if there are 18k motorcyclists in LA and lane splitting was not legal would you want 18k more vehicles out on the roads as opposed to having them lane split their way off so they are out of the way and they can get home faster and there are less vehicles out on the road to prevent you from getting from where you need to be? and congestion is not the only reason why it became legal, it was also proven in studies that lane splitting prevents accidents regarding motorcyclists and distracted drivers and deaths of motorcyclists went down since lane splitting became legal im sorry if this comes off as offensive but if you were paying attention to the roads and checking your mirrors, you would not be startled by motorcyclists lane splitting and what you're doing is in fact illegal(its called impeding traffic) honestly you sound like one of those ignorant cagers who hate the fact that motorcyclists can just pass you while you're stuck in traffic sitting there

I've learned that if you drive a nice car, you have to be extra nice no matter what because people do stupid things to you and your car because they know we care a little more. To avoid keying, quartering, and brake checking, I don't flip the bird or honk in aggression (unless my safety is as risk).
Generally I'm a nice drive. If your turn signal comes on, I slow down to let you in. If you're overtaking me, I move over. I like being a nice driver because for all I know, I just made someone's day who has been having a rough one. It makes me feel better and it's safer to be less aggressive. I will say that if you ride slow in the fast lane, I will pass you and cut it close with no turn signal to let ya know that you need to move over. Just my .02

LMFAO.
I bully people only when they ride on my tail. Some people just dont learn their lesson. Sometimes I wanna ask do you have some serious mental issues when people do that. You are a lost cause. |

I cannot stand the drivers in the area I live. Here in Marina del Rey/Venice/Santa Monica most of the drivers act like they are entitled to drive how they want, and own the road. Nothing but self involved, self absorbed idiots. Most of the time it seems to be Priuses that think their car is blazingly fast, and act as such. That, and women who think they own the roads in their Mercs and drive down the center of the lines. Oh, and don't get me started on the ones that cut you off, then throw their arms in the air like WTF! How are you going to cut me off, then act like I did something wrong!

Ive lived all over Florida and by far HERE is the worst Ive ever seen. WE have a HUUUUUGE foreign population here and they cant drive for ****! If its 45 they do 30 or 35 everywhere they go. They will pull out in front of you while your doing 50 and do 30 then slam on brake and do 25 or turn into another street. They will pull out and cross all 3 lanes of traffic really quick just to turn into a shopping complex meanwhile everyone else comes to a stop because they have to get in there! Ive seen them sit at left green lights and we get the arrow, they turn their right blinker on and just sit there and NO ONE can turn left then! I see that one all the time!!! grrr. I just blow their doors off and flick em off no matter which car im driving. Ive gone around them in the grass or passed double yellow lines etc. I just dont get it, they come here and have NO clue how to drive or follow the rules. No where else have I ever seen it this bad and ive done LOTS of driving in my time. I could go ON and ON, my wife has road rage now since moving here and shes does EXACTLY the speed limit wherever she goes and they make her look like a speed demon. Ive also seen more accidents here than any city ive ever lived in Florida Eva!!!! I better stop now, just liek they do at ALL RR tracks....ugggh /facepalm. complete stops!!!!!
Rant ending FOR NOW.....hahaha

I'm generally NOT a bully, BUT, last week driving home an idiot driving an Infinity SUV passed me in the left lane of a 3 lane interstate highway as I was overtaking a slower car, cuts in front of me and decided the alignment of the planets made it the correct time to wash his windshield which splattered my clean car than sped off. I don't subscribe to being annoyed while driving my Z, but I made an exception this one time and increased my speed to overtake the speeding SUV and returned the window wash the SUV lost.

I blame cell phones and make up for most of my road rage. My wife and I like to glance into every car we pass to see what the driver is up to. 70% are texting or trying to dial a number on their phone. I have almost perfected a way to guess this as well, they start slowing down for no apparent reason. They think letting their foot off of the gas pedal makes it safer I guess. That or they are to f’ing stupid to do both. Any time early morning on work days I would say 20-30 cars I pass there is a female putting on makeup while driving. People that inch forward at lights make me want to go tasmanian devil in my car also, especially when it cause the person behind me to end up inches from my rear bumper. THE LIGHT IS RED YOUR NOT GOING ANYWHERE!!!!!!!!
Im curious and joked about getting a blood pressure cuff to check before I leave my home and when I arrive at my destination. Im to the point that I think driving is bad for my health. As far as the bully part I can be at times but for the most part I just get super angry and keep it to myself and my wife lol.

what i really dont like is the ignorance behind lane splitting laws and the emotion behind them as well(i cant tell you how many times i have seen people get pissed that a motorcyclist passed them up in traffic because it isnt "fair", heck you dont see people whine about 1000hp cars street racing at 200+mph on the highways and that imo is much more of a danger than some squid looking to get himself killed while riding his sport bike back to what my reply was saying though, you cant tell me that is someone who is splitting lanes in traffic at 10mph assuming you're completely stopped(legally they can only go 10 above traffic flow until it is no longer considered safe by a LEO) has startled you for any reason other than being a typical cager and not paying attention and on top of that, it is safer for the motorcyclists to be lane splitting in traffic than it is for them to just be sitting there behind a car where a distracted driver will not see them

It's so annoying when I'm 1/2 mile away from the next exit that it's not worth passing the vehicle up front.

living near colleges/public school/freeway enterances sucks.
Especially when having to be at work at 8am. Some people are slow and some are crappy drivers that are driving fast and cutting people. I've been tailgated several times, but i sometimes enjoy doing the engine break on them and see their impression on my rear view mirror. When they change lane to have a chance to cut me, i just press on the gas to even out with the car next to my lane to make it impossible for the tailgater. |
