You should come to London if you want to meet scum drivers I ride a bicycle to work and one day I was run off the road deliberatly the passenger leaned out the window laughing If i had a .45 i would have blown the B....... head off it was lucky i wasnt killed

If I could find a Ferret or other small(ish) LAV that did more than 4-5miles per gallon I'd consider using one for commuting to work every day. I don't claim to be faultless (intolerance of slow vehicles in a 60 speed limit especially, also tractors and caravans wherever they are) and a lead right foot ( when my car hits a national speed limit then I consider it my right to hit that limit as soon as possible); I also think that in general I respect other road users space (no tailgating etc) and am a safe driver (brake in good time etc, careful in urban areas -after all I'm a parent as well).
The things I see people do every day, and then I get strange reactions because I hate SUVs and MPVs, yet everyone that drives one of these thinks its the size of a mini and has the speed of an F1 racer - if you don't drive off-road, then why drive a huge FWD truck; and if there's one person in the car why drive an 8-seater bus?

I drive big rig like Henk does I am glad that I don't give in to road rage Back about 5 years ago I had made a delivery of pet food near Denver Colorado I was in the right lane goin back to interstae 70

At the next light I had to make a left turn I was doing the posted speed limit I turned on the left turn signal I see this motorcycle come flyin past me only to stop at the red light

I get over into the left turn lane and stop While waiting for the light to turn green I remember saying to myself,while looking at that fool, "little man do you know how easy it would be for me to crush you?"

trust me guys - I deal with at least 2 a - - holes a day per week on the road as my house is on a busy street & I am the 3rd house down from a 4 way intersection. Every morning I deal with jerks who won't let me out of my own driveway or let me back in when I get home - see they have to make sure they

A. speed up to make it through the green light

or it is

B. the I was here 1st mentality because if I let you out of your driveway I'll be late for work - in the afternoons it is I want to go home so "screw you" and the fact that I won't let you in yours...

:-)

it is what it is.

The parking lot at my high school was equally as bad. I usually waited for about half an hour after school let out to hopefully avoid traffic jams and wrecks. One day I came out to find a dent in both of my 1991 Ranger's doors, a large crack in the windshield, the front bumper bent, and the aluminum plate torn off of the tailgate! That was a little more of my hard-earned (modeling) money that I really didn't want to spend on repairs.

I just don't understand how difficult it is to leave a parking lot without dragging half of it with you! And whoever tore the plate of the back of my truck is just evil, since that couldn't have been done by a car. At least the Ranger made it through two and a half years of that sort of treatment without dying. I did manage to get $1800 for it last week!

Hey, if you guys don't like my driving, stay off the sidewalk!

Hmmmm

Driving a stick.. while using my Cell headset..... Eating a Hamburger and Changing CD's.... Done it....... and didn't hit anyone or thing for that matter..... :-) :-) :-) :-)

A little off topic but hey we tried to keep a 90 yr. old drunk off the road, here's what happened - - -
A friend and I were drinking in one of our local bars and the bartender came up to us and asked if we wouldn't mind driving the old drunk gentlman across the bar home. We looked across the bar and there is this 90 yr. old drunk sure enough. We kinda hedged on an answer but the bartender told us he'd buy tomorrow so we said " ok what the hell "
Well we walk over to the old man and help him off the barstool and tell him we're taking him home and as soon as we let go of him he crashes right to the floor. To make a long story short this old dude hit the floor and the parking lot everytime we let go of him.
Ok we get him in the car , find his house, make our way to the front door , everytime we let go of him he crashes, ring the doorbell and his oldlady answers, and can't thank us enough. She asks us to put him on the couch which we do and then proceed to leave.
Just as we get to the car the old woman on the porch says " Oh boys, boys where's his wheelchair ? "
Thats a joke by the way - Cheyenne

Just come where I live, you'll feel like stopping and pulling out yoru tire iron sometimes :-) :-)
sometimes you need one of these to get by traffic

My favorites are tailgators! people who just have to see how close they can come to the rear of a car at any speed, Well, around here if you rear end a car it's YOUR fault!!! Funny thing too, did you know that when you use your hand brake your brake lights do not come on, Really gets a tailgators attention and if he rear ends you you just say " hey officer he just raced right into the back of my car???" :-)

Cheyenne,

I just read that joke about the old guy. Told it my wife who worked with handicaped people in the past... she crawling on the floor right now laughing that hard her stomach hurts... :-)

Paul

Oh, by the way. That ugly SUV of Porsche is called Cayenne, not Cheyenne what I said before. Hope this makes your day a bit bether

I spent 15 years working on cars for a living.. The best thing I ever saw was a little black box velcroed to the dash.. It was about 2 or 3 inches square, had four buttons on it and a little speaker... Each button was marked.. One was a grenade launcher, a machine gun, a rocket launcher, and another that I just cant remember.. Some one does you wrong on the road, pick the appropriate button.. Was the funniest thing I ever saw
