dreamcar=rs4]

im deff gonna buy a gun

[SilverB7FL]

yea there are a few cases of this happening but alot of it has been miscommunicated but w/e just wanted to share believe it or not I don't care. Just wanted to let my fellow audi drivers know.

[ultimatetaba8]

[up]. Good word of advice. You're right..you can't be too safe. At least we have this piece of knowledge to go forth with now..just in case we see something like this.

[CX-7&A4]

It's illegal anyway, some Hyundai driver was flashing EVERYone that passed around her(going slow in the left hand lane on a 2 lane highway). So when I noticed she was making the left hand turn on the same street I was, I stopped at another left hand turn lane on the street we turned left on and waited for her to come past, and when she did, I sped up to her and I flashed my high beams about 5 times, I hope she was as blinded as I was, more so for her because I was in an SUV.
bitch.

It pisses me off to no end... I normally don't do that but she had nerve.

[Latin Audi]

This has happened here in TX its def not a myth

[Das General]

Okay so next time you flash your lights at someone and you see them make a U-turn immediately...call the police or speed away. Plain and simple.

[B7A4Sport]

I had a scary road rage incident recently.

Every single day I pass thru this same congested area on 101 South just north of San Francisco. Every single day, I find one or multiple of these idiots who can't drive and talk on the phone at the same time the reason for the hold-ups.

Well, this time, I decided to cut off and seriously brake-check one particularly floundering conversationalist. I know, I know, not the best approach, but some people just need to be woken up. Apparently, this was a wake-up call for ME to stop doing that stuff. [headbang]

I got his attention pretty well, but then when I went to get off the freeway, I noticed the same guy dive sharply off the freeway on to the same exit. At that point I knew he was after me; he quickly sped up next to me and pulled up on to a median area just to do so.

The window rolls down to reveal a fatigue-wearing Air Force troop, who was less than happy with my wake-up call. He wasn't big or anything, but he started yelling at me. I had none of it, at first, cuz I didn't notice he was a Troop. At one point he started saying "you wanna go, huh?!" I simply told him to get a life and learn to drive. He yelled back "what, learn to drive? I fly jets, what do you drive?" I was like, "A sick-ass Audi, fool!"

The light turned, and the guy proceeds to follow me for another 10 minutes while I was on my way to get my car tinted. I wasn't really scared, but more in awe that someone would go so far out of their way over this. When I got to the tint place, one of the workers was out front and saw this guy screaming at me. He must've realized how ridiculous he seemed, because he ended up apologizing and telling me he doesn't live here and was trying to get directions.

Out of all this, the thing that stuck in my mind was........if this guy is such a badass that flies jets 100's of mph's while most likely getting directions over radio, why can't he friggen drive a Toyota Highlander 55 mph while talking on a cell phone??? [drive]

[SilverB7FL]

yea I've had some scary rd rage happen to me too. Twice it was b/c someone cut me at a red light off so I had to slow down kinda fast so I was closer to their back end then I would normally be but still not close enough to think anything of it and twice the person that cut me off tried to run me off the rd and follow me.

the 1st time was right after a hurricane and I had my mustang and it was mustang vs escalade so when he came all the way over my lane he did run me off the rd and I had to run over big sticks that were on the side of the rd.

The 2nd time this car was coming into my lane and it followed me then it got in front of me and slammed on the brakes but there was a turn lane so i went into the turn lane and they got next to me (mind you they are stopping the flow of traffic not me b/c im in the turn lane and they are in the straight lane) and just sat there I couldnt see inside the car b/c the tint was too dark, the whole rd was backed up b/c of this car and ppl were honking and slamming on their brakes and it just stayed in the rd for like 20 seconds then finally left.

People are crazy.

[themig90]

I was on 441 once with my car full of friends who are football players so they are pretty big, they were in the back and my tint is pretty dark so they could not see them. Anyways I see this hot chick in the passenger seat of this mustang and wink at her not knowing that she was with her boyfriend, he sees me and speeds up and cuts me off then brake checks me. I obviously get pissed and start following him, and my friends open up their back windows and start yelling. We follow him to the next light which was red and they get out and run towards the car just to spook him but he makes a quick right. My friends get back in and we keep following him till he gets to a gated community so we leave. It was just to fun to see the look on his face! haha

[smithm5]

buy a gun? i bought a B5S4.....i dont think the "gansters" have the car or the skill to keep up ahahahahha

but serisouly are their News stories about this? anyhting CONFIRMED?

[Das General]

IIRC the show Gangland on the history channel, mentioned this as an initiation process.

[B7A4Sport]

Glad I Live In Canada!

Better click that link for Snopes and read the 2nd or 3rd one down, bro......says it started in Manitoba and is going West thru Saskatchewan. [:D]

(Don't worry, I know its fake, lol)

[nuctech]

LOL! Luckily the Rocky Mountains will protect us from those badass farmer gangs!

[Phrost]

I don't get how people can get so pissed as to stop in the middle of the road, or purposely try to hit your car and cause $10,000+ damage to both vehicles and have it be their fault. How can someone be so ignorant and dumb?

1. I was on an on ramp behind a Hyundai Sonata V6, and this guy was on his phone doing 40-45 and not speeding up to the 65 limit even. The merge lane was kind of long and the guy wasn't even moving over, so I quick sped around him and zoomed past him at the last second, so I kind of cut him off right before his lane ended and he finally decided to merge in. The guy was pissed and was trying to tail/keep up with me and flip me off the whole time. Mind you, I was in my 115hp 2.0 VW Golf, and he had some V6 Hyundai that could not keep up lol. He ended up taking my exit, following me 5 minutes away from the highway, and when I quick jumped in a turn lane to get off the main road, he slams on his brake in the middle of the road to roll down his window and scream, "YOU'RE A LITTLE PRICK! YOU'RE A LITTLE PRICK!" [:D] His voice was really high and he sounded stereotypically gay, it was hilarious. So he cuts across the road to follow my turn, and I started ripping through corners (coils and 28mm rsb with good tires) since my Golf was pretty slow in the straights... I lost him during that, but then he saw me pull into my parents driveway and just drove past slowly and didn't stop. I hope that nutso *** was lost then, but at least he didn't try to hit my car or anything.

2. Some old guy in a v6 Malibu thought I cut him off [rolleyes] in my stage 2+ Audi TT when I simply passed him normally and signaled. He speeds up to almost rear end me, then zooms around me to cut me off and literally almost clipped me had I not slammed on my brakes. Then he repeatedly got up to the speed limit, and kept brake checking me really hard [>_<] I got tired of it, so I downshift while switching lanes to pass him (this is a high 13 second TT against a stock Malibu that probably run a 16) and the old guy swerves into my lane attempting to block me, only I was up to his passenger door and accelerating heavily. Luckily there were no cars around us and there was a side road there, because I had to slam on the brakes and swerve into the perpendicular road and almost hit the curb at the corner. I started driving again right away all pissed, but I just drove normally and let him go wherever he was going and didn't bother to follow. That senile ****** was seriously trying to hit me, I don't need to have a damaged car and wait for him to pay to repair it.

[OceanBlueB7]

Had that happen yesterday to me too. Some farmer goat-roper backs his pickup/tanker into my lane on a 2-lane road and as I signal to move into the other lane to pass him, he sees me coming and guns it. When he realizes I'm still going to overtake him, he swerves into my lane, nearly hitting me. I just KNOW this dolt's cranial x-ray looks like my avatar, but WTF???!!! Are people seriously this outta control on a daily basis?

"Driver's are rude, such attitudes
but when I show my piece, complainst cease
somethin's odd, feel like I'm God
you stupid dumb%*^# god-damn MUTHER-$&#%@*!!!"

I think we all have that song, "Bad Habit" by Offspring, permanently on a CD in our changers. lol


This is symbolizes people trying to get back at us when we smoke them in our Audis!
(we're the evil smile safely out of reach behind the wall) ----> [headbang] [evilsmile]

[Geoffafa]

i wouldn't pride on speed in an Audi.. Lets face the facts: a modded 2.0T without a K04 turbo is still pretty slow compared to other stock cars around our price range. cant beat us in class and looks though.

[Stak3407]

So if you see any cars with no lights on, just roll down your window and shoot your gun at them. Problem solved

Hahaha, nice.

[gyroscope]

Same thing was happening in Newark NJ a few years ago. Gang initiation. There police bulletins send out to everyone in the city.

[Vito Roma]

yea i've heard of this before thats why i don't do it

[nSun]

couple weeks ago there was this pretty fucked up incident that happened to my friend's brother's friend. As you can see I live on the west end of British Columbia and if you keep heading east it'll be hicktowns full of hicks everywhere. The guy was with two friend's making a road trip towards the east on the highway and I think they accidentally cut off this white pickup truck. The truck didn't just take it and keep driving but it started trying to run them off of the road. Finally their car ran off the road and flipped a couple of times but the guy and his friends were OK. After the flip this guy crawls out of the wreck and started walking up to the highway. The white pickup truck turned around, and sped towards him running him over, which caused his death. From what I know these bitchmade bastards are still on the loose. Props to Canadian cops.

[tomasmdiego]

another update a cop friend of mine told me that gangs are also hitting the rear of the cars (love taps) amd when u get out of the car too see what happens.. pop u get shot. just hsaring info ive learned

heard that this weekend here in miami tooo

[fa sh000]

I think this is a fuckin lie.

[R1NSE]

This guy I know told me that some kid at his little brother's school went in to the bathroom, turned off the lights, and said Bloody Mary 3 times in to the mirror and when he came out of the bathroom he had scratches all over his body and was bleeding.

I live in Broward County (1 county south of Belle GLade and didn't hear anything about this). Granted, its not like I want to drive through Belle Glade at night though anyways. Don't doubt that people are getting killed there but this is an urban legend.

This shit is real, some of you may not experience it but it's out there. I always hear about shootings in the freeway here in LA county.

When I use to have my gti, this suv was tail gating me on the freeway and I tried to loose him by speeding but got damn I could not lose him. I was so scared I thought I was gonna get shot or something. So I exited real quick and he tried to follow me but failed and went off the road, probably fucked up their suv in the ditch.

Take this as a precaution. Something to think about.

[GEkido]

I've received that "Flashing Lights..Gang Initiation" email as well but never paid it no mind. I checked the snopes and saw it said bogus. What worries me more is the old habit of flashing lights when you see hidden cops or FHP troopers. I've done it quite a few times myself so reading that email made me think twice about flashing lights at anyone.

wow thats nuts. I've been followed a few times, its so scary. People are out of control.

And if you've never had it happen to you, you won't believe it until it does, I know b/c I never thought I'd have a gun in my face taking out the trash in my friends apt community last yr. Now I'm really cautious of slow moving cars in parking lots.

[jdubbs119]

i have the worst road rage, anyways, when i take my rage out on them whether its riding my horn for 20 seconds or flashing my high beams or both, they usually just take it, but some don't and start to follow you, I've realized to always acknowledge the people who will follow you, i once had to take this one person 20 minutes out of my way, i would be hitting insane speeds and they would keep up, so i took them up to this place, in the mountains, and this person pissed me the fuck off, so i busted like 70 on a turn, and i guess i finally lost them, after i felt bad for the person, because i don't think they ever got out of that place. i realized i should stop, but i cant, that rage sometimes gives me enjoyment.


but thanks for the info, never thought it was the truth.

[Noffy]

I'm sure you guys have all heard the Urban Legend about the gangs that drive around without their lights on at night and as part of an "initiation" the 1st car that flashes their brights at them they follow home and murder. Well its not so much of an urban legend b/c its happening.

My friends dad works at a dealership over there and the police came to all the businesses and told people not to flash their lights at cars that don't have them on.

Sorry to be so insensitive but this really made me laugh. You said it it the first sentence, Urband legend. LOL this is silly, I hope that if I drive away with my lights off so one lets me know. Because I am probably to drunk to realize it. LOL joking.

[Phrost]

I've been followed before and had all that crap done to me.

All I do now if some piece of shit wants to follow me, is go out of my way and take really fast corners. It's always a dude in a piece of crap car that wants to try to follow me, so I make a game out of trying to make them crash. lol it's their problem, as long as there are no people/cars around, my car is very quick and has quattro.

I usually just lose them (followers never go away unless you lose them, or you park at your destination and they just drive off like the pussy they are) but one time I made some kid slide into a concrete barrier around a sharp corner. From what I saw his car wasn't hurt that bad, but he slowed right the fuck down lol

[SilverB7FL]

yea I've done that before, my car can take turns so much better then most other vehicles on the rd so ppl think they can keep up and they really can't and have to find it out the hard way. its like dont mess w/ me. lol

[Rotond0000]

And that my friends is why I got a gun.

[up] yep [:D]

[thenicholsterr]

how much are bullet proof windows?

[johntesi]

Haha ok listen up kiddos. My mother got one of those bullshit forwarded e-mails with this same story. Except it was now "happening" in Southlake, Texas. She emailed me about it and I called BS. She agreed, and the woman that sent it to her would NOT let it go. She was forwarding it everywhere. So momma 'tesi here went and called the Southlake Police Department and the (REAL) law-firm that supposedly was persecuting in this case. Neither of them had heard of such a thing. That's my mother for ya...
Being followed, that is real. I try to dust them with speed, but unfortunate stop lights or traffic sometimes neccessitate major turning and circuituous routes well away from the house.

[3.2some]

how much are bullet proof windows?
too much

[thenicholsterr]

then i'll stick with bullet proof vests and a helmet jkjk. this is the most mundane gang i've ever heard of...
