Sloth Coaster Gets His Come-Uppance
 

While driving my pickup truck to the hardware store yesterday, I got
temporarily stuck behind a Sloth Coaster driving an SUV. The posted
speed limit was 55 MPH, but because there was a red light a half mile
down the road, this SC was puttering along at about 35 MPH. After a
couple cars in the next lane turned off I managed to break free. The
ultimate irony ensued when I sailed through the now-green signal at
full speed, while the Sloth Coaster got stuck behind some dreamer in a
Durango who had been stopped at the red light and failed to begin
moving immediately when the light turned green. I heard the Sloth
Coaster honk his horn impatiently and slow to a near-complete stop
before the Dreamer Durango started to move.

Think of it as Road Karma in action. :)

You are totally wacked out to let stuff like that bother you. Bet
you're one of those psychos that beats his kid if the poor little guy
strikes out in a litttle league game.

Aren't you one of those psychos who speeds through school zones,
completely oblivious until you're pulled over and ticketed?

You can't prove anything you post.

Heh heh - you should have seen what I did to the little punk when he
got caught speeding in a school zone... I almost kicked his teeth in!

I don't get it. It seems to me the guy in the SUV was doing nothing wrong.
If he had driven 55 up to the intersection, he would have had to lock up his
brakes to keep from hitting the Durango. If you hadn't decided to switch
into LLB mode, the SUV drive could have switched into the left lane and
sailed through the intersection at full speed as well. You seem to think
you have a right to drive like a total ass because anyone in front of you is
a "Sloth" driver. Grow up.

I don't understand this obsession with "sloth coasters..." Often when
approaching a red light I will start coasting down well back from the
light, then when it turns green all I have to do is drop a gear or two
and blow past all the people that ran up to the light at full speed and
then had to stop for it. Saves wear and tear on the car as well as
gasoline.

Same here; I usually get the jump on the jerky drivers who haul ass to a red
light.
