I would count driving half a mile on the shoulder and then trying to force your way back into stopped traffic on this list.

People will literally drive half in the right lane half on the shoulder to piss these people off.

I saw some old dude in a range rover who sould swirve into the shoulder to try and for these people into, I dunno hitting him or the wall I guess.

NT!, I used to feel this way about these a-holes too.

Then I turned into one.

FWIW, I live in Atlanta and do this constantly. I get home in under 30 minutes with traffic when it would take 1 hour+ if I sat in line at the bottlenecks like I'm supposed to instead of using my traffic angle-shooting techniques.

I sat in traffic and cursed the traffic angle shooters for years and years. Then one day it occured to me. Why should I sit here and get pissed off at these pricks? Why should I be punished for following the rules?

[censored] it. If you can't beat em, join em. I became an aggressive driver and never looked back. I save probably 5-8 hours per week doing this and the decrease in stress level is worth much more than the time I save. Maybe I'll get a ticket one day, but BFD, the time and stress that I've saved is well worth a couple hundo every once in a while (I've never gotten a ticket for this, BTW)

And FWIW, the spineless bitches that allow drivers to do this annoy me more than those that do it. Is anything more annoying than the idiot that lets 4 people cut in front of them?

I can't even believe someone came here and admitted to doing this...proudly.

This has a certain, well...NAMBLA-esque quality to it.
