I work on the road and some times I need to drive equipment to and from a job site on the road, unlike many of my constitutes I let traffic by when ever I can safely do it . Friday was one of those days .

I was driving a broom tractor in ,it will only do 18 MPH at best, Any way I was going threw another work zone where they had one lane coned off as they were paving ant the coned lane was covered with fresh tar waiting for the equipment to catch up,

So I get close to the end of the work zone and see that I can safely get over on the fresh tar to let traffic behind me go by, and I did but the fools behind me follow me into it too. As I turned the corner I looked back and they were still coming threw the cones and the fresh tar.

If it had been any place else they would have gone around me but if one car does it they all do, Monkey See Monkey do LOL

People are like sheep. They follow with no regard for what they are following. You just proved it.

I almost got hit by a flying mattress today.

All bad.

I was driving up SR-51 in Phoenix a few months back and some idiot failed to tie down a pile of down pillows in his truck bed. Needless to say, they ended up on the freeway and were were immediately run over. There were white feathers EVERYWHERE, and it seriously looked like it was "snowing" in Phoenix, lol.

Cromp, all we need now is a nice set of 600ct 100% cotton sheets. Nap time!

It is my opinion that ...2% (being generous here) of the drivers on the road today actually know what the word YIELD means.

Yield, yield... *taps chin* Doesn't that mean drive faster?

byrnison sent me this link one day.... Las Vegas has really bad drivers, I can't speak for the locals but the "new" imports, from LA and NYC.... OMFG.

NYC doesn't have great drivers, taxi cab drivers make the rules and set the pace.

Funny thing like this happened in Toronto recently. They were laying new concrete or something and there was only 1 open lane. A bunch of cars went through the new concrete and some of them got stuck.

Cynthetiq, those drivers were amazing!

blahblah454 · 11-04-2007, 10:36 AM

Serves the retards right, I hope that it never comes off there cars.

Drivers got stuck in Cement?!? HAHAHA!!! That would be amazing to see.

Just watched those vidoes, its amazing what people will do.
I can't believe the #2 video. Its like she didn't understand that her wheel had to be turned in opposite direction while reversing in order to get the car to complete its turn, she just thought that when you put the car in reverse it automatically turns... and then she hits the parked car 3 (!!!!) times and then just drives away.

leetrice · 11-07-2007, 01:31 AM

The thread title reminded me of an xkcd comic:

Because I read it as "dumb ass-drivers".

No wonder they stuck Langley in Va.
You will be dead before ya find it.

When I worked at the shipyard in Newport News, every morning was a crap shoot.

Ended up getting T-boned at high speed on their well planned out thorough-fares.

Yikes.

yellowmac · 11-07-2007, 06:27 PM

The thing that really bothers me about where I'm living right now is the sheer percentage of cars without their headlights on at night... I've seen about 2-3/month, and I wonder how they can get away with it...
