Stupid Prius Driver

As I am slowly accelerating, I notice the Prius driver has become stuck behind cars up ahead, and I soon catch up. The road diverges and the other cars go to the left, while the Prius and I go to the right. Oddly as heck, the Prius driver takes the outside lane on the freeway clover that goes to the right. Without trying to, with my car being in the inside lane, I slowly pass the Prius. As the curve ends and the road straightens out, sure enough, the Prius driver is on my bumper again. Same thing happens again... the Prius shoots around me when there is clearly thick traffic ahead, and then the Prius is blocked by traffic and I'm soon driving side-by-side them again.

Street racing is not advisable.

I wonder if that was done in electric mode.

The train? ... or the car.

Seems to be a minority of us who just can't keep away from our big hybrid brothers ... the locomotives:

Seems to have CA HOV stickers. Man ... that just stupid.

Edit: Read up on this one. San Francisco ~ 2007 (shaking head)

Not faked. Happens all the time. I've seen programs commenting on how people take their lives in their hands at rail crossings' with video. This was Europe. If that train had hit the car not only would the driver have been killed, but probably many on the train as well. It was a "high speed" train. But not the "Grande Vitese" in France. No crossings on that one, just overpasses (because the engineers knew people are stupid and would pull that). This one was probably "only" 200 km/hr.

I still wonder how we have managed to "cover the earth". We're so stupid!!
