Glad I'm not the only one who is getting cut off regularly! That never happened much in my E-250 Super Duty !!

I swear I have sign on the front of the TC that says 'pull out in front of me' when I am 4-5 cars length from them or pull in front and stop or turn within a few feet. The other I get here in Florida is the tailgaters that want me to go faster and move over when I am already doing 10 over the limit and passing other people. I used to slow down just to tick them off but with all the road rage there is now a days unless I am carrying one of my guns I don't do that anymore. I just stay at the speed I am doing and let them go around me on the right if they can. I swear its like the Indy 500 or some other race even on the city streets.

I did mount that Hella Triple Tone air horn. It helps (somewhat) in at least letting people know you didn't like that maneuver they pulled on you. Doesn't prevent it, though.

I have a theory that generations of kids raised on video games (I'm one of them myself) now treat the roadways like the roads in a video game. There are no consequences, and as long as they don't actually have reality come crashing in on them, they continue to think they can drive like they do. To them, a Transit Connect is just one of those vehicles plodding slowly along that you swerve around in the video game because it's in the way of accomplishing your objective. I'm serious, I really think that while people may not be actively thinking like that, it is happening on a subconscious level.

Also, I totally agree that the hood of my van apparently does not read "Gaggenau" but "cut me off, please" and that you can be bouncing off the speed limiter and someone is still trying to get around you. My other theory is that cargo vans, the ones with NO windows, that is, seem to irritate people because they can't see through them. But rather than be polite and simply change lanes, they just tailgate you in the hopes that you will move over. I dunno... these are things I pontificate on as the crazies swerve all around me each work day. :rant2:
