I hate people that drive great big trucks but cant drive or park them. If you cant drive them dont buy them.
Just got back from Giant and there was one that "almost" hit the parking hole. The drivers side door was at the end of the white lines, over half of the truck was out in the isle. There was about 4 feet to move up in the space.

One thing I hate is when I leave the walmart, there is a merge lane to Merge into traffic and some people do not know how to use it. They sit and wait until no cars are there and then pull out into the merge lane. If they want to sit and wait until no traffic, then let them sit at the end of the merge lane so that people who know how to drive can merge into traffic.

If YOU aren't in a rush, then there's a lane for you, and it's on the right. You can drive there just as relaxed and calm as you like, while the others zoom by in the *passing* lane.
I go a little faster because I spend three hours driving every day, and I don't want it to be *four*. My home will still be there, but I want to be IN it and enjoy it. I get about 4 hours before bed, and I'd like for none of them to be spent driving.

Try the dayum bridge every night. Some azzhole always wants to slow down to 35mph everytime they hit the Solomons Bridge. Of course at 4pm it's instant traffic jam.RoseRed said:There was a woman in the fast lane that would NOT even go the speed limit or change friggin lanes. I had to wait for the fully loaded dump truck in the slow lane to get up to speed so I could pass her. Friggin

I have come to the conclusion that people need to be aware that it isn't called the fast lane anymore, but rather the PASSING lane. Morons tend to get out there and say, "Oh, I'm going fast!" when they are going 2 miles over the speed limit. If we start hammering it in that it is the PASSING lane, then maybe people will get out there only when they are passing someone.
Ehhh....who am I kidding. :shrug:

I know I've talked with drivers who seem to think that both lanes are for going whatever speed you please.
Part of the problem is road congestion and design. For example - we have a main artery that goes up through the county. As a consequence most of the retail outlets are on it. Now it would be SMART to have built access roads to channel the traffic. We're slowly getting that, but one of the reasons people remain in the passing lane is, they're tired of having to move over for every idiot who pulls out from the right side going slow. There's NO merge area whatsover, so people pull into traffic about 5-10 mph.
A reaction to the left lane folks is the two-lane cross, to make a turn. It can be nearly impossible to get into the left lane when you do want to make a turn, that way too many people fly across two or more lanes to get into the turn lane, at the last minute.
Southern Maryland Drag Race = two cars, side-by-side, going 10mph below the speed limit.

Let me say this about that: If you are driving too slowly in the left lane then it is you who is the one who is driving stupidly - if not illegally. It is you yourself putting you and your family in danger. Not the people who won't cater to your assinine and selfish driving habits. There's a WHOLE LANE for people like you. It's on the right. Use it. Whenever I'm not passing someone, and whenever I'm not making a left turn, I'm in the RIGHT LANE.
If all the nice slow-driving people like you would stay your asses in the right lane where you belong, traffic would flow very nicely, there would be no road rage, and highway fatality would drop significantly.
I always find those aggressive driving "crackdowns" to be a complete waste of time and resources, because once again they're treating the symptoms... not the problem.
And just to put your mind at ease, I have since moved 3000 miles away from Southern Maryland. So you and your family are quite safe from the likes of me.
(And drivers here are courteous and stay in the right lane unless they're passing or turning left. I live and work in a Big City now, and I've been in one - count it, ONE - traffic jam.)
