[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 7359136, member: 549629"] How often has someone blatantly pulled out in front of you, forcing you to really hit your brakes to avoid them and allow them to (slowly) get up to speed, only to find they cut in front of you so they can do 10 under the speed limit. Then you look in your rear-view and realize there isn't another car behind you as far as you can see, so the other car could have waited 5 more seconds for you to pass and then pulled out, allowing both of you to travel whatever speed you want. But our society teaches people that you either have to be an [COLOR=black]a[/COLOR]sshole, or get walked all over every day. That guy would rather make you wait for him, even if it means for miles and miles after he pulls out, instead of him waiting 5 seconds for you. Or how about the woman that blows a stop sign, causing you to slam on your brakes to avoid t-boning her, and she isn't even decent enough to look at you to acknowledge she [COLOR=black]f[/COLOR]ucked up? She just stares straight ahead and keeps on going like she is queen of the highway Or the guy sitting in passing lane, riding the EXACT same speed as the person beside them in the right lane, not allowing anyone to pass, for miles? Or the guy who pulls up at the store, and decides since he's just going in for milk, bread and eggs, that he is justified to park in a no parking zone and just run in? Or the [COLOR=black]f[/COLOR]uck-wad driving a 1982 ford escort with 157 dents, that drives like he's eager to put a 158th dent in it by bouncing off your car? What does he care, cars are not important to him, and his pos is only worth like 50 bucks, might as well drive it like a bumper car at the county fair. Or, like in my wreck a few years ago, a person decides to make a left-turn off the road they are traveling on, and since its a residential street that isn't super busy, there is absolutely no need to look for on-coming traffic, or use their turning signal, before making that left turn? Or how about the guy driving a 23 year old work truck, that is falling apart at the seams, yet he still drives it like he's in a ferarri? Gee, not his fault his front wheel or tie rod end came apart while making that 50mph turn, pushing them into another vehicle. Who could have possibly predicted that 'accident'? How about the kid who thinks snow and ice conditions means driving to work at full speed will just be 'more fun' today? How about the driver who does 95mph down the interstate on tires that are so bald they have steel belts showing? Or the guy who thinks the passing lane is simply his own private 'low traffic' lane to sit in comfortably until he gets to wherever he is going? People are self-centered. And once they sit down in that metal exoskeleton we call a car, they feel they are insulated enough from people to act however they want with very few, if any, consequences? Again, much like how people act differently when they are semi-anonymous on the internet. [/QUOTE]
