This was probably the most idiotic move I have seen since I've lived out here....

We were driving North on 347 (towards chandler) and there was a small amount of congestion due a truck in the right lane and a car in the left holding up both lanes. This IDIOT in a beige Tahoe decided that he/she (?) was going to pass the truck ON THE RIGHT using the TURNING LANE meant for the trucks to pick up speed after turning off of Casa Blanca. The truck saw the stupid Tahoe, and eased over a little (probably to try and scare him) but the Tahoe just sped up and kept going all in the gravel.....spewing all that rubble up onto the highway behind him. The funny thing is...he was RIGHT next to us when we pulled up at the Riggs light...yeah buddy, that got you real far didn't it?????

I leave Maricopa about 4:15a and I see this about once a week.  There's always some jerk in the left lane pacing a guy in the right.  And about once a week, someone uses the right merge lane, after the cement plant ,to pass on the right.



I plan on living forever, so far so good.
Cigarettes are stupid. If you are going to smoke something, it might as well get you high.

You know, I can almost understand the maneuver. If the car I drive had a little more get up and go, I'd probably do it myself some mornings. I mean, there is absolutely no reason that both lanes should be going under the speed limit. There was one morning that the only time I made it up to 65 was when I first pulled out of RED. If I had been able to pass in the acceleration lane, I probably would have done it just to get out from behind all the morons!

I didn't say we were going under the speed limit. And if you think that is LEGAL or SAFE- you're just as dumb as them. No wonder we have so many accidents here in Maricopa....

Since I started setting my cruise control at 55 my gas mileage has improved along with my road rage. I stay to the right and wave as everybody FLIES past me, then I wave again as I pass them at the stoplights and at I-10. It's really quite amusing, in a sad sort of way...

I wanna get a bumper sticker that says " I drive the speed limit. Get over and get over it!"

I thought about that when I was driving back from California this past Sunday on the 10 freeway near Vicksburg. The speedlimit is 75... 75!!!!! I was in the right lane, doing the speed limit and had at least 4 cars get up on my bumper and flash their lights. It's all good though. It's morons like that that keep the cops busy. =)

A word to the wise ain't necessary -- it's the stupid ones that need the advice.
