So do y'all have folks who don’t see the light changed, everyone in front of them drove away, and they’re sitting alone in the road because they have their head down looking at - that thing - (not gonna say it)?

I am pretty close but not as bad
I sure fuckin hate phones though. But they can be useful tools

Saw this at the grocery store today. How do you drive a go-cart and still pull off this kind of stupidness? I’ll pass by tomorrow to see if they’re still stuck.

A special spot in my heart for those that like the fast lane, but also like to go 15MPH+ less than the flow of traffic. Some of us are trying to break the law for real here!
This morning traffic in the #2 lane was 75+ and some ass was doing 60 in the fast lane. Of course, my mother in law would adamantly say: THE SPEED LIMIT IS 65! I DON'T WANT TO GO TO JAIL! My wife had to explain to her multiple times that if you want to go that slow, just stay out of the fast lane. Lane #3 is reserved for anyone that doesn't really want to get to their destination.

Here's a lulu that happened a week ago, got caught on my dashcam. Pretty typical of the fucktards we have driving in this state.
One of the things that really makes my blood boil is when someone in front of you at the light decides they want to get in the left turn lane so they sit there with their signal on and make everyone wait out the whole light till they can get over.
It used to be “oops, I fucked up. Let me go around the block and inconvenience myself instead of everyone else on the road”
Not anymore.
Yep, and yep. I'll sit there with my hand on the horn for as long as it takes.
This is exactly why I replaced my horn with a louder pair, with heavier wiring, and a relay — so I can stand on it when the idiots block the road.
Far from the worst I've seen, just the one that's freshest in mind when I saw this thread.
Just got back yesterday from visiting family in Virginia. On the way to the airport around 5:30am, I'm driving on the interstate several car lengths behind a fuel tanker truck in the far right lane about 71mph on cruise in a 70 zone. There's another semi in the left lane. A 2nd gen Dodge diesel with body panels rusted and sagging, missing pieces, one headlight, and brake lights that activate the back up lights instead, comes flying up behind me, gets on my bumper, and starts flashing his lights at me like I should get out of his way. Again, I'm in the right lane, going the speed limit, behind another truck, and couldn't get over left if I wanted to. What is he expecting me to do, get off on the shoulder to let him be behind the tanker truck instead of me?
He proceeds to zig zag between me and the trucks to then cut the tanker truck off to take an exit about a mile further down the road from where it all started?!
Anyway, hope he was late to work.

I see a lot of dumbasses driving like that around here. And yes, they're usually driving beat to shit vehicles. I can't imagine what the common link is.
A month or two ago I was running at the back of a pack on the highway going 80 in all lanes, I was in the left most lane, when some lady got on my ass in a newer Grand Cherokee. After riding my ass for a minute, she slings it out into the grass and passes me just to whip it back in between me and the vehicle I was behind, then did another leap frog in the grass. I'd bet she was running north of 90 in the grass. This is NASCAR country, but damn. I really wanted to bump her.
Last week driving in the middle of nowhere Wisconsin on interstate, 2 lanes in our direction. We are in the left lane passing a truck doing 78 in a 70.
All of a sudden an SUV comes flying around on the right. Odd, there's a truck in the right lane.
Guy passed on the shoulder and got back in line but traffic was blocked so couldn't go anywhere without more shoulder passing.
Valentine 1 was quiet the whole time. Waze indicates a LE just ahead.
LE in median, again no radar running.
All of a sudden another LE in black SUV comes up from behind and pulled the guy over. Median LE joined in on the roadside meetup.
Not sure if he was running or what but he definitely wasn't successful.

Using your phone while driving???
Its acceptable (and legal) when dialing 911 ICE. Idiots like that need to be called in.
This is exactly why I replaced my horn with a louder pair, with heavier wiring, and a relay — so I can stand on it when the idiots block the road.
Consider installing a parallel toggle switch as well...
Reminds me of what happened after the Weird Al concert the other night. On our way home interstate type road two lanes in our direction, 65 mph speed limit.
We are in the left lane passing someone and I point out to the wife that there are headlights in our lane. She minimally had time to slow down as we went by a car that was on the median side shoulder going the wrong way and they have cable barriers here so they could barely get over far enough to get off the road. Car to our right so we couldn't get over.
We called 911 as it was only a matter of time before something really bad happened. We ourselves were lucky.
I saw one like that recently.
A northbound car on the southbound side of a miles-long tall concrete barrier, smashed into a giant earthmover, with the front half of the car shoved completely inside the body. I can't even wildly guess how fast he was going to do that.
