People in Oklahoma do not know how to drive on the Interstate.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

So I was coming back from El Reno tonight, and it all started as I was on the Entrance Ramp. Jesus Christ people, the whole reason for an entrance ramp is so you can get up to speed before getting onto the Interstate. SPEED UP!! The woman in front of me was going 35. And then she got onto the Interstate. I had to pass her. I was only going 55 when I passed her.
Next, we have the idiots that go under 70 in the fast lane. The fast lane is there for people to pass. If you're passing someone, the least you could do is get up to 70 before getting into the passing lane. Stupid dipshits.
Thanks for the rant.

1. It is because your HiPo

are CRAZY! The ONLY time I have ever been pulled over on the highway was in Oklahoma. We would drive through and everytime we hit the border we would remember to slow down until we hit Texas.

2. I go 75 all the time.

Not 70, not 73, 75. I've never been stopped. I'm sorry you've had a bad experience. Stay off I 35. I drive I 40.

3. It is always on

35. Seriously, they just watch for a mile or two over just to hassle you. They pulled my grandmother over once after she was passed (the passer got by without notice), she was going less than 5 miles an hour over. This was many years ago but because of this and many other episodes it is now family lore to drive slowly in Oklahoma. :hi:

4. I apologize for my fellow Oklahomans.

It think it has something to do with the fact that you're from out of state. They love to fuck with out of staters.

7. No need!

I was not being crabby, I hope I did not sound that way. I have had some fun in Oklahoma, used to attend symposiums at OU every summer and had a terrific time.

9. I know...I was just being silly.

:silly:

5. There are people like that everywhere...

They are known as Bush voters, and sometimes they love to travel in packs where they are all bunched together with plenty of open road ahead of them.

6. Not just there!

I live very close to one of Melbourne's major freeways, so I use this freeway a lot. Sure enough at least twice a week I will come behind someone who just doesn't speed up to get on the damn freeway. And sure enough, I am the one who ends up having to stop because of on coming traffic.

10. That's because...

..y'all driving on the fuckin' WRONG side of the road, baby! :evilgrin:

[foreigncorrespondent]

11. Well honey!

If I began driving on the other side of the road to suit you, we would end up in a fucking head on accident. LOL

On edit: I made a boo boo. LOL

14. Sweetheart, darlin', love of my life.....

...EVERYONE is SUPPOSED to do EVERYTHING in order to suit us Yanks! ;)

Uh... aren't they?

Sign me,

Oops, Sorry, Got Temporariy Sucked Into American Imperialism Assholism for a Moment There, Can You Ever Forgive Me???

P.S. Just drive on the CORRECT side of the road and not down the bloody MIDDLE when you're behind the wheel of my Honda in the U.S., and I'll promise not to scrape your Toyota through the gum trees and mow down unsuspecting wombats when you let me take it through the bush, 'k?

P.P.S. I solemnly swear to learn to negotiate roundabouts if you promise to learn to negotiate four-way stops.

:evilgrin:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

15. Now that you mention 4 Way Stops....

They're not hard, I don't understand why people don't get them...Jesus Christ, that drives me insane. I've started pointing at people when it's their turns. LOL

16. ROFLMAO!

I didn't think you had seen this before heading off ot bed. LOL My mistake!

...EVERYONE is SUPPOSED to do EVERYTHING in order to suit us Yanks! ;)

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! That's right! Can you ever forgive ME for making such a silly mistake and forgetting that rule? ;)

Oops, Sorry, Got Temporariy Sucked Into American Imperialism Assholism for a Moment There, Can You Ever Forgive Me???

In a few short weeks you will be here and I am sure I can keep you amused to no end, so you don't get sucked into Into American Imperialism Assholism again. :)

Ohhhhhhh! So now the truth comes out, huh? ;) You decided to go bush in the Toyota just to get me back for my driving in the U.S. huh? Hmmmmmmm! ;)

I am gonna hate to see what you got planned forme after my leaving you with that red belly black snake in the middle of nowhere. ;)

P.P.S. I solemnly swear to learn to negotiate roundabouts if you promise to learn to negotiate four-way stops.

Not on your sweet nelly! ;)

:evilgrin: indeed!

8. Good points

But what I really hate are speeders. They scare me. Like when I'm in the far left lane and I'm going the speed limit, some road rager gets on my ass because he wants to go 15 miles over the speed limit. I hate that!

12. You're not supposed to drive in the left lane save for passing

Why is this such a difficult concept for some people?

[GCP]

13. Hint, the left lane is for passing then you go in again

Puleeze, get out of the friggin' left lane if you're going slower than everybody else.
If you were in Germany they'd practically mow you down if you were doing that.
