So what started the idea of this site and the whole premis behind it? Something that annoys the absolute hell out of me! I know…big surprise given the domain name.
So I am driving down 400 south this morning and I come across that typical sideways driver. What is a sideways driver you might ask? They are one of the most annoying creatures on the planet when you are driving in periods of high traffic.
A sideways driver pays more attention to the drivers next to them…instead of the ones in front of them! These drivers are those ignorant, unaware drivers that insist on going the same speed as the car next to them in traffic completely unaware of what they are creating by leaving a gigantic gap in their lane.
So what is the end result? You get this unaware driver in the far left lane not paying attention to what is going on around them. The space between their car and the one in front of them continues to grow. You then change lanes and maneuver your way around so that you can pass this selfishness and what do you get for your trouble? A dirty look from the driver that wasn’t paying attention to begin with!!!
As others find your infinite passing wisdom as a great idea, they are now darting to the right as well causing even more of a mess. It is pure road hazard craziness as the driver who started it all goes on oblivious!
If traffic is really bad, you have everyone in the world inching forward to get in front of this super intellect putting you further and further down the line.
So what should we do to punish this kind of road behavior?
I think we should be permitted to bump draft and inact a rule where they should be put into the wall. It’s time to bring back old school Nascar racing. Bump drafting would speed the whole line up and slamming their oblivious ass into the wall would prevent future behavior. What do you think?
I think all cars should come equipped with paintball guns in the grill – a la 007 style. Cops then keep a really close eye on the ones with paintballs splattered all across the tailgate….

They generally have one finger extended too.
Or there is the ever popular flashing of the high beams and horn honk! Followed by a lane change…
Not to mention the fact that idiots like that multiply by the hundreds when it rains. People just flat out forget how to drive when it rains, combine those idiots with sideways drivers and you’ve got a formula for interstate chaos.
I got behind a sideways driver yesterday, also on 400… Doing 60 in the left lane, keeping pace with the car next to her. I kid you not, there was a line of 12 cars all behind her and not a soul in front of her. Completely. Oblivious.
Bumping idea? Very cool.
@Michael
400 has some of the worst…but 285 takes the cake I think. Every city in the world has them I am sure…but Atlanta drivers have to be on some sort of top 10 list.
