Do you think that somehow there will be no traffic and you'll be able to scoot out of the CVS parking lot like it's a 1970s sex symbol laden cops and robbers show? I particularly like the day when your coffee flew out of the cupholder and splashed against your windshield because you had to slam on your brakes to avoid sideswiping the guy in front of me as you rocketed towards the exit as if you were coming out of a NASCAR turn. What is the obsession with accellerating towards an exit with such vigor? I'm not suggesting you drive like a senile blind old woman, but this hopped up blasting towards the exit seems to always lead to your abrupt stopping. Why do you do this? All it does is make overly cautious drivers think you're going to cut them off or crash into them so they slow down like pansies which just adds to your frustration, mr parking lot jack rabbit. If you were a little more graceful approaching the exit (or interesection) maybe people wouldn't wilt on the road, frustrating you so much.

I see people rocketing towards an parking lot exit or an intersection only to slam on the brakes all the time. It seems silly and amateurish. I'm trying to understand why people do it. The body language I read is "ohh, i'm gonna fly out of here and hit the road" and seconds later "oh shit, there's cars, I have to stop suddenly" and "here's my look of disgust that I'm not the only person in the world."

Probably because I'm not ragey. Just curious as to the thought process.

I upgraded my brakes just for the sheer joy of being able to abuse them heavily. However, I'd venture to guess I'm somewhat of a minority.

I always see people rocketing towards pedestrians walking across the street. This only happens when the cars have a stop sign, not a stop light.

Also when people are trying to make a left turn, it seems like people rocket towards the intersection as if not to allow them to turn.

Maybe I'm just nuts.

I'm considering upgrading my brakes up a level, but I'm not sure its worth it considering I dont have that much power.

You think, what at any rate there will not be movement, and you can run of head of the park garage CV as, is a symbol of sex of 1970 the police officers and the loaded presentation of thieves? I especially as day when its coffee continued of the cupholder and rocked against its windshield, because you should slap in its brakes to avoid to strike of slant the type before that me like you have flown to an exit as if you left return NASCAR. What obsession with accellerating to an exit with such energy? I do not offer, that you moved as the senile blind elder, but jumped, flying to an exit, apparently, always carries to its sharp stop. Why does you do it? All, that does it, - force to excessively cautious conductors to think, that you will disconnect them, or to collide with them so they are gone more slowly as thoughts that only adds to their frustration, The American hare of a park garage. If you were focus a little more elegant of an exit (or interesection) is possible, the people for be not on the road, him disturbing so.

The stones: licks my nuts.

I don't think you're nuts. I see the same thing. I understand driving without hesitating and with confidence is safer than being terrified of every potential hazard, but this hyped up rocketing towards intersections is a bit unnerving to watch.

AHAHAHAHAHA. That's freaking awesome. You've successfully made my post read like a high school english essay.

I know that recently, my girlfriend's classmate was hit by a car at an intersection. She had the right of way, of course. It wasn't a severe accident or anything, but, naturally, the driver was going entirely WAY too fast (rocketing).
