Road rage at christmas time.... isn't the holiday season grand??? That lady was smart going slow throu the moose zone. We have donkey crossings here, and when someone goes fast and hits one, the donkey and the people usualy die.

"The employer said that the driver "snapped" because Vikan flashed her high beams at him when he finally passed."

She should have flashed him something else maybe...

This should have the hero tag. Farking biatch was driving for miles under the speed limit, dosen't have the courtesy to pull her sorry ass over to let him pass, and then she has the testicles to flash her high beams at him.

She should be happy he did'nt bash her friggen skull.

I guess Boris new job as a truck driver still cannot stop visions of the Moose and the squirrell.


To be slightly off topic, I thought this link from that page is a much better story, let the headline speak for itself: "Norwegians top list over 'one-night stands'" Note to self; move to Norway. Immediately.

What they left out; She was probably on a cell phone, doing her makeup and smacking her kids.

Trucker was probably trying to do us a public service?

She must have been shiating her pants.

Can you imagine sitting in your car, not able to do anything?
 
2002-12-20 01:10:03 PM
OK, this i never understand. Youre in your car, you have children, the engine is running, and someone stars attacking you, beating the shiat out of your car. RUN THEM THE fark OVER!!! People are sititng in 2000 pound weapons, and let this idiot take chunks out of your radiator grill and try to get inside?? fark that. Park it on the muther farkers chest till he calms down.
 
2002-12-20 01:10:55 PM
Going berserk aint the answer, but I can't say the driver's anger was unjustified.

If the posted speed limit isn't safe due to an ongoing moose crossing, then why is it still the posted speed limit???

I hate selfrighteous a$$holes that feel the need to drive slow and "keep everybody safe" by keeping everybody trapped behind them.

Or getting behind some idiot weaving all over the road and going slow cuz his/her cell phone is ringing and they can't find it.

good for you. Remind me to chuckle appreciatively when I receive the news of your death in a vehicular accident due to high rate of speed. Truckers everyone have no farking respect for anyone else on the road and in general can rot in hell for their unsafe driving .

Slikrx while I agree that slow drivers are annoying, I've always had the courtesy to NOT beat the ever-living
╒uck out of their car while they and their infant are strapped inside.



I always, let them get out first.
 
2002-12-20 01:16:01 PM
It was probably just too much crank. I saw a trucker flip out at a Huddle House one time over the way his eggs were cooked.

Do us ALL a favor and you stay off the roads. Speed may increase the fatality rate of accidents, but one idiot blocking traffic can cause SEVERAL accidents because everyone is trying to get the fvck around him/her.

One great thing about the Michigan state troopers: IF traffic is moving at a speed higher than the limit (within reason) and some idiot is blocking traffic by doing the speed limit, they used to ticket the slow fvcker for "impeding the flow of traffic" or something similar.

Sometimes i miss Michigan...

Riggghttt. Well to heat the war up completely, if I hate to rate the shiatiest most dangerous drivers on the road in order it would be
1)Asian women
2) all other women
3) long haul truckers.

Now I'm the first person to get impatient with drivers under the speed limit unless the weather is really farking bad out, but the long haul truckers go 20 over the speed limit, two abreast on a fourl ane highway under whiteout conditions with black ice. FVCk 'em all... they are putting me in danger by driving like assholes.

Olapbill you forgot L.A. city bus drivers.
 
2002-12-20 01:37:03 PM
I hate living in New York, the drivers here are fvcking morons. They don't accelerate at a green light and then everyone is trapped at the light, waiting for them to actually accelerate to 20 miles under the speed limit. Then once you finally pass them, 2 minutes later that same car is passing you doing 30 over the speed limit. There are many traffic jams that should not happen here.

Serves the lady right for driving too slow. I hate people who drive under the speed limit. They should only be allowed
on the street when other people aren't driving. Between the hours of Midnight and 4am.

Well he did pass her. Twit should have done it sooner. Lady should have made him road pizza when he got out. fark if someone's going to intimidate me with a big metal stick when I'm sitting in a giant missle.

Mabye next time she'll know engough to get the fsck out of the way! Wish I had the balls to do what he did.

Last month, a trucker had the temerity to honk at me and try to pass me on a 2-lane road (one lane each way) when I slowed to an almost-stop to avoid killing stray dog in my lane. What the hell did he expect me to do?
 
2002-12-20 02:04:40 PM
Fiver- I believe he expected you to hit the dog. And rightly so.
 
2002-12-20 02:06:22 PM
I put in about 50K miles per year on the Interstates. I am always more than willing to let someone pass. My view is that if they want to go faster then me, more power to 'em. Let the state trooper waiting over the next hill paint them before me.

I call it "feeding the rabbit to the wolves".

RARRR!! Look at me! I'm someone who thinks every road was built for my sole use, and anyone else driving on them is trespassing! GRAAAAH!! How dare that person before me drive at or below the speed limit! Who does that asshole think he is? I'm an important person, and I need to get to where I'm going this instant! Out of my way you inferior driver! You do not know how to drive. Let me teach you how to drive, you pathetic excuse for a driver you! Can you not see me flashing my high beams at you? Can you not see me driving two inches away from your bumper? GRRR!! RAAAH!! ERRRR!!!

For the record, I do think that people who drive slow should let people pass. It's the polite thing to do, but that's no excuse, and I mean NO excuse for other people to act like assholes on the road. I hate you people, and you all deserve the firey inferno you will all eventually end up in.

In my humble opinion, folks here are getting way too angry at the woman in the car. OK, she was driving under the limit, but she was doing so on the advice of local law enforcement because of moose traffic.

Folks, if you hit a moose, you at least total your car, and could easily die. I'm willing to cut her some slack for slowing down.

Mind you, she should also pull over and let the a$$hole pass if he's that cranky. Let HIM hit the moose.

Crash_overide, that because New York drivers always stop on the pedestrian crosswalks

OK, so a chick driving a car in a heavily wooded area at night, maybe flicked her high beams at a trucker who had been riding her ass and flashing his own high beams at her for, apparently, miles and the trucker is justified in cutting her off and smashing the shiat out of her car and trying to bust in and get at her?
I like all these people talking about how she should have gotten out of his way. This is described as a 'major highway', yet it apparently is only one lane in each direction or it shouldn't have taken forever to get around her. I have no idea what kind of shoulders this kind of 'major highway' must have had, but I imagine they probably weren't wide and roomy.
She was driving a 'car'. That suggests to me a lower profile vehicle. This was an 'extreme moose crossing' area at night. You'd have to be a jackass to speed in that kind of vehicle in that kind of area, since moose are freaking huge bundles of flesh and bone perched on top of long as legs. Exactly the kind of legs that crumple and dump that big ol' bundle of flesh and bone directly into your windshield. Not a whole lot that crumple zones and airbags can do for you in that situation.
Yeah, as infuriating as slow ass drivers are, I don't understand the hostility directed at some poor chick who's trying to get home and not get herself and her child killed by plowing into a moose that will kill her if she hits it at high speed.
