    why do some drivers feel then need to pull out in front of me when i am the only truck/car coming down the road? i swear no other cars are behind me and they are going the same way down the street. So why you cannot wait 10-15 more seconds? it just irritates the @#%! out of me.

    I think all drivers hate that, especially when the moron doesn't seem to have the ability to press on the skinny pedal. If you're gonna pull out in front of me at least floor it. Neither my Pete nor my Ford dually stop on a dime.

    It's funny to me that they will risk their life to save 5 or 10 seconds of time. That's like the one's that will haul *** to pass you and then cut you off to take an exit ramp.

    ANymore, it is the trucks that do that to me...............I just hang back, wait until it is safe and pass them.

    Then I run along at whatever the speed limit is and if they tailgate me, I slow down a little and then run the speed limit. This forces them to back off a little.

    If they tailgate me again, I'll do it again and pick up the phone and call 911.

    If they don't tailgate then we know they are good drivers who made a mistake and all is well.

    I'm thinking of getting a CB to put in the BroncoII so I can tell them how I feel.

    Around home its the school bus drivers that have got to be the worse. We have 65 mph two lane roads and they will just whip it right out in front of you with a load of kids.

    typical "me first" attitude.............

    i heard it someplace that in our daily lives we have no more control over many things, like our jobs for instance, and even our daily routines that were once so simple, but things have become more complex over the years.

    our vehicles (as i read it), we can control these things, be they cars, mini-vans, motorcycles, etc. we CONTROL these vehicles, not our boss's, not our daily routines, not our families.

    we feel so "released" of the burdens of daily life, but yet we feel violated when someone cuts us off as that person now has come into "our space" of peace and harmony. as a result, we "lash out" at others by doing to them as they do to us. every person that cuts you/me/us off, was cut off several minutes ago, if not several seconds ago, and they feel the need to "get even" for being violated themselves.................

    ME FIRST SYNDROME.................BACK OFF SUCKA.............!!!
