For the love of God there's a passing lane that's called that as it's for PASSING NOT FUCKING DRIVING WITH THUMB UP ASS!!!! Jesus, it's already bad enough that the snowbirds are now here, plus the obnoxiously loud, window-breaking exhaust pipes, "fuck you" attitude bikers have invaded. Do we really need to give a fucking class called USE YOUR FUCKING MIRRORS?!??!!?????!!?? When a car is behind you, and you're doing 55 in the left lane on 95 beside a semi, and miles of cars back up because of it, I do dream of having a rocket launcher mounted to my car!* Will say, behind Ohio, Florida and California are by far the worst of the worst!! And I get to pay for it, as after coming here, my insurance went up. So for anyone who enjoys driving up the highway with a "fuck you, you'll wait," attitude, I do wish for someone to come up,with a small, hard to see rocket launcher, as I could hit the button, drive through the wreckage, and be applauded by the rest behind me, all at the same time! Ooh rah! Am I the only one living here, who notices this? I know the NY and NJ transplants account for half, lol, of the 20M population, but damn!! * It's NOT the old people, and tourists doing this shit either! It's anyone from here who's driving age through about sixty, and they COMPLETELY IGNORE anyone behind them who doesn't have blue cop lights.
Instead of an "explosive device", what about a localized EMP generator that can quietly "disable" vehicles that piss you off?
I wish this was isolated to Florida. I wish we sent all our troubles your way. Wisconsin is filled with the same drivers, even in the winter. It always amazes me how most of the people here grew up here or in the Midwest, learned to drive in snow and yet every year the first few snow falls and it's like they were all from the equator region and never drove in snow. Crashes everywhere because they are driving like idiots. You want loud pipes, come to Milwaukee. These asshat Harley jerkoffs are beyond annoying. Although I do crack up at the ones who are biker wannabes, all decked out in their gangster leathers, but are really executives from the local companies.
I've driven all over the country and the absolute worst for driving in the hammer lane are NC drivers. If you are ever on I-95 in VA and you come up on some ass hat in the passing lane, holding up traffic, 9 out 10 times they have a NC plate. Guess it's part of the "3 R's" they teach in the schools....reading..wRiting...and the Right Road to Richmond... in the hammer lane!! LOL
Common, civil courtesy went out the window with the proliferation of Liberalism. Turns out, the "entitlement" mind set is more than just "getting money from other people for free".
All I ask is that when you are trying to parallel park on a busy street....GET OFF THE F**KING PHONE...yeah that includes you facebook status updater...sheesh. No one cares about the double fudge sunday you took a picture of earlier...
Good one, El Cubano. I saw some high school kids yesterday get off the bus. They were like zombies, shuffling along eyes riveted on their phones.
I drive I-95 a lot. The cars whizzing by at 90MPH+ invariably sport a NY or NJ tag. They support an entire county in southern Virginia off them. The Virginia cops love to catch a New Yorker, payback for Bloomberg sending undercover cops to Virginia gun stores. My pet peeve are semis that go side by side for miles as one inches by another on the parts where it is only two lanes.
Talking about FLA-- I re-registered a leased car in FLA from NJ and got hit with huge ( relative ) tax bill---- had I been aware, I would have just kept it registered up north.
Let's extend that to the yaps sitting at green fucking lights texting and talking. If they would pay attention, we might get through those intersections a little faster. Nothing worse than missing a green because three cars in front all were texting when the light turned green. (And that goes for both men and women primping in their mirrors, thus not noticing that the light has turned green. I'm thinking of buying a really loud train horn for my vehicle. Come on, your beautiful already, now fucking drive!) And what the fuck is it with people who think they suddenly get the right of way just because they pull out in front of a fast moving vehicle? That's just asking to get T-boned or rear ended...or maybe they just aren't paying attention because they are on their phones. And then there are the rubber necking sight seers. Rush hour? Seriously? Some of us actually get in our cars to get from point a to point b in a reasonable period of time. And how bout the towns that simply refuse to time their lights on major routes? No doubt many of the same ones that slap up a light after one wreck, not realizing the multitude of new wrecks that knee jerk reaction will cause. Isn't it great sitting through more and more lights because wrecks occur mainly due to texting, cell phone yapping, and primping? And yes, those fuckers who lollygag in the left lane. They are extremely aggravating..especially ones who have appointed themselves the protectors of the speed limit, and will make damn sure you can't get around them. That's when you want to ride their bumper with a jeepers - creepers tractor. Bet they'd get our of the way then! Just been waiting to get all that off my chest. Thanks for the thread Leap. No doubt I'll be flamed for some of my views. Too fucking bad. Flame away.
