Poopiehead Rider
On my way into work this morning, there was a guy on a motorcycle going far faster than traffic, squeezing between cars at 80 MPH, and weaving back and forth through lanes. I watched as one of his sudden weaves scared the wits out of a cager, who reacted by swerving into the adjacent lane. Fortunately, the lane was unoccupied.
To the idiot on the motorcycle: I have no problem with your desire to extinguish yourself, but don't disturb the lives of others in the process. Also, when you ride like a jerk and piss off the cagers, you're making the roads more dangerous for other motorcyclists.
I say that because I saw a motorcycle in my rear view soon after the spooked cager swerving incident, and my first thought was, "Oh no, not another dick on a bike."
Wait a minute, I ride one of those too.
Maybe his other vehicle is a black Range Rover.

Here's my dumb driver of the day story....
I was on 101 north in the slow lane behind a Rav 4 (or Rav 4 like car). A white biggish sedan passes me in the next lane and then proceeds to pull up even with the car ahead of me. Now although the Rav 4 is a *small* suv, it still is rather tall. So the white car proceeds to merge right into the lane with the Rav 4. What a dummy...I mean the white car just passed me and pulled up next to the Rav 4...it's not like the Rav 4 was in its blind spot or something.
I slowed when I saw the white car getting suspiciously near the lane dividers. The Rav 4 noticed a second after and pulled to the right and slowed down. The white car, after getting its tires in the lane with the Rav 4, finally notices the car, pulls to the left, accelerates a little and then continues to merge in front of the Rav 4.

Maybe the Rav 4 was in invisible mode. I hate when I turn that on and forget. Maybe that's what I did on Sunday, since my car in plain old visible mode is pull me over noticable.
