Won't let you merge on


or do that "zipper" thing"


Of course, the real annoying ones are those who cut all the way up to the front and try to muscle in. That's when to close the door on 'em. Damned cheatin' bastards!
Yeah, you're #1, buddy!

I was in bumper-to-bumper last week, NB 5 in Mission Viejo. A late-model BMW (surprised?) decided the CVC didn't apply to him, as usual, so he took to driving in the right hand emergency lane. A nearby CHP saw this and took offense to this selfish attitude. As he was pulling him over to write him a ticket, he was on the PA telling the guy "THIS IS MY EMERGENCY LANE. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DRIVE IN MY EMERGENCY LANE."

I was filled with an uncharacteristic and very rare feeling of cop love at that moment in time.

Dear OptusPrime69, It's my experience of the areas I regularly drive. I did mention i was "on my high horse".

I usually try to ignore mean comments, but I've had a bad night.

Dude, are you taking my figure of speech, "it seems no has heard of," literally? Like are u actually happening right now. Lmao. I can't...I can't.

I haven't been everywhere in the US but they are definitely up there among west coast drivers, although I am not sure of SD is the worst or Oregon drivers are. Both are pretty bad.

That's right about where it starts. I noticed this when I was driving back from Washington. LA is actually fairly pleasant to drive in minus the traffic.
