you think you guys have it bad.. try being slammed like i am.... no one ever see's me.. even cars have run me off the road or close to it before... to dumb drivers...


on the highway if someones driving slow i pass them and get the hell away from them since i don't want to be near any dumb driver not paying attention. i can usually tell if someone knows what there doign and depending on how the traffic is i'll just chill in the fast lane until an exit or so before i have to get off, eventhough i do run into the occasional dipshit driving slow in the fast lane and they never pull over either

or do trucks run all of us off the road? Friday afternoon a guy in a big Dodge truck on a cell phone ran me off the road. Then this morning two different trucks forced me on to the shoulder. Luckily I stayed on pavement every time so I did not damage my car.
I had a friend who sold his S for that exact reason. Ironically, he now drives a motorcycle, as if that's any better.

I just try to drive my car w/ the mentality of a proper motorcycle driver - "Drive as if you're invisible."

on saturday night, on my way to hagerstown, a semi-truck merged me of on to the rumble strips like i wasnt even there. then he flashed his high beams at me. true story, 3312 can vouch on that.

Unfortunately this behavior is not limited to SUV/truck drivers. I was run out of my lane on the Greenway by a woman in a 3-series sedan. She was all over the road while she was playing with her PDA!

I do love the fact that with the top down you can flip off and glare at people from any angle.

A lot of what you guys are mentioning at least sounds like accidents....I'm sure a few of you (Dan and others) can remember a not so pleasant group drive where the SUV tried to run us all off the road on purpose. Its horrible driving either way. Fortunately I have found the S to have quick enough responses to make up for others lack of so far.
