Driven Mad

I'd like to think I know how to drive. I'm courteous to other drivers -- mostly. Just like you all are, I'm sure.

In any event, this situation bugs me. I'm driving in the less-than-high-speed lane on an interstate highway and there's a car in front of me and an exit ramp is coming up. And, of course, the car in front of me might put on the right turn signal ahead of the exit ramp, maybe not.

Then the idiot, before getting off the highway and onto the exit ramp, puts on the brakes, like this:

Why? The exit ramp is for slowing down. The highway is for driving, not stopping.

Just sayin'.

I can think of two ON RAMPS in the Twin Cities where drivers are famous for coming to a complete and total STOP.

OMG! Is that my front bumper up your ass!?!?!?

ACK!

I try to be courteous about yelling obscenities and honking my horn at those assholes.
