Road Rage!! *The freeway is not a race track. If you want to race, there are actual race tracks and groups that you may join. Starting new ones might even be lucrative to some enterprising individual.
*I have the right to exist, and to drive on this street. All of our taxes pay for this convenience. I am not trespassing just because I am in front of you. I am not an inconvenience because I am driving the speed limit & not rapidly changing lanes. *If you would like to make a left turn, please move entirely into the left turn lane. Please do not only put your left wheels into the left turn lane. PLease do not block the oncoming lane while you wait for a chance to turn or for pedestrians to cross the street. *I am sorry if you missed your turn, but please do not stop in the middle of a highway and wait for a chance to cross a bunch of sets of double yellow lines. They are not there because we want to inconvenience you, they are there because it is not a safe place to make a turn. *Driving is a dangerous thing. If you want to risk your life, please try something like climbing Everest or smoking crack. I have no desire for you to risk my life. *Motorcycles--the lines in the middle of streets are not actually lanes just for you. If traffic is stopped, then by all means, go ahead & go between the cars. But 80 miles per hour is not "stopped." And please don't use the above stated dangerous act as a reason for needing "short pipes." *Hazard lights do not turn wherever you are into a parking space. *Pedestrians--Having the right of way does not equal having a magic bubble that will protect you from cars running you over. I would feel bad if my insurance rates went up, but you would also feel bad if you could never walk again. Please look before crossing into the street--not because it is what they tell you to do, but so that person who texts while they drive doesn't hit you. feel free to argue/expand...

Forgive me Father for I have sinned Not that I am any better, but it is strange. Driving is such a convenience, we sit in our private vehicles, traveling rapidly across huge distances. We are all going in the same direction, enjoying the same conveniences. We are partners in the benefits of this joyful innovation of human genius. Why do we act like it's a competition or a battle?

sounds like you've been driving the same streets I've been driving...
The new construction around the lake has reached a fever pitch it's driving me bananas... fortunately, you and I seem to be the rational drivers space whereas all these other idiots never should've got out of bed!  A working class Hero is something to be ~ Lennon |

Not just the construction, but I drove by there a month or so ago, and the smell of fertilizer was overwhelming!!  My Legacy

If I am going to slowly for you, pass me on the left when it is safe to do so, and please wait until you have fully passed me before you get back in my lane. My Legacy

*Blinkers are for indicating which direction you plan to go in half a block, and are a request that you accommodate this request. They are not to say "ha! cut ya off, fucker!" My Legacy

*The left lane is for passing, please don't make such an effort to get there, then travel 10 MPH below the speed limit. My Legacy

Lawd, don't even get me started on road rage!
My commute this week has been HELL because of traffic accidents. Don't get me wrong, I feel for those hurt in them, but damn. If it's storming during the morning commute, it's best to not cut off the 18 wheeler behind you then slam on your brakes causing the driver to slam on his brakes in an attempt not to crush you, causing him to flip his rig, then forcing the closure of the primary road that a couple thousand drivers use to get to work in the morning.  I'm firmly planted in denial |

*Old people. One of the recent developments in the last 50 years of driving involves looking before doing things like changing lanes and backing up out of your driveway into traffic. My Legacy

THAT GOES FOR TEXTING TOO, DUMBASSES ** DO NOT TAILGATE. THIS IS VERY, VERY DANGEROUS AND STUPID. BACK THE FUCK OFF OF ME!!! DO IT!!!!! AND STAY THE FUCK BACK!!!!! i will POP your stupid ass if you involve me in an accident just because you are too fucking stupid to breathe and ram into the back of my car because we all have to stop and you didn't leave enough room. I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN AND KILL YOU!!!!! *** USE your signals, you idiot motherfuckers. just do it because it is the LAW since you are too stupid to understand why it matters!!!! ** do NOT merge into my lane WHILE I AM DRIVING IN IT!!!!! YOU ALMOST RAN ME OFF THE ROAD YOU FUCKWAD WASTE OF OXYGEN. there is nothing i hate more than stupid, dangerous, cellphone talking, texting drivers.

Forgive me Father for I have sinned  i take the freeway to work every day now, and every. single. day. there is something too stupid, too dangerous to even believe happening out there. it is terrifying. i handle personal injury files and 80% of the motor vehicle collisions are caused by people who just aren't paying attention.

okay i want to apologize for my outburst up there. i read what i typed and see it might be worded a little bit too strongly. thanks for listening | |

I fucking hate driving. I'm taking the train starting tomorrow. Chicago is the only city I know that has four or five construction projects going at the same time.
And birdie, I agree with everything you said. It is some selfish arrogant assholes on the road. | |

it might seem nasty, but people die every day out there! Driving is serious business. I seriously think it should be more regulated. Imagine a commercial pilot cutting off another plane so he can land first. It's insane out there, and you are right, every single day people do completely unbelievable stupid shit out there. You think you can't be amazed, and every day you're amazed by the thoughtlessness. Lately I am seeing people not even stop for red lights. My Legacy

shit...and when someone is dead from another person's stupidity? fuck that!
*turn signals,...one of the few things on your car you DIDN'T have to pay extra for so feel free to use them *get off my fucking ass! *seriously...I have a child in my car and if you kill him, you had better HOPE I am dead too because I will be jumping out to rip you a new one otherwise. *you can't make a left turn from the right lane. conversely, you cannot make a right turn from the left lane. you might be a fucking retard if you cannot understand this super basic concept. *people who cut you off to brake at the stopped traffic ahead of you. yeah...you make your mother proud....NOT! *smh* nowhere is it more obvious that common sense is rare than when you are driving. | |

my close calls.. are getting too damn close!! one of these days there is going to be too many stupid people around me doing the same stupid shit at the same time and i won't make it out!!! 2 days in a row.. someone has run a RED light or a stop sign and pulled out in front of me.. and i'm moving at over 50 miles an hour!! and instead of accelerating.. just dawdled along like i wasn't coming up on them at 50+ miles an hour!!! and like they didn't wait til i was 50 feet from them to do it!!
thankfully it was not raining!!  'why y'all trying to say goodbye? I didn't go anywhere, I'm right here, im all around you,always..'
in a line from my dream, I heard a voice and saw a silhouette in a chair.. | |

hell I basically learned to drive in Minnesota so I can skid with the best of them. The I perfected my skills in my home state of NYC...if you can make it there, you really can make it anywhere. I have driven in the unholy trinity-Chicago, Miami, and Atlanta! And I have survived  *cleans brown stuff off back of pants* I've seen some stupid ass shit on the road. I thank God daily that he has given me an idiot radar device (and also a cop alert), otherwise my ass would probably be dead from some of the things people have caused around me.
you know what really burns my britches though....people that will not pull up to the white line. Er...why are you 2 car lengths away from that line. Pull the fuck up! Oh and people who block intersections. That's such a brilliant idea. Why didn't I think of it? Oh yeah, because I'm not a fucking retard  | |

Add to that, if you want to join the road as a bicyclist and you want to be respected, that means you have to follow the rules of the road as the other vehicles. That means when the light is red, you stop. It doesn't mean go just because you are on a bicycle. The same applies at the stop sign. At least take a mini-pause, look around so you don't get smashed, and not just drive through. Ok...continue... "Funkyslsistah… you ain't funky at all, you just a little ol' prude"!

Is it weird that I don't even honk at someone if they cut me off.
