Paul-the new guy Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I hate all the people down here (I am in Florida) that crash when it rains even the smallest amount and mess up traffic for everyone else... All of these same people will blame Florida drivers and will be sure an tell you "I learned to drive up north in the ice and snow" Well 1) get 20 people together and ask them where they are from you may get 1 from Florida... 2) I have friends "up north" it seems very common to wreck up there... Maybe since they learned to drive in the ice and snow they think when the roads get a little slick you are supposed to spin in circles... lol this is all in fun.... kind of ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 We also seem to get a lot of out of State plates involved in accidents when the streets get slick, especially ice and snow which are happily somewhat rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngeyes Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Remember, we have to deal with those fools the other half of the year. Stop sending them back. And yes, spinning in circles on the road is a blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CZinSC Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Took a class with Manny Bragg last year between Christmas and NYE. Got on I-95 where it intersects I-26 just north of Charleston. From there until well past Jacksonville, the roads were jammed with cars from every state on the East coast all heading south...most of them with Blue Hairs behind the wheel. Just to keep this within the I Hate guidelines.....I HATE when these Blue Hairs sit in the Left lane and drive 55 MPH. Unfortunately they can't see past their BluBlockers to see the road signs that say the speed limit is 65-70!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Round_Gun_Shooter Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) I blame it on the eye doctors. Like the guy that told my Mother she would be all set driving as long as it was a bright sunny day. Yup, Florida Doctor. EDIT TO ADD: I thought this was going to be a NY vs Boston Hate rant.

snertley Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I grew up in ND and now live in MN. For the last 20+ years on the day of the first snow that stays on the ground I will not leave my house unless I HAVE to go to work. Most drivers out there (doen't matter where you are) are terrible drivers at their best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul-the new guy Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 I further hate people who don't get up to speed on the on ramp and then sometimes even stop at the end!!! I also hate people who stop 3 car lengths back from the car in front of them at a light... if the would all pull up I could get into the left turn lane instead of just sitting there wishing...

CZinSC Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I further hate people who don't get up to speed on the on ramp and then sometimes even stop at the end!!! Thank you!! This absolutely drives me nuts. It's called an "Acceleration Lane" for a G-D reason. I get it when the on ramp is super short, but when there is a 1/4 mile long on ramp, you need to be going at least 55 when you hit the end. Damn I hate how people drive!

ranger Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Ya'll should live and work in the Atlanta area - all of the "left lane bandits" pass through Atlanta whether they are heading north or heading south. We have 12 lanes across in some areas and they still block all the lanes........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redial Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Paul, there are places in America with stoplights at the end of the on-ramps. I won't name names, but some folks just can't merge without help ... FWIW, I absolutely love Winter in Montana. Like snertly Jon said, the first day or two of decent snow, there are expensive cars on their roofs on every paved road. A week or two later, they've all found their way back to I-15 and headed south! Buh-bye! Never trust anyone whose windshield isn't cracked.

I've driven in some of those places. One of them is a state very far away from me, and I hate every time I have to visit there. I want to run the red light every time I come to those on ramps. What a joke. Here are simple step by step instructions on how to merge onto a highway. Step 1: Remove your head from your ass. Step 2: Accelerate up to highway speed. Step 3: Merge.

ShooterSteve Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 If it makes ya'll feel any better, I drive over 500 miles every day. Some of it is in Atlanta.

lora Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) 1. Those that say "that's how we did it up North" or "up North we couldn't drive on the beach like down here, we should ban driving on it here" even though they moved here and it's what put us on the map. 2. If you live here now, don't try to make it like where you left, just go back. Problem solved. 3. Yes, the wages Suck down here, and they aren't like back home. So why did you move here? 3. If you like it here, we love to have you as part of the family, if not I-95 goes northbound as well. Edited January 10, 2013 by lora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
