Driving on the highway

OK i'm pissed. I HATE the highway...i hate it with a passion!!! I was coming back from downtown today, not a lot of traffic..and i was doing my usual 100KM/H in the right lane minding my own business behind me in the distance was a white 18 wheeler....i pass an exit and have to change over so now im in the middle lane..probably doing 110 now and see that same 18 wheeler had to change too and all of a sudden he stepped on the gas and is riding my ***...

well FU#K HIM! im not moving...i keep it at 110 and can't get back into the right lane anyway...all off a sudden a spot opens he takes it and comes up on the right, and i can read lips.."*******" is what came from him..and then he mumbled some other **** ..probably "f'n civic punks"

so i 1 finger salute him, point down and tell him to suck my goods step on the gas and fly by him waving a nice big finger in the air again

apparently you're an ******* if you do the speed limit, a grandma if you do 110, a dick if you do 115...and 120 and above you're going too fast...is there any in between!!? the 401 can kiss my A$$

i usually just smile, tell him to have a nice day, then go home and dream about speeding up and cutting him off again.

you can't care too much about others when you're on the road, if he makes you speed, he could care less when you get the ticket.

i hear ya...on my way home from work the limit is 60 but i always step on it and anyone doing 60 pisses me off...if i go for a cruise or something that night im doing 50 flat and everyones on my ***

i used to own a big honkin caprice classic...and NEVER EVER had a problem with someone on my ***...or cutting me off...and if you think i drive slow now, you should have seen me in the other car (60's in 80's)..(40's in 50')...never a problem...whats the rush anyway

i also agree with rrspexpress ... but it just makes me so mad!!

i'm surprised he didn't just pass in fast lane. trucks are not supposed to use it, but how many times a day you see 18 wheeler in fast lane, alot. screw em, you did nothing wrong, so screw em

Let me first say that I don't speed, but I sure don't do 100km/h on highway, maybe 120km/h. Anyways, let me see my views on this.

So you were blocking the trucker from passing you, and when he had the opportunity to pass you in another lane. That makes him an a$$hole??? hhmmm.... sounds like your the inconsiderate driver here from my analysis.

btw, my grandma drives 100km/h on the highway, LOL.

if we want to get into details...anything over 100 is speeding.

and no, because he had actually been following me at a respectable distance for a good 10 kms...and he was doing 100 also

then all of a sudden hes 5 feet from my bumper, yes, that makes him the *******

ok the term im looking for is "smile and wave" ignorance gets the best of most aggressive drivers and you have done nothing wrong when you smile and wave. but it does **** people off. or try blowing kisses.

I like this idea…now that it think about it, if was I was to flip someone off and all they did was smile back and blow me a kiss it would probably make me more angry the guy doesn’t care

Smiles and kisses it is

I do around 130-140 late night on the gardiner. I know it inside out, and know where they hide. There is NO one in sight, except rarely the odd car, who is also doing the same speed. I'm far from reckless, but if i can punch it for a bit, i will. In traffic i rarely go over 110-120, usually somewhere in between there. This also ALWAYS depends on whether or not im at the time. Drive s@fe everyone, govern yourselves accordingly.

I'm guilty of kiss blowing. I do it very often and it really does **** people off. If someone is riding me, i usually let them get fairly close, brake deep and watch their heart jump into thier mouth. Then, i slow down, to usually half of the limit. So, if im in a 40 doin 50 and someones riding me, I break and reduce to 20. Then just cruise, speeding up from time to time, letting them catch me, then back to slow. This is alot more effective on a road with one lane, but i am also guilty of doing this on a multiple lane road. If he changes lanes, i'll do the same, slow as ever. This may seem a bit extreme for some of you, but i drive ALOT downtown Toronto, usually half of my day is spent on the road. I HATE people on my a$$, especially when im already over the speed limit. Im sick of it.
