twk123 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 The people that cross the double white line from the fast lane into the HOV lane are the worst. I hate going 75 mph in the clear HOV and have some idiot going 3 mph in traffic suddenly merge over and you have to slam the breaks not to hit him. It happens all the time in UT on I-15. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I've been drivin' all night, My hand's wet on the wheel There's a voice in my head That drives my heel It's my baby callin', Says: I need you here And it's a half past four And I'm shifting gear When she is lonely And the longing gets too much She sends a cable Coming in from above Don't need a phone at all We've got a thing that's called Radar Love We've got a wave in the air, Radar Love The radio's playing some forgotten song Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong" The road has got me hypnotized And I'm speeding into a new sunrise When I get lonely, And I'm sure I've had enough She sends her comfort, Comin' in from above Don't need a letter at all We've got a thing that's called Radar Love We've got a line in the sky, Radar Love No more speed, I'm almost there Gotta keep cool now, gotta take care Last car to pass, here I go And the line of cars drove down real slow And the radio played that forgotten song Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong" And the newsman sang his same song One more radar love is gone When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough She sends her comfort, coming in from above We don't need no letter at all We've got a thing that's called Radar Love We've got a line in the sky We've got a thing that's called Radar Love We've got a thing that's called, Radar Love 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paducah Home Theater Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 15 hours ago, Weber said: What do you hate the most about what others do with the car with which they are responsible?...and what is the solution? 1. Being on an on-ramp with a slow driver in front of me and a fast driver behind me. The fast driver will often attempt to pass me before we are even on the interstate. So basically I can't just safely pass the driver in front of me when it is time to do so, I have to watch out for the idiot sling-shotting around me and trying to pass two cars at once even though the car in front of him is trying to get over to pass. 2. Being on a bike and not given any room when somebody passes in a car. It's especially fun when there is a vehicle coming the other direction when they try to pass. 3. Loud pipes. Nobody gives a crap, you're not impressing anybody. I have no solutions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they CONTINUE to leap frog cars one at a time, risking lives and saving virtually NO time on their trip. The obvious and easy solution to stop someone from passing you that way is to speed up to take away their option to merge in front of you. Honk horn and display middle finger for maximum effect if possible. While I'll agree that the situation described above is something I find incredibly irritating, I've wondered why the person leading the snake of cars doesn't pull over and let the rest of us get on with our lives. If you're leading a parade of cars with no one ahead of you, pull over for a cup of coffee or something. The folks behind you will appreciate your generosity.

I just got back from the smokies, we drove on highway 129, aka. the tail of the dragon. dozens and dozens of curves doesn't do it justice, I read somewhere it was 318 curves within 11 miles. Slow people would queue up a line of impatient people, then a motorcycle would jet around them, except there ain't no room to pass, when you get out of one curve you were literally starting another. Bikes would pass anyway, it was ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woofers and Tweeters Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 On a back road, you encounter someone doing a million mile p/h under the sl and you pass them, only then do they pace behind you with their brights on....

Yeah, when young, me too. I just couldn't take following behind someone. I admit I was young and dumb.

Woofers and Tweeters Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 I've ridden with, and seen, people who pace, diagonal, on the Interstate.

-js- Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 yep. to borrow & modify a line - lead, follow or get the @#$% out of the way. now, I must admit I cannot stand people who are inattentive, like has been discussed at length already. the ones who I find the worst are the ones who affect me, usually driving at about the speed limit. you know the ones - you're coming along, cruising freely, well aware of your surroundings, and someone who needs a smack about the head pulls out in front of you, forcing you to slow rapidly and makes no attempt to speed up. it's as if they saw you coming & WANTED to make you mad. it's those people who I have to admit, I do my best to fill their rearview with my grille, and hope they understand. I especially like it when driving the SUV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
