So I was driving home from the store today following a person in a highlander on a road that was well plowed with some small drifts this person was driving down the middle and sometimes down the other side of the road, and they didn't have their headlights on either. I honked and flashed this person several times,hoping they might get a clue. Finally they turned off on my street and pulled into a driveway. I proceeded to my house and started to eat my lunch, then my doorbell rings. I answered the door and this chick is asking me if I drive a blue car, I say yes. She asks me why I was honking and I tell her that generally it works better for other drivers if they have roadway to drive on when they are oncoming to her, and that it will save her having to change lane when she comes upon another driver. Then the person still ian the cat asks why i honk at her son? My response is what was he doing at the time? She yells something about honking naot being neighborly. Then the lady that was to lazy to get out of the drivers seat of the highlander yells to me that I am harassing their family. Told her to call the police and report it. Why in Minnesota don't people think about what they are doing when someone honks at them? I guess it is obvious that i intend to harass their family and have on concern for mysel and others othe road wi them in the path of their careless driving!
no headlights in this weather makes me an angry person! You flash your lights and they just glare at you like they have no clue why you just flashed your lights at them!
If it were me, I would just pass the person then continue to blind them with snow dust...hence they wouldnt be able to see.That would probably remind them to turn their lights on...however, being an suv could have more visual advantage.
apparently me, I should have checked this for spelling, it was interresting to me that the (large) lady was unable to exit her car. I am sure she was exausted after she yelled that far and probably had to rest in her highlander for a while before she went into her house. What really strikes me about these people and quite a few others that I encountered yesterday, is that people in general conduct themselves in a way that makes me think that they are unaware of anybody else on the road, or in the world in general.
when i was growing up, one of our neighbors got mad at me cause the snow blower i was using was throwing a little dust on his driveway. He came over and was just irrate at me. I went inside and my dad asked what that was about, and i told him. So dad and I kindly in the middle of the night cleared a fair amount of the snow off his yard and placed it in the drive way. Mom said that was not being Minnesota Nice. Dad replied "that cause im from Indiana"
people like to birtch bout little things, and its not that everyone who doesnt have a subie sucks at driving its just that people who dont seem to have an interest in the automotive world doesnt care to pay attention to what is going on, i dont think you can go on any car forum without seeing someone annoyed with anothers driving
