Have a big smile on my face today.

Driving into town there is a lot of construction going on. I'm old and never in a hurry.
So, I'm going into town and hit the Slow Down Construction ahead merge left. Look in my mirror the vehicle behind me is like 100 yards back. I put on my signal and that asshat, in a big black Cadillac SUV, just like the ones in a tRump motor cade,
is flying well over the regular speed limit trying to get in front of me before the construction area. I slow down when I see this to get out of his way
Well there was a black Jeep SUV behind him. The Sheriff Dept uses them and I'm thinking wouldn't that be funny. Sure enough he got pulled over. I gave the cop a thumbs up.

1. That's great ...

This is a broad generalization I know…it seems like Cadillac owners drive like they pay more road taxes than most. Used to be the asshats driving Hummers.
Say a hearty ‘Hi’ to everyone!.

2. The old joke about the difference between Audi owners and hedgehogs came to mind.

[Klondike Kat]

3. I've not heard that one.

Can you share it?

[GoneOffShore]

5. What is the difference between Audi/BMW/Escalade/Hummer owners and hedgehogs?

Hedgehogs have the pricks on the outside.

[Old Crank]

7. Reminds me of the difference between a vacuum cleaner

and a Harley Davidson.

The dirt bag is on top of the Harley.

[spike jones]

10. The reason the Harley can go so fast is that it never has to carry a whole person, just the asshole.

[Old Crank]

19. A first for me

Cute.

[GoneOffShore]

18. Haven't heard that one before!

4. self centered so and so. serves ya right.

i have this fantisy. a 2 mile long freight train has broken down in town and only 2 of the locos are working. the other two arnt ,so the nearest replacement locos are 200 mi away. and it takes them awhile to clear the crossings . jusst deserts .
reveng es best served cold , and its cold in space .karma ,no?

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

9. Just desserts?

How so? How about all the people in that town unable to get to work or school or a hospital thanks to the freight train?

[AllaN01Bear]

12. note: 1 standard modern loco can only handle 50 cars .

so most trains have 2 to four locos and if really really long trains 1 or 2 in the middle of the train or said saime at the end . so if one or 2 loco faults out and shutdown. all the train driver can do is seperate the train cars at the crossings. when i was younger , in the town where i lived a cop gave a train driver a ticket for fouling crossings too long. so as i said , if 2 locos fault out and shutdown . you aint going anywhere as the brakes lock on. and the crew have to recharge the lines etc .

20. There is a small town in Texas

Directly impacted by this type of thing. Not breakdowns but switching. Can take hours and that means no emergency services. Happens all the time and the train company just gives them the finger.

[Evolve Dammit]

6. That's great. Driving has gotten really bad. People are fucking nuts

And extremely aggressive

[kimbutgar]

8. Where I live there are too many speed racers on the road nowadays

People going 100 mph and weaving in and out of traffic and no cops in sight!

[Evolve Dammit]

14. It's become a sport of sorts. They enjoy fucking with you and taking chances. Three beers, no fears?

[Old Crank]

21. Every new car needs to have speed linked to limits via GPS.

Same with cruise autopilot. There is no excuse these days. Same with motor cycles.

[Lunabell]

11. Yep.

I accidentally cut someone off getting on the interstate. I went to the middle lane, the person sped around me on the left, then pulled in front of me and slammed on their brakes. I tried to get in the right lane and slow down and they did the same thing.

I was not going to pull over and I moved really quickly to the outer left lane and gunned it. ( they had a hoopty and couldn't keep up.) To my right was a trooper and I knew I would rather risk a ticket, than a crazy person. So, before he even put on the blue lights, I pulled to the right shoulder.

Luckily, after I frantically told him my story, he said he saw the action of the other person, that he didn't know what was going on and I was the only one who stopped. He told me it was too late to catch the person, but he didn't give me a ticket even though he clocked me at 96 mph.

[Evolve Dammit]

13. Good lord. We were road raged at for 150 miles complete with screaming "I KNOW PEOPLE". The driver was

erratic and going waaaaay too fast. Entitled assholes.

[Lunabell]

15. Wow. Glad y'all are all ok.

That's why I didn't pull over with just them there. I'd rather risk an expensive ticket than a bullet. People are just nuts.

[alarimer]

16. Instant karma for a change.

I wish it was more common.

[Postal Grunt]

17. Lane Splitters Seem To Be A Thing

Lane splitters on street racer type motorcycles are multiplying like rabbits in the KC area. It makes no difference whether the traffic is light or dense. I wonder if organ donor cards are available for them.
