To the idiot in the light blue minivan that passed me this monring on southbound Route 5 just so you could tailgate the car that was in front of me until you turned onto Great Mills Road - you nearly killed at least 4 people. You came within a few feet of hitting the oncoming northbound car - I had to slam on my brakes as you would have never made it past me to get back into the lane otherwise. I hope you don't drive like that with your kids in the back. You should have your license revoked!!

Ugh...someone did that to me last week on 231 right after the Benedict bridge. He passed me and I had to move to the shoulder to avoid him getting in a head on collision with the car in the other lane (the other car did not deserve to get into an accident otherwise I probably would not have given a s*** what happened to him). Once he got in front of me he was stuck behind the 3 cars and truck that were in front of me to begin with until we got to Hughesville

When you are on a very dark back road with no oncoming traffic, turn ON your highbeams!!! People behind you want to be able to see what's in front of you!! Like that deer that you didn't see until the last minute! :whew:

DON'T pull out in front of a lane of traffic and go less than the speed limit!!!

If you are going to miss a turn off, DON'T stop dead in the middle of the highway with your blinker on and try to make the turn!! DO proceed to the next turn off and turn around.

There is NO reason to slow down to 10 mph UNDER the speed limit when you go around a bend in the road!!!!

There is NO reason to apply your brakes on a straight open road if you have no intention of slowing or stopping. NONE!!! I call this, "The Further Adventures of (echo on) BRAKE RIDER....!!!!!" (echo off).

And a very special shout out to the tiny blonde driving the huge white Tahoe. So small was she that she needed a booster seat (ok, guessing here..) and had to be chest up to the steering wheel. Using your SUV as an intimidation machine by tailgating other drivers within 1 foot at highway speed to make them move is reckless, dangerous and illegal. I hope you made lots of time on Rt 95N while the traffic was at an almost standstill.

Ok. done here. Once Thanksgiving comes, all common sense seems to float out the window.


PS. Who wants to come over and give me a neck and shoulder massage ???? I need one now...
good one, but concerning high beams you forgot one. You forgot to tell them that shining your high beams through the car in front of you does not improve their vision.

To the oblivious lady in the dark (was to busy dodging the pin it down as dark blue or black) Chryser 300 on Sat morning about 8-9ish.

Those three lanes Chancellors Run that turn left onto Rt 235 north? They each have a matching lane on 235. Really, no kidding. So, from the middle of those three lanes, you should really go into the middle lane of 235 north.

NOT, I repeat, NOT into the right lane. Chipotle snt open that early, so forcing me almost into their parking lot accomplished nothing except to tick me off. If maybe my car was a small silver of grey anonyomous box. But, no, its red and the size of a freaking bus.

I don't use or will dim my headlights on a skinny divided road like lower 235 (rt 4 to the base gates). But with a full width divide I won't dim them. I have looked and while in the far right lane my lights do not shine into the either lane of on comming traffic.

To the lady in the dark blue Colorado(license plate number withheld because I don't want dodie to yell at me), I really do appreciate you pulling out in front of me like you did from Airport View Drive....I'm not sure you realized there was no one behind me or not(I'm sure not)....The lesson that you taught the child in the carseat of your vehicle will, I'm sure, be used in her/his driving skills when, or more appropriately IF, he/she ever makes it to driving age

btw....I am going to assume that you appreciate the fact that I had my brakes done about 2 months ago, I anticipated your stupidity and my truck was full of tarps....If that was not the case, no one would have had to worry about your child or you driving ever again

God Bless You for that! How true! I also would like to send a shout out to the black Dodge truck that likes to pull out in front of people on Rte 234 and go under the speed limit and LOVES to have 30 cars behind them!!! And literally - there were 30 cars behind this person because I was number 23!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Mr. VW Jetta(personalized plate number withheld for dodie),

I understand that you were in a hurry to get out of WaWa this morning. However, let me help you out a little, if you sit behind me and consistantly honk your horn when you see that it is clear in the right turn lane, the longer I am going to sit there and pretend to text. I have to go across 3 lanes of traffic to get to the light where I have to turn. I'm not going to assume that those people that were in that lane are going to stay there. I am, however, going to assume that those people that were in the thru lane like their vehicles just as much as I like mine.

I hope you have a wonderful holiday in your parents basement where you live and that you enjoy whatever it was that you were after at Best Buy.

1bdz
