This guy reminds me of Michael Carpenter from the Dresden Files.

What right did he have to stop that jeep? The jeep hadn't done anything to him! Why are we praising someone like this when we should be asking why that jeep is a slave to this man's will?

But seriously, that is pretty cool.

I object. Only Ghurkas can be considered heroes in the OTT. Take this weak sauce out of here.

It was only going about 15mph. If he saw it coming a block away and wasn't far from the road, that's not hard to imagine pulling off.

According to the article, he pulled up behind it and saw that it was slowing down and moving erratically in a 65-mph zone.  It was an open Jeep, and he only dove in far enough to get a hand (or both) on the wheel and steer it to the shoulder.  His legs were sticking out the whole time, and he ended up with minor injuries when one got caught between vehicle and guardrail.

My favorite part of the article, though, was him saying (paraphrasing) "It just felt like it would be ok to be late."

EDIT: Was it something I posted previously, or someone else?
