It never fails to bring me joy when somebody, unsatisfied by my mere 63 in a 55, rage-passes me only to be in front of me in the line behind the RV going 48 a mile down the road.

The "there's other traffic, might as well stay put" mentality is what causes lines of 10+ cars going 5 under the limit in the passing lane, all following one slow driver.

The alternative is 3 cars simultaneously trying to cut each other off to get into the center lane and illegally pass on the right, existing center-lane traffic be damned The best is when they realize there's actually another slow car in the fast lane and I cruise by them as they all try to get back into the passing lane for the next opportunity.

It's always a legitimate block at the front, though. Two vehicles traveling at the same speed +/- 1/4mph. Not poo poo you can do until that clears when you're 10 cars back. I once got so frustrated with this that, after 40 miles of two vehicles a quarter mile ahead pacing each other and idiots constantly passing back and forth and cutting me off, I passed the whole group on the right shoulder when the road straightened out and I could see it was clear. I must have hit close to 120. Tremendously stupid and dangerous (and I still regret it) but gently caress it felt so good to be out of that mess. As soon as I did it, though, the pacing drivers must have finally realized there was a problem, moved out of the way and the clot broke up.

I did about 80 miles of this in Oregon last summer (between Bend and Burns). Anyone that owns an RV can gently caress off forever. You know they're way past retirement age because no one else can afford those freighters, so not only are they big and slow by their nature, they're being operated by some senile piece of poo poo already predisposed to meandering 20 mph under the limit.

People get out of their honda CRV and jump into a 34 foot rental winnabego and take off into the mountains doing 65kph scaring the gently caress out of themselves around every corner, and then stopping in the middle of the highway 30 times to take 30 god drat pictures of 30 stupid loving goats and the cops sit in the rare passing lanes taxing anybody doing 120kph trying to get past the goober who's now doing 115 now that the road widened up to 2 lanes.

We used to do the alcan every summer back in the 80's and I've wanted to do it at least once as an adult, but I can't imagine how painful it is these days as I assume the traffic density has only gone up.

They just finished the year round highway from Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk, and i can guarantee you won't run into traffic on that. I'd love to drive up to the Arctic Ocean one of these days. e: only 3474kms! I probably live well north of most goons.

I was at the Costco waiting in line for gas, and a guy filling up a Westfalia van spilled about a gallon on the ground. Not sure what happened exactly, whether it fell out or he missed the hole, but he sprayed himself pretty good, and it looked like he got some in his eyes. And then he just pulled out and drove off after finishing.

The counterpart to this on a four lane road is when you have the left lane bandit pacing the truck forever, then they barely get far enough ahead for people to start slipping by on the right and one of those people decides to get over and start pacing themselves. xzzy posted:Anyone that owns an RV can gently caress off forever.

A decade+ of driving highway 1 has taught me to pass everything that isn't moving at light speed when the opportunity presents. A car doing 55 in the straight will like do 25 when the road gets twisty for the next 50 loving miles and won't know what a turn out is. Also, there's only 2 passing zones in the 50 miles. Further, I've found that these tourists don't do a good job getting even slower traffic to use a turn out. I'm not advocating tailgating, but when you keep a huge, more than needed for safe operation, following distance that varies a lot, you don't send the signal "I want to pass you" like someone who is a bit more aggressive. Those turn outs only happen a few times, you to really need to get them. You know, unless you want to spend an hour going 30mi. So, yeah, I'll pass you doing 57 in the 55 and catch up the the rv doing 48. The RV will turn out and then I won't have to get by you when you decide every turn needs to be done at 15mph.

I tried coming up with something sillier in north america, best I could do is Prudhoe bay to Key West and that's only 400 miles longer at 5492. But then I guess you have to add the miles to actually get to Tuktoyaktuk or Prudhoe. What's the closest car dealer to Tuktoyaktuk? Fly there, buy something, drive up, and you can finally start your rally!

xzzy posted:What's the closest car dealer to Tuktoyaktuk? Fly there, buy something, drive up, and you can finally start your rally! I think the closest car dealer to Tuktoyaktuk is in Whitehorse, 1,371kms away, roughly 17% of the way to Miami, it might be advisable to do it the other way. e: it's worth noting that Tuktoyaktuk is cut off from the more populated area of the Northwest Territories. To get to it you have to travel 1800kms through the length of the Yukon Territories which has 8 towns it, the largest of which at 25,085 pop which is 86.6 of the urban population in the Yukon. The closest Canadian city to Tuktoyaktuk over 100,000 people is 3360kms, or 47 hours to edmonton, which is nearly halfway to Miami. It's a long rear end road through nothing to nowhere. Which is why it would have minimal traffic. Powershift fucked around with this message at 20:33 on Mar 12, 2018 |

When I have the time and money (and youth, preferably) I want to get about 30 audiobooks and drive from Key West to Fairbanks. I've gone from Tampa, Florida to San Fransisco solo so I know I enjoy that kind of trip. Beats the hell out of driving from Florida to Maine, that's for sure.

I mean, our original concept for Trans Mountain to Tide Water 1 was to drive the Alcan highway, and I was starting to collect spares and figure out packing for the Civic. Then we switched to BC, which made it a lot more pleasant.

I mean, that guy's a stupid dick for doing a hit and run in the first place, but if people are smashing out my windows with mallets I'm driving off too. There are like dozens of witnesses and it's hard to miss a car with that damage. Report it to the cops and move on. If he wants to add a hit and run to his record, that's on him.

Teamwork! Saw a good example of "dude wanting to go fast, not paying attention" on the highway just now. Dude's in fast lane on I-35 already but wants to go faster than the little 4-door coupe ahead of him. So he signals (good on him), pulls out halfway into the other lane and then somehow only then notices the other two lanes are blocked by freight semis before moving back into the fast lane. Like, how the gently caress do you miss a loving 18-wheeler? How tunnelvisioned do you have to be?
