Why is it that the worst drivers can be found on the interstate?

Question

It seems everyday on my commute to work I come into contact with some of the most ignorant people who are severly vehicularly challenged. It's like they have no idea though they drive the same path everyday which lane they need to be in and wait until the last minute to get over for their exit even if it means cutting another car off. It happens mostly within the city. Also I would almost swear that if you dumped a gallon of water on the road that some idiot will wreck because of it. While I am at it why do people consider the left hand lane of the interstate the fast lane when inevitable there is some old man or woman in that lane who goes 5 miles below the posted speed. I mean really if you are going to drive slow get the hell out of my way, I have somewhere to be obviously you do not. Has anyone else noticed this? Surely there are others out there like me that wonder how the hell some people managed to get a license in the first place.

I never said I was a maniac or that I cuss and scream about people I am civilized. I believe what I meant was misunderstood. I do let people in especially tractor trailers that other people are inconsiderate to. It is just in my experience people get on the interstate with no forethought as to what they are doing or where they are going. I myself have never wrecked a vehicle because I am courteous and have my mind where it belongs and that is on getting where I am going without being a hazard or hinderance to anyone.

Answer 1

maybe because the interstate roads hold more cars than say the road you live on. think about the laws of percentages.

have you ever just let three people in when you really didn't want to? try something tomorrow - instead of cursing at all the people in your way, offer a random act of kindness - let them on the road, in your lane, slow down a bit. it is amazing what will happen.

have a good day and let this morning's traffic jam go.

Answer 2

You have some serious attitude problems. Me thinks you should restrict your own driving to city streets and stay off interstates.

You are quick to judge others.
And you are supremely over confident of your own driving skills. Just because you have no accidents does *not* mean you are a good driver. You are either lucky or haven't been caught yet. Or both.

I think you should also take an intensive and comprehensive course in time management skills. If you managed the 24 hours in each of your days a lot better, you would find a way to give yourself more time to drive from point A to B. Driving in a hurry is a sign of poor time management. If you started your journey 5 minutes earlier, you would not be so upset about the traffic.

You're what we refer to as a "road rage" driver that most states are making a unified attempt to remove from the highway because of your danger to others!
The highway belongs to all and we SHARE it together! Not everyone wants to break the speed limits and pay fines every other day! Not everyone wants to pay outrageous insurance premiums either because of accidents or inconsiderate people like yourself!
I drive interstates every day of the week and no matter how fast I drive, there are idiots out there that will pas you!
I do agree with you there are drivers on the road who should not be due mostly to age concerns however, they are entitled to be there until the laws are put into effect denying them that right.
I would like the emphasis to go toward "road rage" drivers first because in my opinion, you are mans biggest nightmare behind the wheel of anything!
