Driving

Seriously, is it necessary to exit the parking deck in such a hurry that you drive 25mph?!

Even though there are no lines marking lanes, you still don't have permission to haul ass in or out of the deck while driving straight down the middle.

If you can not maneuver your car around a turn without taking up half of someone else's lane, you shouldn't be allowed to drive. This is especially true if you are a dumb college student who drives a gigantic SUV. Not only should you not have that because you can't drive, but also because you're not a soccer mom.

If you're driving so fast that when turning a corner and seeing that there is in fact a car coming the other way (should that be a shock?), that you need to slam on your brakes and shift into your lane...you are in fact an asshole.

Last time I checked there isn't a "Fast and the Furious: Hull Deck." Parking spots will still be there if you slow the down.

Every day I see cars displaying Georgia "Educator" License Plates, who are speeding or driving inappropriately in parking lots, etc. I'm not sying everyone who has one of these on their car engages in this, but it certainly is something to take notice of, if you are first off, spending extra money on a license plate to let everyone know you are a teacher, and then flaunting the traffic laws for everyone to see.
Today on the Loop I was passed by one inside a construction zone, going about 85mph in a 45mph zone w/ orange barrels on both sides of the road. Way to set a great example everyone, douche-bag.

Where did you rednecks learn how to drive? I cannot believe the number of people around here who think it's ok to drive 35-40 mph through a PARKING LOT. An underground parking lot at a hospital no less!! Pedestrians and patients everywhere, you with a cellphone glued to your ear oblivious to everyone and everything around you. Selfish and self-centered behavior seems to be the norm these days. Let me ask this, how would you feel if someone came barreling through your neighborhood going 50-60mph while YOUR children were playing outside? It would and does piss me off! I guess when YOU are behind the wheel it's a different story though , huh?

Dear SUV driver who decided that was swerving around before turning straight into my lane when you were exactly beside me so that you could go to Checkers:

I hope you enjoyed your Checkers. I also hope that you die. You're lucky that I actually didn't decide to drink before driving, unlike you. Otherwise you would have hit my car and had to pay more in insurance premiums as well as have a DUI on your record. Though I'm sure someone as irresponsible as you already has at least one DUI and probably no insurance. Once again, I hope you die.

Sincerely,

Humanity

How about checking to see if no one is in the next lane before you dice your car over? Oh, and get off the g0dd@mn phone while your at it. Idiot.

I get so f*cking frustrated every time I am on Lumpkin crossing Broad Street because some idiot decides to sneak over to the right hand turn lane to bypass everyone in the straight/left turn lane so they can go straight across! The RIGHT arrow is there for a reason!
I especially hate it when I have to shift lanes and turn right onto Clayton because there is some jerk in the lane who ISN'T SUPPOSED TO BE THERE. Waiting a few seconds behind the rest of us in the CORRECT lane won't kill you.

I hate to put yet another vent about the terrible drivers around here on this site, but I passed no less than 3 wrecks TODAY on the way to school and back - one of which was in the parking lot of my apartment complex. Seriously, Athens, this is getting old. Because one day, it'll probably be my car that gets hit, and even if it isn't, traffic sucks enough around here without having to crawl past wreck after wreck everytime I try to go somewhere. So maybe it's selfish, but can you PLEASE watch what the hell you're doing when you drive?

To the Motherf*cking CockSucker who hit my car and decided to not leave their information... fuck you. Fuck you Very Much.

Seriously, its a PARKING LOT.

While people who design and plan parking lots are probably not Noble Prize winners, they probably put those lanes in for a reason.

Don't just blow through a parking lot driving any goddamn which way you want to and then flip out when you almost hit someone.

Seriously the only reason I hit the brakes and didn't cash in on your inability to drive is the fact that I had been working my shitty job all day while you were out shopping and I couldn't stand the thought of dealing with a freaked out freshman who just caused an accident.

Please, just stop and look.

Also, if this pertains to you, you should probably learn how to deal with a 4 way stop as well.

LEARN TO CHANGE LANES! PERHAPS LOOKING WOULD BE HELPFUL. COULD HAVE KILLED ME, MY DOG, AND YOURSELF. LEARN TO DRIVE!
