Come on, let's get this thing moving!!!
What the hell is with people that drive 20 MPH up a straight onramp? I kid
you not, 20 MPH. The other day I turned onto an onramp behind a driver that was going 20, and I kept waiting for him to speed up, but he never did. The ramp is long enough that you can give 50% throttle once you turn onto the ramp and be at 70MPH by the time the lane joins with the main highway. So once I figured that this bozo wasn't going to speed up I slowed down to build up space in front of me (this meant almost stopping on the ramp), then timing my manuvure such that I floor it, and just as I get close to the rear of buddy I can move over into a gap in the right lane at interstate speeds. I passed him like he was standing still (which he almost was). What would posses someone to drive so slow on an onramp? That's slower than a residental road. That's slower than a semi could do on the ramp. I don't even want to think about how he managed to merge (if he did), and if he was going to continue to drive 20 on the interstate. |

They expect the world to adjust to them. Not even a semi bearing down on them will get them to accelerate. I've been cut off by two different truckers in less than a week because the truckers decided it was better to cut me off than deal with the merge impared. |
