even more remarkably, there won't be any traffic around or behind you and those asshats can't wait 3 more seconds until you pass them.

Or pass like crazy then pull in front of you and slow way down because they are now in the lead and scared to drive 5 over.

It's like a disease in thsi part of the country. Four lane highway, you're coming, they pause, then pull right into the lane you're using. Why not the other lane? Why not wait until I pass? What's with the pause? Why am I not legally empowered to kick this person in the medulla oblongata?

Women+SUV+Cell Phones. This is especially bad in the morning, after work or leaving whatever store they were just in. Almost forgot BMW'S!

The faster they talk, the slower they drive.

themeatmanlandry · 03-13-2008, 08:46 AM

In my experience, men are just as bad.

The people I really hate are the phone talkers that stay behind a slow car while htey are on the phone, then gun the engine as soon as they hang up. As if Commissioner Gordon has filled them in with all pertinent information and now they must SPEED TO THE BATCAVE!!!!!

The Bat Cave doesn't exist.

And just when are they going to outlaw talking on the phone while driving? It's not allowed in most countries in Europe, because they've determined that talking on the phone while driving is the same as driving with 0.8% blood alcohol: Lack of attention, lots of weaving, and highly increased danger of having an accident.

**intimid8er** · 03-13-2008, 09:44 AM

About the same time they catch that A-hole on the Gixxer that passed me other day.......handful of throttle on the right side. Phone a textin' on the left.

Douche.

There are so many more important things that we need to address. Not to mention the difficulty in enforcing such a law.

Hell, they don't go after shoplifters, jaywalkers or petty thiefs, why would they spend their time chasing down a guy with a phone?

I do agree that it is a menace to traffic safety.

Yeah, I was . . . but it was important. It involved safety gear (I had lost a thong on one of my flip-flops and was testing various stores to get their best price on a new pair).

Yeppers.....at about 45-60 mph in rush hour traffic.

**inspiron** · 03-13-2008, 10:01 AM

I've seen a girl riding a bicycle and texting on her phone - she was riding down the middle of the lane (instead of hugging the curb so that traffic could pass her). Definitely a tosser.

'Cept for Landry. He'd hit it.
