    Dublin grade too, 580 eastbound everyone slows down around the curve.


    Comming outta the tunnels west bound 24 is the worst. Mother fuckers in the fast lane through the tunnel, now jumping 4 lanes to get onto 13 south.

    Or everyone else braking to do 50mph around the curve :annoyed:



    I still blame 90% of drivers out there following too close, so everyones jumping on their brakes all the time because they dont have enough room in front of them to coast/lose some momentum.

    Have i mentioned that i hate people?


    Even doin 45mph in traffic i leave a nice gap, everyone hits their brakes and i typically just let off the gas for a few seconds before i continue to cruise. (I also usually plant myself behind a half decent truck driver on my commute home because i know *most* of them drive the same way)


    Edit* this picture doesnt make a good point b/c the silver truck next to me had a nice gap. Also bad example because i used my phone while driving to TAKE this photo of the fat chip i had just got on my 4 week old windshield a few moments earlier. Were all hypocrites to an extent i guess lol

    You guys would never make it in Seattle.


    They drive 5 below the limit in all conditions. Always. It's never not infuriating. Worst drivers in the United States of America.*

    Its not the speed that bothers me tbh. 85, 65, whatever, so long as its consistent im content. its the chaos of so many people packed into one place that kills me. The constant lane jumping, people riding exit lanes until the last second, people following so close tapping their brakes every 9 seconds, ect.




    People.
    People get to me.
    Soon ill be in a state with a population of 1.7 million, i hope the stupidity is so spread out it gets to me less lol


    Anyways, blah blah blah


    Fat rock chip in my windshield i had replaced last month (work truck). Dammit

    I’m with you. I leave a gap and let off the throttle when need be, also keep an eye on traffic ahead of the car in front of me so I know to let off sooner if need be. The 24 just sucks. Never understand why people coming out of the tunnel in either direction slow down as the road curves.

    Yep, always watching ahead to see whats coming. I can always tell when the people behind me are not doing the same. I let off the gas and they come speeding up because they didnt see brake lights only to have to get on their brakes hard, probably fucking over the 10 or so people behind them who were doing the same thing. Thus fucking up more traffic.



    Maybe i am the real problem. I should just tailgate everyone at 80mph and tap my brakes whenever i see brake lights.
