Idiots in a hurry.......
« Reply #30 on: May 11, 2004, 12:36:17 PM »
You didn't strike a nerve with my driving habits, you just pointed out half of the problem - I pointed out the other half.

I don't cut people off, I study the situation ahead of the line of cars and if I see a large opening - hell yeah I'm going to get into the slow lane and pass those jerk asses. I won't cut anyone off, nor will I get back into the passing lane until I need to pass someone in the right lane. I drive in the Washington DC metro area, and good road manners plus knowing the rules of the road is like kryptonite to these people... so f'em.

The fact you drive in DC metro area you win on points!
I95 is a kids toy compared to the DC area, The metro is the one with 12 lanes or something like that right... How could you not cut people off, its like a requirement in DC to get where you have too!

Lived there for a year. This man speaks truth. I'd rather drive in LA than DC.

Damn, I just had a nice reply all typed out about the stupidity and horrible driving I experience daily - then IE crapped on me and crashed. Oh well, don't have time to re-type it. Gotta get ready to leave for a sweet four day vacation in Florida.

Enjoy yourselves, I'll be thinking of ya'll while I'm scoping out the hotties.

DC driving sucks.
Me:  Dude stay in your lane, you're hammered.
DNC Congressman's Gopher:  Don't worry man.
Me:  What about the cops?
DNC Congressman's Gopher:  I said, don't worry.  We're white.

It's not really symmetrical.  The left-lane-banditry causes people to pass on the right, not the other way around.
Blaming the passers is like blocking a doorway to a building and complaining that people are brushing up against you.

Kamikaze 18 wheelers...don't ya just hate em?!

So there I was, returning from a trip to Alaska.   Myself, wife, two sons aged seven and eight, and an elderly lady friend tooling along at 75 mph on an interstate in Oklahoma.

Check rear-view mirror prior to passing slow-traffic in right-hand lane.  Left lane is clear...semi quarter of a mile back...pull into left lane to pass slow traffic consisting of about four vehicles.  Half way through this procedure glance in rear-view mirron.  Semi is now 5 FEET off my rear bumper.  Hurriedly complete passing maneuver.  Pull back into right-hand lane...sob shakes his fist at me as he goes by...disappears from sight at what MUST be 90 mph.

License plate was unreadable of course.

Traffic above Bangor isn't exactly bumper to bumper, either.
