Okay, seriously, just about every time I get on the freeway (Interstate) I find myself thinking that when I get to a computer I have to log onto here and write a rant about idiot drivers. Without fail there's some idiot merging while they are in their own little world. My favorite are the on-ramp/off-ramp lanes that run together. Here I'm trying to exit the damn freeway while some Xanax-addled moron is taking their time to merge onto the freeway. How someone can casually coast onto the freeway and not match speed is beyond me.
Okay, I have to stop now. I don't want to rant endlessly here.
I also want to do that sometimes! Other times, I angrily mash a button on my climate control system hoping that I can invoke the secret CTC (car to car) guided missiles feature. :mad:. How is it that a driver going only 55 in the fast lane (far left) cant see that the cars in the next two "slower" lanes are whizzing past? What is going on in the mind of a person who, upon coming to a red light with cars already stopped, decides to stop a full car length and a half behind the next car? This sometimes can make the difference between getting stuck in the middle of a "keep clear" intersection and being clear. When its a person in a left turn slot with street sensors, this can cause the arrow not to come on because the car needs to be at the end of the slot to activate them. I HATE THAT SO MUCH!!! Mash the buttons. And WHY do some drivers who are in the far right lane with brisk traffic on a street make a right turn into a driveway of a corner mart, but it takes them 30sec to complete the turn??? Other drivers are forced to brake suddenly because they assume the car will complete the turn before they reach it. In SoCal, there are a lot of east Asian drivers and they are HORRIBLE drivers. They suddenly brake on the freeway, for no reason at all, even when there is no traffic in front of them. On a freeway.
Sometimes, they will lane change (at 10 miles less the speed limit) across all four lanes without signaling. I dont meanone by one, but they start at the onramp, then drift across the lanes without their left signal on, and cross all three lanes to reach the fast lane where they will be responsible for a traffic jam behind them for several miles. Its not just east Asians, but also elderly women and men, and self-centered drivers on cellphones. BTW, it is now illegal to have a phone on your face whilst driving in California. So, I report them
Also, it is illegal to "impede traffic", so many of these road menaces get tickets and/or have their licenses suspended.
