rehmwa 2 #27 December 22, 2005 wahh, deal with it try driving in Thailand - we have it easy in North America What's worse is carpool lanes - since most people in carpool lanes are solo drivers violating, these ultimate wastelands of usable roadspace are a direct encouragement for lawbreakers. Get rid of all of them and let us drive on all the lanes we paid for. ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hexadecimal 0 #28 December 22, 2005 I hate those fuckers... they usually end up sitting in the left lane going the same speed as the car next to them in the right lane and pretending they don't see you flashing your brights, giving them the finger, and laying on your horn behind them.

But please understand that I'm not an asshat. I have a disease. My mother had LLS, as did my grandfather. Living with LLS is hellish.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites wildcard451 0 #33 December 22, 2005 I almost gave one of those LLS fuckers a love tap on my way up 95N last night. However, being the utter cockmunch that this little twat was, I figured she would most likely lose control and fuck the rest of my night up. Therefore, I had to wait until the van and 18-wheeler passed me on the right, drop in the middle lane, get beside her, honk my horn again to get her attention, and drop a fat middle finger out the car window. If I am coming up on you real fast and you are in the left, I will blink my lights as I approach. Move the fuck over. If you still sit there and clog up the lane after a flash and have made me progress to my horn, do not be surprised if I move on to special driver's ed training, Section 6.9 : Using Handguns While Driving.

But that's not to say I haven't taken it too far in other ways, like messing with the wrong LLS driver a few times, and getting chased 20 miles for my trouble at breakneck speeds and not always on the highway, before I could shake them off.

It's funny because it's such a regional thing. Where I grew up, people were pretty good about getting out of the way of Fire/EMS/Police. I haven't run any in nearby Charlottesville VA, but I hear that the drivers there are awesome: just touch the lights and sirens and it's like the parting of the Red Sea they're moving out of your way so fast. But here, roll up on somebody with your lights and sirens running, and more often than not they MIGHT get out of the way EVENTUALLY, but you'll be sure to get a dirty look for makin' them do it.
