QUOTE: "I HATE SLOW DRIVERS by my house it is 30mph. some people (mostly elderly) go about 15-20mph. 30mph is slow enough but i mean jeeez. then they will go to turn on to a street and brake to like 5-10mph like their going to flip or something if they take that turn too fast. its horrible."
I hear ya! But worse than slow drivers are the slow drivers who continue to slow down. Example: I was driving behind this old lady in a SWEET car (an older Cadillac, bigger than most motor homes, know what I mean?). The speed limit was 55 and she was doing 45. On this particular road, there are few, if any, chances to pass. So, I followed her, doing 45 mph for a while. We hit a town where the speed limit WAS 45 mph. Did she stay the same speed? Nooooooo! She slowed to 35 MPH!!!!! Then, we hit an area where it went down to 30. Yep, she slowed down again, only this time she was only doing 15 MPH!!!!!!! Thank goodness she turned as I was going straight. She must've been 90 years old and could BARELY see above the dash. LMAO!!!! With her behind it, that steering wheel looked like it came off a rig! She was looking UNDER the steering wheel because she couldn't see over it. THOSE are the kinds of people who cause accidents. They should donate those classic cars to younger drivers... them big ol' boats can cause some damage!

yea when it gets that bad people shouldnt be able to drive. back when i lived in California, this wasnt too long ago, if i remember right, a old guy drove throught a farmer's market and instead of hitting the brake he hit the gas. he was mowin people. it was terrible.
30 MPH may seem slow and an agitation in a neighborhood, but it's pretty damn fast when some little kid pops out from behind a car and just freezes up in terror. You do your best slide for life and you're praying that locomotove your riding will come to a stop before you kill your neighbors little girl or squash your best friends little brother.
I know, because I ran over my own little brother with a truck! I was only going about 15mph. in an alley! It gets personal real quick! Lucky for us I just smashed his foot into the dirt with the tire and he went under and out the back missing all the other wheels and stuff under there, and was OK after a few days with a sore foot. On the highway, I don't care if you're doing 90 in that fast lane, if somebody comes up behind you, damnit, move your ass over to the right lane and let 'em by! The end..RANT OVER
On ocassion, if you ride my ass, I will lockem up. From 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 doesnt matter. If you get me to that point, look out. Not only that I'm packing heat. Normally I am the most level headed guy in the world. I never want to hurt anyone or anything. Mess with me and it is a different story.
But if you do that now and cause an accident the insurance company is investingating these kind of accidents so closely, you would be the one paying out and not the guy riding your ass. No longer is a rearend accident always the fault of the one who hit you. They have really cracked down on that atleast around here they have.
