  • Idiot in front of me approaches a UPS on the side of the road with hazards on. Instead of slowing or stopping, dope goes around the truck, crossing the yellow line at the same time as the oncoming car who is forced almost up on a sidewalk to avoid a head-on crash. The wizard must be out of brains by now!

  • What the f#&k are you doing?? No signals, this side of the road then the other than over the yellow line...You stop and wait for all the cars YOU have the right-of-way over to go then pull out just as the light turns red and we're all stuck for another cycle. And move your dumb bleached blond butt faster! The sign for 14 is the route #, not the speed limit Ms.Einstein!

  • Traveling N on Rte.#6 just before Cucumber Hill Rd. I noticed ambulance lights in my mirror. I signaled right and pulled over and continued moving at about 10mph. Maybe about 6 cars behind me and after a minute the dick-head behind me starts honking. Was on a double yellow with lots of oncoming cars so he wasn't passing. (won't have let him anyway)Had the top down and raised my hand, waving my thumb backwards. Dope had no clue... Now the ambulance is at the last car and it finally pulls over. The others got a clue and did the same. Dick head is still honking then suddenly dives right when the siren came on. Forkin retard....

  • Stuck behind this friggin "turtle" on Pippin Orchard Rd. She hit the brakes EVERY SINGLE time she saw an on-coming car and also on EVERY SINGLE tiny curve in the road, nevermind the real curves. Come on allready! Then we come to the light on 14 and she DID signal to turn left, I'll give her that, but she just sat there when the light turned green. NO other cars in sight except me and the car behind me. I counted 5, 1000s and blew the horn. Hey, she woke up, then I blew past her. Had enough of that.

    How to piss off a slow driver.   Wednesday, November 11, 2009

    Not the first time this has worked! LOL Stuck behind a gray Toyota Camry (there's a shocker OJ) with this old guy who doesn't know what turn signals are nor who has the right-of-way on the road. Kept stopping on the main road to let cars in which is all great and crap except the idiot kept doing it while our lights were green so we'd get stuck at the next red! So when I get real tired of following these unicks and can't possibily pass, I put my hands behing my head, settle back for a "nap" and drive with my knee. (and still have more control then 90% the cars around me) Camrydope was at another light, letting all the turners go again and must have seen this in his mirror (proof that at least he knows what it's for) and got all pissed off. He swerves over into the MIDDLE of the intersection, blocking all the "right on red" cars and stops! Great, I go by and have to look. lol He's giving me this stupid face and mouthing something. This is so much easier then waiting for a chance to pass, they just get mad and pull over! LOL

    When it's OK park in a handicap spot.   Monday, September 14, 2009

    Nothing like saying you know you're wrong by running in and out of the store. Now there was a very good reason to park here. He only took a couple of minutes to come back out with a handfull of lottery tickets. Yep, somethin' about Jeep drivers round here.... http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/4103/photo0108l.jpg

     To all handicapped and war vet plate drivers:

    Just because you have a pretty blue plate or a war vet plate does not give you the right to: 1) park in 2 spaces, 2) create your own space, 3) park in the fire lane, 4) Park half in handicapped space and half in regular space, 4), drive below the minimum speed limit on 95,5) Slow down or stop in the middle of the road for YARD SALES. PLEASE!  Let's be considerate.

    Double-Fisted Texter!   Sunday, July 26, 2009

      There was a young male driver, maybe 19 or 20, driving too slowly on Potniac Ave near Burger King in Cranston. He swerved ion front of us, then back to his lane. As we passed him, I saw him driving with head down, and ONE CELL PHONE in EACH HAND, and he was TEXTING on one of the cellphones!! Blue Concorde Lxi, What a LOSER!!

    75196 Toyota Tundra -- See WHY You Need It   Tuesday, December 23, 2008

     DUMB old bag decided to take the family firetruck through Riverside 12/23/08 around 6:00.  I'd call her a "cupcake," but she's WAY past a cup -- this one would have to be more like a "pound cake."  Without the powdered sugar to pretty it up any.

     She thought she'd try to pull OUT of the Scailo parking lot on the wrong side of the road -- oh -- just for recreation? and force me to back out into traffic.  When I wouldn't do it, she pulled a "stand off."  (She was blocking the whole rest of the way -- nowhere for me to go).

      I eventually got out of my car and went to call a cop, she THEN pulled around me onto her own side of the road and left. 

      Her kid (about nineteen)? was dying of embarrassment in the seat next to her. 

      Nice way for her to remember mom, huh?  A nut behind the wheel of a giant black Toyota Tundra....

    LAW STATES TO PUT LIGHTS ON!!   Tuesday, November 25, 2008

     When it is raining,snowing etc.,in RI the law is you have to put your lights on.I don't see why this is so difficult for people to do.It is dangerous to drive in the rain with your lights off.The rain makes it difficult to see,and if your lights are on,it is safer and the law..Then you honk when you are not let out of the side streets..Well, maybe people could see you if you had your lights on.Did I mention it is the LAW!!!!!The police could make a fortune if they would give tickets for this.But they don't like to get wet.Point being,IT'S THE LAW!!!!So, turn your lights on!!!

    ATTN: RI, CT & MA   Tuesday, October 28, 2008

     The torture I go through.. traveling through RI and CT to visit my sister in RI, as she goes to school there. You damn RI drivers, have NO consideration WHATSOEVER! You're either driving 10 mph in the left lane, or don't bother to obey a stop sign!! Driving on 95N through CT is like a slow painful death.  NO ONE knows to KEEP RIGHT and PASS left.. especially since 95 is for the most part, only 2 LANES!!! You yuppy old broads driving the E-Class you swindled out of your fossil-like husband.. learn how to F*KN drive it!!

    I know us NJ drivers are crazy (and we have the high insurance rates to prove it) but ya know what? At least we KNOW how to drive and we're not inconsiderate selfish assholes that just sit in the damn lane because "we feel like it".  I used to hate NY drivers, but now RI takes the 1st place spot and CT a close 2nd.

    Just stay the hell outta my way, believe me I'd stay in NJ if I didn't have to visit my sister! (And she feels the SAMEEEEEE WAAAAAY!)

    AHHHH

    Turn signals!   Monday, September 29, 2008

     Not only are you idiot drivers in RI on a different page when it comes to driving, you're in a whole different book!

    Turn signals are for use when TURNING!

    The left lane is for PASSING!

    "Rules of the Road" are for following!

    Cell phones are NOT a priority while driving!

    PAY ATTENTION!

    When in Rome, do as the romans do....?   Saturday, September 27, 2008

     I am a Mass driver- yes, I hear the Masshole comment - but proud of it as I cannot overstate enough how thankful I am for the driving education in MASS!!  I drive from MA, good old 195 W every day, and travel from the top of RI, down through Prov, Pawt, CF, into Cranston, Warwick, on a daily basis,- therefore, no screwing around with this blog. And, no screwing around with my life- and my job. You can imagine what I witness on a daily basis...You see it too!
    I'd take driving in Boston any day. 
    Can someone please explain to me, (seriously, no sarcasm from this end)  PLEASE explain to me why:
    1- Why does one feel the need to honk at me if I don't turn right at a red light--when there is a "No Turn On Red Sign"?? I'd love to know if there is hidden, subliminal message that I am missing?   
    2- Why do I almost hit a car, every single time I approach a GREEN light, because someone is turning right- on THEIR red light?? Does red mean something else ?
    3- Do driver's education classes teach drivers in RI to yield to the oncoming traffic at a green light if you want to turn left? Or, does that law not apply in RI?
    4. Does driver's ed explain the meanings to:
    - side mirrors?
    - merge?
    - high speed lane = passing lane?
    Much appreciated.
    When in Rome...

    CT 111-NMX   Monday, April 07, 2008

     This young woman consistantly drives well in excess of the posted speed limit on our street (probably 50 - 60 mph in a 35 zone) during school bus hours. She is talking nearly every morning on her cell and will tailgate the school bus if she gets stuck behind it. I actually think she will cause a major accident some day due to her aggressive driving.

    Stop means "STOP"!!!   Monday, March 10, 2008

     What is it with you idiot Rhode Island Drivers? I have never seen a society where nobody stops for a stop sign! Everyone in Rhode Island prefers the rolling stop method. What's worse, they dont stop. Instead, they come to s rolling slow down, look to their left,and then, whether anyone is coming or not, they pull right the fuck out in front of you!!!! What a fucked up bunch of assholes. I wish my car was a 1970 Cadillac Sedan DeVille. I would love to ram just one of these dumn motherfuckers into the next world with their fucking stupidity!!!! This kind of thing doesn't just happen just once while your driving in Rhode ISland. It occurs at about every 1/4 of a mile!!!! These people are fucking ignorant!!!

    LEARN HOW TO FUCKING DRIVE RHODE IDIOT!!!! And for all you Hispanic motherfuckers who "No Abla Englesias" but still manage to get a fucking license to drive in that state.....¡APRENDA COMO A JODER MANEJA ASSHOLES!!!
