I too have seen it all...What really makes me mad is people who are too lazy, or expect you to read their mind because they NEVER use their signal blinkers,( I'm even wondering if signal lights are an "option" on most vehicles on the road today)..Got my drivers license in 1966 and signaling when making a turn or a lane change was beaten into you....:h...or the ones who drive 35 mph merging into traffic that is running 60 mph...The one's who drive with their brights on at night time ALL the time...It's ridiculous...
I really like the ones you come up on in the slow lane, let's say, running 55 mph on the interstate in a 60 mph speed zone, you go around them, and end up going 70 to finish the pass because THEY speed up while you're passing:h
Texting is unbelievable...I see it going on all the time,,,heck, I passed a guy on the Interstate once and was close enough to see he was DOING A CROSS WORD PUZZLE!!! He had it on his steering wheel working on it...The wife saw it also..THAT might be the one that "took the cake".
Don't be mean with any of them or get aggressive, the other driver just MAY be the one who will chase after you and maybe even have a gun....
I USED to get mad over a lot of the above, but now just shake my head and figure anyone that dumb might be the one to come after you should you get aggressive with them...just not worth it anymore.
The old saying, "DRIVE DEFENSIVELY...watch out for the other guy"..means even more today with all the thoughtless drivers on the road.
