Props to you, that gave me a good laugh.

I'll have to agree that people with the no-turn-signals get on my nerves too. I don't see it nearly as much with actual turning as I do with switching lanes on the freeway. It's even more annoying for some reason when they change lanes rather quickly without signaling.

More things that bother me:

1. Trucks. Tractor trailers to be more specific. They're everywhere where I live and the majority of them drive like they own the road.

2. People who tailgate me when I'm already going 15 over the limit or more in the fast lane.

3. Pedestrians at night that give you that glare as they cross the road after you brake suddenly for them like they expect you to see them as clearly as you would in broad daylight, regardless of what color clothing they have on. (Though they're certainly easier to spot than darker colors, experience has shown me that lighter colors like white aren't as noticeable in headlights or peripheral vision as one might think.)

Are you high? White reflects light. REFLECTS. That means that the light comes back in your direction. I hope you can grasp that before your next post.

Tailgating, because there's really no reason for it. Yes, I drive one of the best looking cars on the road, and you are jealous, I get it. You can pass.

Where, mang.

Edison area, around Fords. I live between Menlo Park Mall and Woodbridge Mall.

I haven't had too much experience on the road, I'm getting my drivers license next month as a matter of fact. But, if there's something that pisses me off it is tailgating. I'm holding up to the speed limit, but they can't back the fuck off cause they think I'll speed it up more or something. It almost feels like when people are unnecessarily close to you on the road they're intruding your personal space. Heck, what if a kid/deer/cat or whatever would run over the road or something making me brake, there's no way they'd be able to brake in time, making them hit the back of my car and probably squash the kiddie who just ran over.

Well, it's a general consensus between me and my friends that motorcyclists over here should pretty much get off the roads, or have their own separate road network, because their presence has generally made driving a real pain.

Otherwise, there's these idiots who think they are F1/WRC pros and drive around at high speed (2x the speed limit), TAILGATING especially and pretty much putting everyone else's life in danger.

Sorry, just spotted this.

Basically, over here a lot of motorway is three-lanes. The idea being that move as much to the inside lane as possible so faster cars can pass easily. However, there's a lot of people (and I mean a lot) who seem to have this fear of the inside lane because no matter how clear it is they stick to the middle lane, which can tend to cause issues for cars wanting to overtake. These people are middle lane wankers.

People actually use turn signals? Most folks in my hometown don't. They just go wavy-wavy hands out the appropriate left/right window to signal a turn. :3:

I can understand the honking though. Here, a change from red to green in front of you will always activate the horns to your rear in 0.1 seconds.

No, I'm not high, and yes, I know white reflects light, but by comparison it's no reflective vest. The smaller town I live in isn't that well-lit outside of downtown.

Someone might have already said this one, but another thing that bothers me are people that turn left as soon as the light turns green when they're supposed to yield to oncoming traffic. One of these days the person in the oncoming lane is going to have just as itchy a foot on the gas pedal and things will go bad very quickly.

See but at least they signal where they intend to go. Cockmonglers over here don't give any of us that luxury and sometimes even our superhuman reflexes aren't quick enough to avoid a minor collision because some fuck cuts us off at the last second.

It seems like nobody up here in maine even read their drivers manual, let alone passed their drivers test but by some miracle obtained their license. Some bullshit I've encountered on the road up here:

• SLOW AS FUCK UPHILL DRIVING. I live in the downtown area of Bangor up here and to get anywhere in this shithole of a city you need to drive uphill. Now I don't know about anyone else but my car needs to be going ATLEAST 20 to 25 just to fucking crawl upwards. Anything less is fucking retarded and UNFORTUNATELY everyone up here is RETARDED.
• CUTTING ME OFF. I've been cut off by so many fucking tacky tramps in their SUV's it's bullshit. It's always been a woman that I've been cut off by, and every single one of them looks like they haven't realized it's not the 80's anymore. Get these fucking scags off the road.
• TAKING A LEFT TURN WHEN IT'S NOT YOUR TURN. People turning right on a green light have the right-of-way. People turning left on a general green (not a green arrow!) have the right to go IF NOBODY IS MAKING A TURN. These fucking people pull this shit all the time and hold up all the right-going traffic until they get a red light, and then they get their fucking green arrow.
• DECIDE WHAT LANE YOU WANT TO DRIVE IN. People drive in-between lanes all the time up here it's ridiculous. I myself have been a bitch and cut someone off because he couldn't decide if he wanted to turn left or go straight, and being that I was also driving uphill I couldn't slow down anymore to let him decide, so. ZOOM. He honked at me from behind and I gave him the finger.

Driving up here can piss me off so damned much sometimes, and it seems like every day someone is doing something stupid on the road.

I hate driving in general, but here are some things that I specifically hate about driving:

• Old people drivers: Goddamn, I hate them. They seem to always drive 10 miles below the speed limit and it's so annoying.
• People talking on their cellphones: If it's so fucking important to take a call while on the road, can't you just pull over to the side of the road or just pull into a parking lot or something?
• Slow drivers: Same as old people, but they should know better than to drive 10 miles below the speed limit, on the highway.
• Trucks: Why can't we just get rid of those big ass, annoying trucks altogether and just transport large loads of cargo and whatnot by helicopter, planes, and trains?

I don't understand this point. While I can understand being intimidated by trucks (they're big), as someone who travels on America's Highways pretty often and by many means, I'd rather be between two trucks than anything else.

Ahahahahahahahahaha. Are you serious? Do you understand the logistical problems with this suggestion at all?

Here's another type of flaccid-dicked driver that needs to be locked in his pickup-with-a-9"-lift-kit-to-compensate-for-my-manhood cab with a pack of rabid badgers that are high on cocaine:

Lifted pickup drivers who think that the 25 mph speed limit in a school zone only applies to the 6 feet before and after the school's main gate; everything else is of no consequence. They will drive well over 50 mph in a school zone just so that they can cum to the booming sound of their gas-gargling engine exhausting its fumes through their "sweet Flowmaster pipes" and then slam on their brakes before they reach the gates just to give the impression that they were obeying the applicable speed law which is, you know, in place for the safety of kids.

Those pricks deserve to have my students shove an entire sack of potatoes into their exhausts so that their engines blow up like fucking Bosnian land mines.

No, it's not that they're intimidating. They're just... well, annoying. Especially when they're on a small road or something.

No shit. Obviously there are places where it would be impossible for those vehicles I mention. Well geez... It was just a simple thought... :(

Fine, how about something more unrealistic like teleporters?!? :tpg:

Tailgaters usually bother me the most. I usually slow down even more when I see a car that happens to be sticking too close. Another one that comes to mind is people who don't use turn signals at all. I consider myself a very careful driver anyway so I'm normally aware of everything around me, but sometimes I encounter drivers who just don't use signals and end up turning dangerously. Finally, people who just drive too slow in general when everyone else is going at least 5-10 over the speed limit.

I feel your pain. I live in a truck town, they're all over the place here. It's even better on the highway when you have two of them just sitting there taking up both lanes, neither making any effort to pass the other.

Similar to people that don't signal when they turn or switch lanes, people that don't look behind them when they back up piss me off. With a huge multitude of things that could go horribly wrong as a result of this neglect, I can't imagine why or how someone could overlook this. And yet, some months ago I was at a drive-thru for a Wendy's and for some reason I don't know (maybe to get lined up with the screen so they could check their order), the person ordering in front of me starts to back up. I seldom honk the horn, but I swear this guy would've backed into me if I hadn't honked.

what else gets my goat are the assholes on a 3 or 5 lane road that indicate a left turn, then brake in your lane, before crawling into the left turn lane at the last moment.

Additionally, what bugs me is the 'no right turn on red' signs in areas where it's unnecessary. I just disregard those for the most part.

This bugs me too, because the area I'm from didn't do that. It was very sane: straight/right turning traffic first with the left hand lane blinking red, and then left turners go. There's no chance of that when the left hand people go first.

This is kinda similar to the SUV cell phone complaint. Women who do their make up while driving. Look, I get that someone women feel they can't be seen without several feet of coloured goo or powder on their face but at least wait for a parking lot or, gee I dunno, a red light even! If you're driving on the highway - or even just a road in general - put down the lipstick, stop trying to apply your foundation and for the love of god don't even consider the mascara brush again. This has happened to me so many times, it makes me ashamed to be female.

Lol, I totally did this the other day then I caught myself and I'm asking myself why.

Here in Idaho there are a lot of two lane roads, so when I'm stuck behind a line of people waiting for one person who's waiting make a left hand turn onto a street, when there's a dirt road to the right where people can pass this annoying bastard, it gets quite...annoying

Uh oh, I'm going to be driving with you for 2+ HOURS? Yikes.

Oh, and yesterday(i hate fucking Idaho), I was driving through a neighborhood and I was coming to an intersection and so was this other car. I had no stop sign so I assumed he did so I kept going and so did he. After taking another look there was no fucking stop sign for a 4 way intersection. ugh! and then my husband yells at me for not paying attention.

I hate people with cars. *jumps up and down shaking fist* Assholes! Driving their stupid cars everywhere, making it dangerous for the rest of the world to walk.

Seriously, angry, people.

Everybody drives different. It's hard to even sit passenger seat with somebody and not cringe and flinch quite a few time before the end of the trip. A LOT of people driving that annoy other people aren't really braking the rules, and the ones that do might have actually made an honest mistake, and some of them just might have a legitimate enough reason to break a rule or two.
Yes, there is dickheads, but what's flipping out gonna do? I bite my tongue a lot (not ALL the time, though).

Anyways, as anybody who's lived in Vegas will say, CAB DRIVERS are the spawn of fucking Satan and need to be exorcised.

And please don't tailgate me. If you give me maybe more than a measly 10 seconds to actually notice you're behind me, I might just move over and let you pass. Otherwise, find your own way around.

I usually don't get too angry when it comes to other people driving, because I expect people to do stupid things. I just try my best to keep myself aware at all times because especially when it comes to driving people are just plain stupid and we're all guilty of doing at least something stupid on the road once.

Where I'm living at the moment (Newfoundland), I usually don't have much to complain about. I find a lot of the drivers actually pretty civil. I'm not one for speed unless its a road I frequently travel on and I'm familiar with the surroundings. When it comes to a road or stretch of highway that I'm unaware of I usually drive the speed limit or maybe 5-10 km below it.

When I'm working out in Alberta thats a totally different story altogether. The stretch of highway that I have to drive on every day I have to work is Highway 63. To the entire province its known as the highway of death because since I've been working in Alberta that stretch of road has killed maybe 30 to 40 people.

There are two hatred I have developed toward other drivers especially since I've been working in Alberta.

1.) People who drive while talking with their cellphones. I can tolerate it if it's on the highway and there isn't much traffic, but I can't fucking stand it when people talk on their cellphones especially when they're driving downtown where it is more congested and there are more intersections. You have to be aware of your surroundings of all time. It absolutely pisses me off when people talk on their cellphones where traffic is tight and they switch lanes and don't even check their mirrors and end up pulling out of an intersection and don't bother checking in both directions.

2.) People who don't drive according to the FUCKING WEATHER CONDITIONS. I hate it that people think they're invincible on the road. Sure there might be freezing rain on the road and within a few hours that means there is going to be black ice. The drivers don't care; they'll still drive 140 KPH in 100 zone. It is these assholes who lack any patience who cause the majority of the accidents on that stretch of highway on the road. You know I'm not risking my life just to get home or get to work a little faster than usual. If it is snowing heavily/hailing heavily/ or a lot of ice on the road I'm going to slow down to 50 or 60 KPH because I'm not taking that risk to go into a ditch or slam into another car. If you fuckers don't like it since your behind me, then go ahead, you risk your life; I on the other hand want to make it home alive.

I tend to be very cautious when driving in Northern Alberta. A lot of companies are aware of many of the problems that come with driving up in this area and the amount of lives that are lost every year. My company is very strict when it comes to their company vehicles. If you speed, drive recklessly and get caught you get suspended without pay. The police are really cracking down with all the excess speeding in the area, sometimes coming home from work you can see maybe 4 to 5 people pulled over within a span of 24 kilometres.

Oh god, how did I forget this one? The worst I had was a couple weeks ago at night when it was really foggy. Idiots all had their brights on which actually makes it harder to see. So in the fog I got idiots with their brights on tailgating me and since their brights are shining past me, I can't see. So I'm just thinking "Hurry up and pass me already asshole so I can go back to being able to see."
