Don't raise your hands. Just hold up your BABY ON BOARD! window hangers.
Are there any rude, arrogant, obnoxious and just plain dangerous drivers here today?

Distracted Driving.

Would you repeat?
And, of course, I am the above-averge to good driver, and the other guy has no driving skills whatsoever.

Can't stand that drivers creep right up to a highway (freeway) on the entrance ramp, instead of waiting for an opening in traffic further back. Do we not understand that it is runway designed to get one's vehicle up to speed BEFORE geting on/to the main highway?
And yes YOU... enetering the highway... YOU have to brake (as necessary) to get on, not ME already on the highway and behind you. Your fancy car buys you ZERO rights and privileges.
Similarly, the turn-signal lever is not just a place to hang your air-freshener or a small garabage receptacle. USE IT!

My grandfather (by previous 'marriage') spoke English as a 2nd language.
He once got the Bronx salute, the bird, the finger from a young lady while both were driving. In perfect English he told her exactly where to stick it.
Stick it in your * * * * * baby!
Cracks (pardon the choice of words) me up to this day.

Sounds like the rants I used to post.
Nowadays I stay in the right lane and let the dufuses (dufesi?) pass on by. I also keep a whole car length space in front of me so I don't have to SLAM on the brakes whenever the nuts in front of me do. And stay out of blind spots so the dummy who cuts me off can do so safely. This saves fuel (hypermiling) and nerves. The TDI is strong and just feathering the clutch will keep the car creeping along in stop'n'go traffic.
However, I am NOT nice to passers on the right. I close up the gap between me and the car in front so they can't get back in.
Same goes on the freeway. Knoxville has 5 lanes to play in. Mr or Ms. Aggressive passes on the right to get 5 cars ahead in the right lane that's closing up. I close in and not let them get back in. Sometimes it works and pisses them off. Too bad.
Being in a Bug has an advantage. Small car, easy to maneuver.

Oh, boy did ya open up a can of bad azz can of worms.
Let's get one thing straight!
SPEED CONTROL!
WTF ARE YOU DOING NOT KEEPING THE SPEED LIMIT?
Or what the hell is wrong with you? You speed up then slow down, then speed up then slow down and no fu-king one in front you.
Dumb azz set your cruise control, it's no longer an option, it's standard equipment on your vehicle.
Do you check your mirrors?
Why on earth are you on the bumper of the car that is in front of you for a half mile, then when I'm just about to pass you, you freaking creep, you cut me off. Sick minded POS!
Boy......, this just started to get my juices flowing!
And another thing........., why on earth you in the far left lane and you know that your exit is coming up, crossing three lanes of traffic to get off at the last second you stupid MF'r.
I can go on forever and tell ya more and I won't, and I don't care if 7 of you delete what I posted, but I must get it out of me.
There are too many people with "EXTREMELY BAD DRIVING HABITS!"
I drive every day, and the more I drive, the more I shake my head, wondering what is going on in your mind, causing you to do stupid things behind the wheel!?!
What would Jesus do?
Pray for them or beat them with a stick???
We all know that the stick will straighten most out, but the few with kinks will go straight to, don't you go there....
I was a professional bus driver.
I've been trained by Greyhound which in my book the worst company that destroyed a good union
but I must say that their training is outstanding on how to take command of the road and always put safety first.
I was good with them, but when I worked for Adirondack Trailways, I perfected my driving skills, if I hit a good patch of road,
I made that bus feel like we was not moving at all, the ride was equivalent to flying.
Not bragging..., but I'm am!
Driving was and is my first love for a job and nothing will never compare to what I love the most.
I've been there and hope to do that when I leave Sanitation.
It will take almost 20 years to correct this driving mess if each state DMV and driving schools train the Greyhound way and you will see a major improvement on how we use the highway and start hitting the pockets of EVERYONE who's currently driving with a $50.00 fee to take a written test and a road test EVERY 4 YEARS and if you fail, it will bump up to $150.00 and if you fail again straight to $500.00. This is the only way to weed the serious and bad driver off the road and make the highways safer.

oooh a man in uniform!!!!!!
Oh Larry I love when "they" brake on the highway for imaginary causes.
A good driver does NOT brake on the highway except in an emergency. It's called looking and planning AHEAD and anticipating road conditions and the stupidity and selfishness of other drivers.
Love it during rush-hour. All lanes are coming to a stop, where are you think you are going Mr.-excessive-testoterone case at full speed weaving and maneuvering? How are you going to be exempt from traffic and the laws of physics, when the rest of us slobs have to deal with it?
As long as there are the few who think they are special, above others and the center of the universe the world will continue to be an ugly place.
oh and if I let you get in front of me, PLEASE hit the gas pedal, fool!
And don't be tailigaiting me when I'm over the speed limit and it's snowing out, and I have left the left land open for you to pass me. BACK OFF! I want a brake-light switch that makes my car look like I'm braking when I'm in fact accelerating, just for those times!
Rant over!

Steve, Oh how I would like to have that same button "brake-light switch that makes my car look like I'm braking when I'm in fact accelerating, just for those times!"
There will be so much fun on the road!
)
And I do agree, "when "they" brake on the highway for imaginary causes." and when we get there......., who got ran over???
Oh you done it.........., and the top of my YDAMF's lists, you want to look at an accident that happen on the opposite side of the road, police and ambulance is there, WHAT IS THERE TO LOOK AT?????
THAT ACCIDENT DOES NOT CONCERN YOU UNLESS THE TIRE OF THAT TRUCK BOUNCE OVER THE RAILING AND COMING INTO YOUR LANE, then you got a right to slow down, otherwise maintain road speed and hear on the news later. D.A.MF's!

GIVE THE MAN A ROUND OF STANDNG APPLAUSE!
It should be illegal to slow dowm to gawk at THE OTHER SIDE of a highway or road.
The best thing that was ever done on Long Island is to build huge medians topped with plants such that you Can't see the eother side. YAY! Ans oncoming SUV's headlights are not in your face.
This morning there was a huge delay. I can see the delay for the side where a truck got wededges under N overPass/bridge, but why must the fools on the other side stop to gawk? Yes in my state(or is it city) commercial vehicles (trucks, buses, MAY NOT BE ON "PARKWAYS" but the may take expressways.

Lane number 2, 70 miles an hour max, 2-second following distance at all times.
You can have the left-most lane for passing. If you think 70 miles an hour is too slow for a public thoroughfare passing through populated areas, you ain't right. Ya need yer head examined, son!
I'll add 5 mph on the way to Lake Tahoe along the open stretches of I-295 but that's IT!

Down here if you use your turnsignals on the freeway to change lanes, others take that as an invitation to cut you off, or to prevent you from changing your lane.
Down here the rule is: "Me First!!!"

Yesterday as I was coming home from work-my mid shift-some bozo in a white jeep almost clipped the rear end of my Lexus as I was turning onto my street-this guy was like a bat out of hell-LATE FOR WORK-well if you hit me-YOU will pay!!!And as I was taking some boxes and trash to the dump-some Lane Jumper was trying to Jump two lanes to try to get to Lowes-he Jumpted as I drove past him--out here folks get into their cars and turn into IDIOTS-can't explain it!Couple night ago going to work and some hurry guy goes flying by me in his huge GMC pickup-OK fine!! you can knock the deer out of the way for me!Usually the big pickups are the SLOW drivers-they creep along forcing you to pass.During deer season they are the carhunters-trying to get a deer by the side of the road.

Actually, I think you are wrong. About waiting, I mean. Yes, the on-ramp is supposed to be used to accelerate and match the speed of the freeway, which means that people on the freeway may have to slow down a tiny bit and let the guy in. If they stop and wait for a break, they'll never be able to accelerate enough to merge safely. Just be a little courteous, you won't be late for work just because a couple of cars merged. And don't start me on people who don't understand how rotaries work either.
Here's a little movie that illustrates my point, not that I expect people to take me (or Goofy) seriously anyway.

My old Mustang had a brake pedal like that. If you hit it lightly the brake lights would come on, but no pad contact was made.
That little quirk came in very handy when racing someone who was right on your tail..

oooh Paulo, very good and valid points.
(See, Trolls? Anyone opposing you is not automatically wrong and doesn't need or deserve to be bullied or reprmanded or called names!)
What I was trying to convey was IF an entering driver is to stop completely, they are better off doing so WAY back on the ramp,not at the point where their bumper is just about to be hit with traffic from drivers already on the freeway/highway.
When traffic is bumper-to-bumper ("rubber-necking") and crawling, there is no need to wait! The cars just merge while creeping on the highway.
Some of our highways are quite old and have VERY short entrance ramps. We don't always have the luxury of not stopping before the merge. As a matter of fact, some entry ramps have red-traffic lights acting as timers so that a 2nd entering vehicle must wait...stopped.. until the first is already on!
To make matters more interesting, there are highway exits just few yard/meters beoynd entrances so traffic is criss-crossing!
I appreciate your input Paulo!

I always wondered what the point of those lights were on the freeway on-ramps. I see them when I go to Southern California. Here in Texas, we generally use the on-ramp to accelerate. I suppose the heavy traffic flow and the overburdened freeway system in California requires the metering lights to keep traffic flowing at a smoother pace.
In our city, many are notorious for driving in the right-hand lane on a 6-lane freeway (3 each direction) for miles and miles. This makes it nearly impossible to enter and exit the freeway. We are the largest city within a 100 mile radius and have all kinds of people from rural areas coming to town for shopping, doctor's appointments, etc. who don't quite know how to drive on a freeway. It makes it quite difficult to get around and causes a good amount of Road Rage here.
We also have many visitors from our neighboring state of New Mexico who seem to have never been taught to drive properly in the first place. The joke is here that if you see someone do something stupid on our streets and freeways, then they probably have a yellow license plate (aka New Mexico plates)!
