Pooring Footers is on a distinguished road
Default I was just trying to pull into my own driveway.

Nothing suprises me anymore. I am trying to pull in my driveway (my house is on the left) and a car is right behind me, riding my butt (in my own subdivision!) Pretty normal actually. So anyway, my house is on the left and i am swinging into my OWN driveway. The car behind me (NJ TAG!) tries to freakin pass me and almost nails me as I am pulling into my driveway!!!!!!!! He slammed on his brakes to avoid hitting me! In my own driveway! He was trying to pass me to save, what 3 seconds as I pull in?

Freakin moron!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry had to vent, and this is just one instance and I;m not trying to generalize, but I saw the plate, and all I gotta say is "same people pulling the same crap, just a different day."

Bad drivers are everywhere, but when pulling into your own driveway becomes hazardous, you know something is wrong.

You didn't use your turn signal to let him know you were turning? That's pretty rude.

I almost always use my turn signals. This jack a s s was riding my butt, and then I slowed down and hit my breaks for a couple seconds (an obvious sign that I am slowing down) and as I am pulling into my driveway I hear a screaching sound. He is trying to pass me on my left (on a one way street) as I am turning left into my driveway. Imagine turning into your own driveway and in the corner of your eye over your left shoulder you see a car coming at you trying to pass you as you are turning into your driveway. What a moron. And anyone who thinks I was "rude" for pulling into my driveway and making him waste 3 of his precious NJ seconds by waiting for me to pull in is a moron too. Nevermind the fact that he was riding my a s s in a 20mph zone and tried to pass me on a one way street.

You just called me a moron for pointing out the obvious. Now that's extremely rude and unnecessary. Seriously dude, you whine way too much, but I won't generalize and stereotype and hold that against your place of origin nor your upbringing...

What was "the obvious?" You never asked me if I used my turn signals. Do you use your turn signals when turning into your driveway in your subdivision? I do, because we deal with a lot of morons who are impatient and will run your a s s over, whether your on a major highway or a 20mph zone in a subdivision.

I do apologize if you took offense to my previous post.

I did, as mentioned above. But dont you think slowing down so that I could make the turn would indicate that he would need to slow down too? Instead of trying to pass me on my left on a one way street as I'm making my turn.

It completely took me off guard, I mean, you wouldnt think that you'd have to deal with that kind of BS in your little subdivision.
