So there's 2 minivan's in the right hand lane going 60. I'm coming up in the left lane going about 70, when the back minivan see's me coming (and everyone has experienced this where you know DAMN WELL the person sees you coming and purposly pulls into your lane) and pulls in to my lane, and goes just a bit faster than the other minivan, but not enough that she'll ever actually get ahead of the slower minivan. So while the limit is 60, I kept my cool, riding her bumper so she would know that she's pissing me off and would hopefully get out of the way. So then it turns to 100, and they both start inching up their speed at the same god damn time, and after 3 friggen minutes they've both managed to get up to 80, and I just lost it, I blew by her on the shoulder and gave my car a little lurch towards hers (it wasn't as dangerous as it sounds) and then drove about 150 until I reached the city limits, and felt much better. Man I hate pokey drivers that don't know how to get the hell out of the fast lane. It's not your lane damnit!

Try highway 2A into High River at the Aldersyde turnoff. Between the truckers and drivers poking along you get people doing unsafe passing. One driver last monday tried to pass but failed to notice the cattle liner coming the other way. Said driver forced everyone to slam on their brakes so he could get in and not get hit head on.
