Why do people suck at driving, specifically on the freeway?

Question

Over the past few days I have encountered some of the biggest morons on the freeway. Someone tell me why these people still have licenses.

I dont know why it is so hard to understand. If you drive a SUV or TRUCK or any car for that matter, and you drive slowly on the freeway GET THE F**K OUT OF THE FAST LANE!!!!

If you are getting onto the freeway, and driving slow as heII for whatever reason(to save gas or whatever), dont, I REPEAT DONT, cut off others to get into one of the faster lanes... I really dont understand how you people can be so stupid... Your doing 25-30 in ur big truck and u cut into a lane where traffic is moving 65+... and you dont even try to get up to speed, u just sit there slowly execrating.

Oh look, you are driving a van uphill on the freeway, you are now doing 40 in the fast lane, causing everyone behind u to 40... GET IN THE d**n SLOW LANE!!! WOW

sorry, i had to vent

Answer 1

Dude you said a mouthful ,I can't stand that BULL!! How hard is it to just get out of the way? I drive a huge Tahoe and one of my pet peeves is when people think they have to challenge my truck ,and get this they are the ones in a itty bitty Honda/Toyota/KIA/etc ,I'm not trying to race boy ,I'm trying to go home/work/mall/store just move! I don't really care how much gas cost I do about 80mph on the interstate ,and it makes me mad when people get in front of me just to slow down ,if you want to be in front of me make sure you do about 85 to 90mph. Dude you forgot the people that are in the turning lane and wait for the last possible second to "move in" causing us to "stop short" ,oh wait what about the ones that drive all over the place and can't stay in one dang lane. Dude what about the ones trying to show off their weak sound system so they have to drive real close to you so you can hear the "installed - at - home" sound system. Oops! back to the freeway ,when trying to get on the freeway and you can see that you can go straight across to the fast lane ,cause there isn't a soul close by for about a quarter mile so some doofus has to try to speed up to try to pass you ,dude just stay at the speed you were doing so I can finish merging jeez! Sorry folks I had a bad week on the road this week.

Answer 2

I totally understand! It's the most annoying thing ever when you have two cars blocking both lanes and going at EXACTLY the same speed! Or one will start speeding up and rather than getting over, they'll just start slowing down again.

I'm not even driving by myself yet and I already can't stand it!

Answer 3

Because they are F'N idiots, with no common sense, they wouldn't last 2 minutes in Europe.

Answer 4

i agree but i think that we could help end the problem if shooting them was legal. a waste of space is a waste of space. until 25 yrs old you should have to  road test for a whole day and spend a two days with a trucker  before you get a license. after 50th Bd you should have to road test for your license every year, for a full day day, so your true ability can be rated.  perhaps even spend a day in the cab with a trucker the idiots on the road would provide the heart attacks and only the fittest would survive.

Answer 5

I gave you a star for that one.I hate them too! They don't understand what the word "merge" means.They just sorta roll onto the freeway at about 25 or 30 and expect everyone else to bend the laws of time and space to accomodate them.

I think that all prospective new drivers should have to learn on the freeways of L.A. for two weeks before they can get their licence. The survivors get it.

Answer 6

How many nanoseconds of travel time do they cause you?  Slow down folks.  The trip can be as good as the destination.

Answer 7

they didnt see the flim that day on how to drive on freeways...i drive there also man sometimes i wish i had a gun..... read the sign people slower cars to the right,,, you pass on the left... move with the flow of cars dont hold up the flow if your in the left lane and your not passing then your in the wrong lane... you see someone behind you pull over like your supose to so they can pass.....if bumping was only legal

Answer 8

You're right, today's drivers suck.

Going slow in the fast lane is but one example that speaks to the lack of consideration and thought that many drivers exhibit on the road.  

As if that's not enough, they're dumb enough in this day and age of hyper traffic to have sound systems booming, while talking on the cell phone, eating a Big Mac.  It's not enough to control the vehicle while driving defensively in traffic, now they must be entertained as if they're in their living rooms, as well.

A further lack of consideration that attests to how vulgar and reckless American drivers have become is the sad proliferation of inefficient, gas sucking SUVs and Pick-ups used by people who do nothing more than drive from one mall parking lot to the next, with a stop in at a drive-thru.  They actually believe that because their in some tricked out SUV that they can essentially do what they please, at everyone else's expense.  Even when they're driving defensively, they're still wasting fuel and and reducing visibility with their enormous machines for other drivers in more sensible vehicles.

Just had to vent, too.
