Drivers that piss me off

[Stevendsmith]

What pisses me off is when you need to make a rightward lane change, and there’s ample room in the lane for you get in, but the asswipe in that lane, a car length or two back, accelerates to prevent you from making the lane change, simply because he or she is a selfish prick who doesn’t want to you to get in.

That really makes my blood boil.

[MrCoffee]

1. mine is the asshat who needs 50 car lengths before they get over.

you've got the room, dickhead, get over!

[Zavulon]

2. I will do that if

you're one of those who sees a bunch of cars slowed to idle as they're trying to get on a ramp, so you get outside the lane to speed by a long row of cars and try to squeeze your way in at the end. I waited my turn and you've gotta wait yours.

Under normal driving conditions, though, I agree with you.

3. Ummm...yeah...

For that maneuver, you need to drive like we do here in Upstate New York, don't use your directionals. That way, no one knows that you are trying to move into their lane therefore they can't accelerate and prevent you from going into their lane.

[MrCoffee]

4. never signal a lane change until you're halfway there.

[photogirl12]

5. and then

only use half a blink of a turn signal...I know all those tricks.

[Kutjara]

6. And then, if you're like the average driver here in CA,

leave your turn signal on for the next fifty miles.

[MrCoffee]

7. that should give me the right to ram you into a retaining wall.

[Kutjara]

9. That would be fitting punishment.

As a recent arrival here in LaLa Land, I'm actually amazed at the large number of cars that drive around with their signals on. It's like some secret sign or something. When I first got here, I would slow down and leave space for the person to come into my lane, then sadly shake my head and overtake when I realized they were totally oblivious to not only their signal, but anything else except the phone glued to their face. Now, I generally assume that most turn signals on the freeway are unintentional, left on from the moment the car first merged onto the road. Anyone actually changing lanes just grabs the wheel and swerves, no signal required.

8. and don't forget

if you see someone coming into your lane, speed up and blare the horn at them.

15. I loathe Upstate, New York driving...

Rochester, NY -home of the Winter and Construction seasons.

17. eh, it's not so bad...

once everyone who can't handle the snow gets out of your way! It's weird, some of the people in my area have lived up here their whole lives and they still can't handle it when the snow starts to fly. Just a few snowflakes and they have to drive 25mph in the left lane of the highways!!

10. I had a woman tailgating me in a huge SUV...

...the other day, while having a blazing row into her cellphone. She was about a foot off my bumper at 70mph, screaming and waving her 'free' arm around. I changed lanes to get away from the lunatic, and she pulled right in behind me. I had to manuver about three times to scrape the stupid mare off my bumper and latch her onto some other poor soul.

There needs to be a national advertising campaign that tells America' "You Car Is Not Your Livingroom".

11. Oh, come on now,

it could have been worse, she could have been putting on her makeup, fixing her hair, yelling at someone on the cell phone eating her breakfast and tailgating you at the same time. Really, it could have been much worse! :D

[MrCoffee]

12. breakfast! i see people driving with a big bowl of cereal in their lap.

CEREAL! how the hell do you eat cereal while driving a car? but there they are, shoveling it in.

[photogirl12]

13. I kinda remember

someone eating a meal with a knife and fork while driving. At least I think that was what I saw in my rear view mirror...

[AllegroRondo]

16. I saw someone reading the paper a couple weeks ago

had the thing unfolde and sprawled across the steering wheel.

[photogirl12]

19. yes, i have seen that too

Along with novels and roadmaps - the entire thing spread across the entire width of the interior!

[Ptah]

14. Drivers that piss me off are the ones that drive

through my pedestrian right-of-way.


Hey, I'm walking here!

[MrCoffee]

18. how about the ones who pull into the cross-walk so they can turn

[Ptah]

20. Yea, it's those ********.

Kill your car!

[sakabatou]

21. I almost got killed twice

because they didn't slow down when turning right.

[Jamastiene]

22. You are speaking my language.

I hate that too. I also hate the ones who tailgate when they have other lanes they could switch to instead of annoying me. I wish I knew someone who could make a custom bumper sticker for me that says, "Hey, ass sniffer, back off. I have gas, ya know." Also, I'd like one that says, "Exit only. If you ride my ass, I'm slowing to a crawl on purpose. Really want to start with me?"

23. Assclowns that don't use their directional

Especially when I'm obviously waiting to pull out of a side street and they're pulling into it but they don't use their directional so by the time I know they're turning, it's too late to pull out because I'll get creamed by the guy behind them.

Morans who pull into the passing lane to get by the big truck and then SLOW DOWN. It's like they're afraid the truck is going to jump on them. Well, fucktard, you're right next to it now! Pass or get out of the fucking way!

Idiots who don't know how to merge - they get to the end of the ramp and stop! Brilliant - now how the hell do you think you're going to pull out into 80 mph traffic?


People who drive like a snail right up until the moment you pull out to pass them. Then they speed up and won't let you by. :eyes:

[alarimer]

24. Some guy (I guess) pissed me off today

I was going the speed limit (30) on a small street where cops LOVE to give speeding tickets so it is best to do the speed limit there. About 1/4 mile from the light, this jackass passed me (in a no-passing zone), only to be stopped at the red light. I laughed my ass off.

[photogirl12]

25. aaah yes,

life can be brutally funny sometimes! I especially like it when someone races past me only to get slowed down and blocked into their lane by a little old lady in her Lincoln. :rofl:

26. Flag waving repugs driving like terrorists

There ought to be a law. If you are going to display the flag show law abiding respect.
