Road Rules Apply.

Why is it that everytime I get into my car and drive somewhere, some big ugly boat of a luxary car wants to tail me, no matter how fast I’m going. And if theres some, say, 15 cars in front of me, they insist on tailing me even closer. Like I should be in the right lane so he can pass, just so he can creep up 25 feet to tail the next person, who I was behind. What the fuck is wrong with these people? Me, I’ll tail someone, if they are doing 65 in a 70. or going 70 in a 70, but in the left lane with nobody in front of them, OR in the right lane. The left lane is also known as the PASSING lane. Right lane, you drive, you pass in the left, get back to the right lane. It’s simple traffic laws. Why can’t people understand that?

Turns signals are ther for a reason. I don’t let people in if they don’t have theyr signals on. why? BECAUSE I DONT FUCKING READ MINDS. That’s why. People turning left in intersections without a signal should burn in hell. Doesn’t matter if you’re in the turn lane, that’s not apparent enough, contradicting popular beliefs. It’s a simple law. It’s not hard. anyone that doesn’t use signals should not drive. if you’re too lazy (and yes, it is laziness.) to flick your left wrist, you should just cut up your license, and go ride the short bus again. Jesus. People need to learn how to drive here in the US. See, in Germany, they have it down. other places its fine. But here? god no. everyone is in sucha hurry, cuase that 3 extra MPH will get them there at LEAST 1 minute early. And Tailing people? That extra 20 feet cuts at LEAST a millisecond off your time. It’s all a race, and nobody wins.

So back to my original thought, why do these freaks do this? I’m going 80 in a 70, and they tail me. I speed up, they speed up. Ok, I let them pass me, they go in front of me, and slow down. DIE.

I get back ahead, they speed up… to tail me again! So I gun it, I lose them, they catch up a minute later, and resume said activity. They need to be shot. I swear. Or on my way home. I’m doing 75 in a 70, trying to pass someone, but people keep cutting in front of the Taurus thats in front of me. I can’t pass on the right, and I’m trying to pass the taurus, but they won’t merge back over. meanwhile theres a lincoln behind me, tailing me for the last 5 miles. I get over to the right lane, so does the taurus. the licoln passes me, naturally–as when I drive alone, i embrace my road rage–i tail him. he tries to lose me (not gonna happen) and I pass him doin roughly 100. he gives me a dirty look, and his wife flips out on him.

Go random jackasses wife. You rule.

The ignorance of other drivers really gets on my nerves too. Everybody thinks they own the road. And they wonder why road rage even exists.

amen brother. ~steph

oh don’t worry it’s just as bad here as there, i’m sure. I hate the grannies that drive in the passing lane doing 50 in a 70 zone on a FREAKING saturday afternoon when about 30 people are trying to get around them… and some dumbass is in the right lane going the same speed as the granny….. mind boggling how idiotic some people are. also hate people who think a MERGE is a YIELD….. uggggh

Just to let you know pl in Japan may be smart as shit, but they can’t drive. They have these tiny back roads everywhere & your doing like 80 km & they pull out in front of you, basically from nowhere because the streets here aren’t designed to be seen clearly, & do about 30 km. So, my point is I guess I’d rather be in Germany, b/c you say they can drive. The Japanese CAN NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It used to be, in Minnesota, that you could use your brain while you drove. Cops would give you 5-10mph over the speed limit, a reasonable speed, before ticketing. Now that every cop thinks that heÂ’s going to catch Osama Bin Laden, and that I fit the profile for said terrorist, we all have to drive like basset hounds with lobotomies. It used to be that you were allowed to make a right turn on…

very annoying. it’s terrible around here, but in kentucky the driving and drivers are awesome. everyone seems to follow the laws. i wonder what’s different.

I feel your pain, James. People here in Louisiana don’t know how to drive.

Know what’s really sweet? If you have car insurance, and someone is tailing you, put on the brakes, if you’re going less than 60 – usually. It works, and you get the money for it if you say that there was a red light, or an orange, or a squirrel. Whatever. It’s fun? Maybe holly –

I miss you James.
