[Driving] Dear dude who cut me off on Westheimer at 610...

I admit to doing this. But only to drivers who try to squeeze in the 1 car length space between me and the car in front when there's nobody behind me at all. To me that's defensive driving.

 

ayy mane, i squeezed the mac on the redneck fella who tailgated me in his big ayy truck.. i wuz jus tryin' to do me. Ya feel me bro?

 

give the old lady a break.

 

That's true, that happens far too often on the freeway. It irritates me most when you're trying to turn left across a busy street, and someone doesn't use their blinker to indicate that it's safe for you to cross the street since they're not going to continue going forward. (For those instances where you can't really tell if they're slowing down or not)

 

thought that picture was a video. kept clicking the play button, thought internet was broken -_-

 

Pass.

 

grandpa?

 

hahaha EFF u!

 

How did he cut you off? Was it a thin cut like with less than 10 feet clearance or did he cut in front of you with like 3 or 4 car lengths clearance?

 

Yeah as a neutral observer I'd say you're stupid for letting that get to you and tailing him.

On the other hand, as someone who's been cut off by people like that, I've also tailed them and ran my high beams at them until i felt better :grin:

 

Theres always some idiot who tries to exist at the last second .

 

my bad bro

u dont have to be so mad

 

didn't realize road rage was such an existential problem

 

Tailgaters in general are the worst of the worst. In my "professional" opinion, 80% of accidents would not occur if folks didn't tailgate/follow too closely.

There is never a valid reason to tailgate. Tailgaters are the scum of driving society.

 

How is he going to get this loud and clear, if he's a Mavs fan.

Unless, he's a Dallas troll on this side who is conspiring to make the lives of Rocket fans, miserable.

Nah, team management does a good job of that already.

 

I have this issue all of the time, driving or walking in a public place. Someone will cut in front of me, I won't slow my speed, then I will pass them, and they will give me a dirty look. Or worse, the lady in the store who moseyed in front of me keeps eyeballing me like I was stalking her. b****, you got in front of me...do you really think I planned this trajectory? Get out of my way.

 

stand your ground - shoot.

 

If I see you with your turn signals on, I will speed up. Then we have people like you that caught on to me and started to try and get in without signaling.

Now I know better and I look in my mirror and when I see you driving fast with an opening in front of me, I know you're trying to get in signal or not so I speed up!

Gotta live up to the Houston rep.

 

Most people can't drive. Period. The current American Driver Education program is a joke. The results of it are what you see on the roads today. Ignorant people without a clue about proper driving procedures or techniques. That ignorance, combined with a laziness and apathy that should be punishable by death, combines to create the worst drivers on the planet. I hate them all.

Turn signals - People who are too lazy to move their hand the 6 inches it takes to use a turn signal disgust me. They are the scum of the earth, lumped together with child pornographers and animal abusers. If you're so damned lazy you can't be bothered to make that small effort, then the effort of applying pressure to the accelerator and brakes is surely too much of a strain on your sorry ass as well. Next time either ride the bus, take a taxi, or stay at home eating cheeseburgers and pissing in your Depends because you don't want to get up and go to the restroom, you lazy sack of ****. Then there are those people who turn them on and leave them on for hundreds of miles. This usually affects the geriatric set driving their huge boat-like cars. If you aren't aware enough of your surroundings to either notice that annoying sound of the turn signal repeating over and over or the flashing light indicating the same, then you should not be behind the wheel of a big wheel, much less a car.

Merging at the last minute - People that feel the need to rush up in the lane that they know is going to end in order to get ahead of a handful of cars, not realizing that their act slows down the entire process for everyone involved, including themselves, because of their idiotic last dash and merge need to be shot. You are not that important. Your time is not that valuable. You are an ass.

Fast lane squatters - Drive right, pass left. Simple rules for simple minds, but people don't seem to be able to grasp the concept. I don't care if it's a country road in the middle of nowhere. If there are two lanes going the same direction, this rule applies. If you are going 150mph in the left lane and someone comes up behind you going faster than you, move over. It's polite and it's how things should be, damnit.

Turning lane ignorance - If you are going to make a left hand turn and there is a turning lane available, USE IT. This does not mean enter the turning lane 10 feet before your turn. The whole purpose of a turning lane is to get your ass out of the flow of traffic so other cars don't have to slow down.

Rubbernecking - Yes, there is a wreck. No, you don't have to look at it. Overcome your base animalistic nature and don't try to find the severed head on a hood ornament. Keep driving.

Road sign ignorance - There are several right turns from one roads to another that have their own turning lane that does not merge with a lane on the road that is being turned onto. There are always signs indicating this in a clear and concise manner. And yet people still insist on coming to a complete stop, usually waiting until the light actually changes, before making their turn. Pay attention. Yes, caution is good, but stopping there for 5 solid minutes is like wearing a condom while masturbating, it's not needed.

Have to be in front - There seems to be a certain set of drivers who do this, although it spans all demographic categories from what I've seen. They see someone on a one-lane highway heading the same direction they wish to travel. There isn't another car in sight behind that car and the road is visible for miles. They wait a bit, letting the car on the highway get closer, then for some unknown reason, decide that the fate of the world depends on them being in front of that poor hapless person minding his own business on the highway. They pull out, causing the person on the highway to apply the brakes heavily in order to avoid a rear-end collision, and then proceed to travel at speeds well under the posted limit, satisfied that they are in front of the other person. One day I am going to buy a very large truck with very large bumper and simply refuse to play my part in this whole act by applying brakes. I'll claim I panicked and applied the gas instead. And hit the NOS switch.

Shopping carts - Although this really has nothing to do with driving, I'll mention it anyway, just because it pisses me off so much. If you are one of those lazy people who think it's someone else's job to return your shopping cart because your time is too valuable, then there's a good chance I hate you. You probably need the exercise anyway if you're that lazy. Take the cart to the nearest cart return or find some way to get genital leprosy so you can't pass on those genes and behavior. I have been known to randomly hand out cash to people who take their carts back and loudly thank others while glaring at those ****wits who leave their carts in the middle of parking spaces. I'm pretty sure I'll be shot one day in a parking lot.
