Default Is it just me?

Seriously, i don't know if its the warm weather or what, but everywhere i go it seems people are either driving like maniacs, or i am in traffic because of accidents.

Just today some guy in a 96 pos mustang v8 (with altezzas) passes me over a double yellow line on a narrow road...with a car in the oncoming lane. God forbid i stepped on it to not let him pass, which he wouldnt have been able to (thanks greddy), he would have been dead, along with the other people coming the opposite way.
EDIT: Just to clarify, there were no shoulders, and each lane had a concrete wall.

Another story, yesterday i am waiting to make a left at a light and before the light turns green arrow, the guy behind me honks the horn. I look back to see if maybe he honked at someone else, but hes waving for me to turn. So i did what anyone else would do, drove the speed limit until he wasn't behind me anymore.

Just be careful everyone.

yeah, i told the upstate section about my little run in. I was in a left only turning lane with some lady in front of me with a shattered tail light and no turn signal, the light turns green and she starts to go, so I start to go and glance left to make sure everyone is stopping at the light, and of course it's at that moment that she stops in the middle of the intersection and I rear end her. She then makes a right hand turn and just continues on down the road.

Argh, now I gotta replace my front bumper and make sure the mounts on my passenger side headlight aren't broken.

Wow, she didn't get out to see if there was damage to her car?

Forget honking, one thing i will never understand is why people flash their high beams at you.
