Rant: Norcal drivers

Ok, I have about had it with the ****ing retards that drive here in norcal...

1)Getting on the freeway: Its a onramp, hit the ****ing gas! Look Mr prius, I know your pile of **** can't go too fast, but you can stomp on the go peddle and get on the freeway at at least 60. Merging at under 40 is unacceptable, and is the reason why people like me get road rage...MOVE.

2)Speed: Ok *******s, when your on the freeway,it is NOT ok to go 55, sorry that just does not cut it in this modern world. Speed up, or get the **** off the roads.

3)Stop lights: Hey you, yea you ****head in the camry that thinks its cool to stop 5 million car lengths behind the car in front of you...move up! its not ok, its not nice, it screws up traffic for the rest of us.

4)Leaving said stop light: oh, and then Mr ****head you think its ok to accelerate like a wind up car with the spring broken. Again hit the ****ing gas, get up to speed, and stop holding back the rest of us.

Yea and people wonder why us folks that grew up in Socal get so pissed at some of the brain dead norcal drivers.

Hahaha. But man it's not so much different in socal now as it is in norcal. Those Prius drivers are driving me nuts. One was doing 60 in the left lane and expecting us to follow. F*** that! Get in front and windshield fluid the hell out of them!

You're probably right though.. every time I go home to SF, I'm going nuts with the slowness.

No ****... I grew up driving in LA. Man the 10, rush hour, bumper to bumper 7 lanes of traffic, all moving 70+, teaches you how to drive real quick.

****ing happens every time I get on the freeway... It sucks because I don't have the power to accelerate from 35-65 in 10 feet, however I have the grip to hit 70 while going around the clover.

I have actually got out of my car, pointed at the person, and said in a loud voice "Hey *******, you are ****ing up traffic for the cars behind you, MOVE UP HERE" and pointed then got back in my car...to the laughs of many drivers around me.

That's freakin' hilarious.

The other thing to do is if you see garbage like this from people in the lane next to you, just go ahead and parallel park your car into the spot in front of them since they were kind enough to leave that much space for you in the next lane.

I would love to see this happen. In SF you get the standard norcal BS driving but also the tourist drivers who are completely oblivious. Makes me wanna bash my head into the momo emblem on my steering wheel.

It's typically one of two vehicles: Prius or land yacht (Excursion, Suburban, etc.)

They'll be content to drive in the far left lane on the 280-bahn at a rate of speed NOT to exceed 65 MPH. They'll be completely oblivious to the people behind them, never checking to see that there's a line of 10 cars stacked up waiting to pass them. Then they wonder why they're upside down in the center divider - an occurrence which happened about a week and a half ago northbound 280 when I was headed home.
Felt like yelling out the window, "Learn to drive, jacka##", but there were too many CHP and ambulance crews surrounding the driver.

Begin socal rant:

I much prefer going 55-65 in norcal, instead of 10mph everywhere in socal. Why is there traffic on 110 at 2 in the morning? Oh yah, socal drivers can't drive!

Oh noes, it's raining, and 405 is packed after an accident. Maybe I can take the 5... oh wait, there's an accident there too. Maybe i'll take 57 to 605 over to 10... oh wait, there's an accident too... why's that? Oh yah, socal drivers can't drive!

One more thing, at least in norcal, traffic is only in certain sections at certain times. 101 north from 8am-9am... avoid. 85 north from 730am-930am from union to saratoga... avoid! 101 north at 6pm near Peninsula... stay to the right! Outside of those hours, it's wide open.

In socal, traffic time is 7:30am-10am, 11am-1pm, 3pm-8pm on every freeway. AND the carpool needs THREE people wtf? Hey look over there, 2 lanes of nicely paved road that no one's driving on... wait what? You have to buy a fastrack and pay to drive on it?

End socal rant

Norcal drivers used to go 80 as normal flow maybe 4-5 years ago, but CHP has really stepped it up around here the past 2-3 years with speed traps and the avg. speed has gone down pretty considerably.
