Not as hillarious as your other comics, but incredibly true. Sometimes I wonder if Chico has a law against turn signals.
It's not so bad when they're in the left turn lane, but when they suddenly slow from 55 to 10 in 5 seconds, then jump into the turn lane, stopping me and everyone behind me, it gets a little fucking annoying.
Also, people don't seem to know what that little arrow that points RIGHT means. I sat behind some dumbass for nearly 5 minutes waiting for him to turn. I honked, he flipped me off, then went straight. From the right turn lane.
Then there was the time I was turning left, and had a green light. Some dumbshit just flew right through a Yield sign, damn near slamming into me, and had the nerve to honk at me, as if I was the moron.
Mandatory driving lessons for everyone, fuck. Simple basics, like turn signals, what a YIELD sign means, why you shouldn't drive in fog with your high-beams on, why you shouldn't pass someone going 60 in a 55 zone with a cop behind you (god, that was fucking hillarious.), why tailgating is dangerous (especially at 60mph), and how to GET THE FUCK OVER when someone is trying to merge...
Among other things.
DX, all that you described is exactly what I go through everyday in rush hour traffic...and here I thought it was just a Minnesota thing. Man I swear, no one here knows how to merge either. They're putzing along on the entrance ramp at 30 mph, and expect everyone already on the freeway to just come to a complete stop and let 'em in. I mean, for fucks sake, at least TRY to get up to 45 or 50 mph when your trying to get on the freeway...sheesh.
I saw something similar to your cop story a couple weeks ago...I'm cruising past the Metrodome in downtown Minneapolis...doing about 35 (the usual 5 mph over), and a guy in a Dodge Neon zooms by me. Not more than 10 seconds after he goes past me, a cop turns onto the road and into the lane the Neon was in (right next me), flips on the lights and nails the guy. I laughed the rest of the way to work.
Btw, I know the comic wasn't funny, it wasn't my intention anyways. Twas more of a vent than anything.
