Crazy lady cuts me off, flips, me off and when finally forced to stop says she has a gun and threatens to shoot me.

  Don't get me wrong. I'm all about safe driving, really. I'm an avid seat belt user and never speed 10 mph over the original limit. That said, WHAT is wrong with you people in and around SPRINGFIELD, TENNESSEE!?!?!? WHY do you need to drive 35 in a 55 mph zone? Then, coincidentally I'm sure, every time we come up on a passing zone, YOU SPEED UP!!!??? WHY!? When finally I am able to squeeze past you, you give ME dirty stares, hah! ugh, how dare I, really? Excuse me, aholes, I'm glad your enjoying your cruise but some of us have places to be! ON TIME! the only reason I'm ever late? Because you're SO FRIGGIN SLOW!!!!! If you want to enjoy your cruise through the country side, fine, but pull over and let the rest of us with lives pass you. If I'm close to tailgating (I say close because I don't believe in riding people's asses. Some of you could learn this lesson, thanx.) close to tailgating you, it's because I have somewhere to be. Not because I'm a speed demon. Not because I'm just being "Mean" to you. It's because I need you to either MOVE IT or MOVE IT OVER, I HAVE SOMEWHERE TO BE. Literally, what was supposed to be my 40 minute drive to vol state turned into a hour and 15 minute expedition of expletives as my clock ticked down the minutes I'd have my professor yelling at me for being late. May I also remind you that, at least in our state, it is JUST as illegal to be going under the limit as speeding is over the limit. You can be ticketed. Oh, and one more thing, as an actively future police officer of Robertson/Springfield, I WILL be hunting your asses and WILL be ticketing you! I'm SICK of it! I don't know who taught you people to drive or how in the world you even got a drivers license but rest assured, your moments of cruising with abandon to the grief of those behind you is coming to a fast end. I will get you. I strongly advise you get yourselves together, quickly, or suffer the consequences when I graduate. Good luck. You'll need it.

Tennessee Plate C/C 00698, Hendersonville, TN July 25, 9 o'clock PM: You almost caused 5 accidents within a 1 mile stretch. 9 o'clock at night and already too drunk to drive? You know, your expensive black Cadillac with it's tinted windows won't look so nice if you wrap it around a tree, run it off of the road in to the lake, or worse, have a head-on collision (like you so desperately tried to cause). I called the cops as soon as I got to a phone - I hope they caught you before you killed someone.

<sarcasm> Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Moneybags of the toney Ridges subdivision who bought their teenaged daughter a Hyundai Santa Fe SUV with which to terrorize the roads of Johnson City.  I truly appreciated your gesture as she and her friend barreled out of the Ridges this morning after almost, you know, coming to a stop.  I couldn't help but notice her fine driving technique as I threw on my brakes to admire her bumper.  When I saw Precious' darling, laughing face in her side mirror, aimed of course at her darling, laughing face, I got the sneaking suspicion that she was heading to Science Hill High School.  How wonderful to share the road with her, as I was taking my own child there.

Precious hit 60 on windy, narrow, two-lane Highland Church Road, blowing down the grass in the cow pastures on either side.  I caught up with her at the red light and felt so fortunate to be behind her as she tailgated the next car in heavy morning traffic.  It was with glee that I saw that, sure enough, she was also going to move from Boones Creek Road onto I-26.  More fun!  So full of youthful enthusiasm that she was unable to wait at the yield sign, I ended up two cars back from her on the on-ramp.  The last I saw of her for a while was darting into a space as large as two, maybe three yards between cars in the fast lane.  As I finally made it around a large semi, far ahead on the hill was Precious.  I was going a naughty 62 by this time, so my best guess is that she was going 80.

Our next common stop was the Roan Street exit.  On this 40 MPH multi-lane street, packed with commuters, I spotted her waiting a light in the right-hand turning lane.  She cleverly used this non-congested lane to skip in front of people waiting in traffic in the straight-ahead lanes, then accelerated the SUV you gave her up to 50-55 MPH.

Since we all know how effective speed in commuter traffic actually is, I next spotted her three cars in front of me in the turning lane for the high school.  Much as she had barreled into my life, she barreled into the parking lot of the high school, scattering students leaving their cars.  You must be so proud, Mr. and Mrs. Moneybags! </sarcasm>

 To all of the Idiots in Memphis, TN that think they can't drive unless they have a cell phone glued to their ear....
Run the Car, Not Your Mouth!  Sick of you assholes driving 35mph on Germantown Parkway in a 50mph zone only to get next to you to see you bullshitting on the phone.  Wait until you get home to waste your time, don't waste mine, I'm trying to get somewhere.

 This person is a hazard and should have his license revoked.  I see him every day on Hwy 76 on my way to the interstate.  He has almost run me off the road at least 5 times in the last year.  He passes on a double yellow line with on-coming traffic, blows past you when you are trying to enter the interstate, etc.  I've been dogged going 5 over the speed limit more times than I can count.  I've turned him in to the White House police department twice and I'm going to the Sherrif's office today.  I've had it!

This guy is nuts!  Maniac driver in a Ford Focus.  LOL Whatever! 

 At I45S & Dixie Farm Road, at the Shell station right where you enter the feeder road heading north, this doofus pulls out of the Shell station onto the feeder road, cutting off me in the center lane and the person next to me in the left lane.  As if that weren't bad enough, he straddles the line separating our lanes, blocking both of us, so I couldn't swerve around him. 

I thought it was a kid, and when I pulled up next to him, I saw that it was an older man, in his early 60s, with a gray buzz cut--the kind of man who looks like he was a body builder back in the day.    He was, get this, yammering on his CELL PHONE, and he stayed on it, meandering into other lanes, all the way from Beltway 8 to Hwy 288, where he headed off into Pearland.

Chances are, he was one of the big cheeze's at Ellington Air Force base, and expects everyone to just stop what their doing and let him do whatever he wants.  If my car wasn't paid off, I would've plowed right into him..

 I  have been around this vehicle 3-4 times on I-65 south and on Briley Pkwy. It is an odd orange colored truck Sumner county plate PETLOVR. I followed this vehicle for 25 miles while they just cruised in the passing lane, ignoring several chances to get over and let others pass. Another time on Briley I approached this vehicle in far left lane again, there were a couple cars in lanes to the right, but when we passed the Opryland exit there were only 5-6 cars in any lane all the way to the Opry Mills exit, yet they continue on in the left lane with 4 cars lined up behind them. I finally decided to pass and when i got back over in front of them when i approached another car I got bright lighted. Then they shoot over 3 lanes and sped up to 80-85 mph passes a couple of cars and back to the left lane. This lane also merges to the right as you approach the construction zone. They fail to use the chance to get behind cars here and speed up a cut a car off just to get back in line. I know this person knows these roads as I have seen them on I-65 at least 3 times and then on Briley Pkwy at least 3 others. I have become friendly with the guy at Circle K and was telling him about this particular driver one morning and I turn to leave and guess who is out there pumping gas.

 Every morning around 6:30 this plate 710 JMY Gibson County on cream colored Toyota pick-up drives at excess speeds, cutting in and out of flowing traffice in a wreckless and careless manner endagering himself and those around him, total disregard to others and safety. Too bad ignorance is not painfull.

 Why is it that the best looking men are always in cars driving by?  Every day I drive into Memphis, I pass the best looking men.  Why can't these men be in the grocery store, or the book store?

Anyone else out there notice that?

   On November 21, 2006,  my Dad and myself were driving in downtown Knoxville.  Dad Was driving.  We were heading east on W. Hill Avenue. Dad stopped at the sign where Walnut Street intersects,  properly,  but after he stopped,  he immediately pulled out in front of a red Blazer.  The traffic on Walnut is one-way, heading North,  and does not stop at intersection.  Me, being the passenger,  was the one at risk of being hit.  Fortunately for me, the one-way traffic on Walnut heads uphill,  and it was the upward slope that enabled the blazer to brake in time enough not to hit the passenger side.  We then passed by the city-county building, and stopped at the light at the Gay Street intersection.  He turned left onto Gay Street, turning while the light was still red.  I told him (!) that the light was still red,  and he said,  " The sign post said 'WALK' ".  Obviously, one cannot drive safely by using the 'WALK - DON'T WALK' sign to navigate. I don't spend much time in town, but I can only assume that at that point, the traffic on Gay Street had a green turning arrow.  Fortunately, that day, people had their eyes on the traffic around them,  and neither the car nor I came to any harm. But, it was only for the attention and discretion of others, not my Dad's.

He is 79 years old, and he still has a good mind,  but he is beginning to forget things about my childhood, and, when he is behind the wheel, he is not the driver he once was.  I wish there was something I could do about it, but we all  know his type. He is stubborn, and he does not want to give up his mobility, even after I offered to drive him everywhere he needs to go. His Dad was the same way, and completely totalled his last car before he finally allowed others to drive for him.  I just hope Dad doesnt hurt himself, or anyone else.

when you ar trying to turn left and there is a turn lane available, get in it! don't block traffic on a busy road by waiting to turn left across a turn lane and oncoming traffic. turn lanes are there for a reason. duh!
