Driving pet peeves

[IGASAURUS]

Pisses me off to no end when people:

-Drive in the fast lane the same speed as they one they are "passing," and it ends up taking 3 miles until they get by.
-Go the same speed as you or all hesitant like, wanting to get into your lane, but oh no they don't have their blinker on. I'm not a mind reader.
-Put their blinker on after they are braking and in the MIDDLE of their turn. What's the point by then?
-Are old and drive.
-Go under the speed limit.

:gah:

I'm sure there are many more but these are the most recent ones that have pissed me off.

[MrGolen]

there are too many to list.

:pancake: :driving: :rally:

[istupid98]

just people that ride my ass in my van
people that stop all of the sudden when i am going 90 behind them
people that pull out in front of me slowly

[MX6]

anyone else on the road that isn't a car packed with college hotties flashing and honking...

[Triple Five]

People on cell phones

All of those dude plus..

-Cannot use the merge lane because they're huge *****'s and hold traffic up.
-Switch lanes coming to a stop light into your lane because it's shorter. I just hate it when they do it at the last minute, totally screws you.
-Not using blinkers.
-Drifting wide and not staying in their lane while exiting a stop light turn. It's mainly gay when you're trying to make a right on a red and the faggots who have a left green opposite of you are drifting super wide .
-People who accelerate super fast but then go slow, so they'll holeshot you but just drive like a turd. Sucks especially going onto a 1 lane road.
-MINIVANS. I don't know what it is, but for some reason they drive so freakin fast around their native suburb areas where they feel comfortable. They usually do all the things listed too and more. They're a breed of their own.

[MeatLoad]

Oh yea, I drive a big van too. So I have people always trying to pull out in front of me and stuff because they think I'm gonna be really slow, but then they just hold me up forever.

[NwMoto471]

I hate it when you're driving up a street and other cars coming up on the cross streets act like they aren't going to stop and then do at the last second. I hate that so much. I also hate it when people drive like its summer time during a blizzard.

[757]

Here in pueblo (the no license/ illegal immigrant / no insurance capitol of colorado) we have morons that
A) stop at the end of an on ramp because they dont know how to get to the speed of traffic
B) travel side by side of the car next to them, both going 10 under
C) stop with their car hanging out into the intersection, bigtime pain in the ass if youre making a left at the stoplight.

[motodrew295]

I absolutly hate rolling road blocks.

find the throttle or get in the right lane, that simple. getting cut off on my street bike sucks I have to ride super defensive.

people who have to make a complete stop to make any sort of a turn.

people who hesitate, thats what causes most wrecks... just pin it.

What I do to piss people off:

Ride asses

brake late coming up to stop signs to scare people into thinking im not going to stop.

if its going to be a tie coming up to a 4 way stop sign and I'm to the left I come to my stop way early so I can get back on the gas.

use my blinker least as possible.

cut people off coming up to a stop light to get pole position.

if people are in my way i usually motion for them to move and they usually abide, have found this works well recently. I get real fired up when I drive there are a lot of retards out there.

[Sheriff]

When I'm in my car:
- People who slow down in the merge line as to let you pass before they get on the highway, but get on anyway
- people who don't turn right on red lights
- Chicks who put on their makeup while driving (cell phone is prohibited while driving but reading and putting on makeup is not. Go figure)
- People who accelerate when you're trying to pass them, or pass you back, then slow down so you have to pass them again
- Ricers that rev the **** out of their engines but hit the rev limiter for like 5 seconds before shifting
- People who go super fast on boulevards with synchronized lights, then stop at every light. When you try to go the right speed and keep it, you always have to stop behind these bozos.

When I ride my bicycle:
- Ricers
- People who cut me
- People who push me against the sidewalk
- People (mostly women) who honk when they see me because they are surprised something that doesn't have 4 wheels and a motor can be on the road
- People who purposely cut me at intersections (happens all the time)
- Parts manufacturers who cannot invent an air horn for bikes that would be practical enough so it can be used while you're braking (I'll have to invent that during my holidays).

[ryan_625]

I hate almost every situation we get in while driving our motorhome. people automatically assume were gonna go slow. ive been cut off so bad in it that i practically killed some dude who then went 5 under, and those things are ****ing hard to pass in, specially dragging a 20ft trailer! :upset:

In my truck, i tend to be an aggressive driver. like drew said I will shoot for pole position, late brake people, and depending where im at i prefer not to use a blinker, my lights are blacked out anyways :lol:

also i cannot stand the following:
-illeagles with no licenses (lots around here)
-s****y hondas with beancan exhausts
-old people driving
-people that speed up when you pass then brake check when you dont
-rolling roadblocks (i now have a louder horn, and if i need them some KC hilights)
-people that bright me when mine arent on
im sure ill think of more later

[Kenny]

People that pull out in front of me every time I run a red light.

use my blinker least as possible. (That's intelligent)

cut people off coming up to a stop light to get pole position.(By doing this, you decrease the following drivers stopping distance. Even though it is always the fault of the rearending driver, this is where it's the diick that got rear ended that is at fault.)

if people are in my way i usually motion for them to move and they usually abide, have found this works well recently. I get real fired up when I drive there are a lot of retards out there.(who the eff do you think you are?)

Pet peeves of mine include lots of what dipshiz above does. I can summarize my peeves by saying I hate jackholes that drive like they are alone on the road or that they deserve to be alone on the road. Oh, and I hate the idiots that are so safe they are dangerous.

[MX113]

In addition to everything that already been posted, here's mine:

I cannot stand people who speed through 25 MPH residential zones. Even more annoying, when they tailgate you while your doing 25 in your own neighborhood and then try to pass you on the residential (no defined lanes) street. Even more annoying, when they get onto the highway, they seem to lose their desire to speed and they cannot even get their cars up to the speed limit.

My new solution: If people are tailgating me in the neighborhood, I come to a complete stop in the middle of the road before I turn into the driveway. I ususually only do it for a few seconds to piss them off, but if they honk, I throw the truck into park and enjoy a nice soda until the next car comes along.

[nine7ate]

Here there are alot of roads with 70 or 65 MPH speed limits with alot of roads coming onto them and people have a tendency to pull in front of you doig 45 all the way to town. Then when you go to pass them, they speed up. Or after you do pass them and continue on with the speed limit, they tailgate you.

Also, we have gravel on the side of the roads and people like to be on the phone and ride the center line or side of the road and kick up gravel all over your windshield. That's awesome.

Also there seems to be a problem with people who tow trailers and the trailer light don't work. MAKE SURE YOUR DAMN LIGHTS WORK!

Oh, and people who try to run you off the road when you go around them when they are turning. Turn and go the fu*k home.

You and me are one in the same drew. Pole position makes dealing with idiots all the much easier by allowing you to get infront of them/piss them off at the same time.
As for the late stops at stop signs, did that today in my work truck at a blind intersection and saw some guy literally **** his pants when he came around...totally made my day. I say why should I be so courteous with all the dbags out there on the road. I'm a great driver so why shouldn't I be able to have some fun and make driving a little easier on myself.:thumbsup:

Only thing on that list I don't do is ride asses, if I have someone doing that to me I just throw on the brakes for a few quick seconds and they usually cut it.

Biggest pet peeves:
1) When people arent paying attention driving on the highway and drift into you lane. Some scary **** when an 18 wheeler almost mashes you into the barrier doing 80 on the turnpike cuz the jackoff being the wheel is too busy talking to his buddies on the cb.:confused:

2) As soon as the light turns green people start blowing their horns if you don't drop the hammer. Whenever that happens I'll just wait till the light turns yellow and then go so they get stuck behind me.

3) Turning left whenever it obviously says "NO TURN ON LEFT" at the ****ing light.

4) In the center lane waiting for the next car in opposing traffic to come by so I can make a left hand turn only for them to throw their blinker on at the last second and make the turn themselves.

5) People who will drive right into the middle of an intersection despite the fact that they know they can only make it 1/2 of the way through before they hit more traffic and are now blocking the whole intersection.

Exactly, I'm totally confident in my driving skills, not over confident just enough to know my limits of screwing off. I only ride asses when people are going 5 under the speed limit or pull out in front of me. I live in a somewhat rural community so making double line, or shoulder passes usually result.

[jnickell]

Nice rip on me, that was pretty good. :lol: BTW, there isn't any hatred here. I was young once too and it wasn't that long ago. I totally understand the youthful mindset. It is sometimes self centered and always unwise.


I am confident in my driving ability as well. I am only the guy in the way when the guy trying to pass me is driving like an ass. It is RARE that people pass me. I drive aggressively but I will not cut other people off due to immature impatience nor will I bonzai down the shoulder to do so either. I understand that the people driving like poosies are most of the problem because they cause so much chaos by being overly cautios. People like you two are the other problem. You're out there chopping stopping distances in half, scaring the piss out of crappy drivers who overreact, which causes more chaos. Drive aggressively, that's fine. Just don't act like you're the only good drivers on the road.
I'll quote your obvious arrogance here Drew. "I'm totally confident in my driving skills, not over confident just enough to know my limits of screwing off. I only ride asses when people are going 5 under the speed limit or pull out in front of me."

Let's break this down. First off, I don't doubt your driving skill. What I do doubt, is your decision making ability. Second, riding someones ass puts the ball in their court. All you need is for someone to smash the brakes and you are through. Third, you only do it when someone is going 5 under or they pull out in front of you. Well, well, well. You don't like getting cut off by the jerk that zips in front of you any more than anyone else. Take a second to realize that you've said that pulling in front of people is one of the things you do purposely. Pot, meet Kettle. Lastly, claiming to not be overconfident while admiting that you ride asses on the road is as contradictory as it gets. If your weren't overconfident, you wouldn't ride asses. Again, you put the ball in their court when you do that. Don't tell me you'll be able to react in time, you may be a good driver but you're not super human. This isn't NASCAR where the guy you are tailgating is doing his best to go as fast as the car will go. We're talking about Aunt Gertrude who will lock up the brakes because she saw a cat on the side of the road.

P.S.
Yes, I was bored. I typed all that because I had to get to a client by 5:30 AM. I got there and the tech support people I was supposed to talk to on the phone, were all in a frigin meeting so I was sitting there with nothing to do when I should have been sleeping.

2) As soon as the light turns green people start blowing their horns if you don't drop the hammer. Whenever that happens I'll just wait till the light turns yellow and then go so they get stuck behind me.

i love doing that to people when they pull crap like that. good way to get people to stop tailgating you too

[Demon]

I drive defensively, don't brake people or honk the horn when they do something stupid I just let them go. People get shot regulurly on the 110 which is what I take to work, knowing that puts things in perspective. I don't even like cars running parallel with me.

[offspring22]

^ definitely. When cars pull up next to me I get nervous and hover over the brake. ****ing gangs.

I can't really say what hasn't been said already. I loathe people who go too slow in the fast lane, people who wait until the LAST minute to put on a blinker, people who start braking for a light/sign WAY too early.

I only drive like a psychopath when someone is failing. The main road by my house is routinely transited by idiots going 5-10 under the speed limit. If I can't pass I'll do the usual weaving back and forth, bright flashing, tailgating, etc. Sometimes in the height of my rage, it's my goal to freak them out and get them into some sort of accident.
:upset:

*deep breath*

:embarrassed:

:nuts:

[ryan_625]

i get the same way when people purposly mess with my or drive terribly. i live in a tourist town and deal with some of the worst drivers ever! i hate when there are so many cars its just pointless to even pass.

another good method of getting people to let me by that iuse when completely necessary is the kc hilights mounted to the front of my truck...they make daylight :lol:

:nuts::eww:I used to have this impression sir spring was a cool cucumber...
For me it's people that get too arrogant while they're driving. Like honking horns, brake checking, **** like that, especially when they pull out something similar to indycar to pass you in a 50km/h township and then pull into their driveway 50m ahead of you. Anyone ever get that? Btw are random shootings really that bad over there? The most road rage I've ever experienced is when a truck just about mashed us on the motorway so the guy that was driving the car i was in waited for a red light, jumped out of the car and up onto the truck with a crowbar but the trucker just jumped the light and got the hell outa there haha:lol:

[offspring22]

Many gangs over here cap people while driving as an initiation thing.

[Tenacious K]

So just random people they don't even know? Thats sickening man. I knew its pretty ruff in the ghetto areas over there but I figured most of it is over hyped a little bit :(

[Demon]

It happens, latino gangs also target random blacks. Out the millions that live here it happens to less than 50 but still in some areas the odds are more likely i.e. South LA vs Beverly Hills. I drive through rough areas at night I just stay on main streets and mind my own business.

[Patrick]

When people enter the freeway at 45 miles per hour.

[USMC-171]

if i was a cop i'd pull everybody over that went slower than the speed limit. i drive defensively but damn orlando is effing loaded with people. its enought o mazke you old with all the people here

You're lucky that Florida has posted minimum speed limits. In New Jersey, no such thing exists.

[USMC-171]

minimums only exist on ze highways and bighways....that sucks to hear about new jersey though, glad i livr in ze south...l **** im still drunk woohoo i still have wine yet to break into!!

[Triple Five]

I ****ing hate it when people in the left hand turning lane sleep at the ****ing light and it screws people behind them.

Be ****ing considerate. What I've been doing is getting on the horn as soon as it turns green to wake people up.


I used to have a pretty big problem with road rage. I would put myself in pretty dangerous situations just because I was so angry. I would really try to get people back for ****ing me over and found out pretty quickly that I could wad up some stuff really easy being a dumb ass.

[Daniel]

Female drivers. Period. Someone cuts you off? It's probably a girl. Someone drifts over into your lame? It's probably a girl on her cell phone. Someone almost rear ends you while you're coming to a complete stop on a "turn on red?" Estrogen driven car.

I also really hate it when someone gets all speed racer and pulls out in front of you really quick (coming out of, let's say, a gas station), and then they decided that their speed demon days are over. Okay, why were you in such a hurry to get in front of me, yet you're not in too big of a rush to keep on going?

Must have been a girl..

i don't like when big semis ride my a-double s when i'm already going like 65. when they do that i just put my cruise control to like 55 and watch them suffer. it's too funny bc the road in front of my house is super curvy and theres nowhere to pass so they suffer for a good 15 minutes :)

There aren't a lot of hills around where you live are there? I ask because when I go to Pennsylvania with all the hills/mountains the semi's always try to get a good run going downhill so they can make it up the next incline without having to shift down too much. So I usually move out of their way when I see them coming.

If there's no hills where you are then they're probably just morons. :-D
