Default Attention Drivers

If you regularly do any of the following while driving you are an unsafe driver and an inconsiderate fuck and the world would be a better place without you. Fuck you.

1. Don't use a turn signal to communicate to other drivers your intended direction of travel.
2. Talk on your cell phone while driving with one hand.
3. Stare in your rear-view mirror and apply makeup.

4. drive considerably slower than the posted speed limit during good driving conditions
5. speed up while other drivers try to pass, and then slow down again when they are behind you.
6. cut in front of other vehicles when you turn, especially when there are no other vehicles for miles

SOP for ALL Seattle drivers. Left lane squatters with "this lane BELONGS" to me attitudes...until 100ft before their exit....3 lane swoop, no mirror checks...ya, that's how THEY roll...

#5 What is this about anyway? Happens to me daily. I ride with my cruise control on. Why DO people speed up as you are trying to pass them??

Yep...can't stand to be one-upped....generally everything in life is a competition to them as well. Often accompanies Napoleon/entitlement complex

Do you think that about ALL of them though? I have a 100 mile a day commute, all highway. I do think many are just being jerks but I also think that most people are SHEEP. I think some don't even realize they are speeding up.

After driving 500 miles a week for 13 years on the exact same route it seems like some drivers operate more like a flock of birds. They just travel at whatever speed the other drivers are going, they don't think for themselves.

Kelly didn't you say this word? Sheple?

#8 Drive well below the posted speed limit in adverse conditions because you can't drive in the snow!

I can actually deal with this, if the conditions are poor. I would rather have them drive slow and be ok than drive too fast and get in a wreck with me or someone else.
