What kind of drivers do you HATE most?

Bugs up my rear:

1--The general inability for women drivers to "go around". Any time someone is either turning left or double parked on the right, they have no ability to go around the car. They always sit and wait for the hand of God to miraculously lift them up and over the obstruction.

2--Anyone who waits until the light turns green to turn on their left turn blinker. No explanation necessary.

3--The guy to whom rules don't apply. Especially those who wait until the very last second to merge, thus worsening the congestion.

4--Most taxi drivers.

5--Rice rockets flying lane to lane.

6--Non-left lane tailgaters.

7--Obsessive lane jumpers at toll booths. Just stay put, you're not saving any time.

 

Forgot one--Parking lot grand prix drivers who seize the opportunity to recoup all the time they've wasted that day by driving 40 mph the wrong way down the parking lot lanes.

 

How about the ****** that is about 4 cars back from the front of a line of cars turning left on a green arrow. The light turns green and the first 3 cars move out. ****** #4 is talking to her mother on the phone and takes 10 seconds to react to the light. She finally gets moving and cars #4, #5 and #6 make it through the light.




Of course, you are #7 in line.

 

I hate people who will ride your butt when there is more than plenty of room to go around. I drive fast; usually well above the speed limit, if you come up on me like a bat out of hell, GO THE **** AROUND. I do it when I come up on people doing the speed limit, I just go around, signal and everything there’s no need to ride someone butt.

I can stand the ones that fail to merge at the speed of traffic. I cant count the number of accidents I have seen caused by this

I know some of you live around here. When you’re getting off of 280 south at Stevens creek, but you turn right to get onto Lawrence express way, you have your own lane, yet people come to complete stops. I have seen numerous accidents at that spot because people stop.

One thing that personally gets me is bikes, not motorcycles but people on bikes. I know I know “share the road”. The one’s in the middle of a driving lane… your not doing thirty get out of the lane, there’s a bike lane for you, use it. Or they ride four wide with two and a half being in the driving lane. They have the nerve to give you dirty looks or even flip you off, one of these days I will lose it and introduce one of these pompous bikers to the forces of physics, man vs. car… man always loses.

Mr. "It's my G*d-given right to stay in the passing lane is an idiot" meet Mr. "I hate people who will ride your butt when there is more than plenty of room to go around"

 

It is called the passing lane for a reason.

 

I gotta tell ya right off the bat - the best title is definitely #5) - Mr "She canna take much more cap'n!"

Dear Mr. "Gated Community Drafter" -

Please stay off my ass, there's yet another speed bump comin' right up.

 

How about Mr. Stop at the Yield sign. I hate this guy. Traffic is moving and should you even attempt to merge into the lane, you should get in without failure. Don't stop at the bottom of an on-ramp where the people are coming up behind me (who is sitting behind you) at 40 mph and have to stop to 0 in a second, b/c you HAVE to wait for a football long entrance in traffic to consider moving again.

 

I hate the guys, usually in big f'n trucks, who blow the 3-way stop signs. We've got half-dozen up the hill here, and apparently it's too much inertial to even bother these guys. Worst when they're on the cell-phone and run over small imports or two. see this at least a couple times a week - including through the school zones.

being passed at 3x the speed limit in a school zone on a double yellow at one of the above mentioned stop signs.

running reds, racing ambulances with the lights lit...

ohh, the list is so long!

 

it seems all pick up trucks drive at least 10-15 mph over any posted speed limit. i usually poke around at or a little under the posted speed on surface streets. i'll never understand why some nit wit has to climb up my ass and whip around me just so they can get to the next red light. i love it when i coast up next to them just as the light turns green and i don't even touch my brakes. i usually pull away from stop light easily, it's not a drag race to the next light but these jerks are in my trunk and as soon as they can they change lanes, usually cutting someone in the other lane off, just to get one car space ahead and then hit their brakes to avoid the next car in line.
don't most cars today have cruise control? when i'm on the highway i use mine a lot. i set it, usually 7 to 10 mph over the posted speed, and yet when i try to pace other cars they rarely maintain a constant speed. don't people use their cruise control? a while back there was a comedian who said everyone should have magnetic arrows and when they see bad driving they would shoot the arrows sticking them to the offending vehicle. when a cop sees a car with ten or so arrows that driver should be pulled over and beaten soundly. doesn't it seem odd that every driver who's going slower then me is a idiot and every driver who's going faster then me is a damn fool.

 

Anybody in front of me.

 

Women.

 

+1

I also have issues with the opposite, Mr. Yield Sign Means Merge. No, it doesn't! It means stop if there is not room to safely merge in. And I don't consider it safe to merge just because my reaction time is quick enough for me to slam on brakes to miss the idiot who blows through the yield sign with impunity.

 

ones that sit in the fast lane on the highway and go 1-2 miles over the speed limit....and are completely oblivious to flashing lights, horn, and the pile of cars trying to go around them.

 

There are so many....too many to list right now. However, my 2 biggest driving pet peeves would have to be:

ANYBODY driving and talking on their cellphone...whether they are doing something stupid or not...and no, having a hands-free device is still dangerous and stupid. Can't stand it.


Another I have encountered many times on a daily basis since moving down to LA:
Traffic is moving at a reasonable speed, a little below(traffic), at, or a little higher than the speed limit.
I am in the farthest left lane. There are people in front of me. There is a safe distance between me and the car in front of me...a couple car lenghts. There is someone behind me...riding my butt.

So, even though there are cars in front of me...they decide that they can arrive at their destination so much faster if they can get in front of me...so they try. They whip into the lane to the right and speed up...even though there is clearly another car in that lane....that is about matching the speed to the car in front of me. So, they have no choice but to cut me off...which was their plan all along, or slow down and get back in behind me...because I have sped up so they can't get in I know...it's a d*ck move...but I really can't stand people that try it-I just don't understand how they think getting one more car length is going to make much of a difference.


Oh, and these people could be either women......or men! I know that may be hard for some of you to wrap your heads around

**Hope I don't offend anyone in saying that-but another thing I can't stand is sexism**

 

The ones I hate are when I am at an stop sign on a onramp. I go to the end of the onramp to get up to speed and the idiot behind me on the on ramp speeds up and cuts me off. I have to slam on the brakes because he's sitting in my lane on the highway and I have no more room on the onramp. Then I'm stuck there unable to see if there is any traffic so I can't pull out.

 

From the previous posts, I know I'm someone's nightmare.

But......driving in the CARPOOL lanes in LA, toddling along at 75-80mph (still above the limit), and you get people who jam their bumpers up your rear. Ummmmm, excuse me.......it's a >>CARPOOL<< lane, not the fast lane, passing lane, or personal warp speed lane.

 

Lets see -

1. People who don't use their turn signals

2. Slow people in the fast lane when theres enough space in the right lane to pull over and let faster traffic by.

3. When you go to pass someone one in a passing zone, and they try to speed up on you so you can't pass.

4. Women (mostly that I've noticed) in SUVs & Minivans that don't look where their going when they change lanes.

5. Ricers sitting in traffic revving their engines with no where to go.

6. "Blue hairs" in big Cadillacs , that can barely see over the steering wheel , driving 5mph under the speed limit.

 

Wow.....

So much to say.....Bikers that think they are cool zipping around freely, in the face of danger. And YOU have to watch out for THEM.

People talking on cell phone, at the expense of road/driving responsibilities.

Car in front of you constantly applying brakes.........too many to go on and on with........

 

Karl Benz said less that 10% of persons will actually really know how to drive a car.

 

As long as he is not in the passing lane expecting faster traffic to pass him on the right . People who believe that they are going fast enough for everyone, therefore park themselves in the left lane setting the left-lane speed limit - absolutely infuriate me! They should be shot on the spot.

It's a rather simple concept; pull into the left lane to pass - make sure someone is not coming up quickly in that lane first - make your pass, and then get out of that lane as soon as possible. Very, very simple. Don't stay in that left lane because you feel you are going fast enough.

 

Does anyone hate those stop-lights that are on on-ramps? I ****ing hate those things, and fail to see how they help at all.

 

Me too! ah!

 

1)Tailgaters, agressive driving where they get behind you and expect that you move for them if not they will move closer. they try and rush you.

2)Idiot teenagers who have the whole car pack full of idiots and thinks the road is theirs with no regard to anyone else on the road.

3)Morons on the Cell phones while driving.

4)They see you putting on the signal and there about 4cars back and you try and merge and dumbasses try and pass you from behind and its like WTF??? or they try and cut you off from the back by not letting you merge unless they pass you forcing you to speed up.

5)Ricers racing through traffic.

6)Speeders that do atleast 20+ over the speed limit.

7)Truck drivers who think they own the road just because they got a large vehicle.

8)People who wait until the last minite to use there signal light or not at all.

9)Those in parking lots just pullout without looking to see if anyone else is coming they just go.

10)18wheelers who drive in the residental neighborhoods.

Last but not least the damn police sometimes gets on my nerves where they start fallowing you around just to see if you break the law.

 

You have now entered the fine line of road rage.....If you think about how bad others are driving, you will end up in a mental institute! If you want proper driving, you have to move out of the states. US has no care who drives(Illegals with no insurance for starts), old people who never have to take a test to see if they can still drive, true mentally challenged people etc. Blah blah blah, I hate people who run stop signs and pull in front of you!
