Lady pulls out on to a road with a 45 mph speed limit absolutely crawling, decides she wants to get into the left turn lanes, and instead of just making the move, felt stopping was the best option.........Yes I was pissed.

People who slam on the brakes when trying to merge are the worst.

From what I could see they were definitely an older couple (lady was driving) and if I had to guess, I’d peg them about mid-60s

considering this is something I get to see everyday I honestly feel completely separated from your perspective, in fact... thats just mild, here in Mexico worse shit happens all the time and we shrug it off.

its not better, but... I don’t know... I drive defensively and I try to predict what idiots do, in the case of the lady. Had I been you, I would’ve changed lanes and pulled my high beams at her, crossed the light if I had time and if not I wouldn’t have told her anything.

I wouldn’t have done what the lady did but I know friends that have gone in reverse on the ring road cus they missed their exit. They get mad at me when I drive prudently and safely.

I saw her pull out and then I saw the blinker and was like well she’ll scoot across and I’ll go on about my night. Indecisive drivers are the worst. I had to slam on the brakes pretty hard since she came to almost a complete stop.

Oh I see this kind of stuff all the time, I just happened to have a clear clip of it. I thought about changing lanes after the fact, but then again she had plenty of time to continue on with her lane change, and given her indecisiveness, it was probably safer for me to just stop behind her than try to go around her either direction and have her either continue over to the left or dart back right. She would have been fine if she kept moving but the second she hit the brakes, I did too since I really didn’t know what she was going to do after that point.

I hope the next time this happens, they get hit from behind by a distracted driver. Two birds, one stone.

Is there any time of day West Broad isn’t awful to drive?

Nope. Always a shitshow

I see shit like this every single day, I just shrug it off and drive defensively. I don’t know if yelling at someone is going to make them a better driver.

So I talk all like I’m all high and mighty and I’ve lost my shit several times last year from people driving SO GOD DAMN SLOW. Like 10-15 on a 25 mph county road where most people go 35, then randomly stop and turn off the road without signaling-should had taken a photo of their plate and called it in, I think they were drunk. Or the other day a car was going 10 on a snow covered road and I was the first car behind the slow poke. Eventually there were 20-30 cars behind me. That’s when I laid on my horn until the car just pulled off the road.

Now I’m all worked up.

I don’t miss that at all.

I’m thankful I live on the southside. Midlothian and Hull Street are no picnic but compared to Broad they’re not so bad.

People that just go plain slow don’t really piss me off. Sure I get mad but I keep it contained since I’ll just pass them at some point, albeit illegally more than likely if they are slow enough. But no, the ones that set me off and make my blood boil are people who ride the brake pedal and then go fast and slow with seemingly no purpose.

Seriously. Now I take Midlothian from Reedy Creek to almost Powhatan when I have to work at corporate and its wayyy better. Still some totally insane drivers, but insane is almost more tolerable than oblivious.

I’m working at a store out in Powhatan next weekend. Fortunately I’ll be coming from the south so the part of my travel on 60 will be pretty easy.

Nah, just for a week every two months for some training stuff, so I’ve spent a lot more time there than usual lately.
