Lol bingo!

 

Who said anything about tapping the brakes? These *******s could easily let off the throttle enough to be in line with the other truck. Instead, they try to pass and **SURPRISE** that hill must have come out of nowhere and they don't have the power to get by. Now we're all stuck following both trucks up the hill at significantly reduced speeds.

If you're a truck driver and do not plan for the next half mile while on the road, WTF does your job actually consist of?

 

Hookers and coke?

 

You'll never know ticked off till you get passed by a smart car on the autobahn and u cant keep up.

 

Diesel trucks that try to roll coal on my Evo
Stupid kids in Integras with no mods besides muffler trying to race me
Cocky V8 guys that think their Camaro SS is a gift from God
Illinois State Police
Cook County Sheriff
Old guys in Vettes that drive 5 under the speed limit
Large groups of Harley riders that block all 3 lanes and let no one pass

 

There's a trend growing in the DC area: Cars that will suddenly pull into the left lane when they see someone moving faster than the right lane.
And then hold on the corner of the car they were behind.

It's one thing when the cell phone zombies sit in the left lane because they're not paying attention.

But the people who intentionally block traffic seem to have abandoned all hope of getting a life, and want to make sure nobody else can get one, either.


"Those trying to drag others down to their level start from the assumption that they're beneath everyone else".

So who convinced 90% of DC bureaucrats that they're beneath everyone else?

I find it disturbing that so many button sorters in government live just to get in everyone else's way.

 

per jeremy clarkson, shifting and killing prostitutes...

but on a serious note, this is one thing you can't judge unless you've been in their shoes... you can't plan for every situation half a mile down the road...

 

lol, wtf?

 

I'm in Idaho, so it's not exactly like they are dealing with 7 lanes of wall-to-wall traffic. I'm in the supply chain management field and deal with truck drivers all the time, and they've admitted it's mostly a matter of not paying attention or caring about the other motorists on the road. I get what you are saying, but when you can see a hill coming for two miles and have a truck 200 yds ahead of you, there's no reason to jump out in front of traffic (traveling a minimum of 10 mph faster than you by governed speed limits) to attempt a pass up a hill.

Maybe it's just because I'm that guy who pays attention to the traffic around me at all times. If I am going to get stuck behind a slow driver because someone behind me in the left lane is driving faster, I either adjust my speed slower and wait, or hit the gas to get out and around the slow car without impeding the faster driver behind me. I consider this to be motoring etiquette. I wish more people followed this model.

 

I do get special treatment in my Prius.

I guess maybe I'm judging from my cousin a bit too much as a truck driver... he pays attention.


just a little story to get to know my cousin a little:

me: whats the fastest you've ever driven
cousin: uummm.... 115-120... ish
me: thats it?!?!?!?
cousin: oh, you mean in a car? i thought you meant in my truck...
(in case anyone is wondering, don't remember in the car number, i was to blown away that he's done 120 in a semi)

 

I feel your pain about the Illinois State Police lol. I live in Chicago also and the police are brutal sometimes

 

the ****ing signs on the side of the highway with numbers on it suggesting the speed limit.

 

... anything with a dangling headliner...

 

- Riced-out Honda's (big problem where I'm from)
- Cars with excessive camber
- People that try to race in traffic
- Hyundai Genesis
