Stupid idiot Jackhole!!!!!!

[MickeySP]

First of all, just because "I" want to pass "you" it doesnt mean im going to drive recklessly and crash into a pole. If you had any experience driving, you'd know this. They just want to pass, happens all the time. As long as youre following the rules of the road and passing when its permitting, there's nothing wrong there. Sure they might be driving a bit faster than you, but so what? Not sure I would bother passing in a residential neighbourhood but whatever. Second of all, the driver who wouldnt let the car pass was being an idiot, thats a good way to start confrontation with someone. Anyone with half a brain wouldn't attempt such a dangerous maneuver. You dont know who youre dealing with out there. Again I say, those drivers should stick their noses elsewhere.

There's illegal, imprudent & ridiculous. If you engage someone who is obviously creating a situation, leave it alone. Back off, is your life worth so little that you have to be "right"?
"I had the right to pass him!" "What I was doing was legal!" Heck we can put that on your tombstone if you liked. People are killed & do kill others just to be right everyday.
Exercise some patience & common sense.

Here it is... the actual road on which this "jackhole incident" occurred:

You are correct, 2 to 3 minutes. But had I stayed behind every jackhole, I woulda wasted 10 years of my life.

If you engaged that idiot on a road like this, would you have room to swerve if a small child was on the roadside? Life is too short to always be in the right.
You attract that many Jackholes

Perhaps you should not worry about whether or not someone decides to pass a car. I don’t understand your ridiculous assumption that everyone who passes will AUTOMATICALLY get killed. Boom. Lights out. Its not about being “right”. I am a careful driver, I use common sense when deciding to pass or not. If youre not comfortable with it, fine. But that doesn’t mean im going to call you a wuss and a chicken for not passing. Just like you shouldn’t assume that everyone who passes are wreckless wanna-be race car drivers.

My bold - See I don't actually care as long as it is only the 2 idiots engaging in the behavior but too often it is collateral damage. You may be the most careful driver in the world, but this thread is not about YOU, it is about a behavior.
Where exactly did I mention race car drivers? REALLY, you want to use my words then use then correctly and succinctly - If you engage someone, like the guy she wanted to pass, and they show you a behavior of antagonism, back off!! You can be Jeff Gordon for all I care but if you want to answer a challenge by an idiotic driver - go for it. We call you folks - overtime!
See you don't have to be there to do a notification. You don't have to pick up body parts. You don't have to watch a family member identify their loved one. Get the phone call from a worried parent who's kid isn't home by 1am. Try that a few times and then be "right"

And with that I am not gonna beat my head on your cement wall - have at it.

We may be talking about two things here. 1) Passing in general, and 2) the situation that the OP came across. In the last few threads I posted, Im referring to passing someone in general. Driving behind a jerk who wont let you pass, thats another thing. Who knows how I would handle a jerk in that situation, i'd like to say I wouldn't attempt to pass BUT saying it and being in that situation is a whole different story.

I'm not entirely certain but I would guess it was around 10mph slower than the speed limit.

Just curious...what was the speed limit on the street?
