I don't have a lot of experience in other states, but in California if you're going the speed limit (usually 65 mph) on the highway you're going to piss a LOT of people off.

Today on my way to work, I got stuck behind some jerk who felt that it was OK to go 60 mph on the highway. Myself (and the 8 or 9 cars behind me) were happy as hell to be cruising along at 75-85+ mph, and this guy pulls out in front of me (from the slow lane) going like 60. There was no one in front of him that was going any slower, and there was NO fucking reason for him to want to move LEFT! But he did anyways.

Of course, there were people going the same speed as him in the slow lane so the 10 or so of us couldn't pass him on the right (which is technically illegal here in Cali but no one really cares).

After about 5 miles he realized that there was a large Mercedes hanging about 10 feet from his back bumper and he decided to move over so we could pass him.

Are there people like this all over the place, or only on the West coast?

slower traffic stays to the right means those that can not keep up with the speed limit.

When I had my drivers training, one of the more interesting things they taught us was that keeping with the flow of traffic was far more important than precisely obeying posted speed limits. If the traffic is moving at 115km/h on a 100km/h highway, it's actually safer (and less annoying to others)to do the 115km/h rather than travel much slower than most of the traffic. Of course, you have to follow this within reason- if a pack of 2 or 3 cars go whizzing by at 150km/h on a 100km/h road, you don't accelerate just to "keep up with them"...

One guy almost caused a wreck because he was hauling ass, pulled out of one lane of stopped traffic, causing the guy behind him to slam on his brakes since the guy behind couldn't see the stopped traffic in front of the idiot car.

*grr* RANT! RANT! ah...all better.

Just your generic meaningless signature. Mix with 2 quarts water and stir till evenly coated.

As far as motorcycles go though, it's still a pretty nice model.

Assholes that drive, isn't the ones you are referring to. It's women in Volvo Stationcars. I've come to the conclusion that The Volvo Stationcar must have a blind spot when it comes to women. Somewhere between 20 and 50 times they've cut me off as I was trying to pass. And even slowed down afterwards. Then they get the horn (off course) and things starts happening. Either you get the horn back along with six middle fingers from kids and other stuff on the back seat. Or she'll stop completely (Doesn' really take much effort to drop from 5 to 0 mph). If she stops, she sometimes comes up asking "what was that for??". Uuuuw...if assault wasn't illegal I'd open the door really fast and hard on her and yell "BIIIITCH" while accelerating from 0-very much very fast generating so much smoke from the tires that she can't find her car for 10 minutes. And then I'd wait for her to see her angry face afterwards...but never let her pass me (that might result in a war or something)...

What a relief! I'm really starting to like this rants-section!

Now I'll get back to work, doing nothing again :/

I got stuck behind some asshole in a Ford F350 (the one with like 2 or 3 sets of tires in the back) going the speed limit and blocking traffic. Never enough space on the right to pass him because he was going the same f'ing speed as the slow lane (actually about 1/2 MPH faster, as we were overtaking cars at about 1 per mile)

There was a line of like 20+ cars behind him, and I don't know if he's just a dickhead or blind, or what, but I was behind himn for damn near 20 miles before I (very stupidly) passed him on the right, almost causing an accident, but hey, it felt good to be in front of him. =)

strategically aim at gas tank. put it all into a pipe, for aiming. run the wiring into the inside of the vehicle, with safeties and all... if you blow up the tank, they are _going_ off the road.

You could get away with it in the middle of nowhere... (Honest!)

Either that, or hook up a tazer to a wire, put it onto a longass 3/4" dowel, and zap the bastard's car. then, apply usage of favorite LART. (Mine's sharp-pointy objects.)

now remember, if you blow yourself up, not my fault...
