If
- traffic needs to merge into your lane
- traffic has a very short space in which to merge
- there is relatively heavy traffic in your lane, NEXT TO AN EMPTY LANE

MOVE. OVER.

Dear dumbass woman,
You were driving 20mph in a 35mph zone, so I tailgated you. You proceed to flip me off multiple times as a line of traffic builds up behind you. This only aggravates the situation. If you are afraid to drive, take the bus. People have places to be.

5/29/2008 2:28:20 PM

FYI, NC law says that you only need to use your turn signals when it will affect other drivers.
Unfortunately, people don't understand that if you are driving on the road, then you will affect other drivers.

WOLO, learn it, love it.
Wipers on, Lights on. Why do you insist on driving with your lights off when it is pooring rain, just because it is day time?

Pass, and move over. Or, just move out of the way if someone is trying to go faster.

Blinkers:

1) Use them.

2) Know them.

2: In the left lane, with a signal on, and oncoming traffic, the fact that my left blinker is flashing away tells even the most inbred retards on the roads around here that the reason I'm not moving from a green light because I'm going to make a left turn. I really should have taken my dear old sweet time accelerating. As it was, the only reason I did not get out of my car and come tell you that, yes, your horn does work is because you had brown skin and I had the sneaking suspicion that English isn't your native language. Yesterday was that bad.

From a medblog, and a post called 'I just want three things in life'

Quote :

"2. I want people to move the right-hand lane. It's like they have a meeting every morning and make the decision to drive in front of me, blocking both lanes at ten miles under the speed limit. I have 3 kids, a day job and a part-time job. My life is measured in milliseconds and I cherish every one of them. If you continue to torment me, I will stop taking my meds, hunt you down and kill you and then plead temporary insanity and get away with it and do you know why? Because the Judge was late for my hearing due to some jackass driving slow in the left-hand lane. Jackass."

7/2/2008 3:55:23 PM

we could use our poll skewing abilities to have signs put up on 440/540/40 that say left lane is for passing only or sumn

7/2/2008 4:05:46 PM

You do not have to match the speed of the LEO in the right lane.

If he's going ten below the speed limit, it is completely okay to go 10mph faster than the trooper

You can turn right on red.

I hate drivers who sit at a red light when they can turn right (i.e., traffic isn't preventing them from turning), waiting for a green in order to turn.

This is especially prevalent at southbound Hammond Rd and 440. Motherfucker, I'm a mile down the road from you. You can turn right. Stop making me catch the light because you're a fucking dumbass.

In NYC its illegal to turn right on red anywhere. I just moved back to NC and am still readjusting. I keep finding myself sitting at lights to turn red and then be like "oh!". Luckily, nobody's come up behind me yet and honked

8/8/2008 11:28:40 AM

Today I was going south on College and was turning left in Wrightsville so I proceded to get in the left hand lane as traffic going straight was stopped. This bitch, who i'm guessing thought in her Big SUV owned the road, with no turn signal cut me off in the left turning lane. At this point I suppose she thought she was above teh law and not wanting to wait for the green arrow; made an illegal U-turn about 20 ft before the intersection. All while blabbing on the FUCKING CELL PHONE. The kicker is when i lit up my horn and my finger, after she nearly side swiped me making the illegal u-turn, she flicked me off back.

I hope this fat cunt made it to the Krispy Kreme in time before "Hot N Now" sign went off. She was probably bitching on her cell phone "some jerk flicked me off for no reason, yada yada yada..."

I was going about 40 down Gorman towards Western the other day, and someone decided I was going too slow so they passed me when there was a double yellow. I think this is illegal?

And damn, if you're in that much of a hurry somebody better need to go to the hospital.

12/16/2008 11:03:15 AM

double yellow is illegal to pass on. but hey, as always, only illegal if you get caught.

12/16/2008 11:04:58 AM

ATTN out of state drivers: It is illegal to turn left on red from a one way street onto another one way street in NC. I know it sounds stupid and most other states allow it, but we do not. It will make everybody's downtown driving experiences better if you chill out.

12/16/2008 11:14:32 AM

average speed on 440 in the AM is about 75, i usually get tailgated going 10 over. (speed limit is 60).

I drive 5 over in the left lane for about a mile on one part of Gorman all the time.

If you really feel like you need to go 10 over inside the city limits and pass me, that's fine. I'm not changing lanes two times for you and I don't want to get a ticket. Deal with it.

4/9/2009 7:47:12 PM

Use the turning lane to slow down when there's room. Don't practically stop in the lane of traffic BEFORE getting over. It's annoying as hell. Also, make sure the ass end of your car isn't sticking out of the lane.

I had someone do this to me the other day on Capital at the Atlantic Ave on-ramp. I ended up driving through the shoulder and right onto the Wake Forest Rd on-ramp instead of coming to a complete stop. Chick wouldn't give up ten feet to let me move into an actual traffic lane.

4/9/2009 8:15:06 PM

I got two good ones



-Last week on wrightsville beach i saw a parking space ahead of me; available for a parallel park. I put my turn signal on a good 50 ft before the spot to show the driver behind, I then slowed down, and reached a stop to the side of the car in front of the empty space, and put reverse lights on. As I get ready to reverse what do i see; a Jeep a couple seconds behind me, roll up, even with plenty of room to reasonably stop at a place to let me park, but instead gets right behind my bumper.

My girlfriend was like "just find somewhere else"; and i was like no fuck that. So i sat that for a good two minutes with my reverse lights on till the fucker finally decides to give up, reverses, and drives around me. Some truck full of stoner new jersey tourist fucks behind the jeep than beeps at me, shouting, giving the finger as they drive around me too. As soon as both were gone I was in the space, probably one of my best parallel jobs, in about 6 seconds.

Had that jeep bitch gotten off the phone or not have been a dumb fuck she could have gotten where she wanted a lot sooner.


-Last night I was coming home from dinner and was driving about 35-40 through a 25 mph residential two lane road. This jeep behind me (pure coincidence that last story was a jeep also) must have really been in a hurry, although not right on my ass, they were following pretty damn close. I usually have a short temper about this kinda shit but i was in a good mood so i decided to just ignore it. So about 1/2 mile down the road i approach the street where i live; I decide to be courteous (instead of a dick to Mr. Jeep following close douche bag) and put on my right turn signal with plenty of indication that HEY FUCKER I'M TURNING RIGHT. So at my street i lightly tap the brakes enough for me to make the turn like a reasonable driver. While doing so the jeep fucking lays down on the horn; and i see someone yelling out the window. Sorry cocksucker that i didn't use my quattro handling action to make my turn like Jeff Gordon at a NASCAR race to prevent any further impedance to your travels from me driving 15mph instead of 25+mph over the speed limit to begin with.

When i'm going 10+ over in the left lane and people tail me, i slow down below the speed of the car to my right. THen when they get back over i speed back up. Rinse. Repeat. Lol.

An officer tried to pull over a driver for speeding on Varsity Drive, near Avent Ferry Road, around 1:45 a.m., police said. The driver accelerated, and his vehicle struck three parked vehicles. Police said the driver abandoned the wrecked car and ran into a nearby apartment complex. Police were still looking for the driver."

"Troopers: Slow driver caused wreck on I-40 Posted: Today at 5:51 a.m. FAISON, N.C. — State troopers charged a 65-year-old man they say was driving slowly on Interstate 40 in Sampson County, causing a wreck early Monday. Troopers said that John Henry Watkins, of Garner, was driving a pickup truck at 10 mph in the left lane of I-40 East through Faison around 1 a.m. The driver of a Honda Accord driver saw Watkins' truck in the lane ahead of him. Both drivers tried to swerve into the right lane at the same time, troopers said. The vehicles collided, and Watkins' pickup ran off the road and overturned. Both drivers are expected to be OK, troopers said. Watkins was charged with impeding traffic and failure to comply with a driver's license restriction limiting him to driving in daytime hours. Eastbound lanes of I-40 were shut down for a while after the wreck."

One thing I've noticed when I drive on the interstate is that whenever there is a cop on the road it makes traffic even worse...

I'm sure this isn't a new observation at all, but damn it annoys the hell out of me...

You're driving just fine, great flow of traffic and then all of a sudden everyone slows down and traffic backs up and you're like wtf....

Then when traffic picks back up and you're going fine again you notice a state trooper exiting off the interstate...

It's most annoying when you slow down below the speed limit...fuckers he isn't gonna pull you over just cause you pass him especially if you're going the speed limit or a few over!

I also hate it when people hit their brakes when they see a cop on the other side of the road...when there is a median barrier especially...do you really think he is going to magically make his car hop over that thing and come and get you?

2/22/2010 9:52:39 AM

^well if you get pulled over for passing a cop on the interstate while going the speed limit then that will get dropped with a quickness...even if you are going just one or two mph over

A state trooper isn't going to waste his time writing tickets for one or two over when there are people going 20+ over

My buddy sweet actually got pulled for passing a cop. I can't remember if the cop was going 5 under the speed limit (with my friend going the limit) or he slowly overtook the cop going like 2-3 over the speed limit. Either way he thought nothing about passing the state trooper only to be pulled over by him. When he asked the cop why he was pulled the troopers response was that "son you should have enough common sense to know not to pass cops in this state."

They are "cracking down" on speeding here in wilmington, in particular on Market St heading downtown. One of the stories was some cop bragging that he pulled a woman for going 6 over only to find out she had a suspended license. Are cops that fucking bored where they are pulling people for going 41 in a 35; but ZOMG its the LAW!!

Another story was about some cop getting a boner for pulling some guy for not wearing his setbelt.

2/25/2010 9:14:08 PM

I think so i can't remember...

2/25/2010 9:17:08 PM

Of course he was breaking the law, he was speeding. 1mph over, 5mph over, 50mph over, they don't care. We're all criminals in their eyes because, well,....we are criminals.

I passed an RPD officer on the beltline once: 1mph over. He pulled me over with a quickness. Ultimately, he let me go, but not right away: "You still live at [address]?"; "Where are you going?"; "Do you think that's an excuse to speed?"; "You didn't think you could speed and get away with it, did you?"; "Don't you know better than to pass a cop?"

I have no qualms passing LEO if they're going under the speed limit. Damn near all the time, I got nothing better to do than waste his/her time should they decide to pull me.

2/25/2010 9:23:52 PM

1 mph over lol.

I would have laughed and told him to prove it. The error in his radar, the calibration of your speedometer, are all factors in which there is no credibility for him to cite you with exceeding the speed limit unless he can otherwise say you were driving recklessly.
