Which type of Bay Area driver is actually the worst?
To me, the absolute worst is the person camping in the left lane going 60 mph, but the second you try to pass them, they suddenly find their gas pedal and speed up to 85.
I don't understand the logic behind it. Just this week, I was on 237 behind a Honda Civic driving like a zombie at 45 mph. The moment I tried to pass, he suddenly sped up to block me. I managed to cut him off, and then he lost it, honking at me all the way to 880. He didn’t even stop at the highway metering lights just so he could catch up and give me the finger.
It’s like they’re asleep at the wheel until they feel "challenged," and then suddenly it’s a high stakes race until you're back behind them. Then, like clockwork, they usually slow right back down to a crawl.
Between the 101, 880, 280 and 237, there’s a lot of competition for the "Worst Driver" title, but this specific brand of gatekeeping drives me insane.
