I'm guessing that if I were driving a Festiva I would have a lot of pent-up anger too.

The amazing thing to me is that the people trying to jump the line of cars don't realize that it was someone just like them that caused everyone to have to slow down in the first place, and they are going to slow it down even more.
Now when people are merging onto the interstate I have no issue letting them in, its something you just have to deal with if you are in the right lane. Of course right now the thing that is really getting my goat is the 5 people who feel they have to run the red light in the Metcalf/I-35/College area, just a real pain in the ass. Of course do you see the cops cracking down on it at all, no... Oh well, still get where I'm going. |

As to the people not merging until the last second, we all learned that lesson in grade school, NO CUTS!
I was in Portland a couple weeks ago and within an hour of landing, saw 3 accidents, one of which occurred directly in front of me. The first two had recently happened as the cops weren't even on the scene yet. The last one was downright funny though. I am heading north on I-5 headed into Vancouver at 4:30 on a Monday afternoon (those who have been there know how silly this was even if it was Memorial Day). I am in the left lane cruising at about 20 MPH in stop and go traffic. The guy in front of me looks down at something on his seat just as the person in front of him hits the brakes. Well, by the time he looks up it is too late to get stopped. Then the hilarity ensues as the young woman in the front car jumps out of the car (remember, they are in the left lane of the highway) and starts just screaming at him: "What the **** is your problem" while jumping up and down. I thought she was going to pull him out of the car or something. Her passenger was hanging out the drivers door looking like she was also going to try to beat on the guy. Finally they get back in the car, pull 1/2 way onto the shoulder and go about their business. Didn't leave me much room to get around but I didn't see any reason for me to stick around. The image of her jumping up and down screaming at the guy was hilarious though, I loved it! |

Hell, I had a guy make an illegal right hand turn onto a 45mph lane pulling into the left lane instead of the right lane and was mad that I swerved around him and I was only doing the speed limit. It was great, he sat behind me flipping me off and then got into a left turn lane and pulled up next to me to start yelling at me. I reached down, turned down the radio, casually rolled down my window, slowly took off my sunglasses and just stared straight past his girlfriend in the passenger and let him finish his rant about me driving to fast, blah, blah, blah and that I should never mess with his car again.
I just stated to him that I was doing the speed limit and that he had forced me to swerve around him because turning into the left lane was illegal. Now, back in those days I had very intense eyes, and the girl friend was staring at me and as he started to reply she completely just cut him off and just said, "DRIVE! JUST DRIVE!". I thought I was going to have to pull over so I could finish laughing. |
