chuckleslove April 4, 2003 Share chuckleslove Member April 4, 2003 I learned to drive and spent my first 4 years driving in Chicago. Anyone who lives there or has been there knows that people go at least 10 over. Now that I live in Seattle everyone goes the speed limit at most and people will commonly go 5 under. Drives me nuts. I dont do anything to them but I pass them ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatty April 4, 2003 Author Share Fatty GC Founder April 4, 2003 Story behind poll: On my way home from school this evening, I'm behind a lady going 34-35 in a 35. I find myself right up on her, watching her look around, just looking here, there, gazing at everthing. I back off, only to notice the guy behind me up on my with his head roostered, looking around me at the lady in front of me. LOL! So now, this guy starts moving out, so I move right, just to let the lady see that she's creating a line cause cars 3 and 4 have now joined. The guy behind me obviously is voting on the top. Now, we're double yellow going through the winding hills, and I know there's a place to pass down in the valley (still double yellow) so I've got a decision to make cause there's still not going to be a "passing" zone. Guy behind me turns off (rather violently, lol). We're nearing the valley and I go for the fall back, I'm in no rush mode. Funny, but the guy behind me was starting to make me more aggrivated at the lady than I really was to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Bean April 4, 2003 Share Mad Bean Member April 4, 2003 Most of the time I always get behind somebody doing the speed limit or 5 under when I'm in a hurry to get somewhere(usually late for an appointment). Never fails. Now I just try to leave early and just go with the flow. Road rage is contagious. I would have to agree with that. A lot of crazy drivers out there. Just try to avoid them.

Magruter April 4, 2003 Share Magruter Member April 4, 2003 I would have to say number one, it's settling down now that i'm getting older. But back in the day I had severe road rage problems, i've followed people home, stopped people in the middle of street, gotten out of my car, and started bang on someguys window at a stoplight, Scared the crap out of old people (which use to be my favorite), heck i've even been in a fist fight b/c someguy cut me off... Now i just try to laugh and get the other people mad at me, but on the interstate i will use my lights to coax people into getting out of the lefthand lane.

Chief April 4, 2003 Share Chief Member April 4, 2003 I haven't voted yet. I need clarification on the situation. Is the old bat in the right or left lane. If they're in the left lane, and I'm in a I tell the to duck, reach under the seat for signal my desire to pass...failing that, I guess, I remove the obstacle keeping me from achieving interstate nirvana. If they're in the right lane, then it's all good and I can cruise at or near the speed limit. Then again, if it's a semi in the right lane and as I get within 10 feet and there is a substantial speed differential and they still decide that they need to use the next 3 and 1/4 miles to overtake a dumptruck going 66 mph.... The only solution is to press the red button, turning my into and taking care of business that way. My reaction depends on which lane the commie is in.

[VI]ROosTEr April 21, 2003 Share [VI]ROosTEr Member April 21, 2003 Oh, I flip. I normally back off pretty quick if they are doing the speed limit, but 1 mph under, and I am a complete basketcase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwEEziL April 21, 2003 Share dwEEziL Member April 21, 2003 I answered the second option but I try to be respectful and considerate. Normally, I will get real close if I know a potential "passing" opportunity is ahead (I will not pass on a solid line...only when it is legal to pass). If I know I won't have that opportunity, I try to give them their space, at least 2 seconds behind if not 1 car length for every 10 mph I am going. I have had enough tickets so I tend to play it safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Catalyst April 21, 2003 Share Guest Catalyst Guests April 21, 2003 My driving depends on what mood I'm in. If I'm in a laid-back, peaceful mood I won't mind someone going the speed limit. If I'm in a hurry or just anxious I will follow them closely, but I never pass unless they are going five under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGSHaW April 26, 2003 Share BIGSHaW Member April 26, 2003 Man Im getting so p*ssed if some body is driving slower than speed limit...also gotta love those old people who barely peak above the wheel and people who are afraid of their own shadows on the road...brrr Just thinking about it gets me going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
