Do you get pulled out in front of too??

I can't seem to go a day without driving a safe distance between me and the vehicle in front of me and what do you know from a dead stop someone pulls out in front of me with just enough time for me to slow down so I dont ride up on their ass. I dont know if its the black SS, that they just cant see or what? I do know if I was driving a van or a truck they would think twice!! Just wanted to know if I'm the only one suffering with this problem, oh and post up what kind of balt you drive so we can see if its a coupe thing or not

That happens to me all the time..I usually speed up and do the same to them, or pull up next to them and kindly tell them to not do it again.

Wow, so all of you think that driving faster will discourage stupid people from pulling blindly out in front of you? I like to drive fast, but I also use extra care if there are any side streets to keep an eye out and I always leave myself enough room to stop, you don't know that the other lane will be free, or maybe they'll pull out across both lanes. Don't count on other people's reaction when you drive, make sure you are in control of the situation around you. It has saved me from more than one stupid accident. Not paying attention cost my girl about $4500 in damage to her car a few months back.

I live in Chicago, where driving like an ******* is part of the drivers education course. You either ride the ass of the guy in front of you, or expect someone to pull in to the 15 feet of space between you and the guy you are following. And you never use a turn signal, because that just gives away your plans.

I hate to tailgate though, you never no when someone's played too much grand theft auto and would want to do a Tony Vercetti on you at a traffic light "I NEED THIS MORE THAN YOU"

I guess I'm just getting old since Ive only been a father for little under a year I catch myself doing a lot of things diffrently, one would be the way I drive!! Their are just a few instances when my wife has to work and I have to be Mr.Mom which is cool ladies love to flirt with young guys grocery shopping with a adorable baby girl but, if someone at a light walked up on you and you had your kids in the backseat what would you do? I think it would be hard to control that primal rage, heck Im just pissed someone had the ***** to pull out in front of me! The world we live in is nuts and you can never begin to imagine whats going through people's heads!

Dallas is no different, if your leaving a good car length or two inbetween you and the next car, its almost 100% guaranteed that a bimbo soccer mom in her escalade will cut you off and slam on her breaks.... suv's really **** me off.

One time a dude cut me off soo close he almost clipped my quarter panel, then he tried screwing with me by break checking me cause i was riding his ass letting him know i was pissed. Soooo I followed that guy all the way to the mall, parked a few feet away, and after he had left with his trophy wife and gloated about what an ******* he'd been to me, and how his bigger suv always wins, I casually strolled over to his tahoe and accidently let the air out of all of his tires... and his spare he had on the back....

BURN!!!!!!!!! What mall was it? Adding to the thread... I hate when I'm goin like 75 or 80 and some goober decides to get into my free and clear lane to go just as fast as the guy in the lane next to him, WTF! If you change lanes I'd imagine you want to go faster, but noooooo he (more than usual a she) chooses to get in my free and clear lane to go the speed limit, c'mon, what the hell. Also, if you wanna go speed limit stay the **** out of the outer left lane!

Eh... I live in Charlotte... home of NASCAR... and everyone thinks they are Jeff Gordon. If there's a carlength space infront of me... someone's gonna try to pull in it. And turn signals? They may-as-well be christmas lights.

I never really had this problem in my F-150, but I do have it in my Cobalt. I think it is just the small size of the car...and you guys are right, it is never a little Echo or Geo doing this, it is almost always a SUV or Van
