Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / April 2008Merge-impaired Enabler
I saw a Sloth merge onto the roadway during an evening rainshower, and this Sloth had no lights on. At another merge point, the Sloth started braking, apparently to "accommodate" the mergers by stopping. I was accelerating to pass the Sloth when it flicked on its turn signal and drifted into the passing lane. I leaned on the horn, but the Sloth refused to stop its illegal lane change. I accelerated to avoid the collision and watched the Sloth start blocking the passing lane, quickly causing a traffic jam from the merging traffic and the dangerous condition of being in the passing lane with no lights on and not passing anybody. I do not understand why the Sloth wanted to be in the passing lane, when it was going slower than the merging traffic. It was not passing, so why did this no-lights driver move into the passing lane? > I saw a Sloth merge onto the roadway during an evening rainshower, and > this Sloth had no lights on.

Sounds like the driver took advice from Aunt Judy. >>I saw a Sloth merge onto the roadway during an evening rainshower, and >>this Sloth had no lights on.

I call that "normal morning commute on the Dulles Toll Road." Even more special was the sloth in the F-250 (complete with plywood enclosure around the bed an "Mi Dios es Real" bumper sticker) tooling along at about 10 under in the slow lane that decided he wanted to exit while I was beside him on the decel ramp. I guess his Dios doesn't believe in turn signals. nate  Signaturereplace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel > Even more special was the sloth in the F-250 (complete with plywood > enclosure around the bed an "Mi Dios es Real" bumper sticker) tooling > along at about 10 under in the slow lane that decided he wanted to exit > while I was beside him on the decel ramp.

Not accelerating, just driving along at appx. the speed limit. > Genius!

Stunts like that are not that rare. I've been boxed in on an exit-only lane and had to brake to be able to move over, only to have the fool boxing me in take that exit. I have also been at intersections preparing to make a right turn only to have multiple MFFY types pass me on the shoulder, despite prohibitory signage. That's worse than DUI and speeding combined (despite S&DDAM's argument). |
