Um . . . FYI, I drive at speed limits in cities, not under, and on the highways, I drive maybe five mph over. But that does not make me a very SLOW driver just because I'm not a reckless speed demon like you.

I have always passed plenty of drivers in my years driving on the freeway.

Naturally he thus blocked the rightmost highway lane for me to enter, while the acceleration lane was getting short. I noticed too late so almost crashed into the barrier or him, could just brake in time. Q: Isn't it his fault?

Yeah...it is. But people will do **** like that. You have to learn to accelerate fast and get over yourself or to brake hard and get behind them. This guy should have let you in or moved over to the left lane. But you are going to have to deal with these people. Young Eastie.

Oh for the love of Mike! You guys measure your speed in kilometers per hour! I've seen nuns on Vespas cruising at better speeds than that! If you were real man you'd try that in miles per hour!

Doesn't Germany have an annual highway death total almost equal to that of the United States, a country 4 times its size?

Usually anywhere from 5-10 miles/hour over the limit, except on highways where I drive between 80-90 mph.

Yes, I'm an aggressive driver. But a very safe one.

Alright Mr. Fun this thread is a jinx! Whilst drive down I-35 today I had the irrepressable idot who didn't check his blind spot nor did he signal. If I hadn't been looking my car would be wrecked right now.

He might not have signaled but I can assure you that I gave him the one finger signal! Only after honking and the wife and him both look around like......whaaa??? How much of an idot do you have to be to ignore the horn?

Actually, I usually look over my shoulder when I change lanes, but it annoys me when people hang in my blind spot. Often, people do this just to annoy... They're in the passing lane, so they should either speed up and pass me or slow down and get out of my blind spot, but instead they just stay there. And yes, I do drive a large car (an '87 Chevy Blazer, to be specific).

Almost got in a wreck last night while looking over my shoulder to check my blind spot. There was a car stopped ahead of me, which I hadn't noticed wasn't moving (stopped dead, thought the hazards were just normal blinkers). If Bunnygrrl hadn't yelled . . .

Why are you in the blind spot in the first place ?! I hate people who sit in my blind spot. You have no business riding in someone's blind spot. You can't assume that everyone will look for you there before changing lanes , yet you still do it. You deserve what you get.

I always look at the spot before changing lanes. If some one is there the turn signal goes on. Then usually the m***erf***er will slowly increase speed making it impossible to switch lanes until he passes me.
