This girl has a pretty funny blog entry that basically outlines how she handles tailgaters — which can be summed up with slams on the breaks. I just want to say that I’m glad I have never been behind her! :X
Here is a funny excerpt:
Mr. Tailgater didn’t like that very much and inched up even closer to my ass. To really prove his point, he started flicking his headlights on and off. I gave him the finger. He responded by laying on his horn.
Livid, I picked up my cell phone and dialed my friend’s phone number. I’m going to be late, I calmly told her, I’m about to get into a traffic accident. Then I turned off my phone and slammed on my brakes.
This woman only serves as a proof that women shouldn’t be allowed to drive. She may have written this blog entry to show that people she encountered are jerks, but what comes off is that everyone can tell she is the complete a$$hole. I cannot believe there exists such inconsiderate person. She is the reason why America has a problem. I’m actually posting here in hopes she’ll read this since she disabled comments on her blog (probably knowing she’ll get countless responses against her actions).
First of all, the fast lane is called fast lane for a reason. Like she said, the slow lane is more than clear, so MOVE TO THE SLOW LANE if she’s going to drive slow. You can’t blame tailgaters for tailgating you if you’re not driving fast on the fast lane. As for the second incident on the one-lane road, she is just a complete b!tch. Look, sometimes people need to drive fast for a reason. The guy might have just needed to pee really bad at that time. There are reasons people drive fast (-er than speed limit and on the fast lane), and start tailgating if you are blocking the way. What if the car carries a pregnant woman and she’s about to give birth? What if there is an injured person in there needing to go to ER? What if the driver simply needs to pee? There are reckless drivers in the world who drive fast just because, but you can’t ignore those who drive fast for a reason. I’m sure you wouldn’t want an a$$hole driving 15mph on a 45mph one-lane road when you are trying to get to the hospital because your wife is about to give birth. Be considerate, people. The world doesn’t revolve around you only. Other people actually exist. It’s funny that, on the FAQ, she talks all this talk about teaching people parenting and obesity because it affects the society as a whole, yet she herself is such an inconsiderate a$$hole who doesn’t give a jack about other people. I’m so glad I’ve never met such a person in my life (yet) and if I do meet this person one day in that same incident, I’m going to come up with a counter to that “I saw an animal” crap so that I can see the look on her face and watch her jaws drop.
okay, I take back on the first sentence about women drivers. I do know a good number of good women drivers to counter that stereotype. I was too furious when I first began typing my comment. However, the rest of my post stays true.
You bring up some great points, especially the part about if you are going slow in the fast lane, move to a slower lane…. and the fact that sometimes you just have to pee. lol, i know i have done some crazy driving in aims to take a leak before.
I think a LOT of “almost accidents” happen because the flow of traffic gets blocked up by people driving too slow in fast lanes, or too fast in slow lanes. Of course you do have some dicks that jet in and out of lanes and thats just dangerous at any speed.
Thanks for commenting and i agree that there are plenty of women who are great drivers. My GF is a good example, she can parallel park perfectly and if she is gonna drive slow she will drive in the slow lane! lol
Oh yeah, i wanted to say thanks for commenting HH.
well driving slow in fast lane is bitchy, but in single lane i respect her actions. tailgating REALLY gets me nervous. since most of the time i drive others cars, i dont slam on brakes and get more problems as that extra hour of TIME is more valuable for me than having fun while fucking with some assholes, i just drive off to the right of the lane so the crazy drivers pass me and done.
but really, get your time managed (the only solution) and dont drive fast, fuckers 😛
LoL Very true.
You’re just a fucking bitch, plain and simple. No regard for others? You think the world was created just for your skanky ass? Narcissistic individuals, and believe me, you are a classic example, shouldn’t have the privilege and luxury of driving. You are the perfect specimen of argument. If I was the man you slammed your breaks on and then lied to the officers about what really caused the accident, I would have really done some body damage on your skanky ass right then and there. No holds bar! Too bad you didn’t slip off the road and hit a bulldozer head on. I bet your husband was praying like hell that night and was really disappointed when you walked through the door. He’s just waiting for that day he is able to pull the plug and just let you go to your own personal hell. You do something like that to me, I guarantee it’ll be the last time you do anything. It’s just a matter of time before someone does anyway. Your license should be revoked and you should never be allowed behind anything unless it has handle bars. Narcissists don’t care about other sides of a human being’s life. They don’t care if your wife is going into labor and the placenta has torn away from the lining of the uterus, they don’t care if your child is in dire need of medical attention and dies, they don’t care if your wife is having a heart attack right then and there on the freeway or highway. No one chooses their plights in life, but you can choose how you drive. Do us all a favor and find a rock to crawl under.
What if my kid was having an asthma attack two miles away and I was the only one with access to an asthma inhalor? Why is it okay for Super Hero Chick to feel entitled to the fast lane, at 15 mph, but someone else who may NEED to go faster than the state tells them is safe to drive is not allowed to go through the appropriate way?
Why does Ms. Superhero feel the urge to force others to live their lives around her? What about her Kamikaze tactics makes her a superhero, as opposed to a terrorist? Ms Superhero holds no moral high ground, simply acts like a bratty child. I hope that’s not your idea of what a hero is.
Erm hello commenters below. Did you read the post? She was driving slow because the roads were DANGEROUS! If he wanted to pass her, he could have used the slow lane. Read the thing and understand why she was driving slow in the fast lane.
“I was driving slowly because the roads were icy and unsafe. Excuse me for not wanting to risk my life so some idiot could shave 2 minutes off of his driving time”
If you have an emergency, I imagine that’s what the emergency services like the COPS and the AMBULANCE to handle. They’d get there faster considering the icy roads and that they have helicopters!
“Legally, however, I’m in the clear since when you rear end someone, it’s always your fault. A person has got to maintain a safe following distance”.
Let me highlight an important part of that post. “A person has to maintain a SAFE following distance.”
See the word safe? Cars are weapons which is why you got to be careful driving it. All those moaned about emergencies, yeah by saving your kid’s life (which could have been done by calling 911!) you’ll be killing other strangers. What kind of morals do you people have?
“To really prove his point, he started flicking his headlights on and off. I gave him the finger. He responded by laying on his horn.”
Do you know how scary that can be for first time drivers? Do you?
Anyone who accused her of being a narc is one themselves. The roads don’t belong to you so maybe you should use them safely!
Also, 2 miles away? You’d never get there in time for the asthma attack.
