55 mph speed limit - car in front of you slowly plods through the curves. When, you get to a straightaway where you can pass, they speed up to 65.

Passing Pussy: They ride your arse on a long straightaway but won't pass - even when they have a mile or more of clear opposing lane.

People who turn but won't clear the main lane until they come close to stopping.

That's how you are supposed to drive. You don't hit the gas through curves. Stick to trains...

Is that a go cart? Look how small and close together the pedals are. That clutch only had like 4 inches of travel before it was on the floor

Porsche actually.

I'm assuming it's been modded for racing, hence the close pedals and clutch travel.

Sounds like what it’s like driving on 30. There are some dumb slow drivers down that road

I don't think going 30 through a curve marked for 50 is how you are supposed to drive.

I had a log truck bounce about a 30 lb pine knot once in front of my truck then over the top this morning on Highway 19 while I was behind him at 60mph. That will make your arse draw up.

Probably about as much as a four foot piece of rebar kicked up from the road by a truck in front of you. I saw sparks from under the truck, a piece of metal flying at my windshield, and my life flashing before my eyes.

Thankfully it hit my hood, punched a hole in it, then flew off at an angle instead of straight back at my head.

People that look from side to side instead of keeping the eyes on the road.

Going 70 on a two lane Hwy with no vehicles behind me, and Uncle Buck eases out of his trailer park gravel driveway. He could of waited till I blew by. but naw, he had to pull out in front of me and proceed to drive 45 mph.

You absolutely do.

You should be increasing throttle from the apex forward keeping within the zone not to over or understeer too much then when you vector is straight enough to allow full throttle drive it through the floor.

I even see the plant baws doing it at 4 am in their F250s, though they tend to be early on the brakes and use excessive trail braking which unloads the rear and prevents enough steering input for proper rotation which leaves them wide and late on exit and slow to get back on the throttle. With a few hours of instruction, I could get them to work 4-5 minutes quicker.

How about this.
2pm on a Friday headed out of town i20E. Running around 65-70 mph close to Thomas road area in West Monroe.
I've just finished passing some hillybilly bastard going 35mph on the regular right lane.
Not long after that point I see a car pulled over on left side in grass median area. I'm slowing up since who knows what the hell he's doing. Then that stupid fricker starts to pull out onto the road at a very slow pace and apparently didn't even look.
Luckily I was able dodge that dumbass by moving toward the right lane slightly. Fortunately there no one directly in the right lane to hit.

I know that stupid cock sucker in that little piece of shite, reamed out Honda civic had to be high and/or drunk.

Pissed for days after. How can anybody be that fricking stupid?

Oh wait; I'm in Lewzianer!!

Heading up La. 1 several years ago on my motorcycle and had an oncoming semi kick up a piece of 2 x 4 that flew right at me, clipped the top of my windshield and bounced of into my helmet as I ducked my head just in time to keep from getting a face full of pine.

The pucker factor was so great my butthole probably sucked down on several inches of that seat I was sitting on.
