This was an abnormal day for me and I had to drive in some places at times I'm normally at work. Is everybody in this state retarded except the members of WAHTF? The rest of you pay attention here: 1. When I am slowing down to get off the highway and you are getting on the highway, accelerate briskly and cross into the traffic land in front of me while I slow down and cross behind you into the exit lane. Do NOT fucking slow down while glancing fearful at me or continue to do this until I almost have a five car pileup behind me because I'm now doing 20 in a traffic lane. 2. Attention shoppers. The south side of the ship canal bridge has not fallen down. When coming into Seattle on the 5 from the north; maintain speed approaching the bridge and once your on the bridge. There is no need to slow do and ascertain the existence of the other half of the bridge. (Every fucking time, day or night!) Trust me on this, if the south side falls down, so will the north side. You'll see it and have time to stop. And last I'd like to know when the Subaru Forrester replaced the Volvo as the intelligent car for incredibly stupid people. Was there a flyer or announcement I missed? It became readily apparent today that the ability of a Forrester driver to properly operate the vehicle is inversely proportional to the number of political stickers on the vehicle. However a single Kerry/Edwards sticker certifies total inability to drive and permanent cranium-rectumitis. (They lost, get over) |
| I hear yea brother, I drive a service van and I can't take it anymore either. Why do people slow down when coming out of the tunnels on I-90 or the viaduct SP? I go from 65 to 50 in the left lane coming out of the tunnel and then they all hit the gas and get back up to 70+ WTF? |

YEAH BUNNY. BUT THIS THREAD WAS ABOUT ACTUAL DRIVERS.........BETWEEN THE CHAUFFER SERVICE AND LATTE DELIVERY BOY (GIBBY) , AS WELL AS THE WAHTF EXCEPTION, I THINK YOU CAN SAFELY FEEL EXCLUDED FROM THE MORON DRIVER GROUP...........UNLESS YOU'VE ADDED A KERRY/EDWARDS STICKER TO IT.

Oh Dear!  All those CAPITAL letters! You're yelling! I think I need to lie down...

The problem with so many WA drivers is that they originally came from somewhere else... This is especially apparent when it snows. It's been a real treat to be off work, not driving a Bus in Traffic, and not driving hardly at all in my personal vehicle. A little boring, perhaps, but I've saved a lot on ga$ and stress!

I feel your pain. Why is it that dumbshits feel like the fast lane on the freeway is for going 50MPH? Why is it that they don't move to a slower lane? WTF is it with morons who think they can "merge" on to a freeway doing 35MPH? Life would be SO MUCH better if people were doing 65-70MPH all the time and knew that you have to be going the SAME SPEED as traffic to merge on a freeway.

Nobody see more suicidal, brain dead drivers than I do. I am a truck driver pulling 53 ft trailer, making local deliveries in mostly residential areas. I can bore you with hundreds of stories but I will not. OK, maybe just one... Day before yesterday some brain dead was trying to play "chicken" with me in, get this, Geo Metro! I was actually looking forward to this thinking that human gene pool would greatly benefit from one fewer Geo Metro driver. To his horror he realized that 85000 lbs, 70ft, 22 wheeled vehicle he was heading straight at does not move over and does not slow down. At the last moment he swerved away and showed me that I am #1. |

True, It took me years to figure out why freeway traffic would slow to a stop, then slowly regain speed. And there was no wreck, cop or stalled car on the side of the road for miles! It was women (sorry ARF ladies), who were in the fast lane and saw their exit 1/4 mile ahead! They will slow put on their blinker and work their way across all four lanes to make that exit. Taking an extra exit and turning around is not in their bag of tricks. First the fast lane slows, brake lights working their way back to stop cars half a mile back. Then the second lane follows, then the third and fourth, until thousands of people are brought to a traffic jam because one woman has no consideration for others. I'll bet they are the same females that hold up a four lane street while they struggle through a u-turn, reversing repeatedly, to get that parking place that is 10 yards closer. (grumble)

| Its easier to make a list of what W WA drivers do right as its (much) smaller. I will say that *in general* WA drivers are far more courteous than other places Ive lived. While I dont disagree w/ anything said here it should also be pointed out that freeway designers in WA are retards! Ramps, as designed and built, are useless. Well designed ramps are long and relatively straight so its easy to see and accel/decel. Well designed freeays are wide and relatively straight and dont include 'S' curves. All of thise along w/ the totally foolish concept of HOV lanes bring traffic to a stand still during rush hrs. |
This especially apparent when they say things like "... Seattle on the 5 from the north..." Note to expatriate Kalipornians/Least Coasters: We say "Eye Five", NOT "THE Five"! |
