I hate people who get way too worked up over the things people do on the road. Are you all really in that big of a hurry to get wherever it is you're going? Just step back and relax for a second. You'll feel much better for it.
I drive fast, but if there's someone in my way doing something wrong I don't get upset. I turn some good music on, and I enjoy the drive. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

If it's been a while since it rained, especially, the sprinkling water is enough to slick up all the oils and other slick chemicals in the road, but not enough to wash them away. This makes for a very slippery drive if you try and treat it like it's nothing. I know from experience. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
I hate people who don't turn on their headlights when it starts raining. As a rule, if your wipers are going you turn on your headlights. Some cars are really hard to see when it's pouring, and these geniuses aren't making it any better by driving blind.
I'm cool with people who drive particularly slowly (given that they're in the right hand lane and all that), but I really hate moving to pass someone who's going really slow and discovering that the reason they're moving so slow is because they're on the phone. Haven't had too many experiences with tailgaters or really reckless drivers, so I'm pretty lucky in that regard. I was speaking idiomatically. |
That's because you're too much of a wuss to go on the freeways.

Americans driving in Canada. Not all Americans, mind you. Some of you northerners are okay. But my god. I see a Cali plate and there's a half inch of snow on the ground, I know we're going to be driving 10 mph and looking panicked while people zip past us. Always funny.

The more time I spend with ASSHOLES on the road, the more likely I am to get hit by one of them. Thus, I minimize my time on the road. I'm not out there to go Sunday driving. If I'm driving, I expect I'm trying to get somewhere. A to B, as efficiently as possible. I really dislike the attitude that you should spend ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD on the road. I've really got better things to be doing, honestly. Deni, we drove with no trouble through that fuck-fest of a snow storm you guys had in Montreal in March. I ENJOYED how the Canadians weren't phased too much by the snow. It's REFRESHING. (Most Canadians seemed to drive well enough to not solicit road rage from me.) And Anazai, I assure you, I am a very safe driver. You just close your eyes. Jam it back in, in the dark.

That must be it: in Buffalo, our signs are English-only. The Canadians are confused by the clarity. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Not my fault my car is extremely temperamental. You see, I can't get mad at the people who just drive slow because sometimes, that's me (cuz of the car). How ya doing, buddy? |
Yeah, Sass, that's why I said southerners. Specifically Cali. Most northerners know how to drive just fine in the snow.
Also, man, that storm was great. My condo is a half-basement. Had to dig out my door. Like. 3 feet of snow piled up on it. Additional Spam:

Another thing. Driving with my husband is terrifying at times, one of my biggest pet peeves with him is when he stops at a red light within 1 inch of the other cars bumper. That's quite heart racing because it looks like he's not going to stop and then he does so at the last moment. Oh, and when you are sitting at a red light and people keep moving forward and braking, moving and braking, moving and braking, like that is going to make the light turn green any faster and the stupid people behind those fucktards do the same thing...erg! What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
All of the following types of motorist are retards and should be harmed with blunt weapons:
1: Anyone who spies an oncoming red light and attempts to conserve inertia by never actually stopping but instead slowing down at 200 yards away, then slowly creeping up on the light, dragging the last fifty yards out forever at a whopping 3 mph. 2: Any nimrod who recklessly cuts through a gas station to avoid a red light. 3: People who urgently blaze by you on a two-lane highway, only to immediately move one car length in front of you, then maintain the exact posted speed limit the rest of the way - just because they had to be first. 4: Old people for whom 90% of the windshield is wasted because they insist upon driving by staring through the gaps in the steering wheel. 5: People who illogically conclude that, because most parking lots are private property, the laws of traffic conveniently vanish and that pedestrians only have themselves to blame. 6: People who dangerously surge out of driveways and parking lots, practically cutting you off, then refuse to make a legal right-on-red because it's obviously too much of a moral dilemma. 7: Anyone who parks diagonally across two spaces because, God help them, nothing shall ever touch their precious, precious Pontiac. 8: People who willfully torture a "captive audience" at a crowded red light by blasting their horrible preference in music at levels that rival commercial jet engines. 9: Anyone who notices a cop with a pulled-over motorist and immediately "plays it safe" by travelling at least fifteen miles below the posted limit, as though it's an elaborate ploy and the real troopers are hiding behind the next building. 10: Anyone who remains at a stop sign in the middle of fucking nowhere for more than three seconds. 11: Anyone with handicapped plates and a "No Fear" sticker in the rear windshield. How ya doing, buddy? |

And Three weeks later, some stupid dumb ass, decided to rear-end me. And surprise, the fucker was on his cell phone (and couldn't speak an ounce of english). Fucking assholes, if you can't walk and chew bubble gum at the same time, don't fucking drive and use cellphones. Just do one thing at a time if you're too retarded. Fucking two accidents, caused by cellphone wielding idiots. God damnit. Jam it back in, in the dark.

Anyway, I'll just chip in and say - old people. Get off the road. You can't drive for shit, you can't see shit, you don't signal, you never position the car properly and then almost ram me off the road every single time you finally decide where you want to go. That, and you always drive like 20kph below the limit. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Crash - slowing down to conserve momentum not only conserves a LOT of gas, for those of us with manual transmissions it saves a pile of wear on the clutch too, and those things aren't cheap. I won't be changing my habits any time soon. Also, Killy, engine braking is downshifting to slow down, and it doesn't save gas, it burns it. What Crash is describing is simply slowing down a bit and taking your foot off the gas to ensure that when the light turns green you're still rolling and you don't have to do a full start from stopped again. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

Once again proof that people really weren't paying attention when they learned to drive or didn't read the manual.....Don't put high beams on in fog and snow. It impairs vision--not enhances it.... My pet peeves: 1) Use the turn signal, jackass. (#1 pet peeve) 2) Yes, there are two rivers in this town. Stop driving slowly to stare at them. 3) Hey, it's great that you have friends, but call them when you get home, don't talk to each other while in your cars, blocking traffic. 4) Do you see a stop sign? No? Then go, for God's sake! It's a two-way stop, not a four-way. 5) You don't need to wait for a green-arrow to make a left-hand turn, dumbass. You CAN turn when you have a solid light and no one's coming. 6) Blinking red lights=stop. Blinking yellow=go. NOT the reverse.... Most amazing jew boots |

RR--This is the middle of town, a T-intersection. These people stop when they have right of way.

Nutty et al, more often than not I'm moving forward because the guy behind me is right on my ass and it's making me uncomfortable. Ie, suppose someone rear ends him, and because he's practically bumper to bumper, he rolls forward and rear ends me.
Other scenarios include, I've stopped but the guy behind me is approaching uncomfortably fast. And also inching forward because you see the opposite lights going yellow, in preparation for yours going green. Some larger intersections it's entirely possible to guess wrong and have some other light turn green instead of yours. Finally, if the guy in front of you inches forward, you don't have to. You can sit right where you are, and people behind you can deal. What pisses me off about traffic lights are the douche bags that either take awhile to start moving again, or accelerate way too slowly. Traffic lights can be great places to get around the slow fuck in the left lane that's been holding you up for 6 miles, provided you don't have a slow fuck in the right lane who's going to take his time pulling out of a traffic light. Ditto for toll booths. Get through one quick enough and you've got a painless merge. Get some douche in front of you who thinks the 5mph sign actually means something, and you'll have hell avoiding the rest of everybody who's going faster than you. And also Crash's mention of bumper stickers needs another mention here too. Christian bumper stickers are annoying as all fuck. Especially when the person driving them is going slow. It's bad enough I have to sit behind your fat ass, being unable to see any kind of traffic ahead because you're huge but on top of that, I have to read your tacky shit about how Jesus saves. I'd say even worse are the deliberately crass ones, because I can't understand what possible motivation there is to use them. "I like to fart?" The kind of person that thinks he should advertise that is the kind of person with whom I don't want to share my planet. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
