We've always had names for certain drivers. So I wanted to know some of yours. i.e....

Klingon: Someone you go to pass and they kling to your back bumper.

Turn enabler: This is the blinking light that enables a person to turn or change lanes. That's why you see it come on in the middle of a turn or a lane change. (Some people have a turn indicator that is what is used to let other drivers know you are getting ready to turn or change lanes.)

[OklaPony]

A$$hole: Person who drives in the left lane of an interstate at the exact speed limit and refuses to move to the right regardless of the common traffic flow.

[I_SMELL_FEAR]

Jeckyl and Hyde: The guy you just passed as he was going 50 mph that passes you 2 miles later as he is going 85 mph, that you once again pass as he is doing 50 again, then he passes you going 85 again....and on and on and on

[SoonerJack]

I go with the George Carlin standards

Idiots are people who are driving slower than I want them to.
Maniacs are people who are driving faster than I want them to.

My personal addition includes Pinhead. A pinhead is a person who, at a stoplight, will proceed into the intersection knowing that he may not clear then intersection before the light changes, thereby gridlocking the intersection. Pinheads cause me great stress and force usage of my "special hand signals."

[IB4OU2]

Equine Eliminator are cute little curly headed women that drive SUV's at night on country roads while running into unattended livestock on the way.

[TexasLidig8r]

DWO --- Any white Honda going 45 miles per hour on an interstate (Driving While Oriental)

MDM -- Any minivan occupied by an overweight secretary, her hair in curlers, applying eyemake up, while listening to soft rock and talking on the cell phone at the same time (Mini-van Driving Moran)

[mojo]

Pace Car: Any law enforcement vehicle on the interstate that nobody will pass regardless of how slow he is going, but as soon as he pulls off everyone resumes the speed they were going before they came upon him.

Forgot where I heard that, but seems to be pretty accurate

[frankensooner]

I'm More Importants The people, who see the lane merging signs, still fly past you and hold up traffic by cutting in at the very end of the lane.

Lots of Pinheads on Broadway downtown. My horn gets a workout as I'm leaving here.

I was going to post that exact thing. I had said something about this before I had heard the joke about it. I was talking to my wife one day and told her that the interstate looked like the Indy 500 pace lap. We were three wide and we were all going about 50 (speed limit was 60) behind the cop that was in front of all of the traffic. Cop turned off the interstate, traffic sped up immediately and I was doing 85 within 1 mile of him getting off the interstate.

I don't understand why people won't pass a cop that is going below the speed limit. If the limit is 60 and the cop is doing 55, I'm going to pass him...

interesting, I saw a sign i have not seen before, the other day. It said "State Law - Merge Now"... it would be sweet if those people starting getting ticketed.

Which brings up another name, Lane Hog Truck Driver Dude: The truck driver that takes up both lanes as he approaches the merge, to keep the IMI's from doing that exact thing.

I pass cops all the time, usually speeding (5-7 mph over posted). Never been pulled over once for it. I guess they figure this guys got nothing to hide.

OHP dude busted me for doing 77 in a 75 on Turner Turnpike when I passed him.

I do too. Most cops will give you about 5-7 over. There was a state trooper on the radio here one day thay said he'll usually give you up to 10 over on the interstate.

Speaking of signs and cell phones and whatnot...I was behind a car the other day that had one of those "hang up and drive" bumper stickers on it - betcha can't guess what the person that was driving was doing...




here's a hint: SHE WAS ON HER CELL PHONE!!!

[WILBURJIM]

DO NOT SPEED IN OHIO, especially with Michign plates. Been a rule up here for a long time.

[BlondeSoonerGirl]

This thread makes me have anger feelings.

I have heard OHP talk about Rolling Roadblocks, where they drive the speed limit and ticket people that pass them...I think they do it mainly during holidays, to keep traffic at a reasonable speed.

[TexasSooner01]

My favorites are the driver's stuck in traffic behind you which you watch (usually thru your rearview mirror) cuss, yell, make had signals, etc... b/c traffic is not moving and they are obviusly in a hurry to get somewhere. I call these guys entertainers

:D

[I_SMELL_FEAR]

Mr "Why the heck am I being slowed down": The guy behind you in slow moving traffic or at a stand still, that has to pull way to the left so he can see around you to make sure there is a reason for him being slowed.

[Petro-Sooner]

I love the Lane Hog Truck Driver Dude. I sometimes do this myself. I dispise IMI's.

[BoomerJack]

RE: The earlier reference to George Carlin - I thought he classified drivers as either MORONS or maniacs. Morons the ones who drive slow and don't seem to know where they're going. Maniacs the ones who drive a lot faster than everyone else, weave in and out, etc.

[Flagstaffsooner]

calUfonians a-holes with california plates that make U-turns on Rt 66 in the middle of Flagstaff.

They do. One day in OKC I passed that sign on 35 going north and about 50 feet past the sign were three cars all pulled over by motorcycle cops.

heh, that reminds me of all the time seeing, between Tulsa and Owasso around 46th st north, there would be about 10 motorcycle cops sitting on the onramp going North, and they will clock drivers on 169 from behind the signs on the overpass, and the motorcycle cops just roll out one after another giving speeding tickets.

[frankensooner]

My late father-in-law was the the best IMI. If someone was taking too long ordering in the drive thru, he pulled around them up to the window to place his order. I miss ya big guy!

Those aren't entertainers.
Jerk would need to post in this thread to describe an entertainer.

[opksooner]

Whaddaya call the putz who sits in the left lane of I-35, out in the boonies where there's no congestion, and refuses to move over for faster traffic? His attitude: "By gawd, I done picked me a lane and, by gawd, it's my lane and I'ma gonna sit here as long as I by gawd please!"

I guess he thinks that "Slower traffic move right" sign is a political ad.

[SoonerJack]

It is fitting and appropriate that SoonerJack would get corrected by BoomerJack.

As Ed McMahon would say, "You are correct sir.":D

It has been way too long since I've seen that Carlin bit.:O

So much smoke pouring out of the exhaust that I turn on recirc -

Captain Planet

I had some asshat pass me in the neighborhood. I said "what a jerk off" only to hear it repeated from the back seat by my four year old. I don't say anything anymore.

Also, I've decided that I'm not in a hurry to get anywhere. I just make sure that I've got good music. Makes life much simpler and I'll probably live longer, I know my brakes will.

You must commute on Broadway like I do.

Reading that just IRKS me the wrong way. I am tired of trying to be nice to people by letting them go ahead of me and what do they do?? Look the other way and speed off! Everytime it happens, I swear, I'm not doing it again, ever. If anyone here is like that, you are a worthless peice if human debris who wastes oxygen every time you breathe. Seriously, the world would be a better place without you. I hope you contract a serious STD and die a slow and miserable death. I hope no one goes to your funeral because they are too ashamed to be associated with you and that you're burried in an unmarked grave. You know who you are. The end.
