Driving Pet-Peeves

[pcman2002b]

Okay, I want to hear what really ticks you off when you're driving. The kind of stuff people do that makes you want to run them off the road and wrap their sky blue Honda Civic around a telephone pole. (sky blue Honda Civic, used as a somewhat true stereotype if you drive a blue Civic and drive well I mean no offense)

Mine is when people (usually old) anticipate a light turning yellow, they are like 50 feet from it, its still green and they start friggin' breaking even though there isn't a sould in front of them.

1) people who use their highbeams when following you/coming at you. Its not that hard to flick them off
2) slow drivers in the fast lane

 

[ThisIsMatt]

People who wait to go at a stop sign until I come to a complete stop.
People who wait to go at a stop sign until another car, obviously going an unobstructing direction, gets through the intersection.
People who don't use their blinkers when you're waiting at a stop sign/light.
People who act as keepers-of-the-speed.
People who don't move over on the freeway.
People who don't move over when you're trying to merge and their is plenty of room in the left lane for them.
People who brake on the freeway when it's really not necessary.

I could go on...

#1 petpeeve: when other people are driving on the road.


Think I'm kidding?

 

[jw791]

On a 2 lane interstate when a truck doing 61 decides to pass a truck doing 60 when the speed limit is 75.

 

[rudeguy]

people who pretty much make a complete stop in the middle of the road...then get in the left turn lane...thats what that lane is there for...get the f*ck over already!!!!

I hate when people have dents, bubbles, ripples, waves, stickers, or rust on their car.

Hey, I have an '88 Buick. Do you know how hard it is to keep up after the rust on them stupid things, you scrape it down to much and your whole damn door is gone!

As long as the car's not smoking or falling apart, I really don't care if there are rust spots on other people's cars.

if you are not passing others at a significant speed, get the hell OUT of the left lanes

Speaking of that, what the heck is the deal with limiting trucks to 55 or 60 mph? It's nuts, you're cruising down the highway in one of these states and some truck required to do 10mph slower trys to pass some other truck. Why can't they just let the trucks drive the same speed as the cars?!?!?

Because it's dangerous. Duh!

Because these particular states seem to think that these truck driver's extended experience on the road (usually several years) is particularly dangerous.

I am really hating the morons who try to merge into 65MPH traffic going about 40MPH, of course they never even check the traffic flow until they hit the end of the on ramp.

Upon further consideration, I could fill up a book with all the dumbass crap people pull behind the wheel of a car. There used to be a really funny AOL members page concerning dumbass drivers, wish I would have bookmarked it.

 

[jteef]

my biggest is when somebody passes me and then starts driving slower than I was going.

When people turning left onto road A from road B (which has a stop sign) start going after seeing I'm slowing down to turn left onto road B from road A. Then they give me a dirty look after almost running into my side. This happens to me like every day ..

That's the point. The speed difference is far more dangerous. Many many accidents occur because of speed differences.

I drive a lot. I'd say maybe half of that list I encounter everyday...

 

[illusion88]

I really hate people who dont use a turn signal, and cut you off. YOU FVCKERS!!!
I hate it when people change lanes, but dont fully merge and thus driving in the middle of the lane. LEARN TO CHANGE LANES YOU FVCKERS!!!
I hate it when people go slower then the speed limit. Although I do admit, when I drive my dads truck (2002 tundra) and its narrow, I go slow... So I have exceptions to new drivers and people in larger cars.
I hate it when people cant park, except excesivly large cars because I know what thats like. LEARN TO PARK YOU FVCKERS!

I hate everyone who does ANYTHING wrong in front of me. YOU FVCKERS LEARN HOW TO DRIVE!!!!!!!1

 

[Kemosabe1447]

I can't stand when people all drive the same speed yet they all have to be in different lanes, and not let you by. It sucks.

 

[Imported]

When at a stop sign and I stop, then go.. then the fvcker coming the other side decides to make a left turn without signaling after you're already almost halfway through..

People who try to merge in front me when THEY are SUPPOSED to YIELD to ME, such as on a freeway.

People who don't know how to fvcking aim their headlights.

And people who don't know how to fvcking park their cars in TWO parallel lines.
