My many encounters today

Some stupid *** woman tried to cut in between stopped red-light traffic from a parking lot and ran smack into some guy in the left turn lane. Smart move dumb ***.

More women driving aggressively and start honking right when the light turns green. I did verify that they were women.

Some biatch honked at my girl to move up so she can get into the left turn lane even though the lane had started to turn yellow.

Some other dumb *** lady almost hit me when I was in the left-turn lane just like in the first encounter.

And the final and worst encounter of today:
My front ALMOST got whacked by some ******* on the freeway cutting into my lane. He had only about 1/3 car length before me before running into my lane and almost crushed my right front. Luckily I reacted quickly and braked and swirved left (not into the left lane) in time otherwise my car would need to be in a shop. This is one of those times when I wish I had a gun. God damn motha fukas. I hope these kinds of *******s run into a tree and die before they hurt someone else.

I'm with you man there is alot of crazy people out there. Thats why i keep my neons on while i'm driving. I consider it a safety issue. Like when it was foggy outside i turned them on so they can see me. But i had so many encounters with big trucks and almost hiting me so i just fly by them now.

Well... when I'm in the fast lane and dumb asses are goin real slow and I get a chance.. If I'm bein pissy, I'll punch it and swerve right around them and cut them off at 80-100 by 1/4- a 1/3 of a car..

But I know my car.. it pisses me off when it's obvious form me flashing my lights and reving after 2 or 3 mintues of being behind this dumbass that people in the slower lanes are passing us and they refuse to get over..

Not saying that was you.. maybe he was just tryin to get somewhere qiuck.. but that is dumb.. I'm usually safer than that even in a hurry at 100.. that's bad unless he just really impatient and wasn't goin to have another chance to get around..

I'm dumb sometimes... but the problem with most freeway drivers is a lack of surveilence.. not just one lane each direction.. or just in front of you..
You gotta watch how traffic is moving in all the lanes, and try to catch the timing and estimate how each individual person will react to the situation. It's like chess... the way I 'wangan', some people just go and hope for the best.. some have strategy in mind, that adds to saftey..

I'm not trying to be sexist, but a bunch of women drive like crap. I don't think they give a crap, especially when they are driving their s***** *** cadillacs.

Just to clarify.. I am male.. lol
BUt I understand.. not all women are bad.. wmoen just have bad 'qiuck response'. THat is why small wrecks generally happen with women..
It's the big wrecks that are usually male induced.. i.e., cutting people off at 90 cause they are slow..

I was on the second-to-the-right lane going at about 70. I'm 2 lanes away from the far left lane. Not only that but there was no car behind me. I also know not to go 70 on the far left lane unless traffic in that lane is actually that slow.

I had a encounter like that except a 18 wheeler. I was parallel with the cab on 310 (Louisiana). He decided to QUICKLY change lanes. I of course was in the fast lane, no where to go but on the half shoulder and grass. I was on my horn the whole time, but WTF he wasnt paying attention. MFer

That's EXACTLY how I drive. I look at the traffic, I observe and I anticipate what each driver might or might not do. I don't think of it as a chess game, but I do try to analyze how everyone is going to react if someone suddenly changes lanes or if someone is going too slow. I've actually avoided several potential accidents by paying attention to the rest of the traffic. There are plenty of idiots behind the wheel out there, especially here in Houston. I hate it, but I have to live with it.

Plus, driving comes naturally to me. I don't really have to think about it, I just drive instinctively for some reason..

lol.. yup..
well, i mean, it was just an expression, chess game was just me saying its strategy.

I don't hink about it either... it's natural.. my girl actually mentioned to me about how closely I moniter traffic, my driving and the road. She says it's good... (but I didn't really talk to her a whole whole lot when I'm goin fast..) now I am better and try not to be act like a radar for traffic situations and talk to her.. but I still keep my eye open when she is there, otherwise.. I just started listening to music in my car again.. I pay lot of attention, and yeah, I have avioded numerous accidents being so watchfull..

I saw a guy a few weeks back in a trunk in front of me getting edgy because we couldn't go anywhere with the lanes blocked by slowasses.. I stay calm and wait for an opening.. this guy is movin to every direction but backwards of the Ion's ***.. a see a small opening, go.. next thing he is there.. and just up the road I see another spot of slow so I move to the fast lane as it is going the inth degree faster.. and he was in the middle lane, again red f150 and all riding *** so hard youd have thought he was brown-nosing the guy at the office, then tries to cut so close he taps this camry in the slow lane, nail him right in the headlights and front of the fender and sends the camry into the ditch at like 60-70mph... of course he nearly spins back and into the middle lane into the exlpoder he just passed and manages to correct himself and slows down.. if I hadn't been watching, knowing he was more likely to do somethin like that (without the skill too), I might not have left an obesse amount of room for he to get in front of me.. (18 wheeler in the fast lane in front of me the whole time..).

BTW: I love your sig rookie.. that is what my best friend said to me the day he took me out to 'show' me what 'cutting' really was.. I nearly **** myself on the first one, then the second was worse but I was ok, then the 3rd we should have hit 3 different people cut-cut-cut, and my boy who also cut hard then nearly **** himself, but I was laguhing.. I had to face the fear of it.. it's all about the timing and understanding of peoples reactions.
