Hammerheads who pull out from a side street at mach 10 just to get in front of you even though there is no one behind you. AND then they go 10 under the speed limit. At that time I wish my vehicle a plow on the front and I could just angle it to the right, smash into them and move them out of the way.

That wasn't too harsh was it, lmao

Drivers attempting to merge into freeway traffic at (for example) 45 MPH when the prevailing traffic on the freeway is running at 65 MPH, and then they try their best to merge with (into) the vehicles, not the gaps!

(Synchronize your speed with the freeway traffic while on the entry (acceleration) lane — that's partly why it's there, and please plan to merge into a gap in the freeway traffic, not into one of the moving vehicles!)[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica][FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]
<hr size="2" width="75%">
[/FONT][/FONT]Or the ones who casually drive down the freeway entrance ramp, come to a dead stop just before the merge, then swivel around in their seat and look back at the approaching traffic in a futile attempt to identify an oncoming "gap". This during the daily commute, too. (Of course there isn't a snowball's chance in Phoenix of them being able to accelerate from a dead stop and actually hit their target "gap", unless it's 3:00AM and the "gap" is a two miles long!) :mad:

"Wiggly lines"?

Concrete highways with wiggle brush lines. Pavement makes more sense in MI.
You ought to see the (asphalt) streets in Phoenix.

The stop line(s) and crosswalk markers are all "wiggly", but it's not from "wiggly brush lines", the lines are actually painted laser straight.

Then the streets literally melt in the blazing heat of summer — not enough to form pools of liquid asphalt, but soft enough so that the traffic braking for the intersections literally drags the softened asphalt, and the painted lines thereon, toward the intersection along the tire tracks, while leaving the less-impacted portions of the roadway (typically between the wheel tracks and between lanes) more or less undisturbed. The result: any painted lines perpendicular to the direction of travel develop "wiggles, or "waves".

They have also been using ground up tires in the paving mix for quite a few years, which makes for a very smooth and whisper quiet ride!

x2 :mad:

Also, people who think the left lane doesn't have a speed limit.

And people who quote threads even when there response is the next post.

To me it doesn't , but someone should tell the truck drivers that it's NOT OK to pass your fellow truck drivers at 1.5 mph more, then take 3-4 miles to pass, and then back up 15 cars and put everyone in a risky situation.
