Things you wish the other driver could hear, v3.0

I was inside the traffic circle, and I had preference.

You can wait, no need to try and push into the circle.

I was forced to let someone in like that the other day. And there really was no need, as the lane he WAS in was moving faster.

So I changed over, got ahead of him, then returned to the original laneā€¦ properly, mind youā€¦ in front of him.

Guess who got to wave?

No, it is not okay to sniff my exhaust fumes in your biggencar.

Slow car in front, trying to overtake two trucks. And Iā€™m stuck behind the slow-moving car.

stupidity knows no bounds, especially when driving a biggencarā€¦

(I understand that this might not make sense if you live in a country with three-phase traffic lights)

No. No you cannot go now. You cannot beep your horn at me now. Just because the light is nearly green does not mean I am going to rock over the stop line just so you have more room to accelerate your penis enhancer. I know the yellow light is on, but so is the red one. That still means stop, dickweed.

5 lane highway

Am stuck in the 4th lane. Solid traffic to my left. Solid traffic to my right.

Ahead a gap of 200m - and Iā€™m cruisinā€™ at a relaxed speed (all the better to make an emergency stop should somebody try to cut into the open lane in front of me).

Cue biggenvan sniffinā€™ my ass, yo
And flashing them blinkenlightsā€¦

No way am I going to make way for you pal, traffic is solid all over the place, and I cannot just stop and move into another lane.

Itā€™s obvious you put a lot of money into your car. Nice paint job, got the body lifted, and teeny-tiny wheels. Congratulations, youā€™ve made your car look like a Tinker Toy.

You know when theyā€™ve achieved their dreams when their car looks like something that Hot Wheels would sell in a box that uses the word awesome at least twice on the front.

Get off your cellphone and concentrate on the road, and stay in your own lane as well.

This! So much this! I was almost sideswiped three times by the same guy yesterday simply because he wasnā€™t paying enough attention to realize there were slight curves in the road. So he kept drifting from lane to lane. Finally I just held my breath and barreled past him. This is another reason I am happy i have my gas-guzzling Durango. Bad on gas, but intimidating and good in case of an accident. :grin:

My gas-guzzling, Hemi-powered Jeep is able to get past idiots in a hurry. :wink:

Honk when the front of your hood is right next to their door. That little wake up call scares the carp out of them.

I saw a commercial/PSA the other day, I think it may have been mixed in with the previews at the movie theater, but the actual video was a homemade iPhone cap pulled from YouTube.
Anyway, it was two dudes in a car, the passenger is recording, the driver has his eyes glued to his phone screen.
The passenger starts yelling, almost screaming, like theyā€™re fixing to drive off a cliff or into a brick wall. They werenā€™t. He was just fscking with the driver to make a point.
The driver freaks out, probably crapped a brick. The phone flies out of his hands, almost out the window, and looks like it bounces into the back seat area.
Driver goes "Dude, why you do that to me?!? You made me drop my phone!"
Passenger says something like, ā€œWell, maybe you should be watching the road, since youā€™re supposed to be driving.ā€

I left it out of the review, but looking down at a cell phone is what causes Stephen Strange to get into the car accident that ruins his hands and thatā€™s the PSA thatā€™s at the end of the credits. Iā€™m watching this part and I suddenly realized heā€™s been looking down at his phone for over five seconds and he was shown driving fast on a winding mountain/hilly road ten seconds before that.

They didnā€™t show he came to a straight stretch where he might be able to get away with it. The guy got more interested in what was on his phone (which patient he was going to select to treat) than he was in driving, bumps a car and goes off the road into a shallow bay, nose first.

Or the other driver gets so enraged that he does a road rage number on you.

Nah, not gonna battle with stupid. Let somebody else deal with that. Iā€™ll just pass the person at the first, best, safe opportunity then try to leave that person far, far behind.

Interesting coincidenceā€¦ If it was at the movies that I saw the video, it was when I went to see that movie, since that is the most recent one Iā€™ve seen.

Wasnā€™t that term coined by someone associated with AAA, who later stated that they wished they could retract the article, because the term was being thrown around or was inaccurate or something?

Anyway, they can get mad all they want, but they have abandoned situational awareness, so I have little pity for them. Iā€™ve seen some true morons on the freeways.

Just the clarify, the PSA was a sentence or two in the credits along the lines of ā€œdonā€™t text and driveā€.

Iā€™ve always had a problem with that term. It means that I have an excuse for bad behaviour or even assault because there is a known ā€œconditionā€ that legitimises what Iā€™ve done.
Letā€™s just call it what it is.
If you attack someone then itā€™s assault.
If you flip someone off or other similar actions then you are being rude and arrogant.

Agreed and agreed.

I used the term ā€œroad rageā€ to encompass the whole thing, from flipping the bird to pointing a firearm to actually climb out of your car with a baseball batā€¦

From now on Iā€™ll call a spade a spade :slight_smile:

The whole point of the E-ZPass Only lane is so that you donā€™t have to stop. So why the hell are you stopping!?
