Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Idiot drivers....

You know who I'm talking about Richard!


Probably a dozen plus rock chips on the pickup windshield.

Those "blue" lights are gawd awful. I have a hard enough time seeing at night with my retinas being assaulted with those fuggin' things.

Want to see crazy driving. Go thru Boone, NC when the first good snow hits and all the people from Florida and all the college kids get on the road headed up to the ski resorts.

It can be near suicidal.

Those that don't realize that as they get onto the highway - it's THEIR job to merge with traffic, not those already on the highway and doing 70's job to slow down and fit you in.

Feel free to friken check the lane before you simply come up the ramp and move left at 40 mph azzhole!

It is standard operating procedure in WA state to brake heavily and slow down to 40mph when merging onto the highway!

And Fuggin' school buses!

I hate school buses!

I'll flash once for the high beam dumbazzes (No, not THAT kind of flash ), and if there's no response, I'll watch 'em bake.........

You where over this way and you didn't get ahold of me for lunch? Shame, Shame.

We used to have an F250 that would squat a little when pulling a loaded 20' stock trailer. I think it messed with the headlight angle because a lot of cars would flash us.
Pretty sure my dad finally took it into Ford to get the lights adjusted, not sure if people quit flashing.

Amazing how many People don't realize this or just don't give a phugg.

And how exactly do you check out the lane when you can't see the lane until you're well up the ramp and committed?

Both of you guys sound like you're the kind of azzholes who speed up to keep somebody from getting in the lane in front of you.

If you're already at highway speed half way up the ramp, then finding a slot to merge into is a lot easier for both you, and for the drivers you'll be merging in front of.

It takes two eyes and a right foot...

along with the headlights, a real bitch with me is large diesel pick up trucks. You know the ones, lift kits, custom parts, stupid decals, expensive mag wheels and mud tires. AMostly around here, you find them parked under an Oak Tree, next to a double wide.
They always run those damn driving lights and their brights at the same time.
They will NOT dim them. I have burned out the retinas of more than one F250 SuperDuty driver with those 100 watt Hellas of mine when they don't ease up with the lights.

Over the summer I drove cross country as there were some middle America states I'd never seen. I can live with the green light minnie comas of Fla., the I have the right away/didn't you see me driving Chinatown' ers, the 100 mph hey it's Utah Mormons having to go make another kid... but hands down, Missouri has the biggest collection of worst drivers period. Ignorant, dumbfuks never bothered to learn the rules of the road people you've ever met.

You're in the Sierra Nevada foothills, I believe. Lots of places in this country, entering an interstate means all lanes have traffic. It also means you can have cars behind you on the ramp coming up to highway speed and jamming on the brakes to come to a near stop can cause real problems. Under these circumstances, drivers in the right lane can't easily change to the left lane to give entering traffic more room.

It also means that if you're any kind of decent human being, you compromise a little on maintaining speed. You - sometimes - ease up or even touch your brakes to allow entering traffic to merge - even if the sign on the ramp says they should yield.

It's not only polite, but it also keeps traffic moving safely.

Of course, some people are selfish fuqqs by nature, don't give a schidt about anybody but themselves, and would cheerfully run a soccer mom into a guardrail before giving up a single car length of space.

I'm sure you're not a selfish fuqq, of course.

I hate pricks that aren't smart enough to know their foot can come off the gas like the road is just for them. Selfish.

If you wanna see idiot drivers, drive thru that $hithole Houston,Tx. I dont see how people do it. They could never pay me enough to drive thru that daily. Worst traffic in the USA, well maybe besides Los Angeles!

As you come up the lane - the shiny thing hanging off your driver's door is a MIRROR - will tell you what's happening OR you can simply look over your left shoulder. It's not difficult to tell if you're matching traffic or not. People do it every day, often enough that when people DON'T - it sticks out.

What I'm talking about are the aholes who come up the ramp, never look anywhere (I can see your head turn or not, your absence of a turn signal is noted as well) and simply just merge left while being 25 to 30 mph slower than prevailing traffic.

Asking me, in the right lane and doing 70 in a 65 with traffic to the left and right behind me to simply drop my speed 30 mph so you can get on is damned dangerous.

If you can see them approaching, don't you try to immediately make space for them?

You probably do, know I do. Some people do make it hard, but when I see merging traffic (as I'm usually in the right lane unless passing), I start trying to make a space for them.

Nah. Been through Houston, Miami is worse.
