rant on bad drivers

[thepushercg]

what is up with some peoples thinking now days, take for instance today i am coming home in my truck, no cars behind me, this one women decides to pull out in front of me with a clear view that there are no cars behind me. i am moving along at a good pace, when she decides to do this, making me start braking from a decent speed of 60 down to 40. then the blue fox can not get her car above 45 for the next two miles before she turns off to get a laxative or something. this is almost a everday thing around here.

i have had kids twice this past week get in the fast lane and stay beside the slow lanes car to keep anyone from getting by, what is up with that thinking, i mean if you want to lead, then lead, dont slow everbody else up because you woke up this morning looked in the mirror and decided today was your day to be a bonafide
aZZ. this is just a rant of what i think is uncalled for driving. i know theres non driving drivers everwhere in the world. it is a wonder that there is no more road rage than what we see now.

now if i had a tank, oh yes i would allways be the leader.

of course these type of drivers do not bother me when i am riding the busa, all they ever see is the rear tire after a few seconds.

You are preaching to the choir here!!!

I am just like you in my way of thinking.

The wifey thinks that we are the bad guys and we need to learn some patience and understand that not everyone is as aggressive as us.

My response is, are we ever late? to which the response is... silence.

Then I remind her how many accidents I have had compared to her.

I take it with a grain of salt and keep it moving.

Your wife and my wife should hang out... they apparently subscribe to the same philosophy.

I hate those people that think they are the speed police... blocking lanes to prevent the pass... I will flip my h-beams the entire time I am behind them...

 

[thepushercg]

my wife trys to keep from driving when we are together, she says the same thing as your wifes does. i can not help it, i have tried to control it but some drivers just get under my skin.

 

[Wag]

I control my anger on the bike a lot better than when I'm in the car.

Driving is an art. Too many people have no paintbrush.

I agree. It's amazing the lack of courtesy and disregard for what I think of as "rules of the road."

 

[Slicksnchicks]

thats why i have a train horn on the dually...i let people know i want to go faster then them and to get the F outta the way. Good for old retired people down here in Fl as well, i know they hear me now

I hate those guys that get on the interstate and then ride in the left lane at 10 MPH BELOW the posted limit. I ride the bumper of my truck about 1" from their rear. They pull to the right--I pass--then they move back into the left lane. What's up with that?

They do it because the leftmost lane is the safest lane to travel in. That is, until these knuckleheads decide to get in it and gum up the works.

Hmm, let's see.. q-tips down for the winter. Driving slow because they have alllll the time in the world , well I DON'T!!! MOVE IT!!!
People that line up all the way across 3 or 4 lane roads, everyone is too scared to pass the other...all doing 5 under the limit.
The "I got to go there now" people.. you know the ones. They are in the right lane on a 2 or 3 lane road, and decide they need to make a left. And make the left, no matter what is in the other lanes. Or left and take a right.
"Motorcycle Police".. no not the cops on bikes... the cagers that think it is their duty to control the speed and/or lane changing of a motorcycle.

Of course the usual - pull out in front of me, when there is no one behind me. Just to turn 2 blocks down.

OH OH wait, the ones I hate the MOST are the ones that need to turn, and there is a block long turn lane they can get into.. but the start braking a block BEFORE the turn lane... Then wait until half the turn lane is gone and THEN get INTO the turn lane???

Why you got to get me started?

I seriously need to work in the same county I live in. Commuting 50 miles a day in Tampa Bay is getting to me.

I drive up and down I-35 alot and see this stuff all the time. If you are going 70 in the fast lane and i am going 80 (w/ my Escort on lead) I am 2 feet off your bumber. Why do people not get out of the way. Just move biatch get out the way you see me coming. The right lane is for passing only. Get around any car needed and scoot back over to let people who are a a higher pace go by.

My wife usually reads or closes her eyes when I am driving in traffic. I tend to keep a close follow to keep the other jerk offs from trying to cut in front of me and slow me down further.


Viva La ROAD RAGE!!!!

Both the hubby and I are very aggressive drivers, though I try to keep my calm with my kids in the back...

We're still working on the zapper ray gun idea we've had for years to blow the slow pokes in the fast lane in to outer space.  'Til that time, I'd settle for just a single question on the driver's tests before you're allowed to drive "which lane are you supposed to be in when you're going slower than the rest of the drivers around you?"  If you get it wrong, you can't drive for another year...  

This morning, some lady in a HUGE beat up old Lincoln Town Car was literally "floating" the beast from lane to lane, came over the line and almost side swiped my Mustang, floated back, sped up, slowed down, sped up and pulled in front of me as we were approaching a stop light.  My hands went up in the air because I was yelling "WTF!" then she floated back over in to the other lane...don't worry boys, I gave her "the look" when I went past LOL  Stupid drivers...

I had a job that i put up with for 3 years that was about a 100 miles one way! Couldn't be late cause I was the Boss! But on the way back home would have the same little truck get next to a semi in the fast lane of which there was only 2 and hold every one up! Punk redneck looking did i say punk!!  

Looking back I'm glad i quit that job because I now realize i was about to go postal or be a road rage victim or perpetrator. I remember saying several times I'm bringin bessey tomorrow with the 300 gr hi loads.

There was a great "pusher" yesterday. In a big Grey Cadi. He would lane drift, then straddle the center line until he decided which lane was the fastest and then take that lane. When he did, he would be RIGHT on the line (just in case he needed to dart into the other lane) but 2 inches off the car in front of him. I was marveling at his agressiveness.. well until I passed his dumba$$ when he picked the wrong lane.

there is one more type that will get you mad.
that is the type that wants to get onto the freeway running 45 into a 70 + mph traffic.
it is called the acceleration lane. that means speed up and merge at 70.
when you are the car behind this idiot sometimes is almost impossible to get onto the freeway till all the mad drivers get by.
i know im not insane now after reading the other post on this subject.

One of the things I really hate are the jackasses that don't understand that 99% of the time when a two lane road merges that the left lane has right of way unless otherwised signed... Yet they get rigth up next to you and try to play chicken and get yout to fall back so they can take the lead... I have run three people in the last month into the curb because unless you are in front of me and merging over I will not fall back... If you are a quarter panel or neck and neck trying to race me... I will keep my lane and either let you hit me or force you into the curb. the majority of the time I let people pass if they are going faster but when they wait to the lanes merge and then try to force me back or make me slam on the breaks I refuse to give the merge to them. I had an off duty cop do it to me and he called it in... Guess who got threatened with the ticket... NOT ME... I find that I have not gotten kinder with age when it comes to driving... the only people that I automatically give Roadway courtesy to are Motorcyclists. The other thing I hate are these silly bike riders that ride right in the middle of the road when it is posted 35 or higher... Are you kidding me! Take your spandex'd ass of the street and obey the rules of the road... I have almost plowed a couple of them in the city because they cruise right through red lights without a care in the world and then get angry when you almost clip them.

So yes I have some anger issues when it comes to driving but I make sure that I am doing nothing illegal.
