Live right off Dumbarton and can't stand that road. Either somebody driving in the left lane going 34 mph because they have to turn in their neighborhood 1.7 miles up the road or as you said people driving dangerously at 60 mph weaving in and out of traffic. Where's the happy medium?

Honestly at this point, and I say this with much nuance as a more aggressive-leaning driver, I think I’m going to start erring on the side of extreme caution here. It seems people on this road are too stupid to think while driving. So if I just be the most predictable basic bitch in the road with my signals on for half a mile, sure I may get flicked off or honked at, but maybe someone doesn’t have to go to the hospital, or someone elses car doesn’t get totaled. Or mee-maw bringing the trash in doesn’t get clipped.

Believe me when I say, I get what you’re saying with the happy medium, but I don’t think it can be achieved on this road, at least not how it is now. Been here 2 years now and it seems to have only gotten worse.

Despite CONSTANTLY seeing police pulling people over. I mean if you were a thief, and you know SO MANY PPL get caught stealing from Lowes, would you still steal from that Lowes?

The secret to avoiding rage is signal BEFORE braking. If you brake before signaling you are doing it WRONG and will piss people off.
