Here's an unsafe place. I'll overtake!

When they get on My bumper I just gradually slow down. It makes em even madder. They always fly around like they got some place to be. When I'm sittin next to them at he next red light, I wave at them. Had one guy do that to Me one day. I found him upside down on the next curve. I did dial 911 for him.

Lunacy is a word that springs to mind here Piky,but another is patience ,and im afraid my boy that there are many who have little or no patience what so ever full stop.To be tail gated is annoying enough,and although part of you wishes that he would sail past you and end up in the ditch,the part of you that knows those thoughts arent right to have stops you in your tracks!but you see they havent a minute,their daily schedule is packed,no time to wait behind an old buffer in a hybrid whatever it is(sorry didnt mean that)he needs to go and get on..but lol to where he more than likey doesnt know himself!it is all done for effect,bravado..and I would more than likely refer to him as a banker or a rosser(if you dont get that last bit just think a little more|)

Hi there P1ke I see them a lot every time I am out in the Car and it really scares me as they are the ones that cause the Accident and get away with it with no scratch it is normally the Innocent ones that get hurt It makes me so angry as there is no need for it they never get there any faster and like you say all that for getting stopped in the end anyway It is scary how they drive today, if I was a Learner driver today I don't think I would go through with it, because even they get cut of, People up their Butt, People being impatient it is awful

Oh, man, yes! And they seem to be taking over! Like speeding like that doesn't cost more at the gas pump too!

Hi P1kef1sh, It is these sort of idiots though that cause accidents and it is always the innocents who are seriously injured or killed. They annoy me but I always laugh when a few minutes later I catch them at the next red light or they are suddenly stuck behind a tractor, it didn't get them very far eh! They can obviously afford to waste all that fuel too by the stop starting instead of going at a consistant safe speed. I see these idiots all the time especially as I have so many country lanes to drive down here and a lot haven't paths either and I worry over pedestrians dog walking or cyclists as they hair round the bends on the other side. Grrr. Ellie :D

hell yes, try going on a country road in ky, snort but over the last few years in Etown where i live, over 100,000 people. the most dangerous thing is idiot drivers with a cell phone glued to their heads and are oblious to anything around them i have seen to many near crashes almost caused by them, they cannot hear or concentrate. Some states have a law about it where you have to at least have them plugged into something on the dash i think, but still people around here think they will die if they dont have that damn cell phone on. Most of the kids use them to either text and just say, " hi what you doing?" they dont care how much money they are wasting on their parents bills, no responsibility has kicked in yet. I do not own one, cant afford one for one thing. Dave and i have discussed other means. If i had one would only be used for an emergency. And i would not answer if i was in traffic, traffic here is hell anytime of the day. You need all of your senses to keep up with whats going on. Lish

Loads of them. They don't bother to observe the speed limit, they never signal and often drive on the path to pass other traffic. A few nights ago someone drove halfway down the road speeding and on the right hand side. I find it amazing that there are not more accidents here.

Hi p1, I don't drive and same situations around are very common..It seems they always hurry and take whatever it is just to take over...I do know, hope these people will learn some lesson!

In the dominican republic there are no lines on the roads and the traffic signs are never EVER observed. They don't even have things like stop lights. So down there the person in the biggest vehicle or who has the biggest balls gets to go. I lost count on the drive from the airport of how many idiots were on those roads.

LOL - good on you for holding your ground P1ke. I see idiots on the road all the time. The most fun one I remember was years ago when I was still in high school. My father had just come home with his brand new 1964 Pontiac Bonneville. Later that night we had to take some friends home. The road we took was long, straight and flat. At a stoplight a brand spanking new GTO pulled up beside us and revved his engine. Dad just smiled. When the light changed he hit the gas hard and shot across the intersection, the GTO was also going hell bent for leather and shot past us. Dad slowed and at the next light, there's the GTO again. Same thing and off the GTO shot. Now the lights are syncronized and this little scenario played itself out about a half dozen times. As we approaced the 'last' light there was the GTO again. Dad slowed right down and turned to the car and smiled and smiled but this time revved his engine. Only the GTO wasn't going anywhere! There was steam coming from under the hood and the driver was banging his head on the steering wheel! So much for muscle cars! ROFL I've included a pic of a 1964 Bonneville similar to Dad's only his was two tone blue.

Hi p1ke what a stupid boy..haven't been in a car of recent that has had any idiots behind or infront of them, but was in my sons car last year and the exact same thing happened to him..what amazes me is though these stupid boy racers go full steam ahead people going the normal speed aormally always catchup with them...it makes you wonder what they must think cos they never seem to get anywhere faster than anyone else...littleowl

People drive like that over there too? A little one-upmanship here. I was traveling in a construction zone with only one lane open each way, speed limit 40mph. A loaded 18 wheeler approached me from behind and kept blowing his horn. I'll admit there was a good bit of space between me and the next group of cars ahead, but I was going 40, and I wasn't going to break the speed limit in a construction zone. He road my bumper occasionally blowing his horn for about a mile. I thought if he'd back off just a bit I could see his license, so I reached into my purse and got a pad and pen, looked back in my rear view mirror and he was turning off going through a little town. I guess he thought I was reaching for a cell phone. Yeah! people are crazy! But it makes me madder when a truck driver pulls a stunt like that because my ex husband was a truck driver, and whatever faults he had they didn't pertain to his profession. One of my sons is also a truck driver and fools like that guy give the whole profession a bad name.

Everytime i start to slow my vehicle you hear three little voices coming from the back seat inquiring:" Mommy, whats wrong? Is it an idiot or a moron in front of us?" Note to self: watch my language while driving.

I think I could write the book on idiot drivers! I've just walked in the house in tears after being overtaken at a ridiculous speed by my ex boyfriend (sounds rather pathetic, it's a long and complicated story!) I have no idea why people feel the need to drive unsafely, as, just like in your story they tend to get held up further down the road anyway! A couple of years ago i was driving home from a night out - i hadn't been drinking, i had taken my friend out for the night to cheer her up and promised to drive her there and back so she didn't have to worry about getting home safe, as we got on the dual carriageway and were gaining speed a car came hurtling towards us from behind and before i had time to react he had hit the back of my car and we spun into the crash barrier, this complete ******* then drove off seemingly without a second thought for me and my friend who were then trapped in the car as the rear bodywork had been pushed into the front! Fortunately neither of us were seriously hurt but the roof had to be cut off my car to get us out, was pretty scary! So, there are plenty of idiots on the road out there who are either too impatient to wait or are overcompensating for something through their car! It's a shame because being only 22 i have to pay higher car insurance premiums when actually i am probably a much safer driver than a lot of people who are quite a bit older than me!! Phew rant over!! xx

Sounds as like my step-dad except for the young part. He seems to have the ned for speed and has on a few occassions scared us senseless. I hate riding with him anymore. He will go around people all the time if he thinks they are driving to slow even if they are onl driving a few miles and hour less then him. He also goes so fast that he has to take wide curves on the other side of the road. Not good..Here in Kentucky we have some of the curviest and hilliest roads. It Kenucky was a woman men would never leave..lol

I hope you took note of his car rego and reported him to the police. In Australia he would get charged with negligent driving and driving in a manner dangerous to the public. Possibly speeding as well. It's the only way to stop these guys ....other than coming to an end when they run off the road or into someone else.

thier are alot of idiots and morons like that on the road, they are the ones who end up killing themselves and others too. all because they feel that like is to slow and want to run everyone off the damn road, it happened to me one year while driving down south and i had my children in the car, i ended up hitting those water things they have on the highway. i was so freakin mad, luckly i got his license and the cops caught up with him, i just cant understand where is it that they have to go that jeperdizing someone's life doesnt matter to them.

Where I live, I see idiots on the road all the time. I swear that they were all trained by the same driving instructor. They stay close to the yellow line and often go over it. There are more head-on collisons here than anywhere I've ever lived. (And that includes Houston, Pittsburgh, and St. Pete/Clearwater areas.)

Although my son has done some very bizarre things with motor vehicles, I've found the worst offenders on the road here are young girls! They whizz around in their little tooting cars, often talking on their phones and not using indicators (probably because their indicator hand isn't free because it's busy texting!) Australian laws have recently changed so that young people need 150 hours of driving with L plates and a qualified driver in the car with them. I wish it had happened sooner, before my son was able to get his licence!

Hi p1kef1sh. Yes, here in the U.S., we have plenty of idiots on the road. Almost every time that I go out, I run across at least four or five of them. The ones that I hate to see are when I am on the interstate where the speed limit is already 70 mph in my state, and you will always have one freakin' idiot zipping in and out of lanes, running up on somebody's rear end, then cutting in front of the car in the next lane. You know that they must be traveling at about 80 or 90 mph because they are clear out of sight before you know it. These are the kinds of drivers who will either cause an accident or run into someone and kill them. I hate these drivers!
