    People in RVs who want to keep pace with the vehicle next to them and match their speed. Slow down and give them space because you can't keep your RV in the lane and chances are they are trying to get around you anyway because you are driving a house.

    Semi trucks love to have elephant races on I-95 S in NC and SC. Fucking maddening. We need a right lane only law for trucks (2 lane freeways) Middle and Right for 3 lanes.

    Then contractor d00d whose pulling a trailer and just chilling in the left lane.

    Why does it seem that motorists who drive only 3/4 of the posted limit on freeways have the brightest, most poorly-aimed headlights?

    Or why do automakers insist making headlights the brightness of the sun in the name of safety. Might be safe for the driver, but not oncoming traffic.

    Or these people who think they need their brights anywhere there's fewer street lights - as if a deer is imminent anywhere they drive.

    Our neighborhood has roundabouts instead of 4 way stops, either people are too impatient to slow down and yield to someone already in the roundabout or they have zero idea how it works. Have even seen people go the complete wrong direction in them before lol

    Exactly brother! Maddening.

    It's like, look LEFT as you approach the roundabout so you don't have to stop or slow down if it's clear.

    Here's another good one....


    Left Lane Lagger, doing the speed limit, not passing anyone.

    Move into the center or right lane to pass them.

    They merge right.:duh:

    Well, this makes sense... o_O

    Rolling down the highway at 65, a truck comes up quick behind me and polishes my bumper for a mile. :rolleyes:

    He then takes an exit and accelerates past me on the off ramp. There is a stop sign and a 90 degree corner at the top of the ramp.

    So you blaze up the ramp at 75 just to pile on the brakes in 500 feet?
    :notsure:

    Pretty typical "I'm gonna show you" type of driving. I love the people who pass me and clearly are doing the "I'm gonna show you" - I always mumble to myself "You showed me!" lol

    He could have just passed me, it was an open highway. :crazy:

    He can "show me" all he wants - I'm at a point in life that if someome needs to prove themselves to an old man in an old van that is on them... :jerkoff:

    How is it you are driving for miles on a two lane country road and there's no where for other traffic to get on anywhere and you catch up to another vehicle? It's like they were doing 20mph for the last fifteen minutes.
