Why o Why if you are putzing along at 55 in the left lane and you have a line of cars behind you do you not pull over? Then when you finally do pull over you accelerate up to 75 so that I cannot pass you? How friggin hard was it to go 75 or even 65 originally??

Why do you pull right out in front of me when there are no cars behind me then go 10 below the speed limit.

Why do you cut me off on the highway then step on your brakes?!?!?!?!

If you are making a left turn why do you friggin have to swerve to the right first, you don't have a trailer behind you and you block the whole lane from passing you.

It's a drizzle not ice not snow and you people are driving slower today than they did when it was falling an inch an hour when you were driving like the roads were dry.

It's like the clouds have affected peoples brain cells today or maybe the humidity is slowing down their brain functions WTF people can't drive.

I just hate people in general. but yeah, a******s on the road just need to be shot.

I drive a box truck for where I work all the time... I almost get in SO MANY accidents 'cause these dumb s***s decide to pull out infront of me (while I'm going 65) and they go 35. They just couldn't go after me...

Also, when you're pulling up to a light and you have a heavy load in your truck, and you're slowing down expecting to stop nicely at the light and someone decides to jump infront of you so you need to subtract another car length of your stopping distance so you don't kill them.

Jesus christ are people stupid. I'd LOVE to smack some sense into almost all of them. or at least get a portable "remove heart" button so people can watch themselves die as their heart magically appears infront of their eyes 'cause they p****d me off =/

I've heard that drizzle or small rain is actually more dangerous than heavy rain. Especially if it's after a dry spell. The water combines with the oil, but since theres not enough it doesn't get pushed off to the side of the road.

Could be false, just something I was told when learning to drive.

The key is to methodically and calmly ride their ass at a safe, yet close distance so that you don't have to brake when they brake to try to slow you down.

Eventually they'll whip to the next lane over. If your ass is getting ridden, turn up the radio, avoid looking in your mirror and stay at your pace until they whip over to the next lane. You are expending little to no energy and they are expending much.

Sun Tzu would have been a great driver.
