Aggresive driver rant.....
 

To the 20 something ( insert alternate word for female dog of breeding age) that was driving the car with a crunched front end on the 5 north this morning. Why did you aggressively ride my bumper? There were empty lanes on either side for you to go around. Were you trying to save fuel by drafting me? That probably wouldn't work because my Porsche has a low drag coefficient. Maybe it is because our cars were blue? I'm sorry but I don't want to participate in your absurd fantasy of flying a Blue Angel diamond formation with you. When I raised my hand and shrugged to ask WTF you nearly clipped the rear of my car as you aimed your car into the right lane then gave me the dookie face look. That prompted me to rate your driving prowess with a one which I displayed with the middle finger of my right hand. Then you swerved at me. This is not a game little girl! I remember your car and your face. If I see you again I will be sure to slow down provided I am in front of you and in a bigger vehicle

I have no idea what these number sign things do but I have seen them before. ‪#‎asshatdriver‬ ‪#‎sandinthevagina‬ ‪#‎burnyourlicense‬ ‪#‎takeabus‬

If I ever have someone riding my rear bumper (not in the left lane) while in the right lane I just back off the gas gently and slowly bleed off my speed. Eventually they get frustrated at the pace and go around.

+1 Especially if I'm driving the porker.

She's looking for someone with insurance to repair her car after the Chevrolet minivan with 22 passengers brake checked her on Sunday.

did you get the plate #?

I wonder if these are the same type of people I hear about in the news getting shot on the freeways. Yea, next time brake check her and then drag her out of the car to help her with a punch in the face!

Why not just switch lanes? Better than having an idiot ruin your morning. Now if they also switch lanes to tailgate, they're asking for trouble.

I used to know a mc courier that had large marbles taped to his handlebars he said if anyone was tailgating him he would just drop a couple over his shoulder they usually got the hint

Move to the right.

I had someone do that to me a few weeks ago. I was driving a borrowed 993. It was a 'full size' SUV with paper plates, and as I was driving 80, they'd barrel up to within 20" or so of my back bumper then slowly back off. I was driving with traffic and the behavior made no sense. They did it 4 or 5 times and finally, the freeway widened and they went to the 'faster' lane -- where everyone else went. They fell miles behind (not that it was a contest!).

it's been any years since I had a Porsche, but trucks and suvs do the same thing when I'm driving the miata. They figure since you are in a tiny car and they are in an suv that you'll be afraid that they squash you. They have false bravado because they feel like they have the upper hand. They also have tiny pee-pees. I don't like to brake check, and by brake check, I mean a hard stab of the brakes. But I will drop a gear and left off of the gas or slowly but firmly apply the brakes. I've manage to scare a few trucks such that they dropped back and stopped screwing with me. Was it the best way to deal with the situation, probably not, but it worked.

Geez.... for driving too close to you? WTF is wrong with some people? I don't see a big character difference between a bad driver and being a dickhead.

I found out a 2001 Tundra is faster than 201X C300 on the highway the other day. That was fun.

I've people tailgate me and then switch lanes when I do. I think there's a certain species of moron out that only feels comfortable when they're snugged right up against someone. I'll get people tailgating me in my VW's - no matter how close you get to me, the thing ain't going any faster.

Had a guy in a big 4x4 tailgating me on a surface street just last week. I had no available lane to change to, so I just gradually slowed down until I was doing 25 or so. I timed it so that when I came up to the next light, I nailed it and squeaked through the yellow; he started to go for it, then thought twice at the last second and stopped about 1/2 a truck length in the intersection.

I was in the right lane. the lane to the right of me was an exit only lane, she ended up taking that exit.

I didn't want to punch her or brake check her, I think I would gt hurt worse in a rear collision in the SC than in most other cars on the road

I see this all the time - someone wants to take an exit (or make a turn) ahead and they stay in that lane come - what - may.

Neanderthals. :rolleyes:

It's a daily thing where I live (can't wait to move)

Rednecks in lifted trucks with a confederate flag in the rear window and a nascar number of their favorite driver painted on the left door.

Just this afternoon......the guy rolls a stop sign and pulls out right in front of me. He makes a left turn, same direction that I need to go, and comes up to a GREEN light and makes a full stop! I barely touch my horn and he's flippin me off and ready to fight.
He was in too big of a hurry to stop at the sign but is now in no hurry to go through a green light.

Single digit IQ is pretty common these days.

I actually gave thought before buying my Porsche what would be peoples reaction(s), knowing back in Ohio in 1983 my Dad's 911 was not very popular.

So my thinking was:"there's a LOT of nice cars here in So Cal...like on every street corner, I'll be invisible". WRONG...911's bring out the village-idiot like EVERYWHERE, and some of the worst aze kickings I have had to dole out on are...you guessed it...the psycho-Bee-atche, like the one who just did a 5-lane sweep from the diamond lane to cut me off. And of course, all those other people who need to show you how SLOW their car is...

So RELAX...you cannot control the bad attitude of the masses, only control yourself. At the end of the day, you go home in your Porsche. The masses go home in cookie-cutter junk(making them angry!)

Everybody WANTS nice things. Just not everyone is willing to work for them, hence sour-grapes!

:D

Two choices.... 1 Go Zen on the moment and chill knowing your Zen is totally pissing them off ... OR 2 remove golfball from glove box and..................

I recently bought a Honda Civic Hybrid for commuting, great car, great mileage but i seem to attract the asshat tailgaters. Going just as fast as i did in my Tacoma.
