Sorry if it seemed like I had an issue with anything you said, just adding more data points. I loathe Atlanta traffic anytime near rush hour, and approach it with caution at any other time. I'd no idea it was rated that way via the NTSB though.

Stay safe down there.

No harm. I knew you werent trying to start anything. But, one thing i do find funny about Ohio. Not sure how often you are on 90/80, but they keep that road dam near spotless. Albeit its a toll road, but in the winter time and its a blizzard going on, that road looks like its in mid summer form. I wish they kept all the roads in that state like they do that road. Again, albeit its a toll road.

Keep seeing these fiat 500 toys driving around with atrocious fartcan exausts. You drive a FIAT 500 just STOP.

I drive late an night and all these hondas and toyotas keep tailgating me as soon as I step on the gas to pass someone they go fukn nuts and think im racing them. One of them almost went onto the shoulder just to get around me and took off cutting everyone else off. Godforbid you make eye contact with one of these lunatics half of them look like strung out murderers the other half 16 year old raging kids about to become strung out murderers.

And please I dont care how old or senile you are or how many old crusty church members you have in the van get the hell out of the left lane and let me pass. Even if youre not any of those things just get the hell out of the left lane. Oh and the worst -one lane road with no shoulders and some dumbass woman on the cellphone yapping away doing 25 in 45 while there is 15 cars behind her and the first person right behind her doesnt honk or do anything.

If im slowing down into a blind corner theres a reason for it dont be an idiot and put on your highbeams to flash me with your stupid prius.

also TURN OFF YOUR HIGHBEAMS YOU DONT NEED THEM IN THE DAMN CITY or a residential street going 5mph WHAT RETARD.

oh and please turn off your cellphone and turn down your disgusting music I dont want to hear crap being played from your pickup truck.

RED MEANS STOP GREEN MEANS GO, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

PS. Department of Transportation please fix the goddamn potholes its the end of june and I feel like im on the safari trail.

Karma 😋
Sometimes it works in your favor.
My son and I were driving home last week,
String of traffic, doing the speed limit on a 2 lane county road,
When a lady in a Lincoln town car, that had been tailgating us, blows past us over a double yellow, thru an intersection around a corner and passes 3 cars before diving back into our lane, narrowly missing oncoming traffic.
We couldn't believe it! We both said, she's going to kill someone.
Well sure enough, about 4 miles further, she rear ended a truck, then fled the scene.
A quick call to 911 while following her, results, 1 idiot off the road!

Today was none of those days...

Driving daughter and her friend back from the mall... 75mph speed limit, w/ an Accord in the left lane doing... 70... and a Caddy in the right doing 70! I'm behind them, waiting for them to either speed up or change lane to the right. Nooooo!

Finally the Caddy sprints up and starts to pass the Accord... I wait, but no lane change! I change lanes and as I'm passing, in the right lane, I look over to see a guy in the passenger seat giving me the Bird. My daughter asks, "Did he really just flip you off?"...

I blew him a kiss... mouthed "Jesus loves you!" to him... and waived goodbye.

1. You'll get a slow poke ticket.
2. You'll constantly get people yelling, honking and making obscene jestures in your direction.
3. You'll literally get ran off the road.
4. You're liable to get shot or injured in some sort of road rade incident.

When it comes to driving in Atlanta, they dont play. If you value your life and the saftey of all those in your car and those who would be affected by your passing, I suggest either you do 80mph + in the Atlanta metro area at ALL TIME, or avoid this city at all cost.

LOL... I go through Atlanta twice a year and you nailed it! 80mph is for slow pokes. The Mrs is usually with me and we stay in the OHV lane. I try to schedule it so we pass through there around 9am on a Sunday morning. It's not too bad then. Man, once you get through Atlanta though.. you better slow down. Those Georgia State Troopers love to run up on somebody doing 75 and pull them over.

Funny thing is and how true that statement is, as long as you are in the perimeter or inside the city and are doing 80+ everything is fine. The second, and i mean the second, you step out the perimeter doing 80+ you get a ticket. Never understood that logic, if indeed there is any

[Childs Play]

Damn this sums up Houston...

[Criticalmass]

Around here it's old beater pick-up trucks, Mercs, and Chargers that do this kind of thing. Everybody else is usually cool. The charger was running so rich I had to turn the recirc on. His tailpipes were covered in black soot and blowing hard as he tried to take off like he was racing me (I had cruise control on and came up on him on I-85 heading to Charlotte).

[Splitter]

yup

Westchester Sucks, so does NY, I lived in NY for many years. Commuted from Dutchess County to Westchester for 20 years. Get out of NY and stay as far away from cities as you can, life is much better. Nuff Said

Awesome! Only thing missing is people entering the turning lane and drifting back into the straight lane just before they turn...like they are turning a 16 wheeler. Hate that!
