Not all Vibe Drivers are Good Drivers

Sorry got to rant..This morning on the way home from the gym I'm in the left lane of a 4 lane road (2 lanes in each direction). 3 cars ahead of me a vehicle is turning left, the car directly in front of me is a 03-04 Vibe, and there is only 1 car behind me (a Newer Grand Prix) I signal to change lanes, I look behind me and watch my blind spot and see the Grand Prix changing lanes, so I wait (blinker still on) he get's somewhat by me, and then I move over, as I'm about to pass the Vibe she decides to move over (NO BLINKER) and TOTALLY cuts me off. I have little tolerence for morons that just change lanes without looking... if she would have looked in the rear view, she would have seen my blinker on... if she would have looked in her blind spot she would have seen me in the other lane... needless to say, I hit the brakes and as soon as she moved to the other lane I flew by her, debating on if I should do anything (finger) and decide it's not worth it so I get in front of her and that's basically it. I know this happens quite a bit.. and usually it wouldn't make me too mad, because they simply didn't look in their blind spot... this one makes me mad because it wasn't like I appeared out of nowhere... I was behind her for a good couple of blocks so if you were paying any attention to your surroundings you would have known there was a car behind you... and she ALMOST hit me, we're talking REALLY close (and she was oblivious, no idea she almost got hit because of her stupidity) If I would have been on my bike, I would have punched her window hoping to break it to let her know she almost killed someone today.

We ALL know that there is no such thing as a good driver. There's just me, and everyone else.

These type of people really need to be re-educated on how to drive. I've found getting P.O'd at them doesn't help the situation because 9 times out of 10 they don't even know what they were doing wrong... so if you flip them off and start yelling at them they think you're the 'explicit' moron. If you try to calmly explain it to them then they are like, oh really, sorry about that... but it doesn't fix the issue because the only way they are going to learn is if they get a ticket, or have an accident because of it.

i'd prefer to have a vibe almost hit me and not an 18 wheeler. i was going on a toll road and i needed to exit shortly after the toll so i didn't take the express lanes on the far left, i went to the right by the manual lanes. on our toll road the express lanes are separated from the manual lanes buy some concrete, grass, and a lot of space. in the manual lanes from left to right there was another express lane (intended for people going to the exit and trucks), a few of the coin operated booths, and then a few of the booths with the person inside. i was in the express and i was going about 25-35 though the booth and there was a truck all the way over on the right already on the other side of the booth. at this point i didn't see him because he was a few lanes away from me an on the other side of booth(already paid). as i started to accelerate out of the booth i now see the truck on the far right side. i see him and proceed to accelerate as he is not going to merge with me in any way. i figure that after all the booth lanes merge back together he'd be in the right lane and i'll be in the left lane and i'll be fine to pass him. i was wrong. at about the mid way of all the merging he decides to merge all the way over to the left. no turn signal. i press by brakes hard and then move over into the emergency lane to avoid being hit. i see into the truck's side mirror him looking like, ;pfft. what ever.; i was pissed. never been almost hit by a truck before. they are usually very good drivers and i try and watch them before i try and pass them, as in i'll stay back a bit and watch in their mirrors if the driver is looking to merge or if there are turn signals on. this guy was a few lanes over and without turn signals tries to merge into me.
