These drivers must be purged from the gene pool.

[Mint]

Just a few rants of mine:

Drivers that don’t look further ahead in traffic than their own front grille.

Drivers that taking a turn at a crawl but blow through school zones and neighborhoods filled with children at 50 mph’s.

Drivers that change lanes quickly (usually without looking first) then slow down to a crawl.

Seattle drivers that see the sun in January. The sun does make an occasional appearance in Seattle in the winter. It is nothing to fear. You do not need to slow to 30 mph on the interstate and gaze in awe at your suddenly bright surroundings.

It also snows occasionally in the Pacific Northwest. This does not mean ‘find a hill with lots of parked cars on it and drive down it at 45 mph’

People who merge onto the freeway by first stopping at the end of the ramp then accelerating madly into that open space in front of my bus.

I have a problem with math, however, I do know that when the light turns green you don’t wait 5 seconds for every vehicle waiting behind you. The gas pedal is there for a reason.

People that stop completely in heavy traffic to turn into a driveway (usually without signaling first)

People who leave their turn signal on for a mile after changing lanes.

Excessively polite drivers (it is a Seattle curse) that wave EVERYONE on at a four way stop before going (yes, I am usually stuck behind these idjits)

Don’t be fooled, Seattlites do NOT know how to drive in the rain. They slow down way more than necessary and gum up traffic on the interstate for miles.

Then there are the people that have no fear of wet road conditions at all because, let’s face it, hydroplaning is fun.

People fear their own car horns. This is a safety feature that is way under utilized in Seattle. It is not just for safety however. Mint’s Rule on Horn Useage: if someone is not leaving tire rubber on the pavement when the light turns green it is time to give that button on your steering wheel a good work out.

hydroplaning is fun.

This should be your catchphrase, posted every few feet on your bus.

It's okay, Mint, just run 'em down. Law of Natural Selection!

[TheEschaton]

Mint....try driving a bus in Buffalo. My empathy goes out to these poor people.


It's bad enough driving a normal sized car in Buffalo. For some reason, everyone with an SUV thinks their invincible, thus, they can driving 45 mph in driving snow. Errr...no.

I looked at the title, and I almost broke down crying because I was envisioning what a world would be like without women. :( Then I thought, wait, women who don't drive are domestic, and they'd still be around. Then I wasn't sad anymore.

[Bobmuhthol]

Hahahahahaha.

Edaarin wins.

[DeV]

without women around you wouldn't be getting any pussy. <sorry to be so blunt>

I think Edaarin was making a statement on women drivers in general. I really wish he would do some research though. Male drivers are the WORST. There is a reason that insurance rates are higher for male drivers. They are the ones with a cup of coffee in one hand, a newspaper in the other, and driving with their knee.

[Artha]

That's just to even up the field. Women are the worst drivers ever. Especially the old ones.

[Edaarin]

For my high school superlatives, one of the sections was worst driver. My buddy who got into 4 accidents in about 5 months won for boys, and the girl who won was: All girl drivers.

Also, I never said I WANTED women gone, if you'll scroll up and reread my post you'll understand that.

I'm sorry! My father NEVER did this!



He don't drink coffee. :D

I don't even have a license. :( And even if I did they won't let me bring a car up here. :( :( But I'm a good driver, still. Just stay off my six.

Where is 'up here'? And what is 'off my six'? Sorry I lost my Latrinsorm translation guide :D

[Latrinsorm]

Up here is my college, which is way up higher than my roots.

My six is right behind me. I got it from Indiana Jones, who in turn got it from some kind of aviation thinger.

How's the sterilization going, by the way?

edit: hahaha I need sleep

I think you should be purged from the gene pool. Since when does driving well, make someone unfit for survival, have beneficial genes, and a productive member of society.

Quite frankly, I don't think you have either of those attributes.

[TheEschaton]

Mint, we're superlative drivers, in spite of all that. It's just that we can't react as well with all those things in our hand, so when some stupid fuck drives improperly, we're the ones who get blamed!

Read this:
Ooops (http://www.nynewsday.com/news/local/manhattan/nyc-ct95032,0,4212741.story?coll=nyc-manheadlines-manhattan)

I'll just clip out the relevant part:

"A congested section of Interstate 95 in Bridgeport, Conn., that serves as a key travel and trade link between New York and the rest of the Northeast will likely take two weeks or more to reopen after an overpass collapsed in a fiery tanker truck explosion Thursday night....

...The accident occurred at 7:45 p.m. Thursday on the southbound side of I-95 when a Toyota Corolla driven by Sarah Waddle of Derby, Conn., collided with a 9,000-gallon home heating oil tanker owned by Island Transportation Corp. of West Babylon."

I find it absolutely hilarious that 99% of the world thinks they are perfect drivers. GET OVER YOURSELVES.

and half the posts here involve driving eugenics :lol:

This is ironic coming from someone that is the biggest waste of space ever. You need a sense of humor. Unfortunately I do not know where you can download one. Try googling since that is the only thing you seem to be capable of doing. Calling you a moron would only insult other morons so I will refrain.

Yeesh....thats similar to what happened out on Rte 80 in colorado or something this last year, no?

A tanker fire right under an overpass that melted the supports to a point it blocked all of rte 80.

Hrm...both those times...men were driving....clearly you all suck at driving.

It's a scientific fact.:wasntme:
