The stupid bitchy fuckers who drive right on top of your rear end when you get stuck behind one. gently caress those people, gently caress you. You aren't gonna get the guy to drive any loving faster by driving a foot behind me. Back the gently caress off before you cause a goddamn accident.

it's funny when this happens 10-20 times and the far left-lane becomes the slowest and the second-to-left lane becomes the passing lane

And then someone in the left lane merges right into an suv and there's a giant pileup and baysplosions everywhere. People are loving stupid.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack
I get annoyed when i just want to do the speed limit and save some gas on a long drive, so I stick to the right lane on a six lane freeway and still get tailgated

Lotsa bad intent.
My work vehicle is GPS monitored. It squawks at me if I go 10km/h over the speed limit. It emails supervisors and bosses.

gently caress you cunts that ride my rear end EVERY drat day. I hope you die in a horrible multi-car fiery accident full of other retards that can't leave a reasonably safe following distance.

When people drive slow in the fast lane I tailgate them until they get out of the way because if I wanted to go as slow as a Subaru Outback or whatever then I wouldn't have bought an Acura.

in my state you have to go about 10-20 over to get good gas mileage in most cars on most of the freeways. the speed limits only go up to 70 in bumfuck remote areas.

quote:

Our safety drivers routinely see people weaving in and out of their lanes; we’ve spotted people reading books, and even one playing a trumpet.

quote:

In this case, a cyclist (the light blue box) got a late start across the intersection and narrowly avoided getting hit by a car making a left turn (the purple box entering the intersection) who didn’t see him and had started to move when the light turned green. Our car predicted the cyclist’s behavior (the red path) and did not start moving until the cyclist was safely across the intersection.

quote:

In this image you can see not one, but two cars (the two purple boxes on the left of the green path are the cars you can see in the photo) [b]coming toward us on the wrong side of the median; this happened at night on one of Mountain View’s busiest boulevards.

quote:

A car (the purple box touching the green rectangles with an exclamation mark over it) decided to make a right turn from the lane to our left, cutting sharply across our path. The green rectangles, which we call a “fence,” indicate our car is going to slow down to avoid the car making this crazy turn.

And other times, cars seem to behave as if we’re not there. In the image below, a car in the leftmost turn lane (the purple box with a red fence through it) took the turn wide and cut off our car. In this case, the red fence indicates our car is stopping and avoiding the other vehicle.

i was driving home late at like 2 A.M and there was almost no one on the highway, three lanes. except this one guy in a minivan lane squatting ~70 in the passing lane who i saw drive by at least 3 huge flashing road signs that said "PASSING LANE FOR PASSING ONLY, MOVE OVER". i eventually drove past him and he faded into the rear view mirror. a tiny speck all alone on the highway, still in the fast lane.

You consider 15 over the limit too slow, and you still wanna pass me and then cruise about half a yard in front of me.

I pass people on residential roads all the time when they are going 20 or lower in a 25. I will probably get a ticket for this someday, but I ain't got time to be driving in slow motion.

I also honk a lot and flip people off. Almost daily. It's a personal problem.

I don't care so much on the highway when it's the difference between 50 and 60, but when it's the difference between 15 and 30, it's going to take me literally twice as long to get where I am going.

yeah same. most of the thoroughways through my city are really just residential streets with alternating 2, sometimes 1 lane each and pretty much everyone goes 35 because its miles long and takes loving forever with all the stoplights, if you aren't going at least 5 above the speed limit you get stuck behind every single drat one or when it merges down to 1 lane you'll be stuck behind some pokies still a lot of old people or people not from here go like 20 and it's pretty annoying.

it even passes the police station and ive never seen it patrolled, i guess most city cops don't give a poo poo unless they really see someone blasting through at like 45 or doing something wreckless.

don't really give a poo poo about how fast people go on the highway, just dont be an idiot texting on your phone and drifting between 2 lanes and im ok.
