Hilarious. I love that phrase.
WhiteTiger, pretty much everyone has been blaming the Infiniti. Why is it impossible for both parties to be in the wrong? The Infiniti is more wrong, absolutely, but that doesn't absolve the BMW's apparent wrongdoing either

It's an amusing term, and I rarely get to use it. Figured this was a good situation.
Thing is, despite the amount of aggressive drivers trying to say otherwise in the thread...the BMW's didn't do anything wrong. They didn't do anything that anyone pretty much who drives on a busy road doesn't do. If a police officer was behind either BMW, s/he'd not pull over either. They were doing nothing WRONG. They might (arguably) have been being a little dickish, but that's not illegal yet. Yet, a decent chunk of posters here are jumping all over them saying that if only they hadn't been driving side by side, this wouldn't have happened.
CP is home to some of the most amusing, aggressive keyboard driver's I've ever seen (no, I don't go to car forums), and threads like this just make me laugh.
So while I use victim blaming a bit tongue in cheek...it does actually apply, sadly.
