  • Driving towards Fort Bragg on All American Hwy, a mustang to our right matching our pace for some reason- another car tailgating him so we can't slow down to get over, we're doing 65 in a 55.  

This taxi SUV gets on my tail and flashed his lights at us to get over.  The car behind the mustang got off on Santa Fe, the taxi whipped around us on the right before we could get over, then procedes to yell at us about learning how to drive and the proper way to get over when traffic is behind us.  I kept reminding him that the speed limit was 55, which just pissed him off.  

Meanwhile the Mustang FINALLY sped up so the taxi could pass us, at which time we were finally able to get over safely.  The mustang was speeding up and slowing down so that we couldn't get into the right lane because I embarrassed him when we were getting onto the highway by getting up to speed faster in my 4 Cylindar (vs his V8) and getting all the way over to pass all the people still merging ahead of us.  THere was no one in the left lane at the time.  But once the mustang passed us he made sure we were stuck unless we got up to 75, and that's a very bad area for cops. Both city and military.  I should also mention that there was a lot of traffic merging in the right lane because of the 4th of July thing on Fort Bragg so we couldn't get over as quickly as we usually do.  We can get speeding tickets for going 5 over there, and it's a federal ticket, not a local one.

  • Friday 28 November 2009, 1330 hours -- Getting onto westbound I-40 at Exit #270 (NC15/501)... Lane-Changer (LC) tailgates at I merge into interstate traffic... blows past me as soon as he has sufficient space on my left.  Continuing westbound, LC speeds in excess of prevailing traffic to descend upon vehicles, breaking hard, then tailgates vehicles in left lane until they move over... swerves between lanes to advance his position along the highway.  Near Hillsborough, I move into left lane to pass a vehicle; LC was on my bumper until he sees an open in right lane.  He swerves to righthand lane, speeds forward, then swerves into my path, causing me to write this entry.  LC finally exits westbound I-85/40 at #157, near Mebane, NC.

  • Traveling at right at the speed limit down a small rural road just outside of the city, I had this fool come up behind me like a bat out of hell. They got so close to my rear bumper I couldn't see their lights for a while. We reached a place with a dotted line, and they peeled out into the oncoming lane to pass, cut back in no more than a couple feet in front of me, then disappeared quickly into the distance. The irony of the whole thing is that I was about to turn off that road anyway, so all their impatience and recklessness was a waste. Of course, they might've run me over if I had slowed down to turn off...

  • My husband and I were each on separate motorcyles, stopped at Rock Quarry Road and preparing to turn left onto East Garner Road.  When the road was clear, he pulled out and I followed immediately behind and slightly to his right.  The Nissan driver had been waiting behind us to turn left, but as we pulled out she pulled out aggressively, passing us on the right during the turn.  We followed her as she turned right on Guy Road and caught up with her at the light at the intersection with 70 Highway.  The excuse she gave was that she was about to run out of gas!  She told us that she was a security guard, and she had a security uniform on.

It's bad enough when people make mistakes that could get someone else killed.  This woman's action was not a mistake - it was a conscious act to endangered others and for which she had neither remorse nor even a halfway decent excuse.  Because she was low on gas!?!  Lord help the next person in her path.

  • This driver seems to think that a YEILD sign doesn't pertain to him. WATCH OUT FOR THIS JERK. He will slam on his brakes on an on ramp and pull over, then he will motion for you to pull over and go speak with him... DO NOT TRUST THIS FREAK! He is very HOT HEADED and should read the drivers manual or take the drivers test again, he obviously dosen't know the rules of the road - WHAT AN ASS!

  • Driver signaled right for several blocks then quickly signals left and pulls in front of a car then quickly pulls back into original lane.  Then after making left onto the left lane of a 55mph highway, goes about 30mph.  So I signal and go around him and then get back in the left lane as it's the lane I need to be in.  Within two minutes, I see the driver behind me and he speeds up and is practically right on my bumper.  There is not even a half car length between us, and we are already exceeding the limit at 65mph.  I get very nervous and almost swerve of the road.  Finally, he goes around me, going at least 70 and continues on to tail a commuter bus.  Then begins weaving in and out of traffic.  Not cool.  Don't know where to report him, but if FedEx ever reads this, it was around 630 pm tonight on Wade Avenue and Interstate 40!

  • I was sitting at a red light, my lane had a red arrow pointing right. I saw traffic from the left thin out after they got the green, but I know that people fly over that hill so I usually wait for my green arrow to make sure that I live to see another day.

Then some idiot behind me- or behind the other person next to me- started honking.  Yes, I know that we have red arrows.  That means that we have to stop.  It does not mean that we have to then procede because YOU stopped on the train tracks despite the very visible signs and lines telling you not to.  So, suck it up buttercup.

  • this incident started on Skibo Road as we prepared to turn right onto Raeford.  This person whipped around us and cut us off to make the light- he didn't but he ran it anyways.  The next turn was a left onto Bingham, there are two left turn lanes, the right one ends at a parking lot, but this person in that one so he could speed through and cut off the people who were waiting in the correct lane.  Next turn, same thing, cutting people off to be first at the light, finally, when I turned off Bingham he was right next to us.  At the red light... waiting... 

this took at least five miles... five miles of stupid reckless driving, for nothing, he should have just stayed behind us and saved his gas... he probably kept doing it until he got home, but seeing him end up at the same lights as me, with him noticing that we were always right there no matter how far behind he left us at each light, that was hilarious.  so funny that I forgot his license plate even though I repeated it to myself several times...

  • While traveling west on Bryan Blvd by the airport, I saw this idiot in a unmarked SUV cop car in my rear view mirror rapidly gaining on me, changing lanes without signaling, going in excess of 80 mph.  He moved over to the righthand exit lane to exit on Old Oak Ridge Rd. then decided to move over to my lane to give me a speed check.  This ASSHOLE rides my bumper less than a car length behind me, I couldn't even see his headlights...just hood and windshield, till I slowed down 5 mph at which point he moved over, hit the gas, passed me(going well over the speed limit AGAIN, crossed over two lanes back to the exit lane and proceeded to tail gate the lucky guy at the end of the line of traffic exiting.  If the police were financially responsible for damage they do to the public's property I would have slammed on the brakes.  He never would have had a chance to miss me and WOULD HAVE rearended me.  Just goes to show you the cops don't have to follow the laws they write you and I tickets for.  If he hadn't been late for dinner he might have written me up.  Just another corrupt Greensboro cop.

  • On my way to Wallyworld I came up to two red lights that had been red longer than normal.  Apparently, if you stop with your back tires past the white line and you are the only one waiting on your side, you won't get the green until someone else pulls up and stops behind the line... gee, following the rules gets you what you want, being inpatient makes you wait... hmmm

    JBC Grading Idiot   Thursday, August 26, 2010

    Going to work this morning on 40 towards the triangle. This IDIOT in a white Ford truck with JBC Grading on the side starts riding my a** while traffic is moving very slowly at the 64 merge in Cary. So,after he rides me for awhile and flashes his lights, I finally move over and flip him the birdie.. He claps at me (with both hands) and start flying to get an entire car length ahead of me. So, when traffic starts flowing again I had moved to the far right lane and the idiot sees me moving past him and crosses three lanes of traffic to get behind me and ride my bumper again.. What a dumbas*.. I hope you have good insurance cause if you hit me, I'm taking you to the cleaners FU*KER!

    I-40 Merge near Chapel Hill   Friday, April 02, 2010

    I am AMAZED at the shennanigans people go through to merge from three lanes down to twO on I-40, a couple of miles west of 15-501 at Chapel Hill, especially those who find themselves in the far left lane that will soon be ending. Rather than staying in that narrowing lane and going nearly all the way up to the merge point, then feeding smoothly into traffic(with cars from the left lane and the narrowing lane taking turns), many drivers slow down to a crawl or stop in the the narrowing lane, put on their right blinker and try to get over to to the right A HALF MILE OR MORE before the lane ends! This stops traffic behind them, creates snarls as other drivers stop to let them in and blocks a half mile or more of perfectly good merge lane. AND - apparently many drivers think those who use the full length of the merge lane are trying to gain an unfair advantage and won't let them into traffic at the merge point. People, this isn't difficult. If everyone will just stay where they are instead of panicking as they approach the merge area, use a little consideration, courtesy and common sense, it all goes very smoothly as cars ALTERNATELY merge into one lane.

    try decaf !   Wednesday, November 11, 2009

     Tradesman's pickup truck tailgating every car he found while eastbound on US64 between Raleigh & Rocky Mount last night during fairly heavy rainfall.

    There were a few cars that had spun out and/or ditched along the side of the road.

    Traffic was denser than usual, but that didn't keep him from recklessly pushing everyone out of his way in the dark & in the driving rain.

    What an asshole !

    You're not in charge here & this isn't an interstate, so nobody owes you the passing lane --- especially when we're already going noticably faster than posted limit.

    Not a racetrack   Tuesday, September 22, 2009

     Sept. 21st, 2009; Rockingham, NC: I didn't get the full plate number off this moron but what I remember was W??-2621 off a gold Suzuki Forenza. Every time I tried to merge into the right lane this a**-hole kept speeding up so that I would couldn't get in. Finally the person behind them was kind enough to let me in front of them and behind the Suzuki before the road went from 4 lanes to 2 lanes. This is not Rockingham Speedway. It is fine for other motorists to get in front of you.

    stay away from this guy   Sunday, September 06, 2009

     License #: XWN9170.  My spouse and I left the store today with our 1 year old only to be harrassed in the parking lot by a man and woman accusing us of hitting their car with our car door.  I assured the man that we did not hit their car when we exited and asked him to show me the damage.  At first we couldn't see it, but it turned out to be a circular chip in the paint about the size of a grain of sand.  Again, we assured him that we did not hit his car and explained that the logistics didn't even match up.  It was at the wrong height for our door to have hit it and it was almost certainly a chip from a small piece of loose asphalt from the looks of it.  He claimed to know we did it.  When we asked him how he arrived at that conclusion he claimed that the fact that our car has some small marks on it (he pointed out scratches on our rear bumper for which we were not responsible) that we must not care about other people's property and are likely in the habit of damaging others' cars.  That was rather an insulting and illogical leap, especially since our 12 year old car already had 100K and some small marks on it when we bought it a few years ago.  We told him several times to call the authorities if he was sure it was us, but I guess he only wanted a check because he didn't bother.  My advice is don't park anywhere near this guy unless you want to be insulted, harrassed, and threatened.

    NOT a buffet !   Wednesday, June 10, 2009

    A medium grey Jeep Cherokee with NC plate TTS-1498 kept "sampling" for a place to insert herself into a lengthy queue at the Wake Forest Rd exit from I440 at 8:50am .

    It's a lot to ask to agree to take one's place at the end of a 33-car queue, but just TAKE YOUR LUMPS !

    I don't care if you get to Wake Forest Rd. before me or after me, but screwing around in a 60mph lane of thru-traffic repeatedly trying to find the least-offensive gap in the queue is what causes collisions, which is why the I440 turns into a parking lot at least one day a week at the same time of day.

    Beware TVN-4786   Tuesday, May 12, 2009

    Drivers in Charlotte should watch out for a Chevy Silverado with tag number TVN-4786. Very aggressive driver, spins his wheels accelerating from a stop, will change lanes very quickly. Probably a major tailgater as well. Clearly doesn't care about courtesy or safety. If you see this vehicle, avoid him. With luck, a cop will spot him and pull him over.

    Angling early left turns   Friday, September 05, 2008

     Why do so many people insist on angling their car before making left turns while waiting for traffic to clear.  So many drivers will angle their car to the point they cross the double yellow line, primarily at T intersections but it happens at other intersections.  This forces people making a left turn onto the side street to have to swing wide to avoid these inconsiderate  people.  Com'on people...pull up to the white line but don't start your turn until you can actually turn!!!

    Reckless Driver Alert   Thursday, June 26, 2008

     This morning a brunette woman in a wine colored Scion tC two door sports car license plate XVZ-1066, decided to recklessly change lanes in rush hour traffic with no turn signal. She was not even past my front bumper when she did this. Luckily for her I have really good reflexes. I slammed on brakes get nearly rear-ended by the car nehind me. The two cars in the lane to my left saw this and both swerved into their median. When I blew my horn at her she flipped me off and kept driving. She is lucky I'm not a police officer or she would have no license right now. Anyone in Wilmington or the Leland area (she came from the Elizabeth Holmes Bridge) watch out for this crazy woman who doesn't know how to drive!

    WTF in NC #2   Wednesday, June 25, 2008

     

    OK, the timing of this is funny considering the recent blogs about personlized plates, but this one was issued by the STATE of NC, and was reported by a Fayetteville Grandma whose lovely grandchildren clued her in.  I have been seeing these plates for a while and it didn't even dawn on me that they were rude.  I must be paying too much attention to the crazy drivers

    Blue VW tag COOL BUG connelly springs nc   Tuesday, March 04, 2008

     I was walking across the parking lot at the truck stop in Connelly springs nc this past sunday ( march 2nd ) when I was almost ran over by a blond teenager driving a blue vw bug. She didnt slow down while coming into the lot and when she saw me , it was to late for her to slow down. Instead of acting as if she was sorry, she made a face at me! She is blond and had her hair in a little pony tail and there was 2 other teenagers with her. One in the front appeared to have curly short hair.
    This person should never have been issued a permit much less a licenses!
    I wish there was a way to contact her parents and inform they of they way their child ( and yes she acted like a child) is driving.
    If you frequent this store,BEWARE of a blue v.w bug with the tag being COOL BUG in red letters. She is not going to watch where she is driving so you better watch for her. I just wonder how long it will be before the local paper carries a write up about her running someone down or running over another car. Shouldnt be to long with her driving at a high rate of speed.

    Black Olds Bravada SUV   Friday, February 08, 2008

     Watch out Cary, there is an asshole driving a black, 4 door SUV (Olds Bravada?), license plate # SRH 7853.  You'll know him when you see him...  He will ride up on your bumper when you are in the slow lane on 64 west heading onto Tryon rd.  He will almost hit you as he blows by you and swerves in and out of traffic to make the shortcut to Penny rd. that runs through Regency park.  The reason that I know this is that I did what everyone wants to do to assholes like him - I followed him and caught up with him at a red light.  The big, tough guy had nothing to say for himself when confronted - I wonder why?  Maybe because he is the kind of gutless jerk that can only be tough behind the wheel of a car...

    trying to run over people in a school crosswalk   Wednesday, January 09, 2008

     On Wednesday, Jan. 9, 2008 at 3:55pm this woman driving a white ford (I think)  pick up saw a person in a school crosswalk and purposely sped up to drive through the crosswalk.  Her truck is one of those redneck loud jacked up things and she looks like a lesbian with her butch short hair and clothes.  I found her - in the school parking lot waiting to get her kid - and informed her that pedestrians have the right of way.  She replied that she knew that and that I was a bitch.  I can't wait until she gets in trouble for hurting someone blasting through the crosswalk.  Hopefully it isn't a kid but is someone important to her.  Watch out for this one if she is driving.  The truck is a white f-250.  She is 45 - 50, short brown hair, very wrinkled, very stupid, and totally in denial of the fact that she doesn't own the world.  The tag number is CD-3850.
