Talk about White Knuckle driving on the way home tonight. :( - GoFuckYourself.com

seeric · 01-24-2008, 09:08 PM

uggggggh.

why can't people drive in the rain?

everytime it rains in the valley i think that its a sign from the heavens for all of the people with IQs in the range of 4 or so to come out and drive.

1. Raining enough so you can't see 10 feet in front of you does not mean "DRIVE FASTER!"

2. Tailgating and honking because I can only drive 30 in this downpour is gonna get you nothing but a face full of the ass end of my car.

3. Nice move asshole. Driving 65 on a dark freeway with torrential rain could actually be the reason that you didn't see that lake in the middle of the freeway and hydroplaned into the ditch.

saw two accidents on the way home. witnessed one.

fucking idiots.

i'm no one to talk about driving, but when it rains like that i live in the slow lane and do like 20 MPH.

glad you got home safe and people can be very reckless.

Spunky · 01-24-2008, 09:10 PM

Almost as fun as a half inch of snow and a city full of Asians and East Indians who haven't seen snow in their lives

seeric · 01-24-2008, 09:11 PM

like i said, i'm no driving angel. i know i cant drive.

but in the rain, i take it serious.

LOLLLLLLLLLLL

Some Guy · 01-24-2008, 09:13 PM

Good post, man. You really said it. I fucking hate assholes like that.

It snowed here in Tucson for the first time in ages last year, and I was amazed at the amount of people who had no idea how to handle driving in it. I saw so many people driving as fast as they usually would. There were accidents left and right 'cause people are too fucking retarded to understand the concept of "slowing the fuck down."

farkedup · 01-24-2008, 09:22 PM

dude... earlier today I had WHITE out conditions.... icy roads, can't see the rear of a truck that I flew up on and nearly hit.... my front bumper kind of went under his REAR bumper...

Drove a few miles not sure where his ass was then suddenly it was perfectly clear and no snow on the road anymore....

ronaldo · 01-24-2008, 09:24 PM

You know, I gotta tell you. Being from Canada, it always cracked me up how you'd almost always see a traffic jam whenever Socal got hit with some rain. With the shit we drive through up here, it does look pretty funny. But having driven cross country a few times in the past couple of years, my respect for US drivers has increased immensely. Up here in Canada, at least where I live, driving 65 bumper to bumper means, slam on your brakes so the fucker behind you gets off your ass. But freeway drivers in the US don't miss a beat.

PLUS, when there IS a traffic jam (I've been privledged enough to be in a couple), it's like a well oiled machine in letting people in. Up here, people leave hockey games early to avoid the traffic jam because they KNOW noone will let them in.

And if you think LA is bad in the rain, you should try Houston. The wetter the faster.

So do I. I grew up in England so I know how to drive in the rain. I wish all those Angelenos who can't drive in the rain, just wouldn't. So guys, please just stay home--you'll feel safer, and so will those of us who know what we're doing. Thanks.

I think when it rains in LA, people drive faster because they are in a hurry to get out of the rain.

Here in Louisiana people's cars fall off the highway and they often go into the water. There are highways here that go for miles over just water, its really fucking scary to me not being from here. I had never seen anything in my life.

and its Mardi Gras season, all you see is bent trees, downed fences, and skid marks in the grassy medians. But that is the drunks I think anyhow.

Try doing it on a motorcycle. I have to admit, between the swamps and bridges it was a little hairy out there.

Fuck Houston. We drove through there and the only thing that didn't suck was the huge interstate #'s painted on the lanes so you know where to stay. It was like a video game traveling through there with a trailer changing lanes. There was construction going on too, but it sucked.

My buddy and I hit Houston at rush hour in a downpour on our bikes. I actually feared for my life.

with all the drunk drivers down here, a motorcycle is an easy target and you don't see them much. Sounds like an adventure though.

They only changed the open container laws in vehicles here a few years ago, and people STILL bitch about it. Even people who don't drink and drive.

seeric · 01-24-2008, 10:12 PM

drinking and driving is bad news. let me tell ya.

cherrylula · 01-24-2008, 10:16 PM

I should have just pasted the article, its short... here:

Quote:

Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco signed into law Senate Bill 341, a measure that prohibits passengers from having open containers of alcohol in vehicles. It takes effect August 15. (2004)

While Louisiana drivers have been barred from having an open alcoholic beverage in their possession, SB 341 closes the loophole allowing passengers to drink while in the car.

According to the Associated Press, the new law would allow a fine of $100 for a conviction. Many local governments in the state already have such a law in place and although the new law would supercede the local statutes, cities of over 50,000 would be able to collect a fine higher than SB 341's $100.

Exceptions to the law include: passengers in licensed limousines; taxis or hotel courtesy vehicles; and passengers in parked cars, such as those attending tailgate parties where drinks are served.

The alcoholic beverage industry in Louisiana had lobbied against similar bills for years.

You probably could have gone faster if you weren't towing that wake-boarder.

DigitalDruid · 01-25-2008, 12:23 AM

Up here the first snow fall will yield at least 10 in the ditch on my way to work the first day.

AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE · 01-25-2008, 03:40 AM

tru, I will never forget how fucked up LA drivers were.
THE FUGGING worse drivers in the history of the world hands down.

DatingGold · 01-25-2008, 04:33 AM

I once saw a guy in aone of those little ass honda hatchbacks doing like 90 in a huge ass downpour.. I was like what an idiot.. about 10 seconds later he hydroplaned off the highway but got damn lucky to not hit anything or roll his car.

One of the reasons I do not like Louisiana in general.

That just tells me you have very limited driving experience.

Rand · 01-25-2008, 11:25 AM

At least if you drive like that in the rain you are smart enough to be in the slow lane.

I always marvel at how LA drivers freak out when it rains. Caution is one thing, but acting like they're driving on ice is another. The guys that slow down to jogging speed yet remain in the fast lane make me want to go postal! That in itself is enough to cause an accident.

And I swear... I want a "Hang Up And Drive" sign launcher to fire at some of these people. Ugh!

one of the things i dont miss about LA, people drive like shit in the rain there!

they are in rush to "beat the rain home" or some shit...

Gabriel · 01-25-2008, 11:29 AM

I'm the asshole behind you.

If you cant drive in the rain stay home.

Baddog knows what im talking about.

SykkBoy · 01-25-2008, 11:38 AM

Don't forget those people who just happen to "forget" to use a turn signal...and in the downpour type rain, they forget even more....but that's Vegas not LA....I think there is some kind of law here that makes me a douchebag for doing things like signalling for a turn or lane change...and god forbid I actually stop at a Stop sign...the guys behind me seem to think it's just a suggestion...

NosMo · 01-25-2008, 11:59 AM

Try driving in the rain at night for 12 hours every night.......Saw more than my fair share of idiots and wrecks. I like to think of it as Darwin's theory in action.
