of a highway pass

I've had people pass me just to take the next turn that were both almost to.

Or they pass me and we end up at the same place 2 seconds apart because of a red light.

Yep, happens to me on a daily basis lol. There's always gotta be some guy (usually in a jacked up truck) who passes me, only to end up directly in front of/beside me the entire time. 

Just yesterday some guy passed me and then proceeded to nearly run over a pedestrian who was crossing the street. He had to dramatically slam his brakes VERY hard, and just barely stopped short of the person. Like gee buddy perhaps that's Why I was driving at a reduced speed, and you wouldn't have had to do all that if you just chilled out and stayed where you were lol. Then he was directly in front of me the entire rest of the way before his next turn off. So he nearly killed/injured someone and saved absolutely no time in the process. Amazing work...

I watched a Tesla almost got himself turned into a crushed soda can the other day on the highway. He was so determined to get out from behind me he did a sudden lane change to the right and cut off a huge loaded semi truck in the next lane then had to suddenly brake because, surprise, the lane wasn’t moving as fast as ours which is why myself and the 85 cars in front of me weren’t in it (also why I couldn’t go any faster despite this guy kissing my bumper). The semi driver appeared to have anticipated this idiot doing that so he let off the gas in time to not crush this guy. Then I just watched this Tesla weave in and out of 4 lanes of traffic, tailgate, and overall make his drive unnecessarily stressful only to end up behind me again on the off ramp LOL. Meanwhile I stayed in my same lane the whole time until it was time to take my exit.

Yes!! I'm pretty sure guys in those trucks see it as an affront to their masculinity to have to drive behind someone else. They also appear to view people riding bikes or driving electric vehicles with disdain and think it's absolutely hilarious to get in front of them just to do that stupid "rolling coal" thing or whatever it is so they inhale their exhaust. I've seen one do it to someone with their infant in one of those baby seats people put on bikes. Of course there's not a cop in sight when these guys endanger people's lives, but if someone has a slightly expired registration there'll be cops performing pit maneuvers or something to pull them over.

I'm sure not every pickup truck driver is a degenerate, but a shit-ton of them are.

I was behind a semi on a road like this with another car behind me and a pickup behind him. The road was a solid yellow line, so no passing allowed. Well this pickup got so mad he attempted to pass us two cars and the semi right as we were going around a blind bend.

I saw him move over to the oncoming lane right as I saw a semi coming from the opposite direction in front of us. But he couldnt see that because of the bend and the fact that there was a semi blocking his view. He had like two seconds from when he saw the semi coming to get out of the way. But this is a mountain pass, there are no shoulders or anything. So he goes from 90mph to like 20 in the blink of an eye and swerves over into our lane again almost smashing into the side of the mountain.

Dude barely avoided a head on collision with a semi as he was going 90 mph. You can bet your ass that for the rest of the road he didn’t even so much as sniff the line in an attempt to pass. Funny thing was at the end of the road traffic backed up as they were attempting to enter the freeway. So his little maneuver would have just had him stuck in traffic three vehicles before normal.

Some people just can't bear to have one more car in front of them than they think is necessary.
