When driving, what gets the most in your nerves?

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.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

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).

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

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 was speaking idiomatically.

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.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

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!

FELIPE NO

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.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

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

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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

How ya doing, buddy?

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

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

FELIPE NO

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.

How ya doing, buddy?

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 ... 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

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.

Most amazing jew boots

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.

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.

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!

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.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
