When driving, what gets the most in your nerves?
 
I guess that many people here already drives, and they know the road isnt and will never be perfect, because there is always something that gets in everyone's nerves... what is it for you?

For me the trucks going 20 in the highway (with a 70mph speed limit) and the cops that are tracking every move that you make to catch you (thanks God i have never been caught so far, but i ve seen many get stopped), or passing with the flashers on to be able to speed as fast as their patrol can

Fjordor Mar 10, 2006 11:29 AM

People who do not use turn signals.
THAT IS A GOVERNMENT REQUIRED FEATURE FOR A REASON FUCKTARDS! USE IT!
(caps mean I'm talking very loud. ^_^ )

Dopefish Mar 10, 2006 11:30 AM

What annoys me: people driving AT the speed limit and people climbing up my ass. Of course, what do I do when people do that? Slow down. :D

I almost never go 5-10 miles per hour over the posted speed limit. The only time I've ever been pulled over was when I was on a long stretch of road at around midnight, doing 55 in a 35. I didn't think about it much but I was probably doing 45 when the cop came up behind me and he started getting closer and closer, so I sped up. Bzzt, wrong! So, from then on I never sped up when people got on my ass, only slowed down. It's more or less a "wouldn't you do this to me?" gesture than anything else. :D

Matt Mar 10, 2006 11:38 AM

For some reason, I can't stand it when people have their windows down with their arms hanging out.
It drives me nuts.

Another thing I can't stand when driving around here:
  • the tailgating
  • the constant swerving in and out of lanes that people will do without using their blinkers
  • the rampant speeding
  • people cutting you off and forcing you to slam on your brakes just so they can go 2mph faster in front of you than behind some other guy
  • the long traffic lights and long wait for the idiot in front to GO when the light is green
  • the fact that I have to pay a dollar every time I cross the river (to get to work and school)
  • the morning traffic and the 20 minute wait to cross the bridge
  • every single supersized SUV on the road
  • cars with stupid bumper stickers
Let's just say I hate driving around here in general.

I love taking road trips though.

Alice Mar 10, 2006 11:44 AM

I get really annoyed with aggressive drivers. You know the type - you're already going 15 mph over the speed limit and they come flying up behind you and tailgate you until the tiniest break in traffic flow allows them to zoom around you so fast they break the sound barrier and cause a sonic boom.

It also annoys me when people don't pay attention at the stoplight, it turns green and they just sit there staring out their side window until someone behind them honks their horn and brings them back to reality.

Serious shit. Is it that hard to hit a switch a few seconds beforehand so we all know where the hell you're going, inadvertently saving us money on our car insurance by not hitting you?

russ Mar 10, 2006 11:50 AM

I don't like it when people can't stay in their own lane. I'm driving along on a four-lane and the dumbass a quarter mile ahead of me is going a lot slower than me and finding it impossible to keep it between the lines, making it a very nerve racking experience to try to pass him. I'm sorry, but it is not goddamn difficult to keep your car moving in a straight line and it is even easier to keep it between two lines that give you plenty of wiggle room. Keep out of my goddamn lane, you no insurance having son of a bitch. Also people who slow down to .03 mph to turn right. Also people who use their cell phone TO TEXT MESSAGE SOMEONE while driving. What.

Elcee Mar 10, 2006 11:56 AM

I'm always entertained when someone flies by me while weaving a road basket, then I pull up beside them at a red light, two intersectons down the street.

Specially if the idiot in front of you is a heavy truck

Also those who skip the line in the traffic light and curse at you when you honk at them

Fire On Ice Mar 10, 2006 12:03 PM

I just got my licence like a week ago and I'm pretty new with driving alone, but the thing that annoys me most is the people that can't choose a lane. They'll just sit there, stradling the line and making it impossible for me to go anywhere because of it.

alkaline Mar 10, 2006 12:22 PM

Boy do I ever hate driving!
  • Tailgaters. Especially when I'm already going 80mph with no one behind me one moment, and the next there's someone magically behind me who is so far up the ass of my car, I can't see their headlights.
  • People who refuse to signal and that can't make up their minds.
  • When people switch 2-3 lanes at a time on the freeway. I don't understand why these people want to die so badly.
  • People who drive 60MPH in parking lots.
  • People who don't understand what a stop sign is and just roll through it, or don't even bother slowing down at all.

The list can go on and on, but recently? It's been douchebags like these two winners-

http://www.gigapress.com/pix/parking_asshats.jpg

Immortal Mar 10, 2006 12:48 PM

For me it's people who are unable to talk on the phone and drive at the same time in a reasonably safe manner, but decide to do it anyway. Tailgaters in SUVs rank up there with me too, since my top rear view mirror is about as high as some SUV's headlights =/

Arainach Mar 10, 2006 12:48 PM

Cell Phones. Plain and simple, I hate them.

Shadow Drax Mar 10, 2006 12:59 PM

I agree with Arainach. The other day, I was indicating to pull into the lane on my left, checked it and everything, all was good. So, I go to move over, and BAM! I nearly bang into a Mini, who is going into the lane from the other side...without indicating, and all the while yammering away on her mobile phone. I don't think she even realised how close she came to hitting me. ><

I hate tailgaters too. And people who drive right up your ass, flash you with their full beam headlights (while its still dark) just because you don't happen to be breaking the sound barrier at that particular point in time. (I hate this on multiple levels actually, the fact that they nearly blind you in the process and the fact that if you have to make an emergency stop theres sure to be an accident.)

the quiet fox Mar 10, 2006 01:05 PM

Tailgaters, especially because I like to drive, you know, the speed limit. OH LOOK, IT WOULD APPEAR I'M NOT GOING FAST ENOUGH FOR YOU. Yes, I invite you to leave a millimeter of space between us to encourage me to speed up!

I used to go faster to accommodate people, especially if I was only going like 5 above the speed limit, but lately I've stopped doing that for the sake of my stress. Too bad, person behind me. Slow the F down and enjoy the scenery or something.

Alice Mar 10, 2006 01:08 PM

There's this thing I do if I don't have my kids with me and someone is tailgating me. I'll slow down to about 10 mph just to piss them off and drive like that until I start to get on my own nerves. Nine times out of ten, when I go back up to normal speed, they've taken the hint and will back off.

squirrelishere Mar 10, 2006 02:36 PM

Well, put it this way, most, if not all of you guys/gals here in this thread would hate me driving in their same street. Firstly, I love driving fast. But I will not tailgate you. I will leave distance. Well, just enough to see around you so I can pass you soon. I hardly use my blinkers. I see you are going to stay in your lane, so why use it? If YOU use it, I will be able to tell before I try switching, therefore I will slow down. On the highway though, I will tailgate your ass or cut you off right after I pass you. There are 2-3 lanes, and when the sign on the road says "Slower traffic to the right", get your ass on the right. Trust me, I only do this when there IS NOBODY on the right. Kind of hinting you to follow the signs huh? And yes I know, I'm not following the speed limit, but 2 wrongs don't make it right.

Anywho, the stuff that pisses me off are the slow turners. Sometimes the corner isn't a 90 degree angle, it's one of those slanted ones.

Then there are those people that SLOWLY(OMFG EVER SO SLOW) change lanes. And once their 85% in the next lane, put their signal on. Or RIGHT when they turn, they put their signal on. For people who want to follow rules, they say put it on at least 40-50 feet before you make the turn/switch. Geez....

Another is people who double park in the middle of the street when like 5 feet away is a huge parking space.

Anywho, I've been driving for about 10 years now. In total, I've had 3 speeding tickets. 1 was bullshit. I AM able to drive and talk on a cell phone with no problems.

alkaline Mar 10, 2006 02:45 PM

You take pride in being a complete dick when you are in control of a few tons of steel at the risk of others around you.

I hope you die.

In a fire.

squirrelishere Mar 10, 2006 03:00 PM

I'm sorry if the way I drive gets you mad. I don't take pride in how I drive, but it's just the way I am comfortable with when I drive. I'm not really wanting to put others at risk, I don't intend to. Which is why I still give people some space to breathe and carefully watch other cars around me. I'm not just stupidly switching lanes and not looking.

I seriously don't hope you die. I'm shocked you feel that way about me.

I would like to second the request that you die. Preferably in a fiery inferno where no one else besides you gets hurt.

Thank you Alice for not reading the next sentence in my post. Or if you did, I think you forgot to add it in your quote.

russ, I've been driving like this for years now. I don't think I'll be changing any time soon. And to me, there is no problem. No tickets in the last 3(going on 4 years) and maybe 2 times I've been close to being in an accident, and this was due to cars coming off the freeway where you can't really see if there are cars coming down the street.

Tails Mar 10, 2006 03:31 PM

lol @ everyone getting pissed at squirrel. Get a life.

The worst is obviously the people who kinda drift back in forth inbetween two lanes. Like they're in their lane, but their car occasionally drifts slightly over into the lane next to them. Usually fags on Cell Phones.

Acro-nym Mar 10, 2006 05:04 PM

I drive very little, mostly because I find it unpleasant. However, I've determined that nothing bothers me on the road. I may notice someone disobeying a traffic law, but it doesn't bother me. Why? Because I don't know who they are or what might be going through their mind. Also, they haven't done anything to me, so why does it matter? The guy cuts you off, but you didn't take any damage, right? Neither of you is injured. You can still get to wherever it is you're going. This is just one possibly scenario. No matter what it is, though, I find myself not concerned with any behavior on the road.

Shiny McShine Mar 10, 2006 05:45 PM

Things that piss me off....hmm...well:

1. People who taligate, obviously one of the more common complaints.

2. The most reprehensible kind of person who would go out of their way to fucking hit a bag or a piece of cardboard or god forbid a cat or dog or other animal. Congratulations asshole, you got 10 extra points. Die fucker.

3. OLD PEOPLE. I can't believe no one has mentioned SENIOR DRIVERS yet. Heaven't you guys ever seen the South park episode? Anyways, Senior drivers are the worst. I've seen old people go flying through stoplights that have been dead red for more than 10 seconds. It seems that all seniors either drive way too slow or dangerously fast.

orion_mk3 Mar 10, 2006 05:57 PM

Aside from tailgaters, which I think we can now declare to be universal, I've a few pet peeves of my own:

When two people are going the same speed, right next to each other, in different lanes, preventing anyone from passing either one of them and backing up traffic for a lightyear.

People who rubberneck at a minor traffic accident or pull-over, slowing down to 25 MPH in the missle of rush hour.

People who hit the gas when you try and pass them. The turnpike isn't the Indy 500, and letting someone pass you does not automatically mean that you have a tiny penis. Thank you.

My number one pet peeve is when people make rude gestures or faces, at me or anyone else. Whether they have cause or not, it's the last thing people need on the road, and drivers bust out the deuces for the most trivial things. Plus, in this state, you never know if someone may be armed.

Niekon Mar 10, 2006 05:59 PM

So many things to list... so little time before I can logoff and go home for the day...
  • Tailgaters who think it is okay to drive 50+ mph through a residential area and school zone.
  • Drivers who think that dawn and dusk does not require them to turn on their headlights
  • Pedestrians who do not push the magic button so that they are able to legally cross the street. Nothing worse than having to wait on a pedestrian to cross against a signal on an already short light
  • speaking of pedestrians, drivers who are so impatient that they will nearly run over a pedestrian while they are still in the crosswalk... or that honk at me while I wait for said pedestrian to get to a safe point that I can make my turn
  • Traffic jams over the littlest shit... there could be a shoe in the middle of a lane on the freeway and the entire freeway comes to a grinding halt
  • Assholes who think that bouncing from lane to lane in the previous example will get them anywhere any faster
  • Drivers who cannot handle changes in the weather. I live on the Los Angeles area... and these people cannot handle a sprinkle of rain without going apeshit nuts on the roads
  • Drivers who when making right turns take up the entire lane in order to make said turn instead of scooting over closer to the curb
  • Boneheads who change out their own headlights and do not adjust them to the proper angle so that you are being blinded because they have them aimed too high
  • *shit three minutes to go*
  • Drivers who ignore the "Right Turn Only" signs and blast through an intersection to get ahead of everyone else
  • Driver who know that a lane is merging into another lane and will ride it out as far as they can in the merging lane in order to possibly get a car length ahead of where they might otherwise be

Iwata Mar 10, 2006 06:03 PM

i hate cars who go 5 and more under the speed limit, it pisses me off to no end. Living in San Francisco, everyone is in a rush, so i have adopted the aggressive driving atitude and people who drive slow just aggreviate me. I also hate when people slow down a quarter mile before a stop light espically on hilly roads as i drive a stick.

Say the light is green and they are a quarter a mile away, instead of speeding up and catching the green light, they gradually slow down at a snail's pace and by the time they do reach the light, it has turned red and im stuck behind them and then some asshole gets right on my ass and i have to pray that i don't roll back on the steep ass ncline due to having a stick.

kapsi Mar 10, 2006 06:10 PM

Yeah, I hate driving in this city. I BART into work Monday-Friday and if I ever have to come here for any other reason, I'll find the closest BART station then call a cab. Driving here, around the business district, is scary stuff.

Being a pedestrian in Downtown San Francisco is scary stuff... I've barely gotten to an area that is wide enough for a car to go between me and the curb and they're turning... damn near clipping me in the process.

And it's because of downtown that I refuse to drive while visiting my wife's family up there...

Dinner Mar 10, 2006 06:50 PM

Mostly everything bugs me when i'm driving, I get prety mad. But i have lots I mean LOTS of assholes not using their signals almost had some accidents cause they don't signal, and i think they're going straight, but nope, they're turning. Also, people pulling out in front of me is a big piss off, happens a lot, then they go below the speed limit.

Yah... those are the ones I truly do wish would just die, are the ones who would go out of their way to hit animals. I don't even see how anyone could be so sadistic.

The other things I hate -

- Tailgaters of course.
- Big trucks that feel the need to drive as if they're a racecar.
- Double parkers
- People who think I should be going faster when I'm already going the speed limit. I don't speed. It wears down a car faster, is more dangerous, and seriously hurts the gas mileage.
- People who run past stop signs without stopping or ignore red lights.
- Detroit drivers that feel the need to shout at me to take my "fucking Honda back to fucking Ohio"

elwe Mar 10, 2006 07:09 PM

-People who don't use their turn signals. If you're going to make a lane change or a turn, I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to flick a little stick. Who knows? It might avoid accidents!

-Cellphones! I can't stand it when a driver keeps swerving because they're talking on their cellphone. At least a headset would be nice, if you really must talk on the phone.

-Tailgaters. It's not safe for them, and it's not safe for the other cars around them.

-People who have dinner behind the wheel! I don't have anything against eating behind the wheel, but if it's going to really distract you, stop! I had the misfortune of riding in a car whose driver was munching on food and taking his eyes off the road frequently. The worst part was that the road was twisting and turning at the edge of cliffs and whatnot. I believe it was California Route 1, but I'm not too sure. Anyways, I was ready to jump out into the ocean. :p That was quite some time ago though.

Dewman Mar 10, 2006 07:15 PM

Cyclists
They are a car when they want to be and a pedestrian every other time. When driving you have to be especially cautious with them, since it doesn't look godd if a driver takes out a cyclists. The ones that are particularly bad are the ones that take up to much space in car lanes.

Kaiten Mar 10, 2006 07:20 PM

--Heavy Traffic: I like to cruise at the speed limit, but too many cars causes me to slow down too much
--Taligaters WITH slow cars ahead of me
--When right lanes merge (which happens way too often on my route to work)
--Pot holes
--Sunday drivers
--Fast changing lights

Good thing the Saturday and Sunday commute has such light traffic, it's the best driving I get in all week.

DeLorean Mar 10, 2006 08:39 PM

Not too much pisses me off... but I don't understand how people can leave their turning signals on while they're just driving down the road. Can't you hear it?? I't like an off-beat metronome, it drives me crazy.

Rydia Mar 10, 2006 09:15 PM

People who follow too close are irritating, and I also don't like it when people in front don't signal and turn too late. I've avoided a few potential accidents like that many times already.

Happens all the time. It seems the frequency of sudden turns without the signal increases with heavier traffic, just when you should use the turn signal more often.

Why Am I Allowed to Have Gray Paint Mar 10, 2006 09:37 PM

Apart from people who don't use turn signals properly or at all (watch a roundabout for five minutes and you'll see what I mean), people who don't understand when to give way to people coming the opposite direction, and hold everyone else up in the process. Here in England you're supposed to give way to traffic approaching your right (driver) side at a roundabout or junction, but you see so many pricks who just stop there gawking while a huge line forms behind them. Also, if there's an obstruction (such as a parked car) on your side, you pull up behind it and give way to oncoming vehicles, you don't gun it and see if you can get past before that eighteen-wheeler smashes up your car. That last one probably doesn't happen as much in the US where the roads are generally wider/better than ours, but here it just winds me up.

scotty Mar 10, 2006 09:42 PM

My dad told me about a tailgater he literaly ran into. My dad was driving a fairly big truck, while the tailgater had a smaller truck. The tailgater was getting pissed off at him, so my dad just put on the brakes causing the smaller truck to get pushed under his bumper leaving his truck perfectly ok, and the asshole got a hell of alot of damage. My dad got out of the truckand yelled "YOU SCRATCHED MY BUMPER!" meanwhile the other truck was heavily dented...:)

As for me, I just don't really care for driving and have nowhere to drive to yet as just got my L and have no job yet... I'll just say I hate driving school instuctors

Cyantre Mar 10, 2006 09:44 PM

When cars drive too slow on a major highway. I was driving today and a Hertz passed this other car, and I just had to laugh... and pass the incredible slow moving vehicle.

Spike Mar 10, 2006 09:50 PM

Slow people. I don't like wasting time and they're wasting my time by driving slow. Now I'm not talking about driving at the speed limit. That's completely fine with me. I'm talking about those that drive at a speed of about half the speed limit. So annoying...

Lady Miyomi Mar 10, 2006 10:09 PM

People who aren't pay attention to the road due to other distractions. They are the main cause of accidents and near-accidents.

Mercury Blue Mar 10, 2006 10:09 PM

Senior drivers, esp. the ones where I live. They are at their worse when it rains, they hit just about anything and everything! It always makes me so paranoid having to drive on days like that. I know all seniors aren't like that, but some of them ought not to be driving.
I hate it when I have my turn signal on long enough to let the idiot behind me know I am going to be making a turn and they are on a CELL PHONE and finally notice as they are just about ready to hit me to stop! This happened AGAIN today.
And I just love it when people use there telepathic turn signals too. -.-

This is especially annoying when a tailgater is right behind you...
I think almost all the people who drive too slow are too scared to drive at the speed limit (which is why they shouldn't drive) or honestly think the speed limit is lower, they should just use the backroads if they're going to drive so slow.

KCJ506 Mar 10, 2006 10:14 PM

When people turn at the last second w/out putting on their turn signals or they do but at the last second as well & when people just swerve all over the lanes. As well as when they go like 100mph thinking the street is only for them.

Shonos Mar 10, 2006 10:31 PM

The drivers who think that when it rains it's okay to drive at ninety miles per hour. I've seen some scary shit on rainy days because retards think that they can drive like it's sunny while it rains. They dont seem to care it takes longer to stop on a slick wet road.

It's even worse in areas where it does not rain much. It's like they dont care if they spin out. They want to go zooooooooooooooooooooom.

Speeding isn't too much of a problem where I live since we have a very well funded police force with time to waste on traffic patrols (plus we have red light cameras that photograph idiots who runa light or cross an intersection way too fast).

jouhou Mar 10, 2006 10:42 PM

oh I hate it when there's like 5 or more trucks on the highway. It's like they have some kind of "let's congest traffic" pact. I know they're suppose to maintain a great distance from the car in front but one time there were 5 trucks, each one taking up 2 lanes. 2 lanes!! We all know they can fit perfectly into one lane but they were like exactly half on each side of the lanes.

I avoid trucks, I can't see past them, which makes city driving a real pain in the ass. Plus they accelerate slowly, so when they're at the front of a green light, it takes three times longer for the line to start moving.

quest2368 Mar 11, 2006 12:43 AM

I dislike slow cars in HOV lanes. Especially drivers that are in the car by themselves. What's the purpose of driving in the HOV lane, if you can't seem to drive fast? HOV lanes are design for high occupancy vehicles so they can reach their destinations faster, avoid traffic and other vehicles changing lanes!

riceonfriday Mar 11, 2006 01:33 AM

I guess there aren't many gravel trucks out there, or you all just forgot to mention them. Even if I'm a mile off from them, there's always a rock homed into me, either chipping my hood or my windshield.

I think it was mentioned earlier too, but it's really annoying when the trooper pulls someone over for speeding, and everyone decides to slow down to the speed limit upon seeing him. AS IF he's going to stop what he's doing and chase you down for speeding.

grodiens Mar 11, 2006 10:56 AM

I hate the motorcyclists who want to pass between the cars at the traffic.

Your dad sounds like he rocks xp If I had a bigger vehicle I'd be doing stuff like to tailgaters too.

when ppl think yuo're going slow, and they try to pass you and they give you that look. the look of disgust, the look of "go home you bastard!"

my dad is what they call a shit disturber, and some times gets carried away, and yes is is quite cool:)

Now back on topic, I hate snowplows that completly block off any way of getting out of your driveway. They seem to enjoy making people suffer "Hey, look at this nice snow free road I just plowed! Too bad you cant get to it HAHAHAHA" bastards...

The slow driver creates the tailgate driver, thinking that he can speed up the slow driver. Reaction time is greatly reduced, and anything can happen. In the city, I hate slow turners, mostly, because if I'm a half a block behind the person, it shouldn't affect me, but it does, and it affects the whole pace.

On the highway, I hate people who have to drive the same speed in lanes right next to each other and you can't get passed them and their slowness. The fast lane is there for a reason, and that's to get around those who drive obnoxiously slow. I may go 5-15 over on average, but it's the normal flow of traffic in Michigan, and it's a bigger crime to disrupt that flow :(

Megalith Mar 11, 2006 03:28 PM

Black people. I can't see them at night when they're crossing the street.

Paco Mar 11, 2006 03:29 PM

Try opening those squinty slits you call "eyes", you slope...

Megalith Mar 11, 2006 03:30 PM

Try wearing reflectors.

What are you talking about? Megalith has eyes as big as the earth.



The weather this year has been particularly bad for driving. The constant freezing and thawing caused many of the roads to heave, turning the normally smooth streets into washboards. Anyway, there is the huge bump on the parimeter highway where the railroad tracks cross to an oil refinery. I was driving, doing about 65 or 70 (115 kph) but predictably slowed down considerably (to about 35) when this dumbass who was behind me got closer and closer behind. He was tailgating so close behind that first his headlights disappeared, followed by the hood of his car. All I could see behind me was this faggot glaring out of his window.
I gathered he'd never been down the highway before because when his car went KAWUMP after mine all of the sudden he hit the breaks and backed right off. I guess it never occured to him that I was slowing down for a reason.

Other story from yesterday, I was heading home from Stupid Store (superstore) and I had 4 lanes of traffic to cross in a block. Anyway, I shouldercheck and there is the Bmer behind me in the lane to my left. I signal and the dumbass piles on the gas and blows past me in that lane. Why is it that in winnipeg, turning your signal on means "SPEED UP" to anyone in the lane beside you. Somehow, the kindergarden lunch line mentality has transfered over to driving. What a bunch of philistines.

Tractors, I can't stand farm vehicles.

And boy racers who do that revving thing.

If you turn on your headlights, sometimes you can see things in front of your car that you ordinarily can't.

Sorry, i generalized in the first post :p ... but i agree that gravel trucks are reallly annoying. I have to deal with those everyday and i dont know how i hadnt (thanks God) gotten my windshield messed up (specially travelling on the turnpike)

I agree with that, unless other drivers are fearing the undercover cops, but i doubt the cops pull over drivers if they are all speeding in a group

Shiny McShine Mar 11, 2006 07:50 PM

Is it just me or is this thread getting really spammy? It seems like everyone is posting the exact same thing that the person 2 people above them posted.

Oh well.

But I do see my share of gravel trucks pretty much every day...

BTW @ Megalith: You racist bastard. You hate black people because they are black. How dare you.

Amanda Mar 12, 2006 01:06 AM

Bicyclists on the road. In the middle of winter, when many roads are one lane. Riding at night. With no reflecters.

*murders*

Also, people who can't be bothered to use turn signals. May you be rear-ended by a transport truck.

doodle Mar 12, 2006 01:26 AM

I have found that not getting in any hurry is key to mellow driving. I've been down the Angury Driving road, and it is just stressful and no fun, so I now adopt a "hey, whatever man" attitude every time I get behind the wheel. You wanna go slow? Okay, I'll enjoy the scenery. You wanna go fast? Well, I'll slow down a bit when a passing zone opens up, fella.

Really, though, I dislike driving, and avoid it as much as possible. Given a choice, I'd rather bum a ride every time. You extremist drivers, defensive and aggressive, make the road a terrifying place.

Double Post:
This will probably draw a lot of fire, but a world where only professionally trained and licensed drivers could drive would be a heck of a lot more safe and efficient. Giving any idiot the right to pilot a two-ton bullet at 60+mph just doesn't seem like the most well thought-out plan. Take away personal vehicles and you've got less air pollution, and hey, with all the additional walking, there goes the obesity problem!

Where I live, I have to do that alot just to be able to get to my needed exit because the exit is two lanes away, and I only have 100 feet to get there. The highway system where I live is terrible.

As for the topic, I have horrible road rage, and it's easy to get me pissed of while drive, but what I really hate when someone goes into a lane, when they know it will be ending soon, and try to pass me.

Needless to say, this is when I play drag racing.

guyinrubbersuit Mar 12, 2006 02:12 AM

I just hope you guys aren't this pissed behind the wheel. Seriously that's some dangerous shit.

I take a mellow approach like doodle. Though it does help that I have music that I enjoy to listen to. Though the number one thing that pisses me off is when there is a regular stop sign crossing on my side and the car decides to stop even though he doesn't have the stop sign. And he waves me to go! Fuck you! I'm staying until you go. I'm not gonna get involved in an accident where I'll be at a disadvantage since I didn't have the right of way. You have the right away when you don't have a stop sign. Use it!

Dee Mar 12, 2006 02:24 AM

For me it's rude driving. People should follow the golden rule on the road too. But noooo, some must cut in front of you or do something that makes you want to shake a fist at them. That and slow drivers.

Josiah Mar 12, 2006 05:21 AM

I usually do speed myself, but generally when others around me are too. I guess it's something I got from my summer job as a DHL pickup driver. So on that note in no particular order:

1) People that go flying past me even when I'm speeding. They must have a death wish.

2) People that show off as they go by. Usually it's either the rev of their engine as they zoom by, or sometimes it's some guy on a crotch rocket doing a wheelie for an extended period of time. (Hope you don't see that pothole next time you do that, moron.)

3) Like some have similarly said, driving behind or around 18-wheelers. I had to do that once behind two that blocked both lanes, in the rain, at night. I could not see a thing even with the wipers on all the way, it was scary.

4) People who change lanes abruptly, even if they signal. And on that note, anytime someone doesn't signal when they should.

5) People who don't even look to see if anyone's in the lane they're merging into.

6) People who refuse to let you change lanes in front of them, especially when you have to get into (or out of) an exit lane, or merge from a lane that's ending.

7) People who tailgate, especially when it as a result boxes me in. That makes me really nervous.

8) People who have the gall to make rude gestures or shout crap at you for whatever reason. Use your lights or your horn, moron. That's what they're for. (The horn at least.)

9) Cell phones. The reason for which people have explained well enough before me. You can get pulled over for that around where my parents live.

10) This one I think I got off my dad. People who throw their cigarette butts out the window. Cars have ashtrays for a reason, dude. Heaven forbid your nicotine addiction warrants you having to use that thing for once, and *gasp* maybe even clean it on occasion.

bighunt Mar 12, 2006 07:22 AM

the one thing that ticks me off the most is people going slow in the fast lane!! get out of the f-n way! their actions cause more problems than they probably realize.

Son of Wiseness Mar 12, 2006 07:31 AM

When people are on their cellphone they don't even pay attention to their driving.

YoMan Mar 12, 2006 10:34 AM

1. Glueing themselves to your backspoiler.
2. Going slow in the fast lane
3. People who don't use the mirrors to look what the hell is going on behind them.
4. People that go way over the speed limit.
5. Cellphones off course.
6. Sometimes i wish the cops were nearby when people do this stuff, but they never are :)

Kalekkan Mar 12, 2006 11:18 AM

1. People who make sloooooooow turns. In order to make a right-hand turn, you do not need to come to a complete stop in most occasions.

2. People who tailgate or who sit in the lane next to me aligned with the backside of my car... making it impossible for me to consider switching lanes, ever.

3. People talking on cell phones and driving like total idiots.

4. People who look the opposite way of traffic and slowly pull their front end of their vehicle out (I've only seen this occur in Florida). I don't get it at all but it seems they think that if they pull the front end of their vehicle out in front of you while trying to turn left that you will stop going 50 MPH, come to a complete stop and let them turn).

5. People in SUV's.

6. People in very expensive cars that drive like mildly retarded monkeys.

7. And then.... there is the most catostrophic event in the world. Rain... Water falls from the sky and people go totally fucking berserk. A 40-minute drive ends up becoming a 2-hour drive.

munchkin13 Mar 12, 2006 01:00 PM

I hate it when other drivers don't indicate and when theres biddies going 20mph on the dual carrigeway when the speed limit is 70, it's so annoying!!!!!!!!! Biddies should be banned from driving if they aint capable of going the speed limit or even close to it.
O and another thing that annoys me coppers who fucking tailgate ya. It's as if their looking for something wrong with ur driving so they can pull ya up and give ya a ticket. They need to be shot lol.

Spyer Mar 12, 2006 02:51 PM

Haha, I don't want to write an essay about this, so I'll just list them all:

1) Tailgaters - I go freaking 20 km/h over the speed limit and people are still riding my ass!
2) Taxi drivers - omg, these guys are going to run over someone one day. I always see them going right through stop signs, just so they can get to their destination as fast as possible
3) Old people, chinese people, and women - holy shit, these are some of the worst drivers I have ever seen. Old people drive too slow, chinese people drive too slow and go all over the road, and women go fucking 800 km/h on a 50 zone!
4) People who slow down during turns and don't speed up while turning - I've crashed about....oh.... 7 times because of this. The guy in front of me is turning, now thats ok, but when the guy is turning and goes soooo slow while turning, I go nuts because Im trying to go around the guy, but he doesn't speed up. COME ON!
5) Psycho drivers - these guys are all over the roads, trying to get to work on time. You're late, its your fault. Don't kill me because of it.

Wooo, that was fun.
