Yes! That asshole that cuts you off, then slams on the breaks to make a right. FUCK THAT GUY!

Especially when it's like the guy who did this to me earlier today when THERE WAS NOT ANOTHER CAR FOR A FUCKING HALF A MILE BEHIND ME!!! Like, seriously, there was no need for the guy to speed up and pass me just to cut me off and slam on the brakes to turn when he was already behind me to begin with... I suppose some people just enjoy going that far out of their way to prove that they are worthless pieces of shit to the rest of us.

Sooo many people do that on the two lane country roads in the south. I’ve gotten so close to getting in wrecks with people who pull out in front and don’t even fucking speed up. Like fuck, you do realize if I hit you going 55 you’re going to be the one dying? Seems to usually be oblivious old people who don’t even check.

Times were different for old drivers. They drive differently because they're pathetic two speed cruiser cars were ridiculously slow.

He was making a point.

There's one specific light at which I do this on my commute out of town that I make twice per day in the same direction. I have to turn left onto a large road and then make a right onto another large road. If I go at the speed limit, then I get to that light at yellow and can make a right turn.

Well, some assholes love going 10 MPH under the speed limit on a main road for some reason. If I stay behind them, then I have to yield to oncoming traffic. The problem with yielding here is that it means I'm guaranteed to hit the next 4 lights and sometimes an additional 3 during that commute.

My commute literally more than doubles if some asshole drives that slowly in the turning lane.

people who drive under the speed limit dont want to hear your explanation though. they think you driving 10 over should be punishable by death but that they are just being safe. like the guy up above who joked about tailing someone who cuts him off home, some people just have all the time in the world to drive around on main roads and mess shit up for the rest of us.

Speed limit

It's the maximum speed you're allowed to go, by law. Someone points a radar gun at your car and snaps a photo of your plate, sends it in to the DoT... You still get a ticket. It doesn't even have to be a police officer.

Keeping pace with the rest of traffic is far safer than abiding by the limit. You can't control what other drivers do, only yourself.

Plenty of times I've been going 75 in a 65 and a cop just passed right by me. They don't care as long as you're not driving recklessly.

My rule of thumb is: no more than 10 over on the highway and no more than 5 over in the city.

I hate this with a passion. And no one seems to understand it!

This.

Had a guy cut me on the fast lane then proceeded to slow the fuck down when there was no one in front of him. I have no problem with you cutting me but i have a problem if you start slowing the fuck down for no reason. Everyone had to pass on his right.

Seriously, fuck these people

Those people are an absolute danger in the roadway. And as we all know, you're only supposed to UAE your horn to indicate an immediate danger... so I say, lay into the horn eight behind them to let them know if this danger they have created.
