OK this is a rant, plain and simple...
*When you get on I75 at East Brainerd rd the RIGHT lane ends, the left lane goes Downtown but THE RIGHT LANE is the one that ends.
If you're driving a cool dodge charger and are in said right lane trying to bully a five thousand pound mini van for position you are just stupid.
*when you're driving down the highway and someone going a little faster than you starts to pass, WHY THE HELL SHOULD YOU SPEED UP??? cruise control moron...
*if you're traveling down north terrace or brainerd rd and notice water in the road, 45mph MIGHT be just a bit too fast....
(saw two people kill their cars today)

Some people just can't drive, especially in the rain.

I just had a Georgia State Trooper barrel down the Interstate this morning with his blue lights on and hauling ass causing myself and many others to take evasive action. It was raining like hell. He took the same exit as me #328, and then turned off his lights and pulled into Arby's.

They must have had the fresh cinabuns(sp?) sign on I was hoping that you might have seen it too. I know we both work off #328, and it was about 7:50. |

Arby's breakfast is quite under rated.

What REALLY pisses me off is the driver, holding a cell phone to their ear, driving 35mph in a 55 mph road. Of course its narrow and you can't pass. Or, how about the person in the passing lane driving 15 miles under the posted speed limit.

You think YOU saw morons driving....try establishing barricades to keep people from killing their cars. Then sit back and enjoy the stupidity parade. It is very difficult to remain "helpful" when a doofus is screaming at you because "nobody was there to warn" him NOT to go around a BARRICADE.

23rd Street at about 3:30pm -- flashing red = 4-way stop.
"Duhhh...4-way stop? Doesn't that mean I get to go first 'cuz I'm driving a red Camaro???"

He took the same exit as me #328, and then turned off his lights and pulled into Arby's. In your case, probably a wise decision. Did you call to inquire if the Trooper was on a call? If, in fact, the destination of his call was Arby's? If he was canceled on the call he was or wasn't on, enabling him to go to Arby's? Nah, thought not. Just another excuse to bitch, if indeed ANY of this notionalized account happened in the FIRST place. |
