“Holier Than Thou” Lane Blockers

I assume this refers to people actually driving the speed limit in front of someone who does not wish to...

I thought this story was a comparison to illegal aliens when I first read it. They cut the line into the country ahead of all the LEGAL aliens who wait patiently.

A moving hazard, oblivious to the flow of traffic, the caravan of cars behind him or her, and the vast expanse of lane in front.

Actually, the illegal aliens in my town drive that way (poorly, and without a care in the world for others) also, and during the last hurricane, were known cut cut in line at gas stations AT GUNPOINT because they did not want to wait their turn.

I think that should be a death penalty crime.

Can't inconvenience the children who want to break the law just because they didn't leave for work on time. The code of the habitual speeder is that law and order is only for the other guy when law gets in the way of the order of things as I want it.

Most of the damn country doesn't know what a turn signal is. Here in SW Pennsylvania, driver's are generally quite nice; they'll often wave you in from a side street or stop the traffic behind them and let you make a left turn when the traffic behind you is likewise thick. But there is one habit which absolutely drives me up the wall-- many of them can't merge to save their lives. There may be 200+ yards of better of merge lane remaining and they come to a sudden dead stop to let the traffic clear before they go immediately over to the traffic lane. Of course, nobody in the traffic lane is going to move over to let these type of nimrods in for fear they'll do something equally stupid in front of them.

While I appreciate the courtesy and manners on the two-way streets around here, I cannot stand the abject stupidity on the controlled access highways. It is almost like the courtesy and the brains turn off once the posted speed is above 40 m.p.h.

It refers to idiots who don't know that the left lane is for passing only.

I have learned these things.....

-If the driver is not using his turn signal, he is most likely from California. The less he uses it, the further south he’s from.

-If the driver is going the wrong way on a one way, he is likely from Canada.

-If the driver has blue tinted hair, or an old hat that only exposes big monster ears, he/she is from a nearby retirement facility or community.... such as about 20 minutes from my house.

-If all the other drivers seem likely they are out to kill you, even in gas station parking lots, have all their windows down in 100* heat, stereos blasting so loud that your ears hurt, have cellphones stuck in their ears while traveling very fast and there doesn’t seem to be any rhyme nor reason in their driving.... you have taken a wrong turn and have found yourself in the middle of a traffic circus called, Salt Lake City, Utah. There is a reason I nicknamed that place, “The Mormon 500”. ;>)

- Finally, if you are going down the road and you hear loud popping noises, look for broken glass. I’m near, I’m pi$$ed, I think you tried to kill me and I haven’t quite got my aim steady..... ;>)

A person killed by a reckless driver is as dead as one killed by a clown waving a gun which goes off.
But the reckless driver will get a lighter penalty as the idiot with the gun.

How about applying the same standards to both?

Yeah, SoCal drivers, particularly in L.A., are terrible (most having mastered the left hand turn from the right hand lane amongst other vices).

I’m not sure what drives the utter obliviousness of L.A. drivers to other cars sharing the road with them, but I theorize it stems from some sort of ingrained entitlement mentality.

He’d be right. The express in Atlanta was one of the scariest I ever was on. People there will NOT let you over.

Oh man, could I write volumes and volumes on this. Alas, I’m on my iPhone at the pool. So I’ll keep it to the first (not necessarily most) Ill-mannered driving style/habit that pops into my head.

Why do so many people not turn left at an intersection after the light turns red? You know the ones. They were the first car to not make the green arrow, but instead of pulling forward in the intersection, possibly to turn during a gap in the oncoming traffic, they sit blythely by as the light cycle runs its course.

Only after they get a green arrow will they make the turn.

I ask you: Are you THAT driver?

Your comments are contradictory. ‘I hate drivers that refuse to follow the law’. Anyone with a drivers license knows how to complete a lane change legally and safely. Then you explain about pushing someone into road rage because you cut them off but ‘they’ need to chill.
