What a night!!

Ok so im drivin home from a party, im comin down the highway and all of a sudden the traffic stops!....Sh..it I think to my self. So luckly me and the wife have a couple movies in the car. I put on HEAT, and we watch it for about a hafe hour. I was lookin at all the cars and people are gettin out and havin a smoke and it raining too. Im in my car watchin a movie. Man this is great im thinkin. Ok so the traffic starts up and it turns out a bad accident happend. I dont know if any one passed on. I pray they will be ok.

So now im comin down the highway and there is a van and another car infront of him and they are goin sooo slow. So I give the old curtisy flash and the van does nothing... so again I flash him and nothing again, F#@k man. So now iv givin him two chances to get the point ( I do have HID's so dont tell me he didnt see the flash ) Anyway so I flash him like crazy till he moves. He gets the point and changes lanes, I do the same for the car that was infront of the van and he moves. The van then gets behind me and starts to flash me!! Im doin the limit and passed everyone. They are all 20K below. So finally I get to a stop light and stop early to see if the guy in the van has something to say. I was VERY interested in talking to him at this point. He goes past me and I give her and blow him out. ( Never sped ) He quikly bolts and turns. I was so pissed I was gona go after him. I had my wife with me and said I cant. Thank god my wife was with me cus I dont need to be acting like this and didnt really want to get in trouble.

Why do they try to F##k with me when they dont know road rules. Sorry Im still pissed and just wanted to vent.

The most shocking part of that story is that you drive the speed limit.

The reason I said what a night was because I have never been able to watch a movie on a Highway at 12 am . That was a trip for me. And I also wanted a short title. lol

Ya it wasnt a crazy night out, I just wanted to vent about these dumb *** drivers you have the nerve to get mad at me when I let them know they are holding up traffic.

Cool man.... always remember, too may stupid drivers out there that are not worth your while.

It is always better to be home safe...a few minutes late than
having an ICBC claim to deal with or worst, end up in a hospital or morgue.

Oh, that really sucks erikguti! I feel for you, but you will get over it soon. Give it a good detail job and the car will be good as new!

In NY people are A-holes. Sorry for the deragatory remark, but I don't know how else to say it. If you flash your beams at them they actually get upset and start to play with you. Try to box you in and actually go slower. I tried the Left hand directional in the left hand lane (thinking that was more polite) and that gets the same result. Mind you, I am being as curtious as possible, not tailgaiting, but getting close enough to let them know they are holding me up. I'll stop and hold the door at the grocery store - so it's not like I'm being obnoxious, I know what's that like.

There is nothing you can do, just be paitent and hang back to wait for your chance to open up...

It's pretty sad that people purposely are inconsiderate. Guess they are pissed their life sucks when they feel they are owed everything, and feel they have to take it out on someone else...seems to be rampant these days

Especially in Vancouver, the speed limits here are ridiculously slow. Everyone clearly goes 10-20 km/h over. On the freeway here it's about 90km/h (pretty slow the point where it's actually dangerous to drive 90 when everyone is doing 110-120. And in urban busy streets it's 50 km/h.

Good thing your alright though, they're a lot of clowns on the streets these days, every time I burn someone they start tailgating me until I floor it.

You know what you guys are all right, BUT what the heck happend here, 15 yrs ago this was not even an issue. I really think that ICBC need to start compainging on road manners to cut down road rage. After all the reason we get worked up is because someone doesnt have any commen sence.

What a night!

Growing up in Europe I realized that a lot of average American drivers (not all) have no common knowledge when it comes to driving. In most European countries if you are driving in the left lane and someone is going faster than you. You get over way before you even get close to them or you will be honked to death. I don't understand what the big deal with people not getting over to the right here....

Must be the lack of any sort of comprehensive driver training combined with complacency and inconsideration...sounds like a fun place to drive...
