If You Drive Like This, You STINK!

There I was, minding my own business in the far-right lane at 50MPH (the speed limit) when a car pulled out of a driveway to my right and started traveling in the same direction and in the same lane, as mine. And the driver did NOT stand on the gas. This forced me to choose between ramming the back of their car with a delta-V of about 20MPH, or change lanes to pass. Just another day in paradise, right? How about just another day in ThesePeopleStinkAtDrivingland Austin:

There was no traffic in the left lane. They could have pulled out across the right lane and gone as slow as they liked in the left lane, and not risked anyone's life.

Traffic in front of my car was thin. A huge gap existed, but they chose to wait until half of it was gone. Acceleration-time-in-traffic wasted for them meant danger for us all.

If they had jumped on the gas, there would have been no problem at all. They didn't.

The icing on the cake: there was NOBODY BEHIND ME! If they had waited just a few more seconds, this goes from a dangerous example of one of my pet peeves, to perfect driving behavior.

Yes, it was a female driver.
