I like to smile and wave at the morons. That usualy pisses them off even more.
 
Some stupid fvck in a red Ford F150 crew cab was speeding up on the on ramp this morning when we were coming to a merge. I'm in the right lane, he's behind me in the left lane and there is a car in the left lane in front of me. It's clear that we have to merge and it isn't clear which lane is ending, just that both of them become one so this fvcktard speeds up and then gets pissed off at me when I cut in front of him. What an a$$hole. If you didn't want to get cut off then why did you speed up to make it more difficult for me?

He threw his hands up in a WTF type gesture and proceeded to tailgate me until we got on the freeway and then he floors it to get by me after we get on the freeway. Dumbfvck. I just ignored the fool and let him speed off into the distance.

Hey, I'm just trying to see if you are a hottie or not.
Exactly. If you're a hottie, we forgive you. If you're a 2-ton whale or some dude, we're angry at you for going slow.
 
If someone tails me, I'll usually slow down to 55 until their desire to go fast supercedes their desire to tail someone and as they pass I turn, expecting any manner of gestures and or words, and blow them a mock kiss.
 
:music:

Who's got the look? I don't know the answer to that question
Where's the look? If I knew I would tell you
What's the look? Look for your information
Yes there's one thing, the one thing that still holds true (What's that?)

That's the look, that's the look
The look of love

:music:

the middle lane is not the slow lane. the right lane is. if you're going the speed limit or below, please scootch over to the right.

yeah yeah.. here we go again.

driving over the speed limit is legal, isn't it? 🙂

if people didnt speed, there would be no speeding tickets, and the police departments would be underfunded and ill-equipped. so, in a way, my speeding is contributing to the well being of the community 🙂

You know the LOOK when you might be driving at the speed limit or just a tad over it and someone driving from behind is pissed off that you?re driving slower than them.

So they pass you and as they pass you they give you the LOOK.

I just hate when people do that I wish I could just ram my car against them and kick there ass after.

Edit: hate only the look when in the middle lane or the exit lane and driving speed limite or tad over it.

yes if your in left late and driving at speed limit, i would deserve the look
don't give them the opportunity by looking their way

correct technically is illegal.

What do you guys think should be the allow speed you could drive at on the second lane and the third left lane if the speed limit is 55mph

Don't be retarded, it is not your job to slow traffic by being in the middle lane going 55. It is quite simple, follow the rule where if people want to go faster, just move right. Can't get much easier than that.

Who cares if it is legal?
 
I really hate it when no one is behind you and you're in the right lane of a two way four lane road and this guy has to pass you up quickly only to take a right hand turn in front of you 50 feet ahead. Can't they just get behind you and then turn? When that happens I give them the horn, finger, yell and a big foot right up their ass.

Yeah I know what your saying, 50 feet is a bit extreme, but I rush to get in front of someone going slow in the right lane if I am getting off a highway because I have been burnt where I get stuck behind that person going 40 in a 50 (once getting off the exit). I'd rather just get off the highway first so that doesn't happen.
 
Heh, I just gave the LOOK to someone about 15 min. ago! I saw an armored car driving slow, and figured that made sense, but then I saw it was driving slow cuz of a car in front of it. I looked to see if it was an elderly person, which 98% of the time is correct. Looked like someone in their 60's.

Maybe they think you're going to turn the same direction as them, thus slowing them down on the next road.
 
I hate it when you are the lucky person to find the drunken person on the road. I had a nasty experience with one of them (only my like 2nd month driving when it had happened).

I also dont like it when people have no clue where they are going. I had this one lady signal pull of i speed up and she jumps back in, so i stayed back. Next turn she turned in and i was in the process of going by her when the blinker went off and she started coming over. I served violently almost hitting the car beside me, then swerve the other way, luckily i regained control of the car. I look back it was a women on the cell phone and she then decides she doesn't want back in throws her arms up at me and turns into the place.

Another time someone just started coming over when i was in the lane lol. She was on her cell phone and i didn't know what to do (i was like 1 month in then) so i didn't think to use the horn so i was gradually pushed farther and farther over until she saw what she was doing, honked at me, threw her hands up and sped off. Like it was my fault lol.

One thing i find humerous is when you see an old lady driving down the highway looking through her steering wheel, lol.

Some crazy people out there lol.
