Default just an interesting thought

i m sure this had happened to alot of the CL members, but i just feeling some drivers are just an a**hole or stupid ( especially alot of them drives civic and integras, but not saying that i hate or go against them)

anyway here is the story, i was driving to school this morning, and like an usual La morning, traffic everywhere. so i was just following the flow (probably going 20mph) but stay on one of those lanes that moves a little faster than the rest of the lanes( u all know what i mean). so then i saw a mid 90's civic, just cutting lanes, going around traffic to try to get ahead more, at this point i was thinking how far he can get, i guess he did get little ahead and i lost site of the car, and i was still following the flow, at last i was exiting to another freeway, and i saw that civic was just right in front of me. and i began to think, which driving will be faster, following the flow, or just cut through the traffic.

and i was thinking that why would people do that kinda of things if the reult is going to be the same, isn't that just stupid and acting like an a**hole cuting through??

I have the same observation since a long time ago, even if it's in more freeflowing traffic >20 mph, unless you are going insanely fast. IMO, it's not worth it to try to cut through everybody, unless the car in front of you is going unreasonably slow.

some people are impatient and fidgety by nature and being forced to slow their pace down to the rate of bumper to bumper traffic is too much for them to tolerate so cutting lanes the whole way home is their only release. other people are genuinely late, rushed, or need to be somewhere and want to be proactive about it....

All my years of driving, I always noticed that. The guy constanly switching lanes always ends up next to you eventually. I just stay in the left lane

Right on. I love it when someone is riding my ****, then cuts over around me, back in front of me and around two cars and then I end up next to them at a stop light. I get pleasure out of looking at them knowing that they suck at rational thinking and life. That is all.
