beat: driving in florida
 

so i moved to the tampa area in april of last year and i noticed something about the way people drive down here that i've never seen before, and it makes me want to crush their skulls. i moved from baltimore and worked in DC and people drive like maniacs in DC but i've still never seen what i see EVERYONE do down here. they'll drive 5-10 mph under the speed limit, then when you get in another lane to to pass them....THEY SPEED UP AND DONT LET YOU PASS. i see this at least 10 times a day and it drives me up a [censored] wall. is it just a florida thing or what....? i've never seen people do that anywhere else in america that i've been.

shhhhhhh, you're a nit

Re: beat: driving in florida
 

Ive lived in Tampa my whole life. I want to kill people that do this. The one guy I really want to kill to this day was doing 35 in a 45 on a 2 lane road. I pull out to pass him when there was no on comming traffic on a dotted yellow line and the [censored] speeds up until I need to slow down because a car was comming towards me. Then the [censored] slows back down to 35 this went on about 3 times. Till I said [censored] it layed way back and gunned it to 75 when there was a clearing and passed him when I had momentum on my side. I wanted to get out of my car and blow this guys [censored] head off. I still do and that was 5 years ago. I hope he died in a grease fire.

I moved from Tampa to Philly and Philly drivers on average are much worst than Tampa drivers.

One could write a whole book on the psychological dynamics of this one phenomenon. But it basically boils down to assumption that if you manange to pass them then that means you are better than them, because it might mean you have somewhere you have to go that is more important then where they are going, or that your time is more valuable than theirs, hence the inferiority complex.

My suggestion is to pass these people and pump your fist at them in celebratory exultation as if your favourite sports team just won The Big One . This will enrage them much more than "the finger" if you do it once you manage to get in front of them.

Meh - I'd rather drive in spots like that than sit on the DC Beltway during rush hour traffic or pretty much any time of day all week long. I've never been on a road that has traffic on weekend days due to sun.

Re: beat: driving in florida
 

Yeah, I live about 40 minutes under Tampa and it only gets worse. Sarasota, Fl. is America's Cemetery imo.

Re: beat: driving in florida
 

I do this a lot but heres the thing i'm always speeding. So if im doing 70-80 on the highway and i see a guy that wants to pass me and switches lanes to pass me. I speed up more to make them not pass me.

I do this for a few reasons.

1) I'm already speeding..and believe my amount of speeding should be good enough for him
2) I don't want him infront of me to the point where he's slowing me down and i gotta get in front of him also
3) I'm an [censored]

Re: beat: driving in florida
 

Florida is full of old people ldo.
Old people are terrible drivers imo.
Florida is full of bad drivers AFAIK.

QED ldo.

Speaking of bad florida drivers...

I'm on I-95 and switch to the HOV lane. a guy about 500 ft behind me is speeding in HOV. When i switched to the HOV lane there was already a car infront of me 25 ft ahead. So there was nowhere for me to go.

This car gets very angry and starts tailing me speeding up and hitting break. Then switches lanes and sweavers into my car very close and leaves.

What the [censored] was the point of that? And i sped up to get a closer look and of course i was right. He was black

Racist ban AFAIK.

Seriously...it really tilts me anytime people stay in the left lane when they are not passing cars. I don't care how fast you are going, if there are people that want to go faster and take the risk of getting pulled over by the cops, let them pass on the left in the passing lane.

qft

but most people are bad at most things and don't understand how much more dangerous and stupid it is for them to prove their dumb point - i HATE passing on the right (and hate when it's done to me).
