Here is one from the cage side of the spectrum. About 6 or 7 years ago I was hauling a couple horses with my dually and we were stuck in very slow traffic on a two lane road caught behind a lettuce truck (Prunedale grade on 101 for the local guys). Anyway this sport bike was being a real ***** because my trailer was too wide for him to split lanes and I had nowhere to move so I kept on driving...anyway he kept hitting the revvy and driving my horses nuts until one of the horses decided to take revenge and ****. I didn't have shavings in the trailer and it was a mare in heat and when they **** they ****...he got soaked with horse **** and that mademy day. When the traffic opened up he rode on the side of my truck and tried to grab my mirror, gave me the finger, yadda yadda yadda...the kewl thing was after I put the horses up, I decided to take the bike for a ride and ran into him at Starbucks complaining how some a$$hole was being a *****...I let him gor for a minute before I told him it was me...Now that was fun...

Saab ahead of me is driving slow and weaving in her lane.I want to pass but,I'm thinking she might tap me into oncoming traffic.Finally I'd had enough and went for the pass .I get along side of her and see why shes weaving,shes talking on her cell and eating an ice cream cone while steering with her knees.She gives me a dirty look and rolls the window up the rest of the way like she can't hear her phone now.Cars are stacking up behind her.What an *******.

Morning cager with the newspaper on the steering wheel, talking on his cell. Paper was on the wheel because he was doing the freakin crossword puzzle. Let's see, 5 letter word, starts with "M", means stupid person........

A guy ran right out in front of me to grab a turtle on a two lane highway. A woman was using what appeared to be a blow dryer while swerving across both lanes on a two lane highway while about four kids jumped around in her van. and many other less interesting situations.

I wanted to let you know the turtle was fine, just little slow.

Not sure but I believe the MINIMUM speed has to be posted to be a ticketable offense......drivers can be pulled over for driving unusually slow.... they are usually elderly ,looking at something that other drivers dont see/arent interested in, or drunk....but the slow speed isnt 'ticketable'....:>)

Not in FL, I just wish they would enforce it more often.
316.183 Unlawful speed.--
(5) No person shall drive a motor vehicle at such a slow speed as to impede or block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic, except when reduced speed is necessary for safe operation or in compliance with law.

Saw a group of sportbike riders that gave the saying "ride it like you stole it" a whole new meaning. In a changing 45-55 mph zone, they have to be doing 100+.
