I don't know whether to say your traffic experiences are funny or tragic.....well they're entertaining to say the least!
That's crazy that the soccer mom was so possesive over her lane for no good reason. I guess since she probably didn't have her kids to yell at in back she had to take out her anger on someone. Either that or she wants to be a prime example of natural selection by ramming herself into something.
As for the ricer, i've had a fart canned prelude next to me (i was behind 2 cars IMMEDIATELY in front of me in 30 mph on freeway traffic) and he decided to cut off the van in front of me and cruise down the carpool lane (accelerating for a ricer is a "cruise" for most vehicles) for no apparent reason to give himself another mustang "kill".
Some people should chill out on the road, it's getting to where everyone's a street racer! As you stated, the best place for being fast and furious is in slow moving traffic
