I wish the cop would have torn up that driver's license, issued a ticket, and explained why that driver was a moron.
Since these molasses-like creatures have chosen to "forget" actual driving rules (and basic courtesy), they need to be shown that it isn't their right to add long hours to everyone else's driving time, never mind the cost of health insurance (for aneurisms behind the wheel). I would add more, but in keeping with the spirit of things, I'll keep it G-rated LOL
Now another one is loose again just waiting for the chance to get in front of me 
Left-lane bandits are awful. I sometimes get the feeling that they're preaching to everyone about how we're supposed to be driving at a certain speed. (Paranoia is alive and well in my head, I guess.) I drive the "effective" speed limit --what everyone else is driving. Significantly faster OR significantly slower is dangerous.
Speaking of Boston (ahem), a minor pet peeve is the mindblowing rudeness of Boston drivers (not you, I'm sure!) to drivers in vehicles with Tennessee license plates. I can drive very well/ briskly, thank you very much. It won't kill you --sorry, them --to allow me to merge into traffic. Thanks muchly. 
lol at "SlowPoke McTurtle"

Actually, Hauling, it WILL kill us to let out-of-towners (well, anyone with a pulse, really) merge in front!! My physician has confirmed this as fact, and there was even a memo issued about it 
LOL
Were you using turn signals in your attempts to merge? If yes, that right there was the problem – using turn signals to merge only encourages other drivers to speed up and not let you in (I'm guilty).
You see, a significant number of out-of-towners (not you, of course!) have no idea how driving works. For example, the nanosecond the light turns green, you had better be moving like a bat out of hell – otherwise, a chorus of angry horns, shouts, and one-fingered “welcomes” will deservedly fall upon you. If we let someone in, and horrifically discover we’ve let in "SlowPoke McTurtle-Moron", we have no one to thank for the ensuing torture but ourselves I’ve made this mistake a few times, lesson learned!
I can’t tell you how many out-of-towners I’ve encountered going the wrong way down a one way street (seriously, people?!), driving in two lanes at once while they decide if the upcoming exit is the one they want to take or not, driving WELL under the speed limit, while flashing turn signals left right and center in some demented light show.
I admit some portions of the city were apparently designed by a heavy drug user, but HONESTLY. When I drive and get lost/confused, I PULL OVER so as not to punish everyone behind me - MY problem shouldn't be made THEIR problem. We're not splitting atoms here, it's pretty basic stuff. So why does this concept escape so many people?
I am beginning to understand why my fiance is reading "positive thinking" books when I'm driving LMAO
How about parking lot warfare? btw, Tennesseeans can hold our own in this department.
