If it was a police "precision ramming manouver" it was really stupid.

If it wasn't, it was probably a driver that tried to change lanes without turning his/her head to check the blind spot, it also seems that the driver of the car didn't signal before changing lanes.

Most people don't realize that the speed limits are set for a reason, not just to annoy us. The speed limit is also for low centre-of-gravity cars driving on a clear day and dry road conditions.

The problem is modern mini-trucks and mini-vans feel like regular automobiles and get driven by people without any truck driving skills. All it takes is a small distraction, flat tire, rain, snow, etc. and these vehicles loose control. The rest of us also pay the price.

I have owned a couple of mini-vans but I never drove them like I drive a regular car. I knew how unstable these vehicles are and how annoying and dangerous on the passing lanes with cars trying to pass you.

A mini-van or an SUV is not built to be driven like a sports car, even if it has the same size engine and power as a sports car. The problem is car manufacturers give you one message when they market them and a different one in the owners manual after you've purchased the vehicle.
