Ahh- Poor babies. Beltway drivers have no patience for fools and idiots that keep them on that cursed highway anymore than they have to be.
Thats because many of the vehicles sharing the freeway with the so-called Peoples Convoy protesters are showing disdain for the groups willingness to tie up traffic over vaccine mandates that are either already gone or phasing out by flipping the bird at the participating trucks.
The Daily Beasts Zachary Petrizzo interviewed one trucker who wasnt thrilled by the reactions of other drivers.
We go around the Beltway, birds are flying. Birds are flying everywhere. Thats the kind of people that live up there, the unidentified protester said.

(82,849 posts)You know, like "What Part of 'Love One Another' Don't You Understand" - God, or "When Jesus Said 'Love Your Enemies,' I Think He Probably Meant Don't Kill Them." Getting flipped off is probably the mildest response you'll evoke.

(86,041 posts)I'd get in my car and get in front of those assholes and just fucking stop right in front of them every half mile or so for a few miles, wait a few minutes and do it all over again and recruit others to do the same. Just get in front of them and come to a complete stop, force your way in between them at exit ramps so they have to let you in, then just stop in front of them.
Shitheads in LA, looking for a big fat lawsuit payout, would do that to semis going full speed on the freeways. If you rear-end anyone on a CA freeway while operating a commercial vehicle, it's a hangin' offense, end of career and the asshole gets a big settlement.

(10,350 posts)He was driving to and from a doctor's appointment in Silver Spring and had to drive the Beltway. Even though FluTruxKlan was on the opposite loop, the drivers on his side were slowing down to watch the show. And probably flipping them off, too.
