go on and hit me or morons on parade?
for the 3rd time since I have had my IS I have nearly been run into by drivers not signalling lane changes RIGHT NEXT TO ME on the road. the first time I wrote it off to the drivers stupidity of not signalling or looking to his left. the 2nd time was today in central connecticut when some douche in an older van with tennesee plates with less than 2 car lengths between the car in front of me and myself on the highway just veered into my lane from the right. nice puerto rican flag buddy [ it was hanging from his rear view mirror which apparently he thinks is just a hanger mang]. YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION. then less than an hour later on state route 291 a woman who was tailgating someone for no apparent reason aside from being a moron decided to veer right, right into my lane. I blasted the horn and she just about rolled it getting back into her lane and then made some exasperated gesture to herself. it turns out that she wasnt going to stay in the lane if she HAD made it because there was a sign for an exit SHE WASNT taking.
are our cars so small in profile that they cannot be seen by other drivers diagonally in front of them? rolling blind spots as it were? or are there a lot of morons on the road who should be eradicated by a massive pile-up involving only them? ARRGH.

It's Murphy's Law.
Two-weeks after my girlfriend got her IS 250, an equally brand-new black Mercedes smashed into the driver's side rear quarter-panel when attempting to do a 3-point turn on a narrow street. It was her first accident in 14 years... and she wasn't even inside the vehicle. (The IS 250 was parked).
Cheers,
Kermee

It's not the 2IS, it's just that 85% of drivers are total idiots. Happens to me almost every day.
Like the moron in the Ford Exploder who came over into my lane- I was in a double-lane right turn lane, I was in the left-most of the right turn lanes, she was in the far right. As we made the right, she just drifted over into my lane. No clue. Complete friggin' morons, I tell you. It's all I can do not to punch people every day.

Hang up and drive!

I had to slam on the brakes so I won't hit him on the side and was hoping nobody would rear-end me.Too many stupid nowadays
Thankfully I had the radio on and just ignored him (and all other idiot drivers out there) because I see it on a daily basis-desensitized
In summary to digital_b, no it's not you or your IS
And yes, HANG UP AND DRIVE!!!!!
