Today's idiot DC drivers...
on my way to work this AM, driving down US-29 (four lane road, undivided
with traffic lights etc.) I get stuck in the right lane behind a long
line of stopped vehicles. I change lanes to the left after all traffic
has passed me and find that the backup is due to another Stealth Bus(tm)
that was so far ahead of me that I couldn't see it (but apparently was
invisible to the ten drivers on the downside of the hill that normally
could.) OK, no real problem... I'm almost to the front of the line when
a car in front of me, who I've caught up to in the process of passing
the long line to my right, signals a left turn and stops in front of me.
I stop as well (obviously) and the taxicab behind me, apparently
unable to see beyond my car, lays on the horn for at least 15 seconds.
Gawd these people piss me off. Of course, GPStroll will somehow figure
out a way to explain how this is my fault. Just like the city bus that
was behind me going down the toll road with his brights on... I swear
one of these days I'm going to just stop in front of one of these
assholes, grab my trusty Mag-Lite and bust out all of his headlights.
Hopefully someone will testify in my defense.
Fucking rude ass stupid people. I really hate DC.

Sounds like "one of those days".
IMO,"Fucking rude ass stupid people" are everywhere,all 50 states.
I guess sometimes,I'm one of them,too.... ;-}
On SR436 tonight,3 lanes each way,45MPH,divided hwy,6:30 PM,just past
beginning of 2 lanes of left turn onto Red Bug Road,guy in front of me in
the *middle* thru lane(never the left thru lane!) slows,then nearly
stops,then swerves 2 lanes over to get into the turn lanes.
This shit happens EVERY night,NO police are ever around to write
tickets,and I really want to stick my semi-auto out the window and pump a
couple of rounds thru their rear windows.[but I don't]
Every once in awhile,I can get next to them in the LEFT thru lane and block
them out. B-)

Don't forget to put on the 4-way flashers and take a good *long* time
doing that inspection. You wouldn't want to miss anything, right? ;)

Scott,
Wasn't it you that recently posted about someone's inability to
comprehend that one could be honking past the car in front of them, to
the cause of the problem? It was certainly on this group, and I
thought it was even your post. The gist was when a car a little
farther back gets on the horn it's because the car directly behind the
fool causing the problem is too timid to do it. In this case it seems
to me that Nate may have been "honked past", i.e. the person behind
him was honking at the car causing the problem, and Nate inaccurately
assumed that he was the one being honked at. This may not be the
case, I wasn't there, I'm just saying from what info I have it seems a
possibility.
Have you ever been the third or fourth car in line at a red light, and
needed to sound the horn because the lead driver was too busy to
bother watching the light, and the car behind them was "too polite" to
honk? I was once a passenger in a car when the driver started rifling
through the back seat at a red light. When I have her shit about the
light being green and her facing the wrong way, she responded "I
figured you'd say something or someone would honk. They always do".
The worst part is the "always" - she did this regularly, even when
alone. I've also seen her extremely angry that she didn't "make" a
light. No awareness of how often she causes others to be in that same
situation.

It depends on what the driver ahead of nate was doing, it's hard for me
to tell from the description.

Does she flip off the driver that honks? Seems to be something a good
number of people in my area do when some honks to tell them to get their
head up from under the dash....

I agree, hence the qualifiers "may not be the case, I wasn't there"
and "possibility".

At the time she was a raver hippy type, too smile-filled and positive
to want to throw the negative energy. Oh, wait, when she was behind
the wheel? Yeah, she did. Currently I couldn't tell you, as I have
not been in a vehicle with her in probably 5 years.

Entirely possible, but why honk at a driver attempting to execute a
legal, signaled left turn? Doesn't sound like a "problem" to me,
unless you expect the driver to cut off oncoming traffic.
I agree that people who unnecessarily hold up traffic *should* have
this pointed out to them, but this doesn't qualify as "unnecessarily"
in my book.

What's "your fault"...? You don't have any control of who uses their
horn, except your own. You do have control over 1 person regarding
their state of pissed offedness.
I think practically anyone but morons can understand being a little
irritated at morons who use their horn to inappropriately express
their emotional state, but allowing that to affect your emotional
state is without benefit to you.

Huh. A few days ago you didn't care whether your headlights were
bright beyond the legal limit, as long as your realized your benefit.
Can you see how that might work out for others now...?

That's not a fair comparison. Bright and properly positioned
headlights are not a nuisance in the rear-view mirrors of other
vehicles. High beams are pointed up, farther down the road, and as
such aim into many rearview mirrors. The elevation of a busses
headlights would just add to the issue.

Please point out exactly where in my post I advocated using
"headlights ... bright beyond the legal limit" or in any way
compromising the safety of my fellow motorists.
In actual fact, E-codes are indeed legal for use in the US *ON
MOTORCYCLES ONLY* (most E-codes sold in the US will have both the E-in-
a-circle mark as well as "SAE M" on the lens. Some very few,
expensive drop-in replacements do actually bear SAE passenger car
approval markings, but that is because of a "harmonized" beam pattern
that manages to fulfill both the ECE requirements as well as US
requirements, and IMHO there's no benefit for me to remove my old E-
codes and drop hundreds of dollars on the new ones when my car has
passed its state safety inspection two years in a row with my old-
style E-codes installed) and and the only reason they are not legal
for use on passenger cars is because NHTSA has its head up its ass.
Their reasoning behind not allowing straight ECE-only headlamps for
passenger car use is that they do not produce *enough* stray upward
light on low beam to "properly illuminate overhead signs." Look it up
if you don't believe me. How this is acceptable for motorcycles but
not passenger cars is a complete mystery to me, but I can say that I
have never had any issues reading any signs at night other than ones
so small/dirty/badly placed that I would have had trouble seeing them
in broad daylight as well.
In addition, if you compare a standard 7" round E-code's low beam
pattern to that of a standard 7" round US-spec sealed beam headlight,
you will find the E-code has a much better formed beam pattern with a
crisp horizontal cutoff that actually *reduces* glare as perceived by
oncoming traffic.
As usual, you attempt to get in a dig at someone you've taken a
dislike to and end up only demonstrating your total ignorance of the
subject matter.

S&DDAM admits to being drunk and to possible drunk driving by way of
