    Trust me, if someone comes close to running me down, they'll end up needing to buy a couple of steer tires. Just sayin'.

    The dumb truck drivers don't know how to use a computer or internet to get on this forum and read this. You have to yank them out of their truck and B slap them. :)

    I use the low gear in parking lots or anywhere walkers could be, sometimes I know people behind me are beating the steering wheel at me but could care less.

    I will not be the person to run over someone.

    Agreed. It's just not safe for me to be putting an address into the GPS or returning a text while I'm driving thru the parking lot in high range.

    They think it makes them look cool, they can't speed on the interstate so they gotta do it in parking lots and construction zones...

    They get all pissed at you going so slow then the first chance they get they come blowing by you stomping it to the floor and snatching gears like they're in a sports car, knowing full well you are gonna pass them again a few miles up the road when they hit that blistering 63 MPH governer....

    Yep saw a drop decker jump out and piss by his door waiting in line at the streakin beacon.

    Another thing I've noticed as of late is that 80% of drivers seem to be out of blinker fluid. I mean surely it can't be that they are too lazy or ignorant to signal a lane change or turn could it?

    Speaking of which. I drive one of those 63mph dragsters, I'm wondering where is the common courtesy now too. If I see a truck struggling to pass me, and they have traffic behind them I back off a couple mph so they can get by a bit quicker, so maybe they are governed at 64-65. I come up on a truck doing 61-62 and try and pass, they don't let off, so I look feel like the jerk holding up traffic trying to get by.
