I just came up to get some things from my new apt in Incline since I am dog sitting for my parents this weekend. I have had some bad days on this road, but this takes the cake.
1.EVERYONE (besides me of course) was doing 15 over in the 4 lane part from the gas station till it merges to 1 lane each way.
2.A freaking Camry loaded with people and bikes trys to fly by me right near the merge, I will admit I did hit 70 real quick since they swerved near me and I already ahead, so braking may have been worse.
3.A Ford Freestyle I may have seen before is doing about 45, then a older acura,new jeep and then me, then 3 other cars. Its bad enough the Ford is doing 45, but why oh why Mr.Acura why do you need to keep 10+ car lengths away and do even slower. You yourself should have a used one of the many turn-outs the great state of NV provides, especially when a Jeep is inches from your rear bumper. You should have also gotten the hint when the Jeep turned off and I was doing 35 and having to brake hard to keep of your ass and blinked my highs.
3b. Now to you Mr.Ford, if you get over ALL the way to the shoulder after the summit AND start slowing down, don't start getting back over without a blinker and without speeding up, especially since I was about to pass you. Then dont start brake checking me when I am doing LESS than the speed limit DOWNHILL 2 car lengths back.

Last thing to both of you, when you are pretty much stopping in curves... GET THE FUCK OVER!

All I want to do is maintain the speed limit (maybe 5 over)....is that too much to ask?

One thing I forgot, GET OFF YOUR DAMN CELLPHONE when you are on a 2 lane,steep,curvy mountain pass.

Sorry, just had to get that off my chest.

edit: a couple weeks ago I ended up behind a sheriffs suv going up, it was bliss...people maintained the speed limit or got over. I say either add a passing lane somewhere going up from Reno,Allow double line passing in certain areas under extreme circumstances, or have more patrols.
