GGMama, I agree! It is nice to have somebody appreciate your efforts.
God, I love this community!
Watchful, I have a neighbor who is a pretty intimidating looking guy and he doesn't hesitate to yell at the knuckleheads as they drive toooooo fast. Always seems to work.
So that was YOU Gorn! You're welcome, and thank YOU!
I really don't know why but it IS nice to see those flashers when you go to the effort to pull over for someone. Such a small thing to do to acknowledge another's efforts, and such a small way to let someone know you appreciate that effort.
I have tried to get a direct number out of the folks at the Spectrum store before, and they claim it's not possible.
Speaking of Lakeview Dr., though, it’s not the cars that bother me as much as the bikes, runners, and walkers traveling against the flow of traffic. I don’t need coffee in the morning after nearly committing vehicular homicide coming around one of those blind corners. 😂
After reading your comments, I now know who some of you are.
You are the ones who: -use your emergency flashers as a thank-you when I pull over to let you pass -know how to use not only marked turnouts but also other open paved areas to pull over -keep the right if you are the slower traffic -keep on your side of the double yellow -flash your lights at me as I’m approaching an accident, or some other danger in my lane
Well stated, Bearable. Even within the valley, locals have adopted the "hurry up!" city mindset. The other day I was on Lakeview Drive (a hilly neighborhood street with lots of blind curves) and was aggressively tailgate by a GARDEN TRUCK. Even gardeners have forgotten how to relax!
Regarding .mountain driving, 38 is not a racetrack. Its a beautiful drive. 5 less minutes down to Mentone or up to Big Bear doesn’t have to be a high pressure trip.
To get overly pissed at someone who is not squealing wheels is silly and rude.
Reminds me of my first weekend back in 88. Letter to Editor explaining to readers that when the headlights are in your backseat its time to pull over. Struck me as funny as a flatlander. Now im just glad I dont have to make that trip very often these days. Stay dry everyone. Im wondering if i need to break out the floaties for the Bark Squad again 🫤
So many ways to mess up my drive... New driver Overwhelmed On the phone Unaware of turnouts Unaware of traffic laws Sightseer Terrified of mountain roads Rude inconsiderate #%#%! Egomaniac (NOBODY gets in front of ME!). Slow vehicle doesn't want to lose momentum Brainless
MistakenID Ifeel your pain. We’ve been driving down two or three times a week for my husband’s physical therapy, and I cannot believe the idiots that think they are entitled to go as slow as they want and pass up every turn off there is. It drives me nuts and I know it raises my blood pressure! We came up yesterday morning about 10 following five Big buses and they didn’t pull off till almost the upper passing. How rude! I am going to report them. I just forgot about it until now! Have a nice night.
