   Not sure which makes my blood boil worse behind the wheel. That or being stuck behind someone doing it to someone else so I cannot go on ahead at the speed I desire.

   I’ve seen it going on three lanes wide around here. Usually sets me off on a rant about NASCAR.

   Not sure what causes the Mario Andretti syndrome. Speeding up to sit in my blind spot has me wanting to fling some lead half the time.

   Since Og mentioned blind spot, I’ll assume he means they hang to the left of him at his back wheel, just out of shot of the side view mirror.

   For years I’ve assumed there’s a population out there just cruising for insurance money. Pedestrians and cyclists who magically veer into your path at the worst possible moment, drivers who don’t use headlights or markers, who slam on the brakes in the middle of the street for no apparent reason, who like Og said hang in that blind spot, who drift to the left as you’re passing them, who drive 20 m.p.h. when you’re trapped behind them but find the accelerator when you go to pass and hang you out there, drivers in the right lane who know you want to move over but speed match you to stay put next to you so you miss your turn.

   My only goal is to transport my passengers and me in a safe, timely manner.

   Exactly correct, MTS. Bastards drive me batshit crazy. ier.

   As a (ex) truckie, the worst of these were the motorcyclists who insisted on riding in the very large blind spot behind my truck. And ALWAYS they would dive out and pass me just when I’d turned my indicators on to change lane, and then give me the finger as if I was the one who’d done the wrong thing.

   Far too many of the driving public are total idiots when it comes to their driving.

   When I took my motorcycle class, they unloaded 150 motorcyles off a truck and placed them all around it, and you could sit in the drivers seat of the truck and NOT SEE ONE OF THEM. A powerful demonstration.

   Yeah, that drives me bugshit, almost as much as the idiots who wait to slow down until you get behind them.

    I live in NJ, home of some of the worst drivers in the world.

    Typical annoyances:

    Speeding up to pass me on the right as soon as I turn my signal on to change lanes and get my exit.

    Passing me, changing lanes in front of me, and slowing down 20 mph.

    Thinking that the turn signal confers right of way.

    Alternately, refusing to use the turn signal. (A pet peeve of mine, I’ve sat waiting to make a right turn while FIVE cars made a right into the street I was on, without signalling to tell me they’re going that way so I could go).

    Insisting on squeezing in FRONT of me to change lanes so you can exit, when there’s plenty of room behind me.

    Cutting me off when you come out from behind a stop sign when there’s nothing behind me.

    Oh, when I see someone going 15 mph below the speed limit, with one set of wheels on either side of the white lines, HANG THE FUCK UP AND DRIVE THE CAR!

    Hmm.

    What’s Latin for “Get Out Of My Blind Spot, Satan”?
