Crazy drivers email this discussion to a friend?

dragonsouls (40)3 months ago

Hi everyone, I live in Killeen TX and let me tell you there are some really crazy drivers around here. I saw on the news that someone got cut off so they followed the guy and shot at him. These people don't pay any attention to others on the road. It's not everyone but theres a lot of them. It really pays off to be a defensive driver around here.

I was driving to the store the other day and I almost got hit like 3 times. I was just driving along minding my own business and this guy pulled out from a parking lot and didn't see me coming I guess. I slammed on my brakes and turned away at the same time my car was almost sideways. It's a good thing my brakes work really well.

Then you got these people who don't put there blinkers. The second almost crash was from one of them. I had enough space but the guy was just cruising along and out of nowhere slams his breaks and turn into a road. Again I was freaking out 2 in one day. The 3rd time I was still trying to get to the store and someone changed lanes and didn't see me. I honked my horn and hit the brakes and just before he ran into me he saw me and swerved back into his lane. Wow what a crazy day it was. anyways does anyone else have any crazy driver stories?

Hi dragonsouls,

Too many to count on my fingers. Just yesterday on the way to an Appointment at least two drivers swerved straight in front of us without indicating lights or nothing just wedged their way in there and no looking back. Twice in about five minutes good job too that my Husband is quick and sees them coming.
This was in the traffic in the City but on the Motorway in spite of all the new restrictions they are still doing their own thing. If they want to go fast they will come up behind you and sit on the back tail of your car and try to make you go faster they do this if they are unable to take in that moment.
There are so many other things that would make this drag on and on. Nutty drivers we have plenty of those.

Thats drives me nuts to when there pull right up on your but. I swear they are trying to drive into your trunk or something. They don't realize that when they do that we have to back give ourselves more space just in case they make a mistake.

It seems like some people just don't care about the restrictions. It must be nice not having to worry about getting a ticket.

Hiya dragonsouls,They drive me nuts too and they even try to overtake you from the other side of the Car when you have to give way on a Roundabout and let other Cars past they get impatient and swing straight out in front of you on the wrong side. I´ve seen it done.
They also make rude gestures to you because you are doing it right and they are doing it wrong.
Patience is a virtue. It´s no better where I am as you can see although most People don´t use Shotguns they use their fists and knives this is very common here.
Spanish Drivers not all of them of course are hot tempered and volatile notice I said not all of them it´s just the few that spoil it for everyone else.

well i used to live in the houston area years ago and i know drivers are crazy there as every big city. what got me was how much they love to blow their horns in texaslol all the time thats all you hear. once here in AZ i was at the post office waiting for a truck to back out and i guess she was waiting for me to back out. anyway when i finally decided to go ahead i slowly backed out only to hear her cussing me and giving me the finger. she followed me for a while and because of road rage it scared me. so i bent over like i was getting something from my glove compartment and glanced back and thats when she finally turned. rolleyes
