Yeah... you know who you are. You risk my life every day that I have to be in traffic with you!
And that's not anything new, but this goes out specifically to the 30-something lady in the brand-new (temp plates) little white rat-car on the 101 South about 7:40 this morning. Any car smaller than the engine on my truck is a rat-car.
I'm car-pooling now with my daughter, so we're rolling at the speed limit with cruise on in my 3/4-ton Ford V-10 and I'm watching the lane next to me pretty darn close.
At about Shea when the road is bending so I can just barely see her and she probably couldn't see me at all, about 3 or 4 car-lengths ahead of me, she got bored driving (solo) in the lane she was in and pulled out in front of me at about 45 mph.
I laid on the horn and brakes at the same time, and pulled as close as I could to the barrier
assuming that when she saw me coming, she'd pull back in, and I could get around her without killing anyone... but nooo... the dumb a$$hole stayed in the diamond lane doing 50 mph while I'm almost turning her into a hood ornament... WTF was she thinking??
So she moseyed along in the diamond lane for about a mile then unsafely pulled in on someone to her right. I slowed down enough to salute her on the way past, but I'm sure she wasn't looking. I just hope she has a wet spot on the seat.
My daughter's comment was "good thing YOU were driving, in my car, we'd probably have not stopped fast enough".
On that note I'd like to tell all you crappy drivers out there "Thanks for nothing!"
Dang the things you have to go through just to GET to work!
