Last night, a SUV driver in the left/passing lane wouldn't let me pass him (no one was in front of him). When he'd start falling behind the car that he was driving parallel with, I'd try to pass him on the right lane, but he'd speed up to keep parallel with the car. I managed to pass him when it became a three-lane road, but right before it became a single-lane, he cut everyone off using the shoulder and ran a red light. On the single-lane road, he started driving 30mph in a 45. |

Had a '98 Mustang race up parallel to me last night on the way home from the movies and give me a "LET'S GO BRO!" look with his girlfriend in the passenger seat. When I politely declined by slowing for the right turn into KFC he gunned it and cut me off as closely as he could then kept on going down the road. Really showed me who was boss. I was driving the family PT Cruiser at the time, with two passengers. WHICH REMINDS ME. I've got another one. This one super bugs me because of how often I end up driving up/down the state for long stretches of two-lane high-speed highway. People who get mad because you passed them, speed up, cut you off, slow down, rinse and repeat. This is because when I'm going to be stuck on the 5 freeway for 6 hours...I'm using cruise control. I'm not being an asshole, I'm going the exact same speed now that I was several minutes ago when I passed you. If you slow down and I have to pull a maneuver to pass you and return to cruise, I'm gonna be mad because I already passed your slow ass earlier and now I'm wasting fuel. We're both gonna be here for several hours, why you gotta be a douche? |

moon bunny Group: XIAO Posts: 5,735 Member No.: 13,323 Joined: Oct 4th 2005 Location: Update Profile | I'm just gonna re-state again how much I dislike cops... Not all cops... just the ones on the road, particularly the ones that park their fat Harley two-wheelers behind a billboard and/or underneath a highway ramp, specifically to catch you in the act of going 10 mph over 60. I get it that it's their job to be A-holes and collect a couple of thousand bucks worth of tickets quota every month for the old Jabba the Hutt looking Serg' back at the station, but... for RPD sakes man, go fscking do something productive like stuff your face with donuts~ Also, cops are like speed bumps... except historically speaking a lot more retarded.

If you're riding along and are the only one who knows where we're going, I expect your directions to be precise and correct. If they are not, I will get very cross with you as it is clear I'm wasting my time. As to Xiao's cop comment, here in California speed traps are illegal. A cop cannot hide and nail someone. They're perfectly in their right to be in plain sight and nail someone though. This is because California ruled that speed traps were revenue generators instead of safety enforcers. The more you know. [ Post made via Mobile Device ] |

"hey I think we gotta be on the 91" "no man, 405" "yeah dude it's the 405" "we'll Fred 2 on 1 I vote 405 as well" My directions are usually spot on, just that nobody believes me.. That said, i'm not a great driver in traffic, I'm even worse when people are talking to me. I cant do that. And yet oddly enough, if people are silent when im driving, I'll get upset.. Its a dangerous game I play. This post has been edited by Sensation! on Dec 10 2015, 12:05 AM | ||

Idk if it is here but most of the time cops would be sitting in their holden lights on and all waiting for a guy to speed. Sometimes they will be pitch black on a side street creeping... | ||

So edgy. I hate driving in traffic. It makes me sleepy for some reason. But I like watching cars weave in and out in a poor attempt to get somewhere faster. [ Post made via Mobile Device ] | ||

ShiMACHaze Group: Advanced Members Posts: 19,542 Member No.: 5,394 Joined: Feb 5th 2005 Location: Drydock | I hate driving in traffic only because the majority of my cars have been manual. I've only ever owned three automatics (out of 7 cars), and both my parents' cars are manuals as well. Only my siblings have automatics. That being said... all my post-1970 cars have at least had cruise control, so at least long drives weren't a major pain. I've owned three 1970 cars though, and I've driven all three up and down the state before so take that as you will. |

Woah, the more you know indeed! I have two buddies o' mine that are lawyers... I'm gonna invite 'em to some coffee, see if we can get anything remotely similar to eliminating speed-traps at least here in El Paso off the ground, because gosh darn it, right here it's like their pastime numero 2 to nail speeders on the freeway... pastime number one being speeding themselves~ >_<; | ||

Civic owners get such a bad rep. I have a coworker with a Roush Mustang GT. Accidentally ran into him a couple days ago. Even though I was right behind him and waving, he was too occupied with pulling up next to V6 Mustang's and trying to start a five-second traffic light drag. Mustang's are so goddamn common that in the one minute of being behind him, he had "taken" over three V6 Mustang's, none of which showed any interest in participating in the shenanigans. Can't complain too much though: with him ahead of me, traffic moved at a reasonable pace. | ||

Coming from a Mustang, she'd probably hate the RX8. From what I've read (from here, maybe), it requires a significantly different driving style. |

Patient Zero Group: Advanced Members Posts: 4,279 Member No.: 37,947 Joined: Oct 1st 2011 Location: Update Profile | Hm. I don't like it when people don't know how to merge onto the freeway. I also don't like how it gets randomly slow around the areas where freeways merge or split. Only because those traffic jams usually have no right to exist. If you drive and pay attention to the signage, you should be able to quickly align yourself in the lane you need to be in and go on your merry way. None of this jerking yourself off in the car while you try to figure out which freeway to take garbage. |

They know exactly which freeway to take. They just don't decide to be in the correct lane until the off ramp is 100 feet away. A lot of LA traffic is caused by that and a lot of people do this. | ||
