Dumb drivers...

I hate the ones that try to get in the left lane at a light and think they are going to get ahead of 1 more car by out running them from the light. Go 100 yds and cut back in the right lane.

These experiences sound much worse than any of mine, thankfully. I've only been riding in the "shell of death" for about 6 months or so, however. I know that one of my pet peeves is dealing with folks who don't understand the concept of using turn signals. A lot of the complaints I'm seeing here either deal with that or stem from that. I think it's hilarious that anyone would think that they can make exceptions to signals, as if they think everyone somehow knows or ASSUMES their next move.

Yeah I have had plenty of situations where I was stopped at an intersection and could have gone had I known someone was turning to my part of the intersection from my left.

I had slowed down,,but the way it happened, I could only move to the left lane to avoid them...

I am allways coming off of 23 they way you were on my way home from KY. I bet I don't get on 23 towards Big Stone 10x a year.

I hate Scott County drivers. Its like they are never in a hurry for nothing.

especially on 71 between gate city & nickelsville! They don't use their signals until they've already stopped in the road. If they see a cow, they have to slow down even more.

So today I was traveling on 23 going towards Pound, in the rain, when some person in a pontiac passes me and all other traffic going at least 90. I didn't even have time to see which model or what even part of his tags said, or what state they were.

On the same trip I'm being tailgated down the mountain - I'm doing about 60 (rain, other traffic in front of me too). When I pass the traffic I'm passing the tailgater shoots off like a bat out of hell, then pulls in front of me and slows to 50.

Funny thing you posted this, elp, because the same thing happened to me and my brother on our way home to Coeburn today. If anyone knows about the big construction zone (where the power plant) is, some idiot passed both us and a car in front of us only a short distance before coming into the construction zone, then afterwards went flying past all the cars leaving the construction zone in the pouring rain.

Its job security for me!!!!

That's not a cow, that's an investment.
