Goes to show you how pissed i was!

Holy crap a half hour?!
When my Grand Am showed it's bastard side, I was stuck in downtown traffic, and was trying to get over a lane to park on the shoulder, but no one wanted to let me over (traffic was going about 1mph IF it was moving) and I'm like holy effing crap my car IS SMOKING people... MY EFFING CAR IS SMOKING... I'm not trying to cut you off because I really want in front of you that bad, I need to get my ass off the road

Its a daily thing here in jersey. People are assholes on the road around here.

It definately happens all over. I've been cut off by the only other car on the road before. Why they didn't get over earlier or wait the few seconds it would have taken for me to pass them, I will never know.

x2 sometimes u cant help but have the urge to stick a certain finger out of your broken sunroof to the moron riding only inches away from your rear bumper.

All the time, I even see people on the shoulder of the road trying to cut in and get in front of everyone. I also see people pull out into a lane that ends on the Hyw. and drive up 10 cars and cut back in. I won't let people in like that, and the funny thing is they get pissed at you for not letting them in. Women are especially bad for this kind of behavior. At least around here that is.

That the bit I don't get they know they are doing the wrong thing and they get agro with you. How is it your fault ????

I just don't get it

I can't stand it when someone is trying to be to clever by half and being so arrogant on the road and abusing the good will of others. After all driving is a dangerous business and we don't need people being assholes.

A classic case the other night on my way home in peak hour traffic (please bear in mind for you yanks we drive on the left hand side of the road in RHD cars) I am the third car in the queue at traffic lights to turn right on a 4 lane road where the two right hand lanes turn right and the two inside lanes go straight ahead. What happens at this intersection is that when the lights turn green the two inside lanes go but the right turn lanes have a red arrow for about two minutes. So what happens is the inside lanes empty out but the right turn lanes back up for about 50 metres and when you turn right there is a concrete crash barrier on the left so there is only room for two cars to turn right at any time.

So there I am doing the right thing waiting for the arrow to turn green when down the inside this guy comes slowly ( I saw him coming in the side mirror), trying to time it so that he can jump the arrow.

But he mis-times it and the two cars in front of me are into the corner before he gets there so that leaves him in no-mans land trying to "cut in" on me. I am like "WTF" and "NO WAY JOSE" and dont let him in.

Then of course he's down with his window on his horn, giving me the finger.

Again I am WTF he pulls up next to me down the road so I am down with my window and tell him EXACTLY what I think of him.

As he starts to answer back I am up with the window (electric windows are great eh!!) and OFF in the traffic.

You know I just don't get it.

Some people just think that A/ They are far to important to be delayed for five minutes B/ They are exempt from the road rules and C/ Have no manners whatsoever.

Well to all those people all I can say is **** OFF and try it somewhere else.
