    LOL.. I thought it was just me that noticed bad driver trends. It seems whenever I talk to other drivers about it, they give me that look as if I am crazy. But here is my list:

    Priuses, Buicks, Mercurys, Lincolns. (The last three are traditionally old people's cars).

    White work vans and the speed is inversly proportional to the number of ladders on the top. More the ladders, the slower they go.

    People out of state in the state you are in.

    Two colors, regardless of the make of the car. Dark Green (pine, hunter) and dark red (marroon). I don't know what it is, I always seem to be bumping the bumper of anyone in those two colors. If there is a line of cars, the lead car is more likely to one of those two colors.

    So, if I am behind a marroon prius with an old driver, that person already has 3 strikes against them. I can almost guarantee I will not see anything north of 50.

    The vans with the ladders also have a proportional number of mexicans in them. Now those guys can throw siding on an entire house within a day, maybe two. And they only need what's in that van to do it.

    Prius's don't carry ladders, but they do have bike racks. I dunno about them, though. Saw two today, one was fast, one was slow.

    That's funny! I got in a long line of traffic going extremely slow last night for some unknown reason. 10 mph below the speed limit and when it finally broke loose after about 10 miles it was a maroon ford taurus with a dark green blazer behind him that was holding everything up for nothing! :biggrin_25510:

    Worst drivers car?

    Easy.

    Any (ANY) vehicle that my ex-wife drives, multiplied by the fact my oldest daughter sometimes drives them.

    :biggrin_2559:Ebola Guy.... I'm with you on those colors.

    I'm thinking these vehicles mentioned above were the PITA's who were backing up northbound traffic flow between Baker and Vegas. One in the right lane and one in the left... pacing one another for more than 30 miles running 35 MPH. "They're the only ones on the road" - The standard issue response from the old man. Good grief what a long delay it was.

    I'd have seen if my air horns could drain the tanks faster than they charged.
