Some drivers ?

Some things I hate about some arrogant drivers.
1. Drivers that have to get in front of you on a highway. Then slow down.
2. Make a right hand turn from the left lane.
3. Tailgaters
4. Drivers doing anything but driving. On cellphone, texting, reading, eating etc..
5. Drivers that zip in & out going a bat at of Hell. Then these same morons you pass a few miles up the road..
6. Folks that double park when there are parking spots open about 15 feet away.
7. Folks that ride the passing lane.
8. Neighbors with multiple cars that think it's their God given to monopolize all the primo spots except their driveway.
9. Aggressively nut job drivers.
10. Drivers that don't the meaning of Stop & Yeild signs really mean.
11. Drivers that disregard a school bus flashing red lights and floor it on the way by.

Hey All,


I only use turn signals when I think it appropriate. Left or right turn off a two lane road warning people behind me - sometimes in crowded traffic - otherwise I generally don't. Presence of a police car does change that temporarily though. :happyyes:

I look at it this way. Suppose you are sitting at a stop sign wanting to turn left onto a fairly busy road. Now suppose it is common for cars to turn right up the road you are sitting at. Now lets suppose a car coming from the left turns on it's signal to turn right. Do you say whoo hoo and go risking him broadsiding you in the driver door or do you wait to see if he is really gonna turn right? I contend that if you wait not trusting him fully then you do not believe in turn signals and they are of no use. If you charge out you are probably a fool. So what good is a turn signal if you don't believe them? The other one is why have a turn signal on if you are in a left turn lane? Like you are gonna go straight where there is no lane. Good grief.

Oh an I don't cross at crosswalks either.

I have no problem with cars having turn signals as they can warn people but always use them - uh no.

The people who MUST turn around in the middle of the road/back up on the road because they missed their turn. Simply, find a safe spot to turn left, and then make the turn...but noooooooooooooooooo it MUST be done right THERE!

Worse are the ones who realize they're in the wrong lane (straight-ahead lane but have to make a left turn, for example), and instead of just going straight when the light turns green and going around the block, they wait at the intersection for oncoming traffic to clear and block everyone behind them.

All of the above plus people have absolutely no idea how to treat a 4 way stop when all 4 lanes are occupied. It's 2 then 2, not 1-2-3-4. Georgia also has a slow drivers stay out of the left lane law. My number one pet peeve. Even if you are exceeding the speed limit it's the law here to move over if a faster vehicle comes up behind you. The police are pretty aggressive in enforcing this but there are just too many violators. I've seen drivers ride for miles in the left lane holding up traffic then cross 3 or 4 lanes to exit.

Unique to Connecticut: swerving left before turning right (and vice versa)
That's in addition to all of the above deplorable characteristics.

Or the impatient ones who merge at the front of the line at an off ramp instead of waiting in line like everyone else.

Also, are cities running a racket where you have to catch every dang light on a major road? I swear they are all timed appropriately.

:lmao:

and... drivers that come screaming up to your back bumper at red light, not even starting to slow down until they are about a car length away. This has become somewhat commonplace here in the last couple years.

Note to these morons: Just because your vehicle can stop on a dime doesn't mean you have to prove it at every red light.

I was coming home from DC on the Baltimore-Washington Parkway once and in the right lane in nearly standstill traffic from it being rush hour and merges. As we approached an on ramp I watched several people jump out of line behind me, drive up onto the on ramp lane and fly down the on ramp so they could pretend they were actually legit cars trying to merge into traffic when all they were doing was trying to jump ahead. When I got up to the point where the merge took place I watched in my rear view (of my previous vehicle which was a lifted Grand Cherokee) I would let in all legit mergers. But then I watched this one guy pull out from way back and come flying up to merge and I wouldn't let him in.

He's one of those that just keep coming over and over no matter what. I laid on the horn and I put my window down and said, "you wouldn't have a merging problem if you didn't jump out of line way back there." He just looked at me with a disgusted look and I said, "My Jeep is paid off, fully insured, and I will run you over because I do not give a shit." There was a car behind me and a semi truck behind him and neither of them let him in either LOL.

TLDR: I hate people.

Unfortunately, most drivers are unaware of how merging is supposed to work in lane-ending situations. Drivers should utilize all open lanes of traffic up to the point of the merge, then take turns entering the open lane one at a time.

Zipper Merge

People who "leap-frog" gridlock using on/off ramps are not cool.

Southern California is Toyota Central: Toyota holds a 30% market share in California (more than twice the national average), and 50% of Prius sales are sold in this state.

Add to that the fact that Toyota tends to attract a type of driver who rather be doing something else but be at the wheel, and the end result is a collection of Prius holding up the passing lane on local freeways, Corollas stopping traffic in a late attempt to cross three lanes to turn into a shopping mall, and Camrys unaware that the light turned green...only to gun it as it turns red.

I especially love the smug Prius drivers who won't bother stopping at intersections because if drops their average fuel economy.

So that's why! Los Angeles home of the Prius! I swear that more times that not, the person doing the stupidiest moves will be in a Prius. My work commute is 6 miles one way, and I take the exact same route and yet every time, without fail. No signals? Prius. Unexpected lane change?...Prius. Under the speed limit...Prius. Wedging in without signals... Prius.

Good lord if jerks manifested into a car, they'd be a Prius. Fuel Economy does not mean you're exempt from the rules and courtesy of the road!

^ Connecticut variation on that last one: drive 10 mph below the speed limit for no reason, then run a red light to make up for lost time. I hate that state.
 
#20 ·
Drivers who can't stay within the confines of the white and yellow lines. Far too often do I enter a curve in the road and have to hit the brakes because the opposing driver is trying to "clip the apex". Same scenario when cresting a hill.
I despise lane drifters.
 
#21 ·
We can't forget when we are doorless and topless and your at a red light and some street bikes pull up next to you can keep revving out for whatever reason. And you can't hear yourself think!

I think most people think using turn signals is un-American. It's a sign of weakness. Real 'Mericans don't show their intentions!

Not just Americans, Canadians seem to subscribe to this same philosophy.

I wish the police would enforce all the rules of the road but only speeding seems to matter here.

My absolute *favorite* (note the sarcasm) is the a**hole that sits just to the rear of my blind spot as I'm rolling along with my cruise-control on. As I'm gradually getting closer to the car in front of me, I anticipate having to move left (I F*CKING HATE left lane cruisers!!!!) in order to pass said vehicle. Without warning, the car to the left, rear of me decides they need to speed up. Now, I have to either brake or cancel my cruise control, so douchey the wonder-driver can ever so slowly, take 3 miles to actually get far enough past my front bumper so I can change lanes and pass the car in front of me. Then they slow down...
:atomic:

The trailer I pull my jeep on is 102 inches wide and the tires stick out an inch or so from the fenders putting it at 104/105 total. Damned thing takes up the whole lane and requires your full attention to keep from drifting over into the next one on sharp turns. For some reason people feel the need to drive right beside it for miles at a time, even if we are the only two vehicles on the road.

I also can't stand people who cant drive a steady speed and are constantly passing you only to be passed a mile later while they are still in the passing lane.

Dont even get me started on people who speed up when you go to pass them, especially on a two lane road with a short passing zone.

I hate when drivers from the side streets decide to pull out in front of you them immediately make a turn left or right when theres no one behind you for like a half a mile!!.drivers while texting is the worse now when i see a driver texting i pull up next to them and lay on the horn

She is turning from one major street onto another, talking on her cell, while putting on eye makeup in the rearview, drifting from her lane into the other, steering with her elbows(?) and knee(?).

We stood and watched on the corner as she passed...speechless...

Or the Connecticut variant: people who drive 20 mph below the speed limit, then run a stop or red light to make up time.
