By the way...this is all in fun. Please don't get hateful or make it personal against anyone in particular..thanks  |
Somebody did that to me and a few others today while trying to go from the left lane to the exit ramp three lanes over.
I tried to not make it hateful just like Ms Foster asked. If you take it personal than maybe thats your sign to get a clue.

I have never understood why this bothers people. I do not slalom through traffic. I do not cut people off. I am more likely than the average driver to let someone go in front of me. When I see an accident, I stop to see if anyone needs help. I carry a fire extinguisher in my car for such occasions. When there is nobody in front of me, 85 - 90 mph is common, and 100 isn't surprising.

I see people doing 85 going past me on a number of DFW roads when they probably should not. If you do that kind of stuff responsibly than nobody should have a problem. I don't care if somebody does 100 out in the middle of nowhere like I have done in the past but have slowed down when coming upon traffic so as to not have any surprises. Once there is a speed difference of 15mph or more the chances of having a demo derby go up. We all know a bunch of race cars can go around a race track at 200mph but if just one slows down 5mph in a pack of cars it wrecks havoc on everybody behind him. Its when people do it while trying to pass me from a lane that, oops, just disappeared even though you had a least 15 seconds of warning that right lane was going to go bye bye. The last two people trying the slide by almost ended up with a skinny car. People who use the other vehicles on the road as cones for the slalom course as they race past. I have a number of times almost turned some import street racers into a pile of junk because I could not keep up with all of the lane changes while trying to get the hell out of the way of one only to almost flatten another.
Two weeks ago I almost had a suburban PIT(think cop car spining a car out) itself on me and then I would have sent it rolling over down the tollway if I had not jinked and jabbed the brakes so it could get by because it suddenly did not want to be in the left lane where it should have stayed. But no it wanted to be in the center lane with me before it had gone past me.
And when I am in the left lane going slower than you does not mean I am holding you back on purpose, it means some dipwad is slowing me down. And of course your in too much of a hurry to let me move over into a slower lane so you can see it for yourself and for me to get out of your way. BUT NO, you just have to go around honking and flipping me off and you almost run into the cars in front of us. And I can't help it that for some reason cars I try to pass just like to sit in my shadow or maybe they like the movie I am watching
and want to watch it as we go down the road so I can't change lanes unless I shove them over a lane.
For those who type by wondering all over the road put the phone down, aim your eyes out, make sure the brain is in drive, and at least put one hand on the wheel so that I at least think that you are in control of your vehicle.
To all the clueless and selfless people driving beware. I won't get out of your way only to cause another accident. I will just let your dumb ass buy another car and pay to repaint the clown car. Why? Because I will let you hit me.
PS: you can ask the guy in Austin that was doing 75 while the rest of us were doing 60 all about it. He was able to drive away but he lost that encounter hands down. And pissed off his insurance company to boot.
YES I need to get laid. The last three attempts did not happen.
