I dont know what the hell has happend over the past few weeks, but the number of idiotic, careless, and inept drivers seems to have spiked. L.L.S. - More commonly known as Left Lane Syndrome - the driver of a vehicle, usually a high end German luxury car or a run down POS, crusies at or just above the speed limit like they own the road in the leftmost, fastest, lane. Seriously! WTF is wrong with these people? I do not endorse nor do I practice :rofl: speeding. The fact of the matter is these idiots think the have the "right" to hang out in the left lane and cause traffic problems for every other person on the road. Even though the sign says "Slower traffic keep right". I love driving in Europe where drivers have the ability to recognize other's needs and get the fuck out of the way. I have driven all over southern Germany on the Autobahns. Cars doing 55 and cars doing 155, yet it all seems to flow smoothly. I have driven in downtown Paris in rush hour (makes Atlanta look like Friendship road at 3 AM). I say if you are caught with L.L.S. we take your car and give you a moped!!! Merging - Another concept that is seemingly lost on the masses. There are signs, there are road markings, but noooo.... they must zoom down to after the lane has merged and continue to attempt at getting one more car length in front because you know that car lenght will save them lots of time on their commute. :squint: I take a small part of 285W from 85 to PIB(141), every morning I watch the fucktards zoom out of line behind me, drive past the "Lane Ends, Merge Left" sign and fuck up the flow of traffic as they cut people off after the lane is long gone. These folks deserve the tickets that the cops are giving other people. Parking - the simplest of driving skills. It is like coloring. Remember when you were a kid and even your parents lauged at you for coloring outside the lines? If you park poorly, all the world is laughing at you. Ever seen the Family Guy episode that has the skit about Tetris? You are that guy. I contend that part of being allowed to drive a vehicle should require drivers to play a certain number of levels of Tetris. if you cant play Tetris, you should not be driving a 5000 pound SUV. Bad parkers should have to pay into a fund that good parkers can access to fix the paint chips on our cars caused by the idiots who cant park and ding my paint with their car door. [/rant]:unamused: Please return to your regularly scheduled post whoredom. :ddirty:
^^^ Add people who block intersections and people who are too bitchy to let you out in traffic and you pretty much nailed it.
I'm legendary for my inability to park. However, I've never parked too close to another car - I just don't really get straight into the lines. At physical therapy a few days ago, I came out to my car being sandwiched in its "COMPACT CAR ONLY" parking spot by an Excursion who had decided to double park, taking up most of my spot and all of their own. You bet I dinged the shit out of their door :unamused:
i think its related to the weather...people's driving ability seems to be the inverse of the temperature. for me, i'm scared to death of parking lots. so far in the past 2 years i've been hit 3 times with me sitting parked and not moving.
Great rant and I cannot agree enough.. Please add the people that need to get into the turning lane but can't fit so they stop and wait for traffic to get moving!! AHHHH!!!! Keep going, do a u-turn!!!! GEEEEEZ for fu*k sake!! I see this way too often and I can't stand it! Merging is the one that bothers me the most....if everyone drives the same route on the way home from work every single freaking day, you would think they would observe and see what the best solution is...if you know there is traffic merging into the right lane then stay in the far left and you won't get caught up in it!! I see this all the time at 85/s on the peachtree street exit...people get off at monroe and its always backed up..so if everyone not needing to get off at monroe stay in the left hand lane, the world would be a much better place...I also see this at 316 heading towards lawrenceville....k..thats my addition..again, great rant! lol
people suck...that's why I created this thread. http://www.wrxatlanta.com/forums/showthread.php?p=322905#post322905
