 Which annoys you more?« »

A person driving a fast car extraordinarily slow... like, slower that the flow of traffic, driving like a timid schmuck... Or, someone attempting to drive an otherwise slow turd at warp 9, tearing through traffic like their ass was on fire?

We've all seen them. The old lady in an E63 AMG doing 10 below the speed limit in the left lane with her turn signal on, and the tool in an 89 Dodge Colt with a donut spare and a fart can, playing real life Grand Theft Auto and having to be in front of everybody.


What say you?

Slow cars being driven like fast cars.

I hate how everyone in NYC that owns a Corolla thinks that its a race car or that they are running from the po-po.

Somebody driving a fast car slow likely won't cause an accident or otherwise endanger other drivers.

slow car fast.
a lot of those people in my experience look like wankers that dont really care much if they hurt somebody, and probably dont have the skills to keep uo with their insane driving.

What really annoys me is people that are doing 10 below on a 1 lane and you get semi close and they want to show you a "lesson" by slowing way down.

Definitely going with the slow car going fast. A fast car going slow allows me to get a longer look at it.

I'm just happy when the cars around me remain "wreckless." When they start wrecking, everything gets hairy.

AGREED!
but given the options, I really hate to see 100hp ricers with giant wings and bodykits trying to weave through traffic at 95mph.

Exactly...I don't drive with the intention of watching others for entertainment. If everyone were overcautious, I'd be thrilled!

I don't give a damn about fast people... they are gone and done with... and I laugh when they get a ticket 10 mins later.

But slow drivers are just the pure cause of congestion... I want them banned from the roads.

Idiots weaving through traffic also cause congestion, as when they weave, and someone slams on the brakes, it causes a chain reaction.

I don't know how it is where you are but I can tell you that the vast majority of highway jackassery I witness largely goes unpunished.

We have no "wrecks" here in NJ -- we have "accidents" or "crashes" instead -- thus there is no such thing as "wreckless" driving around here.

Gotta say somene driving a fast car (corvettes never go more than 35 mph) really slow is more "annoying", but anybody driving any car recklessly fast is just plane ... well reckless. Voted for the fast car driven slow.
