Time to start pushing back on no turn signal buttheads !

I am sick & tired of people cutting me off, trying to force their way into my lane at red lights, I'm sick & tired of going through construction zones where there are plenty of warning signs that state two lanes merge into one, then cutting me off nearly causing a wreck , and just people who think you shall yield to them no matter what.

I've lived in Denver, Colorado Springs, St Louis, El Paso, Columbus, GA, Killeen, and now Dallas, and it's all the same; It's not a black/white/brown thing, old-vs-young, gay-vs-straight, male-vs-female, etc, etc. It's an a$$hole thing and I'm sick and tired of it so now I'm going to start pushing back.

After much research, I have armed myself with the sprint booster throttle accelerator (to improve response time from pedal to engine IOT close the gap), the Garmin mini dashcam (God I love this thing), and now I need a solid, front end bumper to complete my defense mechanisms.

I'm hoping one of you all can chime in and direct me to a solid front bumper that doesn't cover the headlights, and must not be a bull bar/brush guard. Maybe something like the pictures below. I'm getting way to old for the Friday follies on I-35 and the rest of the metroplex.....

 

I’m surprised auto manufacturers still put turn signals in cars these days. Nobody uses them anymore. Should be optional equipment lol

 

Almost as bad as people that don't seem to know how to use their gas pedal.

 

Happens everyday here. Someone going 32 in a 45 and then gets mad and flashes lights when people pass them. Unreal.

 

Arguably my biggest driving pet peeve. It's so easy to do and, I don't know, maybe smart to let those around you know which way the giant heavy chunk of metal is headed. Shit pisses me off.

 

Agreed! People just don’t care anymore. It’s all about them. Their agenda is more important. They have to get to their destination first. Also the amount of red light runners these days is CRAZY. Light will be red and 3-4 cars still keep going though. Traffic light cams or not, people just don’t care.

 

Humans are gonna do human shit regardless. Better off figuring out why it makes u upset and work on that, than trying to change people.


ETA: ARB is probably your best bet.

 

Ram em just ram em lol I feel yah .

 

Get the middle bumper on the white taco, full bull bar is the way to go.


Also try a tune instead of the sprint booster I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

I get equally as frustrated with how poorly people drive and how constantly distracted people are, I like to think everyone around me is having the worst day of their lives and if I'm not then I'm winning and things aren’t so bad.

That being said I am also waiting for the day I get rear ended and someone else’s insurance gets to buy me the bumper I’ve always wanted.

 

The classic for me are the freeway mergers that try to merge from an on ramp onto the freeway doing 50 in a 65 where everyone is doing 70. Screws everyone behind them and I guarantee it pisses off the truckers

 

Lol. The best traffic tool is to just chill out.

 

Agree, would be easier to ticket the losers too.

 

Then when you get to a passing zone and attempt to pass them they turn into John Force and speed up to 80 before you can squeeze around them.

 

Remember when you let a person in and they used to wave and say thank you?

Remember when someone used to make a mistake and they’d wave and mouth sorry, now they give you the finger.

 

We have plenty of those in the Silicon Valley. It’s only really gotten bad in the last ten years or so.

Can we talk about the “adults” with fancy name badges that work for tech companies that can’t even look you in the eye or say thank you when you hold the door at Starbucks? That bothers me too.

I just erased two paragraphs worth of crap that’ll probably get this thread locked or a stripe through my name so I digress lol.

 

I'd like to hear it BigAl.

 

A little eye contact or a wave from others goes a long way. That’s really far and few between now days but when people just acknowledge you it feels nice.

 

the problem is cops never do anything about it.

 

people hate each other now. pure evil.

 

I’d have to get a Craigslist computer and create a burner account on here. Haha

Ok maybe its not that bad, but I’m trying to not rag on a place I’m fortunate to live in…I’ve really been trying to practice gratitude and make changes on the things I can control.
