Stupid F*CKING drivers

rr165892

A couple road observations I'd like to add.
1. Why does every vette driver have a Tom Selleck type Moustache? Look for it you will see.

2. Never and I mean never get behind a taupe,Bronze,Beige, car of any make.I think car makers put their tiny engines in those colors and only sell them to seniors,High School Girls and Middle age Asian and African American women.And for Peter sake someone please tint the windows on those cars.Bronze cars NEVER tint.

I was on I-95 last week cruisin around 80ish in the Middle lane when the trifecta of slowness(Beige student driver car with young girl driving and a young girl instructor pulls from the slow lane right in front of me doing about 35.ehhhhh.Now I didn't get mad it was a kid for gosh sakes but we got a good laugh at the color and demographics of the situation.

3. Watch out for the Jesus fish/Jesus co pilot emblem or sticker.That car..... Well nevermind

4. And please If I so courteously stop and let you merge,cut or pass how about a little common courtesy and put down your phone and wave a acknowledged thank you or a fuck you for that matter.I hate rude fuckers.
5. Fast lane is there for a reason,If driving fast or like a NASCAR driver freaks you out please get the fuck into one of the other lanes.

I would like to add people who drive those god damm smart cars. They will squeeze in between you and another car in traffic because they are so small and then go slower than the lane was going slowing you down. I would be scared out of my life driving it as you only have a foot or two gap between you and the bumpers. I would think they would be more cautious. One of these days I am going to play bumper cars with one. You want to drive a bumper car on the highway, don't get mad when I treat you like one.

rr, I hate rude fuckers too! Especially on the road. Especially when they cut you off, piss you off, then flip you off.

Really?

And Ani, those smart car drivers make me They're actually a safety hazard to the rest of us.

I'm afraid to get into a fender bender with those little smart cars.They do not look safe.If a 10 mph wind can tip ya,maybe you got the wrong ride.

I will pull through a spot to get forward-facing, but I won't waste my time backing into one. I can see the safety issue, but really don't think you gain that much more visibility by pulling straight out vs backing out. You're only as strong as the weakest link, thus you're only as safe as the least cautious person in the lot.

If you can see as you pull out, you can avoid that weakest link (presuming it isn't you, of course).

I don't see to many of these. I'll remember this tho.

Hi, person on entrance ramp to freeway. Umm in case you were never taught, its your responsibility to get up to speed as you merge anf yield if necessary. It helps if you are judging speed as you enter the top of the ramp. Also, please note that it is really unsafe to wait til the end of the ramp before you turn your fucking head to see if you a. Have space and b. If its safe to do so.

Trucks dont stop on a dime and take a bit to gain back the speed/momemtum you selfishly broke.

Finally , is it really necessary to speed up and pass me at the minute if you are going to have slow down anyway to exit? Consider it safer to slow down and get behind me. Fuck. That 1/1000th of a sec that important? You'll blow it anyway at a stoplight fucking around on your god damned phone.

I don't understand why constructors are putting so much technologies in the car when it seems so damn complicated to use correctly the blinker!

hedonist

That technology is (I believe) part of the problem.

I don't have to actually LOOK to see I might be backing up into a person or car...let the camera alert me!

I don't need to worry about drifting into another lane...the sensor will keep me from doing it!

(I feel like Grimey going nuts in that Simpsons episode)

It's almost as if these devices validate people not having to pay full attention and be responsible with and for a machine that CAN KILL (even smart cars!).

Oh, and providing the ability to use social media while driving? Brilliant.

And that is one long bridge. Drove back and forth across it a few times. Stunning creation.

It was a Yugo in 1989.

http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1989-10-03/news/8901190020_1_suspension-bridge-accident-car

Probably the same size as a smart car.

Here's more from Wikipedia:

Two vehicles have fallen off the bridge.

On September 22, 1989, Leslie Ann Pluhar died when her 1987 Yugo plunged over the 36-inch-high (91 cm) railing. A combination of high winds and excessive speed was initially blamed.[25] Later investigation showed the driver had stopped her car over the open steel grating on the bridge's span and that a gust of wind through the grating blew her vehicle off the bridge,[26] although this is not supported by recorded wind speed measurements taken on and around the bridge at the time of the accident.[27][28]
On March 2, 1997, a 1996 Ford Bronco went over the edge. It was later determined to be a suicide by driver Richard Alan Daraban.[29]
On September 10, 1978, a small private plane carrying United States Marine Corps Reserve officers Maj. Virgil Osborne, Capt. James Robbins, and Capt. Wayne W. Wisbrock smashed into one of the bridge's suspension cables while flying in a heavy fog. The impact tore the wings off the plane, which then plunged into the Straits of Mackinac. All three men were killed.[30]

Suicides by people jumping from the bridge have been rare, with the most recent confirmed case taking place on December 31, 2012.[31] Roughly a dozen suicides have occurred from the bridge.[32]

A yugo that's right. Gosh I don't remember it being decades ago. I have lived in MI almost 31 years and I still will not go across that damn bridge. Scary! If I ever do I may pay for the service to drive me. Ahh freaks me out just thinking about it. Some day I'd like to go to Escanaba where my Canadian family immigrated to.

I've always said once you turn 65, you should have to retake the driving test annually.

I'm ok with taking the drivers test annually at 65. Just as long as they lose it by 68!
