    GET
    OUT
    OF
    THE
    LEFT
    LANE
    YOU
    IGNORANT
    FUCK






    If I come up behind you at a higher rate of speed than you are going, and you're in the left lane, whether or not I'm speeding over the limit in that area or not, you are fucking with the wrong person.
    I've seen some sit for miles because they have to make a left 9 MILLION FUCKING LIGHTS UP!!!
    I've seen many that actually try and speed up instead of moving over. I WILL MATCH YOUR SPEED UNTIL MY TRUCK CAN'T PASS YOU... which I don't see many that I can't, they're usually too slow., I love this automatic, probably the best 5spd auto I've ever driven, and once its tuned using my self tuner from ov I'll be passing more of you lol
    I've had at least 5 cars that will speed up after I get behind them and I'll match them for a mile or two, but then I'll cut it... Because I know up ahead... There's a speed trap... Always love to see Metro motors racing past me to get the fucker I egged on :rofl:
    Ya'll need to get a life. Get out of the left lane unless you're passing. And I can tell you I'm not a hypocrite either... If someone is actually coming up behind me faster than I am going, I move over 85% of the time depending on traffic. If I can't its because no matter how fast him or I go, well both get to where we going in the same manner of time.

    Read it. Yeah, pretty much how I feel lol
    I'm telling you, I'm probably going to incorporate a push guard into my plate bumper whenever I get around to doing it.
    Hopefully we implement a new law that they brought up about a year ago, a "Get out of the left lane or be ticketed law", before I have to use my push guard lol

    This was back in the summer of 2016 (I think)...

    I forget where we were going (I think it was up to Maine), but I was with my parents my cousin in my dad's Honda Pilot. We were on the Jersey Turnpike and there was this woman in a red sedan going below the speed limit in the left lane. A New Jersey State Trooper in a marked Crown Vic comes up behind the woman. The cop remains unnoticed for several minutes, finally turns on his lights, and pulls the woman over presumably for being a left lane hog!

    Sometimes this is necessary because some asshats see a blinker and even though there is space for me to merge into the lane they see it as a signal for them to speed up and box me out.

    I hate when people are in the fast lane and right before the exit....maybe a 1/4 mile start to merge where there is no room and end up braking to a crawl across all the lanes so they can exit the freeway.

    Exactly what I do when I'm in my Taco. Being that it's already dinged and armored all around I don't mind the risky drivers around me.

    People who listen to headphones while driving or walking!

    The stupidity of people will never cease to amaze me. Earlier this afternoon, I turned left down the alley in front of the bar where I work and there was a man (probably in his 20s) walking down the middle of the alley in the opposite direction (so he was walking towards my truck). He was looking down at his phone and I could see that he had earbuds in, so I came to a complete stop. This clueless pedestrian continued walking towards my truck with his head hung down. I tooted the horn twice, and he didn't look up. He would have walked directly into the front of my truck if didn't look up. Startled by the sudden presence of the gleaming silver pickup truck he'd been too distracted by his phone to notice, he jumped back ward and put up his hands as if to say "I'm sorry," then walked around my truck on the right side...

    I would have been laughing too hard to be annoyed if the poor bastard had actually walked into my truck!

    About that. My dashcam SD card had to much data on it, and it was rush hour, so without thinking I cleared the SD card because I didn't want to face rush hour traffic without a dashcam...

    Trust me. I'm pissed too.

    This happened somewhere in the range of 2011-2013. I was driving to college along my usual route, and I came to a particularly tricky 4-way intersection. I stopped at the stop sign, and a white late 1990s Honda Accord with three or four teenage boys in it stops at the stop sign to my right. The white Honda was behind another car. That car went, and I proceeded to go, but the little shit in the Honda blew the stop sign. I slammed on my brakes and laid on my horn, and the twatwaffle driving the Honda stopped in the middle of the road once he got through the intersection, hung his head out the window, and flipped me off. I gave him a "Dude! Seriously?" look as I drove through the intersection. Seriously. You run a stop sign, almost hit my truck, and then flip me off when I rightfully beep at you?!?!

    Same goddamn intersection, maybe two years earlier, heading in the opposite direction. This was before I had my driver's license (but had my learner's permit). My mom regularly picked me up from college in the Tacoma (though sometimes it was her 2004 Honda Odyssey) and let me drive home. This was 7 or 8 years ago so I don't remember if I beeped or not (if I did, I had every right to). I don't ever remember if we were in the Tacoma or the Odyssey! There was a lot of traffic, and I waited my turn. As I started to go through the intersection, and older man in a Pontiac G6 barrels through the intersection. Like I said above, I forget whether or not I beeped (I think I did), and this old man driving the Pontiac slows down. He glares at me and points his finger firmly at me, and then he was gone. My mom and I didn't know what to make of that situation, aside from the fact that he was a entitled old fart who thought he was right...

    As many people on TW, I haven't had the best of luck with entitled old farts while driving my Tacoma! In October 2015, an entitled old fart did about $2,200 in damage to my Tacoma!
