9 VW drivers arrested for DLA

If you're gonna DLA (Drive like an A******), don't do it in a construction zone, and don't do it on film.

(7/21/04 10:41 p.m.) A group of Volkswagen enthusiasts on their way to a VW show in New Jersey last week made the mistake of bringing along a video camera on their road trip. A tape seized by Massachusetts state troopers shows the group of 9 drivers racing and weaving in and out of a construction zone along I-290. The drivers were later ticketed.

You can download the video directly here.

Well there's no justification for how they were driving, but I think the news article kind of paints a negative image of VW enthusiasts. What amazes me is that the kid interviewed towards the end acts as though he doesn't believe he did anything wrong. The tape doesn't lie though.

My favorite part is the close-up of the instrument cluster, showing the car going well over 100MPH.

No one has any business driving like that on the street.  Save it for the track!  I cringed every time they were referred to as "Volkswagen" or "VW" drivers.  Damn idiots! :x
