Instead of joining the madness that was unfolding right in front of them on a highway in California, two women decided to find the humor in it all. As they watched two drivers race each other, they entertained themselves by running commentary and cheered when the Odyssey driver, who had been a nuisance on the road, was finally overtaken by the second driver.
The commentators posted a clip of the race on Instagram, along with a background story in the caption, explaining that the driver of the Honda Odyssey had refused to let anyone pass him. Speeding up when anyone tried and brake-checking them when they got behind him again. They also noted that he had done it to multiple cars over 100 miles. The video showed two cars, the Honda Odyssey described in the caption and a white Audi, driving in front of the woman. The driver of the Audi, who had obviously been one of the many victims of the Honda’s road rage and was bent on serving them karma, sped up to overtake the Odyssey.
“Go, go, go, go,” the women cheered them on, rejoicing immediately the Audi got in front of the Honda, “Yayyy!” When the driver of the Audi gave the Odyssey owner a taste of their own medicine, one of the women exclaimed, “Oh, she brake-checks him.”
Many viewers flooded the comments with their reactions.
“They call it street justice,” one user joked, obviously supporting the second driver. “If you drive like the dude in the minivan (speed up when people try to pass/ won’t get over for faster traffic), you have the most broken ego in society,” another user said, pointing out that the behavior stemmed from a deeper place. “You’re so full of yourself that you are visibly bloated with arrogance. Seriously, rethink who you are as a person,” they concluded. A second user wrote, agreeing with them, “Yeah, no, people who do that type of stuff deserve a special place in hell. Props to the Audi.”
A third penned, “That is someone deeply sad by the events of their life. You’re driving behind someone with no control of their life, and the only control they have is how they control their vehicle, so they have to go to this extreme to balance things out.”
One netizen lamented, “This is the strangest phenomenon in America. This stuff doesn’t exist anywhere else in the world. In every other country, you give the car in front of you a slight beep, and they move over for you. While someone else joked, “It’s always the ones with 150 horsepower engines 😂.”
Many other users were pleased with the karma that met the Odyssey driver. “This is the most therapeutic post I’ve seen all day 😂,” one wrote. “The Odyssey driver just blowing his own transmission trying to keep up with the Audi 😂😂, a second user jested. “That lane swerve to keep him from trying to pass again healed my heart,” a netizen wrote, while another noted, “That is very satisfying. When someone else is willing to fight your battle for you.”
