I was on a two lane road(one lane each direction) in a no passing zone going about 41-42 in a 40. And I check my rear view just in time to see a car come around the SUV behind me, in a turn lane no less, probably only about 200 ft from the point where the guy started the pass to where he jumped back in behind me. Funny thing was he ended up turning right at the next light...only about half a mile away.

About as bad as the cadillac I had yesterday. Driver decided to swerve around me to the right racing to a red light, HAD to be doing @ least 60, racing to a redlight in the rain too mind you. Missing my car by inches and then beats me to the redlight only to get stuck there one car in front of me, then when the light goes green he cuts off a semi in the other turn lane. (SOME PEOPLE...REALLY HAD ME GOING SINCE HE COULD HAVE EASILY LOST CONTROL IN THOSE CONIDITIONS AND HIT ME AND OTHERS)

I get a lot of people that pass in front of me from left to right only to hit the brakes and fall in behind the cars exiting where I-95 North splits away to the right from Rte 128 North which continues straight. I really wish I knew of an inexpensive dash cam I could hook up just to video some of these idiot stunts.

I had 2 SUV's pass me on a 2 lane road this week, the first passed safely, but the second passed me and the first and nearly took out a car coming the other way....

Heh ... that interchange between 93 and 128 is the one they keep
talking about ripping up and rebuilding with flyover ramps, taking
a fair bit of private property in the process ... but frankly
if people spaced themselves out and did the zipper thing, there
*wouldn't* be the horrendous congestion at that spot in the
first place. A good public edumacation campaign and some enforcement
would probably cost less than the proposed concrete jungle, and
have much more far-reaching beneficial effects elsewhere too.

I think you all might be misunderstanding me, the car passed the SUV that was BEHIND me so he went from 2 cars back to right behind me and ended up having to sit there until his turn.

I had a silver Camry (middle age woman on a phone) start riding my butt as I was in the right lane, doing 52 in a 55. (Local guys--just south of the Dixie Highway exit on 71/75.) An onramp (Buttermilk) dumps some cars onto the now five lane highway and she decides to pass me on the right like an idiot even though the lane ends in less than 500 feet.

I couldn't resist and also went WOT. I got plenty of angry yapping and the driver's salute for that as she came within inches of going in the grass before slowing and getting behind me again. LOL
