LLBs want "consideration"

Once again today I encounter an LLB near the 41/I94 split. Those wanting
to remain on I94 need to exit to the right. I come up on this LLB and
signal with my left turn signal asking him to move over. I then signal
a flash-to-pass. He doesn't move over, nor does he begin passing. I
start to go around him and now he finds his accelerator and blocks me
from going around on the right. I fall in behind him, he slows, I try to
around on the right, he accelerates. Rinse repeat.

So I decide, screw it. He's got WI plates, state of LLBs. I just stay in the
middle lane next to him since I can't pass. I figure he probably doesn't
want to be on 41. Sure enough as we get to the split he's all ****ed off
and trying to get over to the right. He's gesturing that I should let
him change lanes in front of me. Seems he thinks that other drivers
should compensate for his lack of planing showing same selfish behavior
trend that makes him an LLB.

At the last possible moment he decides he can change lanes behind me
(since the rest of the stacked up traffic had moved right to exit)
instead of in front of me and he dashes across the lanes to the right.

Of course he'll probably never realize if he had just moved right and let
traffic pass instead of becoming stacked up he wouldn't have had this
problem.

Obey the speed laws and you won't have all these "problems".

Where the **** did he mention the speed he was driving? He could have been
doing 5 under and the LLB 15 under.

400hp wouldnt have helped. the gap was barely big enough, all he had to
do was gain a couple yards to make something I would not be will to try.
However I suppose I still could have fit if I really wanted to risk it.

I just decided not to go that far. But I was really tempted. It's a real
pain to double back from there.

Next time, just do it. I know I would have. It won't change his
opinion of 'Chicago drivers' much and it *might* teach the SOB a
lesson. I have to live among those LLB morons up here. The more who
*learn* what happens when they LLB, the better.

That's hilarous,considering what he just finished doing to you.
Heck,I'd be adjusting my speed,doing my best to insure he ended up on the
wrong road.

I did it to one some time ago. This time something in the back of my head
said to let him go at the last moment. I had matched him until he reduced
speed by braking.

The big problem is if I do it, I have to miss my exit and go out of my
way. I don't want to be stuck at the light with them. (my exit is the
first one off 41 after the split)

Remember: Judy's a "lib-rul", and their "assumptions" are fact.

Only on weekends mostly. But yeah, pretty much one end to the other. I
should get a video camera and film it for the group some day. Hardly one
round trip without something of at least minor interest.

That's a great idea. Especially when you already have a laptop and a
webcam. :-) I've recorded a few clips using my digital camera, but it
has a 30s limit in 640x480. A webcam is probably easier to mount too
since it's lighter. I jammed the camera between the passenger headrest
and seatback which didn't work too well...
