Crazy drivers

GRRR... all Connecticut drivers except myself need to have their licenses revoked

Some b!tch decided I'd cut her off this morning on the interstate because I moved into the center lane to let her pass me on the left at the same time that she got into the center lane to pass me on the right. She sped past me, cut me off, and spent the next couple of miles trying repeatedly to brake-check me and run me off the road

until I managed to fake her out and lose her in traffic.

My only regret is that I had to keep both hands on the wheel, so I couldn't give her the gesture she so richly deserved

Sorry... had to vent...

Other people have said that they're only for animals and small children.......

BUT, that's what my horn's for. We have stupid ones over here too.....

move to the DFW metroplex.. we need more drivers like you!

i firmly believe that anyone who operates a motor vehicle in this area should take an IQ test in addition to the regular state license exam.

Sounds like Lexington Kentucky drivers.........and if it is raining like today, or snowing like it could be tomorrow it's about 50-75% worse. I feel you totally. Important thing is she didnt cause you to have a wreck and you did make it home safely

Atlanta drivers are not bad except during rush hour.

it is like the idiot on the road last night...he rode both lanes blocking me and another driver in the lanes behind him. after i repeatedly beeped at him, he finally moved over in front of me. then suddenly jumped back over in the other lane cutting off the other driver trying to get passed him. dumb a$$

i know the orlando/tampa people can back me up on this one. I-4 is nationally known as one of the most dangerous interstates in the country. if you are not going around 80 mph, you are risking getting yourself killed.

Gimme an excuse to lock and load my 20mm Gatling gun and lay some waste on some of DFW's fine crop of drivers! Eat some depleted uranium!

I had a bus pull out in front of me and stop in the middle of the road while waiting for the left turn lane light to turn green. He blocked two lanes of traffic for a whole stoplight cycle just so he coule turn left eventually.

oh i almost forgot! last monday, i was pulling in the parking garage at school. there was a guy in front of me that saw a parking space that he had to have. so he goes to back up. before i could even get my car in reverse, he backs up into my car!!! my beautiful brand new car has a huge dent and chipped paint on the driver's side of the hood, fender, and bumper. the less than bright driver was like 'i didnt see you behind me' WTF????

I just *had* to bump this thread up when I heard of a car pileup this morning. My boyfriend told me there was a huge pileup on I-35... although I can't remember if he said it involved 13 or 18 cars

Yes. I think I've posted about 5 times previously my wonderful stories on my I-4 experiences. Awful road that is way over capacity. Florida is not known for their drivers (lots of morons and old people who don't know right from left). In the Orlando area, add on the tourists who have no clue where they're going. It's a melting pot for disaster.

As a Tampa resident, I can feel the pain of the I-4 people, and would like to remind everyone what it's like to drive through Malfunction Junction on I-275 at 5:30pm on a Friday...

As a UF student, I have to tell you, the drivers in Gainesville are the worst I've ever seen. Bar none. Even in Manhattan, there are patterns to the driving...in Gainesville, it's every man (or woman) for themselves.

gainesville has gotten worse in the last few years. i went there last summer, and i have never seen it so crowded. and that was the summer. imagine during school time. i was over on university blvd. by UF and i wanted to shoot myself.

I think I have officially become a BAD driver. I've gotten two tickets since october and today I accidentally ran a red light and saw the little box flash.....so I think I'm getting a third!!! AHHHH!!! Luckily they're all photo radar so I can ignore them (yay az law) until I get served...IF they even do it (only 50% of the time...)
