phawk69 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 The traffic gets worse every year here. Aarrgg... must... control... road... rage. >:(Why? Join the dark side Luke (insert heavy breathing), I'm your father Luke ... Wait, what were we talking about? Oh yah, ROAD RAGE. It wouldn't be so bad, if all the rest of you idiots would stay off the road, and just let me, the one good driver :), have the road all to myself. But no, you think your inconsequential and unimportant lives have meaning to MY universe, and so you drive like lobotomy patients on LSD. I really should get a rocket launcher mounted on my car, that would make you at least look before you cut me off ... Oops, sorry :) (Not really, do you detect any insincerity? Me neither.) I guess this could be thread hi-jacking, but I do HATE driving in the city, it gets me cheesed right off. Thankfully there are many roads in good old Saskatchewan where you can go for MILES without seeing another car (mind you, just when you want to pass that farmer checking the neighbours fields, there's someone coming the other way :) ). The down side of this is that will so little population, there is a very small tax base for road repair, so most of the roads don't need speed limits as anything faster than about 40 mph will lose you a wheel (I added this last so all the rest of you just stay where you are, we don't need more people clogging our roads :) ).

karkarinus Posted May 5, 2006 Author Share Posted May 5, 2006 Check out this link to an extremely funny site called "Sniff Petrol". Scroll down to the 3rd article called "BRITISH DRIVERS NOW STUPIDEST IN WORLD". I didn't realize things had got that bad in England, and thought it was just the Spanish, Portugese and Italians who drove like that! http://www.sniffpetrol.com/issue068.html The whole archive can be found here: http://www.sniffpetrol.com/archive.html VERY FUNNY STUFF!!!!!!!!!!

phawk69 Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Can we tell stupid driver stories now? Huh, can we? I will anyway :) The other day about 17:30 we were travelling to an appointment. We were making a left hand turn from a major highway onto a very nice devide major road. This time of the afternoon is very busy - rush hour, everyone going home from work for supper. As we turned onto our road, there was an obstruction in the lane I was in, a vehicle with it's 4-ways on. No problem, we would get around him when it was clear. The driver had exited the vehicle, and was preceding around to the passenger side, and I was trapped due to traffic in the other lane. Once reaching the passenger side of the vehicle, and the shoulder of the road, the drive continued to a beer can, bent down and picked it up, and proceeded to put it in the back of his truck. Then he walked back to the driver's side and got in, shut off the 4-ways, and started down the road, traffic backed up behind him about a 1/2 mile now. I was shocked, but then ... HE STOPPED AGAIN, not a hundred yards up the road, and did it all AGAIN. If I had had my rocket launcher, we would only have had to push the rubbish off the street :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
