Stupid. Stupid. Stupid Drivers!!!!

[Mahnarch]

Ok, there I was - driving 50mph in a 55 zone.

I've got 7 cars in front of me, keeping me from doing any faster.
Rain is pouring down in sheets - also keeping me down....

....I see a headlight poke out from behind my trailer and disappear.

We come upon a 'No Passing Zone' that's at the bottom of a hill and that headlight pops back out, only this time with a friend.

An idiot in a full=sized Dodge pickup tries passing me, in a heavy downpour, up a blind hill, with 7 cars in front of me, on a two lane road!!!

Why?! Most likely because 'he doesn't want to be behind a slow semi'.

He gets to the mid-point of my trailer when "HOLY CRAP!!! CARS ARE COMING THE OTHER WAY!!!'

What does he do?!
He slows down and gets right back behind me......

HHHHAAAAAA!!!!! Just pulling your legs, people!!
That's something that only 'normal' people would do.
[Actually, 'normal' people would never pass in heavy rain in a 'No Passing' zone.]

He speeds up and WEDGES himself between me and the guy infront of me (sans enough room to do so.)
I mean, he almost drove under my front tire, trying to get over.
He would've ended up both under my tire and in the back seat of the guy in front of me!

I slammed my brakes and slid on the wet asphalt, thinking I'm going to end up in his lap as he forced himself on me like a drunken sorority girl.

I finally get enough room to see his rear bumper and....HE'S GOT A HANDICAP SYMBOL ON HIS PLATE!!!!

I cuddle in nice and tight, since he almost took my front bumper off, anyway and turn on my brights - right into his back window.
[At this point I'm using every word in the French dictionary]

We drive like this for 10 miles.

He gets his next break!

He speeds around the next blind corner and almost forces the guy in front of him off the road to avoid hitting the car coming at him THIS TIME!!!

I turn off my brights as soon as the idgit pulls out, out of respect for the guy who was legitimately in front of me and when the Handicapper pulls in front of the guy, he turns his brights on (following my example).

You wanna know how much time this guy saved?

After 40 miles, he was still the second car in front of me when I turned right off the main road.....after almost killing himself (pulling in front of me) and killing himself and another motorist (himself and the guy infront of me)

FOR 40 MILES!!!!
HE MOVED 2 CAR LENGTHS!!!!

And guess where he pulled into as I pulled off the main road.....

BURGER KING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I sat there - well, actually, I 'drove there' - watched him do it!

IDIOTS!!!!

Driving habits make me mad are people dont let you merge and when you force your way in the lane go where you just were. Its like why didnt they just let you in and they could have moved over sooner? Dah.

How about people who play loud banging music and pull up to the light next to you and theyre loud music boom boom boombity boom boom boom
Is drowning out your radio and the conversation in your car

And last is those who pull out in front of you and go slow.
You look in your mirror and theres nobody behind you. This person has to go slow but they hold you up too.

I especially agree about pulling out and going slow.

I did some films in the park today and I was you know for YouTube and I got looked at crosseyed by a couple people. One was a woman out for a walk the other person was a Jeep passing by. That blog was too long to upload but thats just as well my reaction used some profanities anyway.

Dude, it's scary driving in rain on a packed road, but at night you really need to expect the unexpected. I was on Chicago Drive at night and by the area that 31 has an exit for either going right or into the little break between the divided road to go left, this moron turns left into the other lane on the same side, meaning he's going the wrong way on a one way! The other things I've seen were a skateboarder in the middle of 7th Street, thought it was empty at the time, and once, a huge truck trying to go the same time I was coming straight through and he had the red light. Wonderful.

[Mahnarch]

OH, snap! I was headed on Old Chicago Dr. once and had some idiot cross the center median, not once - BUT TWICE!!!
And why??? To get to the 7-11.

I would have beat his a** if he didn't have those red and blue lights attached to the top of his car!!!

[Demona]

He didn't cross the center median, he turned left onto the one way side as I was going straight.

When you have a lightbar on your car its 'do as I say not as I do.'

Just drive on the Garden State Parkway. I guarantee you will run into at least one of these types every time.

The other day I was cruising at a good 80 mph in my truck in the left lane, passing just about everybody on my right side. Which is perfectly legal by the way. (Dad taught me how to really drive. ) So I'm cruising along and this little tiny Nissan sedan comes flying up behind me.

The driver obviously wanted to go way more than a fair 80. The instant she gets a smidgen of a space, she flies over, passes me on the right (which is illegal) and then cuts me off! Then she proceeds to do the exact same to the guy in front of her. Overall, I think she did it about 10 times. I started following her, mimicking her every move (short of being a jerk to other drivers. I don't do that.) I wanted to teach her a lesson, that not every driver in a big truck is going to put up with that kind of crap. I think she saw that I was after her, so when I pulled up next to her on the right side she looked over at me. I gave her a nasty look and a one fingered victory salute. Then I dropped off and drove normally. She sped off.

The most satisfying thing was the thumbs up I got from the guy behind her. That was good to see. It must be nice to see someone actually do something they don't like.

"one fingered victory salute." AKA the "Unicorn symbol," and the "Old Number One."
hahaha.

[Demona]

Nice one JL! I think they need to be put in their place sometimes if you can do it. Sometimes the motorcycle drivers are worse yet, because they can really go fast. Traffic was slower than all get out and packed and this turd was just in and out between cars practically begging to hit one.

If you see this vehicle.

Driven by this guy here. Be ware you may end up on YouTube.



I found something that looks like Phil's vehicle on E Bay and stole the pic.

That's it pretty much. You've seen my blogs though. I don't tailgate, and I keep it between the ditches.
That picture could almost be it at Allegheny Park.

[Blastgirl]

See now we know who to look for.

By the way Phil's driving is not careless at all that's not why I posted this. ;D

[Phil]

I managed not to run anybody down that day. That's always a good thing.

[Hedgy]

I bet half these people are wannabe street racers XD. Only joking!

Okay. Once, I was getting a lift off my grandad, and this guy trying to look cool in front of his friends and tried squeezing in front of us...he made us t-bone him. He ended up with a huge dent all up the side! Serves him right...
(Oddly enough, we only got a scratch on the bumper!)

[Demona]

I bet some of them are wannabe street racers....unfortuneatly.

[Classicblast]

If other people would just realize that when I'm driving I have the right-of-way much of these problems would go away. hahaha. Only kidding.

I agree people definitely overestimate their cars and transitioning ability.

I would like Phil to do more YouTube blogs with the park that was good.
