S: Impatient Bad Drivers...

[CluelessSi]

Everyday I see them... Today this car just overtakes me going over 80 on a 55 highway (entrance ramp) and then because of traffic he starts cutting and weaving all over the three lane highway.... This causes all of us to slow down and make the traffic even worse.

sometimes I realy really want to whip out a fake police light or something just to make them S*** in thier pants...
Also hate those that cut out to another lane then cut back in to the one waiting to get to either an exit or entrance..
What do they think they are doing... passing people that are going 75+ on 55 and weaving and causing accidents....
I am so :angry: I want to :woo: and :johnwoo2: them....

Sorry, I just have to drive 45min to and from work and this kinda stuff sometimes just pisses me off... yea yea i guess this is kinda a verbal road rage but if everyone was polite and followed the law (within comfortable buffers :P) then everything will go more smoothly...

I know what you mean about these guys! But I can handle the cars that do that, it is the dummys on bikes that I can't stand! There should be an IQ test to ride a bike!

This guy the other day was doing the same thing you are talking about, weaving in and out of traffic not using any blinkers. I mean, I know a lot of bikers and they don't always use them but they use standard hand signals. This guy? NO! He would put his left hand down by his hip and flick his fingers twice and move! He was infront of us at a light I wanted so bad to get out and chop off his ponytail and kick him off that bike!

i hate the old farts on the roads who drive like sunday drivers every single day or who don't even bother looking in their blind spots before trying to change lanes...

and i hate those drivers who drive super slow and drive clunker cars that just pollute the air

Dangerous habits I see every day when on the freeway:

Changing lanes without signaling.

Following too closely for the speed you're going (60mph = 88 feet per second. If you're following 40 feet behind someone and the driver in front of you slams on his brakes YOU HAVE LESS THAN HALF A SECOND TO REACT!!!).

Changing multiple lanes without pausing or checking if it's clear. I once saw this guy, in heavy traffic, move quickly from the right center lane into the carpool lane, which was two lanes to the left. Traffic was very heavy and there was no way he could have seen what was coming from two lanes away. Sure enough, an instant after he gets into the carpool lane a car that was going speed limit had to slam on his brakes to avoid rear-ending the idiot. Fortunately the idiot looked into his rearview mirror and saw that he was about to get creamed and swerved back into the lane next to him. THEN after the car passes him he gets back into the carpool lane and proceeds to tailgate the car that almost creamed him. Why are cops sitting on the side of the freeway instead of pulling these idiots over? The worst part? Drivers like this feel completely justified in their behavior.

I see this kind of stuff every single day here in the Seattle area. It's just amazing to me that we don't have multiple fatalities in my area on a daily basis.

If you can't react within half a second you should NEVER get behind the wheel of a motorized vehicle. I don't care if its a Barbie PowerWheels (now with a one year bumper-to-bumper warranty (http://www.fisher-price.com/us/powerwheels/showroom/product.asp?sku=74340)). If you can't get within 50 feet of another car going 60, you have problems.

What makes you think there aren't multiple fatalities everyday? You'd probably be surprised. Actually, you probably wouldn't.

These type of drivers are all over the place here in San Antonio. The police have started using vehicles that dont look like traditional squad cars to catch crazy drivers. What drives me crazy is that all your saving time wise is a minute or two. For example the difference between sixty and seventy MPH on a 15 mile trip is two and half freakin minutes!!!!
