Idiots of the week
(By Steve Brenneis, Ars Mens Mentis) - First up is the older woman in a beige Honda who blew the stop sign at a side street coming on to Lake Jeanette Rd. Never even slowed down. Of course, she was only going about 25 mph, which she continued to do all the way to Lawndale. She also managed to go most of the way there riding on the center line. This was at about 10 am, so I had to wonder if it wasn't maybe a little early for grandma to be hitting the peach schnapps. I guess if you're going to get into your car and annoy the piss out of every other driver on the road, you might as well have a good buzz.
Second is the latest to trigger one of my standard moron alerts. If I'm using cruise control and I pass you more than twice, you are a dumbass. This was a minivan, so no one should be surprised. I am constantly amazed at people who piss and moan about the price of gas, yet who refuse to use their cruise control. If this is you, you are definitely part of the problem.
Finally, the biggest winner is the dimwit in a white electric company van who I managed to pass five different times between the East side of Winston-Salem and the King exit on US 52. He was poking along on Business I-40 just East of Salem Lake, doing at least 10 mph under the speed limit. He had accumulated a line of cars that were timidly jumping out into the left lane to pass him. I managed to get by him and went on my merry way. Somewhere around the Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. exit on US 52, he came barreling up beside me and then decided to match speeds with me. I personally feel that capital punishment for doing that would be perfectly reasonable. All the rest of the way up US 52, this fool would jump into the left lane, speed up and pass me and then slow down. I would pass a slower car and end up tailing this idiot. He would eventually slide over into the right lane, but minutes later he would come tearing up behind me again in the left lane. One time, I was in the left lane and he pulled right up behind me. I yielded and got in the right lane, but instead of passing me, he slowed down. If this person reads this, by some bizarre coincidence, you need to go to the nearest DMV office and turn in your license. You are way too stupid to drive a car.
I'm going to start writing license plate numbers down.
