While driving to the gym after work today, This car appears in my rearview mirror doing atleast 70mph in a 35mph zone. They barely slow down to pass me while driving into the oncoming lane. So I flipped them off as they went by.
As they approach the next car in front of them, they start to drive into the oncoming lane for a second time. Before cutting hard back into the correct lane. I’m not making this up, they missed a head-on collision by a mere second. We then pulled up to a red light; sitting behind them, I yelled, “What the hell are you doing?” I didn’t receive a response. Instead, they went around the car in front of them and blew through the red light.
I got to where I normally turn off to go to the gym but it dawned on me that the hospital was just a little ways away from where I was. Curiosity and a creeping feeling of guilt compelled me to drive past the hospital and look over at the emergency doors. Sure enough the car was parked infornt of the emergency doors, still running with both doors wide open.
Now I feel like a jerk. They were driving like a mad man but I can’t help but think of what I’d do if I was in their shoes.. Anyway time to go workout
TLDR: I was driving to the gym and someone flew past me, almost caused a wreck and drove through a red-light. So I flipped them off.Turns out they were on their way to the Hospital’s emergency room.

It happens
Not a fuck up. They were wrong to drive like that. If you need to get to the ER that quick, call for an ambulance. That’s what they’re for, and EMTs can start providing initial care en route.
We get it, you workout bro. No need to repeat yourself multiple times when it’s irrelevant
You didn’t fuck up, they decided to drive like an asshole because they felt their “emergency” was so important that they put other people’s lives at risk.
I doubt they care, they have more important things to worry about.
They were probably in a panic and didn’t even notice. Also they should have called for EMS and not put additional lives in danger by driving like a menace
What’s wrong with flipping them off? They were driving in a criminally negligent manner. What if they had killed someone on the way to the hospital?
