The hoodlums who treat the Angeles Crest Highway as their private weekend race track are a sure sign of our society's decline. They think it is their right to drive dangerously and stoopidly. A moto passed us on a double yellow heading into a 25 mph curve and wasn't back over the line one second before a car came around the curve. If it had been some phuktard wannabe Ken Block in his POS '03 Accord it could have been bad.
On the way back one of those clowns was behind me. I drove 5 over the limit and a bit more on the straights and uphills for about 8 miles. I could see him coming unhinged back there. He finally lost it and passed me on a double yellow and immediately cut in front of me and slammed on his brakes. That's weak, bra! I went to pass him so he swerved left. I'm loving it! Only problem is then I had a pissed off wife screaming at me and harshing my vibe! Phuktard and I did the tango a time or two more before his pea brain told him not only had he met his match but that a Ford Raptor driver is not gonna be intimidated by some moron in a 12 year old Civic! He finally flipped me off and sped off.

Agree with everything you wrote. I freely admit that when one of those rice rocket riders ends up on the pavement, I don't lose any sleep over it.

https://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Drunk-driver-slept-while-Tesla-drove-Hwy-101-on-13435295.php
When a pair of California Highway Patrol officers pulled alongside a car cruising down Highway 101 in Redwood City before dawn Friday, they reported a shocking sight: a man fast asleep behind the wheel.
The car was a Tesla, the man was a Los Altos planning commissioner, and the ensuing freeway stop turned into a complex, seven-minute operation in which the officers had to outsmart the vehicle’s autopilot system because the driver was unresponsive, according to the CHP.
The arrest of 45-year-old Alexander Samek on suspicion of drunken driving reignited questions about the uses, and potential abuses, of self-driving technology.

My neighbor, a Phd out of Caltech, and a member of the board of a national oil company that is located in Asia, is a big Tesla fan. Left after Memorial day on a national road trip...."be back Labor Day weekend."
1st week of August he gets dropped of by a Uber, sans Tesla. Was sleeping in the Tesla one night as it headed west in northern New Mexico...Tesla couldn't figure out a 'T' intersection, and they both ended up in a tree....
Had a new Tesla delivered a couple of weeks later.

Utah natives are pretty damn scary, especially in Utah County, but what do I know I have only driven in 45 states...
Got picked up hitching in 1980 by Jello, that was an adventure, glad I got to ask him if he drove his scooter chair the same way, he got a good laugh.

I think as self- driving technology advances it could potentially significantly reduce accidents from carelessness and being under the influence.
Just think of the potential for road trips.. travel by night, enjoy your wine, sleep in the back, and wake up fresh at your destination.

We hitch hiked from the Valley to the Meadows. It was a Grade V endeavor, no one would stop for us. Finally this chick in a Mercedes gave us a ride. She said that she was a local, had grown up in Yosemite. She was constantly passing other cars on blind curves on the way to Tuolomne. She said that knew the traffic patterns well and "no one was coming the other direction."
Another time I hitch-hiked from San Jose to Yosemite Valley. An older guy in a Cadillac gave me a ride. He said that he had to be at his brother's wedding at the chapel in 3-1/2 hours. I was so terrified of his driving that I pretended to go to sleep, but I was actually cowering under a blanket.

Edit: I forgot to tell a story and give a name. Geoff I will leave it at that had a habit of passing cars just when we were entering a single lane bridge in WV. The later is important.

Proof that liberals are dicks and racists, as much as they accuse conservatives of the same.
Wow...
Nicely done, Gary.

Kunlun, and how stoopid was that woman to walk behind that psycho? Ho Lee Phuk!
Just yesterday I watched some tard clearly speeding (I have a radar gun implant) behind me. Without my implant I could also tell they were speeding as I was doing the limit and they were gaining on me fast. I got to the stop sign, waited the 0.2 seconds I normally wait (and I actually did stop) and took off. The tard stopped at the stop sign and sat there for like 4 or 5 seconds! There was no other traffic. If they were in such a big hurry what changed? I see this constantly. I used to attribute it to them seeing ghosts. Probably now they’re checking their all important phone to see if their big stock option move paid off.
Page 2:
LA, in a tacit admission of failure ‘To Serve and Protect’, has announced they are going to raise residential area speed limits. The most libtard city council in the country, save Portland, is basically saying “To hell with y’all, yer on yer own.”

Oh god, I am bound to be the brunt of some stories in this thread. Good thing Waugh doesn't do the interweb or we would be here all night. I have almost killed that man more times than any man deserves.
I'd say this. When you put Jan in a capable car like his Subie WRX Turbo he goes fast but it's not downright scary.
But the time I let him drive my 4 door long bed Tacoma from Mojave to L.A. down the 14? Good God. That road is like running the gauntlet at the speed limit. I just wrote it off, I'm not getting home alive.
