best part of the entire story!!!

 

people are just retarded and want to be in the fast lane...even to go slow. Of couse thats after they get onto the freeway at 40-50 mph....they go right over the the fast lane and **** everyone off!!! Buncha frik'n idiots.

Glad you busted that tool!!

ps. I now have road rage because of those idiots. lol

-freddie <---stock...cant pass like I used to hehehe

 

not too soon tho

i dont get those people also driving slow on the fastlane its like they feel like theyre fast but theyre just actually slowing down everybody.

 

Wow, listening to you guys scares me...lol. Sometimes I'll be in the fast lane and have to get out of someones way. I never knew it pissed people off THAT much that someone just happens to not be driving fast enough...I mean, I'd hate to cause that person to actually have to activate a blinker and adjust the steering wheel by a quarter of an inch and then repeat the ENTIRE process to get back into the number 1 lane just to go around me...God forbid...just kidding folks ha ha ha....Actually I commute from Marin to Livermore every day and deal with fast lane crawlers all the time...you just have to remember, there are a lot of idiots on the road and there's not much you can do about it...

 

good ****! I hate people that aren't courteous and don't let people pass. The other day on 580 I was going about 80 in the fast lane and came up on a mazda 323 doing about 60. As I'm coming closer he starts angrily pointing to signal me to pass him on the right... WTF!

 

We should have legislation that forces people who want a license to train in Europe.

 

u know what gets me they are in the fast lane, and then by law they should move to the side cause slower traffice is supposed to move to the right, but no they make u go around them if they even let u, or they let u get on the side of them and then speed up !!!! grrrrrrr

 

LOL - sounds like someone just got back from Europe! The first time I came back, I went through the same thing for a number of months. People here are bad drivers, with a different attitude. They view communication on the road like horns, high beams or even a left signal in the fast lane as an act of aggression. It makes no sense. Just suck it up and accept that you live in a place where people are not trained to drive and licenses are given out like condoms on gay pride day.

 

These laws are enforced in Germany, and other places in Europe. There is also a law prohibiting folks from passing the right, which is also enforced.
Enforcement of this law would make our freeways MUCH safer than ticketing people for doing 75 mph.

 

Just be very carefull. People are just plain stupid. I did 2 1/2 years motorcycle commute on the San Mateo bridge before it had the 3 lanes each way. 38 thousand miles I put on my motorcycle. I have seen it all on that bridge but here is my favorite.

I am lane spliting going east on the San Mateo bridge. Not too fast not too crazy. Cars are barely moving. I see down 4-5 cars I see an SUV that turns it wheels to the right and closes the gap between the two lanes. It was very very obvious that he saw me coming and he did not want to let me go by. So I slow down I look in my back mirror ( ) and wait. Then I find an opportunity and go behind that dork. About 30 seconds later the CHP officer on the BMW (That I saw coming when I look in my mirror) comes next to me looks at me waves and put his blues/siren and off his megaphone goes : "car on the left move to the left of the lane" the car took like 5 seconds to comply. CHP went by and 5 seconds later I followed and give the car the thumps down.

I was so pleased.. SUV was a Denali (I still remember his personalized tag which I will refrain from mentioning here).

Cheers

It's not that simple. The other lane of traffic was going like 65mph, just like he was. I couldn't pass because other cars were there, otherwise I would have just passed, no big deal. But when he's going the same speed as the other lanes and has NO ONE in front of him... it makes my blood boil!

 

I have been driving along before, like on a long trip and I will notice someone swooping up behind me and I will move ASAP. I am sure they were PO'ed at me for a little bit, and I have found that 99% of the humans out there lack the ability to have compassion or even to accept that they too make mistakes or aren't 100% alert sometimes. Also, I drive in the fast lane w/ my Celica on 101S from SF->SJ because it's smooth and the rest of the lanes it makes me bite thru my tongue as my spiked hair punctures the headliner, but I am usually going faster than eveyrone else anyway and I move for faster traffic. Suspension yay.

But, I am posting because I was on another forum a while back, and I actually had a conversation with the very shirthead crapface smock coker type of person that does this ON PURPOSE! I was flat out blown away. He drives a Suburban of all vehicles and mentioned that the speed limit is 65, so if he's going 75 that should be fast enough for everyone else. He was pretty proud of hitting the rear wiper washer when bikes or shiny sports cars are behind him. As well as blocking people that try to pass. All kinds of things. I still have a hard time understanding how someone can be such a purposely inconsiderate jerk, but I guess they are out there. Everyone else on the forum noted his vehicle type and a few of us know him in person as well. We all promised to brake check the **** out of him any time we see him on the road.

My sister's friend also made the 'fast enough for me, fast enough for you' comment. I don't get it. Just because I say 'poe-tay-toe' doesn't mean I believe everyone else should.

Good onya for sic'n the copper on him. People suck. Slower traffic keep right indeed. I was going to get MOVE RIGHT in 4" vinyl letters backwards on my windshield but didn't for two reasons: 1) It would prolly attract unwanted attention and 2) the same jerks that don't move for people prolly don't use their mirrors either. If only my turn signals were lasers. ZAP.

BTW - I have found that a hand-held air-horn is the best release to get over bad drivers. Fock a bunch of stressballs, give me an air horn!! You can say a lot of things with an air horn. For example:

HOOOOOOOOOOOOONK = you shoulda moved right, jerk.
HOOOOOOOOOOOOONK = stop tailgating you bastage.
HOOOOOOOOOOOOONK = watch where you're going a-hole!
HOOOOOOOOOOOOONK = thanks for cutting me off for the 3rd time.

It's a very useful commuting tool.

Take care,

Isn't it fun when people divebomb you, cut you off, and then putter along with no-one in front of them? That's one of my favourite things.

I remember one guy was searching around his car for something and swerving all over while going slow. We came to a light and I shouted "If you're looking for your windshield, it's right there!!" He flipped me off, which was fine with me.

I miss driving in England. Never driven in Germany before but I am sure it's the same deal. I guess when people pay ~$1500 and spend 6mos to a year to get their license (instead of "Spell name, okay $11 please" like here) they take driving a little more serious. I LOVED when you come up behind someone and they move before even getting close to being in your way. Nice!
