Hokay, got a new one here, and maybe I’m over-reacting a bit when I say that people who do this should be shot in the FACE. Or at least made to watch Ishtar over and over again. I submit to you:
The guy who won’t pull UP:
Let’s say, for instance, you are moving into the left turn lane, next to a median with a cut-out that will hold 3-4 cars. The guy in front of you, in the turn lane, has like 1-1.5 CARLENGTHS of space between him and the car in front of him. That leaves you, with the ass-end of your car hanging out in the leftmost STRAIGHT lane, and when the turn arrow goes red, the folks on your right, who now have a green light, would love to get moving so they can make it home in a timely fashion.
BUT THEY CAN’T BECAUSE THE ASSHAT IN FRONT OF YOU DOESN’T SCOOT UP ENOUGH FOR YOU TO BE OUT OF THE STRAIGHT LANE!!!
Got news for ya, pal. There’s traffic BEHIND you as well as in front. It’s time you got over your myopic view of what’s going on and realize that driving consideration should extend not only to the folks in front of you, but to those behind too. Just because you can’t see me at the moment, doesn’t mean that I don’t exist. It’s called object-permanence, and my 10-month old has already picked it up. Time to step outside that little microcosm you call awareness and join us on this planet.
I know, I know…driving is haaard…like math. Math is haaaaard…
testing testing!
Lol, I remember having a conversation about this very thing with you back in the day, and still think about it every time some sorry ass punk doesn’t pull forward as much as they can!!! Unbelieveable!!!
Cheers!!!
Seriously right? Dumb asses. Shot in the FACE, they should be.
