Had to go to the mall today

[Exterous]

to pick up some items I ordered from Sears. I was only driving around the mall for 5 minutes max yet almost got hit by no less than 3 female drivers. The first blew through a stop sign. The second came barreling around a corner and almost hit me as I was leaving my parking spot.

I reached the edge of the mall and to, what I though, was safety. The exit was a two lane, right turn only exit. I was in the far left lane. The woman to my right and I both turned right at the same time. Apparently she thought both of our cars would fit in the far left lane we were turning onto as she drove into my lane cutting me off and coming within inches of my car.

Here's a really bad MS paint about the whole thing

bro story cool!

Cliffs:
The womenz tried to kill me

didnt even read the story but the image owns.

 

[vi edit]

I see part of the problem. The woman in the bottom right is driving a right hand drive car.

I had the exact same experience with two left turn lanes yesterday. The old gentleman in the left lane turned and merged in the my right lane at the same time as we made the turn. Seemed truly surprised when I gave him a honk to let him know I was there and that he had cut me off.

I've really come to hate those double turn lanes. It seems like it's a coin toss whether someone will come into my lane, or not :^/

Double turns lanes are far too complicated for the average American to understand.

Why is it that when someone cuts you off, they give you the finger? Are they that retarded to not know that they are in the wrong?

Yes

Oddly enough I had issues at the mall yesterday too. With a woman driver.

It was a four way stop with my leg of the stop having a divider between the lanes. The person to my right turned into my lane (the "out" side) and almost crashed into me head on before she realized she needed to slam on the brakes, put it in reverse, and then go on the other side of the divider.

Yes.

Same reason people get mad at me when I get to a 4-way stop well before them but they just kind of coast on through and have to slam on the brakes when I take my turn at the right time.

I am pretty sure 90% of the laws regarding driving are too complicated for the average American to understand

I don't know if this has been answered yet but: Yes

This is the reason I hate going to most big box retailers -- especially Wal-Mart. That one is the worst.

Walmart parking lots confuse me. Their layout defies explanation. I've been meaning to look at one on GoogleEarth, but haven't gotten around to it. Maybe seeing the layout from above would make more sense :^/

who the hell buys a silver lambo though?

I know if I'm driving a B class and above vehicle, I'm suppose to take the outside lane. However, when there are people present who can't keep it in their lane, I usually take the inside lane so they don't do a wide turn and get into my lane.

Hey - it's my old, beater car! I'll probably get rid of it soon as its getting a tad high on the miles. Its almost over 9,000!

Never trust other drivers in double turn lanes. I am either 50% of a car length in front of them (so they can see me) or nowhere near them. Too many dipshits on the road that don't know the proper lane to turn into. God forbid it's two turning lanes going into a 4 lane road, who knows what fucking lane they'll pick to drive into.

And assholes that cut you off give you the finger because they can't fathom being in the wrong. Most people also seem to think they know what "Right of Way" is and the rules of the road, when it's quite clear that they do not.

Also, woman driver at the mall not see you? Maybe it's because they are drinking their latte while on the phone, doing their makeup, playing with the radio, admiring their new shoes, and menstrating. Talk about a cesspool of inattentive drivers... You might as well just put a sledgehammer to the side of your car if you go there during the weekday.
