Dumb drivers...

Go to the beach on vacation. 9 times out of 10 if there is a traffic problem you will see a vehicle with KY. tags as the culprit.

No one state has a monopoly on stupid . Stupid knows no state boundries . I deal w/70 mph tailgaters that think they are drafting at Tallegega on a daily basis . No comprehension of turn signals , no clue to an on-ramp acceleration lane and coming up to speed to merge . Changing driving habits due to slick weather conditions is unheard of and applying mascara while talking on the phone in between gleening the local paper and nibbling a muffin is common practice . I believe the only qualifaction for a license in NC is the ability to get to the DMV .

They dam sure know how to pull out in front of ya doin 60 and go slower than sh!t and turn off again in about 100 yards. </div></div>

oh lord, you couldn't have been more correct... people are like that all of this country, gah it kills me...
coming on to 4lanes, they fly from the side roads and miss the stop signs.. then boom.. they are in front of you for 100-200 yards at 5mph... I've really come custom to giving people the "california salute"

A lot of KY drivers are bad for cutting you off though. As a student at a Kentucky college I have to deal with this every time I take the car out. When I was leaving Berea Tuesday to visit home I was gonna fill up the car. Some idiot turning left tries to cut me off and if I didn't let him go he would have t-boned me. On the way back from Berea at a different weekend someone in Pineville cut me off at the gas station going toward the hospital.

And drivers all over Berea use the shoulder to pass on a two-lane road. I always made fun of that.

ah, you can't beat my experience..
I was going toward Coeburn, and the road to cut up to the new Walmart/bowling alley, etc... someone was in the slow lane, and I was in the passing lane.. she cut on her right hand signal, so I proceede to pass her.. boy did she almost kill us both, she cut from the slow lane, to the fast lane, straight in front of me.. to go up toward walmart or whatever.. I was just in shock..

I never go up that hill, just for that reason.

My biggest peeve is the clover-leaf for 23 and 58,,very few YIELD, I was in the right lane of 23 south, getting ready to exit onto 58, a car entering 23 south never looked, never slowed down,,had to swerve to the left lane and missed the exit.
I ended up seeing some of Nortons police dining at a resturant. I proceeded to interrupt their meal and told them they needed to enforce the yield signs instead of worrying about the friggin fire lane at WALMART !!! I don't think it helped do you??

Actually when doing what you described you are supposed to slow down and merge in behind the car speeding up to get onto the 4-lane. You are slowing anyway for the exit and they are getting up to highway speed. You knew you were taking the exit and should have started slowing way before you got to it and been ready to drop in behind them as you slowed more and they sped up more. That is just common sense.

[The_Sage]

So it was YOU??? ha
I had slowed down,,but the way it happened, I could only move to the left lane to avoid them...

Can you tell that to all the people that stop before merging onto 23???? I've been behind people that stop when there aren't any cars in sight in either direction.

And what is it with people who pull out in front of SUV's???? I love the ones who hesitate before pulling out in front of you. I should send them the bill for replacing my brakes. Btw, if you pull out in front of a trailblazer and it then proceeds to ride your bumper, wave in the mirror because that's me. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]
