Stupid drivers
Tell me about stupid drivers you encounter in your day..
for me, it was last night... the weather wasn't all that great, and everybody was driving at 60-70kmh in a 70 zone. Since everybody driver fast in Quebec, i drove at 80kmh on the left lane because others were going too slow on the right lane. Then this Dodge Ram arrived behind me and kept tailgating me. So after ~1km going faster than all the cars (at 80kmh) of my right, i finally managed to merge into the right lane. Then the Ram floored it.. to tailgate the car that was infront of me... It was damn stressing. |

Some people have a different concept of "until I had room to merge back in". If you see a slot with a three second lead time, pull in, let him pass, and resume passing others.

That's not a stupid driver - that's an asshole.

65 mph is the limit on CA 99, with most people going 5-10 over that. I was in the middle lane with traffic and observed in my rear view mirror a car darting in and out of all lanes. He was coming up quickly in the slow lane and moving into congested traffic. I anticipated that he would probably cut me off and sure enough, did so. He continued is own little road race for about another mile before exiting. In all, he gained about 15 seconds on us all the while putting everyone at risk. Unbelievable idiocy.

Ready for this? I got punched in the face the other day for driving a Yaris. Truck full of 6 guys pulls up next to me and my friend and they talk a bunch of shit. They follow me onto a sidestreet and we get out of the car. Nothing else I could do. I'm not a fighter... I took the punch. I clocked one person when I was a lot younger and lets just say I have the utmost respect for what an adult can do with one punch. I'm not rotting in jail on the account of some kid that decided he wanted to punch me because I drive a little Toyota and might have voted for Obama. In the end I walked up to the truck, leaned in his window, made sure to bleed all over his car and told him to get his friend back in before I changed my mind and stomped his head into the ground. Two of the five in the truck got out and dragged the moron back in and they took off.
At least they didn't hurt my Yaris. |

Hah! I could have kept driving and called the cops, but I wasn't in the mood for an ordeal. I'd rather take 15 minutes of BS and a busted lip than 2 hours with the cops any day of the week.

There has been a few recent cases of deliberate rear end accidents where the driver then got robbed after getting out of the car on a side street. My wife has been instructed not to get out of the car until the cops arrive. Although I practice defensive driving you never know who is going to run into you. Thats why when pulling the trailer with the truck I am always packing heat.

To the O.P.
No offence to ya, but if you are in the left lane and people are tailgating you, that means you have to GTFO from the lane ASAP, no matter what the conditions are. Who knows? His house might be on fire. His pregnant wife might be in trouble. Etc etc. I know you were going over the speed limit to justify the fact that you were already going fast enough on fast lane, but to me, and to most of us, the left lane is a "passing lane," not "fast lane."

Greater Vancouver has been under heavy fog for the past week. I noticed that people are generally not slowing down and even going faster!
Is the fog giving them a feeling of flying blind inside the clouds??? Might not be long before we get the news of a pile-up on Hwy. 99 or along Knight Street!
