RANT: What do drivers do that irritate you?

[her209]

OK, so I admit I'm from Los Angeles, and the driving down here is not exactly perfect. But what are you going to do when there's 1 million cars on the road and the freeways/highways are designed by pre-schoolers

I hate it when drivers:
[*]drive on the shoulder to get ahead.
[*]don't signal when making a turn or changing lanes.
[*]make a left turn when they aren't supposed to.
[*]go 40mph (in a 65mph) on the freeway when traffic is "light" and no dangerous weather conditions
[*]park on the street when the sign clearly says NO PARKING.

There are more things but I can't think of them right now :|

Cut me off. I especially hate it when slow drivers insist on driving in the fast lane and will not change lanes.

 

[Aves]

All of the above.

I also hate when they ride my ass or intentionally speed up so that you can't get in front of them while getting on the freeway.

 

[XMan]

I hate it when people drive 10-15 miles below the speed limit in the left lane. It's usually . . . older folk.

 

[amdskip]

if someone rides my arse, I'll let them pass me for safety sake and then somewhat ride their arse:Q

 

[etech]

It just happened today. The guy sped up so he could cut in front of me and then less than half a block later slammed on his brakes to make a right turn. There was no one behind me so he got to turn all of two seconds faster than if he had just pulled in behind me.

 

[propellerhead]

People going 5 miles over the speed limit, in the passing lane while the right lane is empty, thinking they are already going fast and no one should be passing them.

Women putting on make up while driving on the freeway.

 

[pulse8]

There's not enough hard drive space on the forums for me to list them all.

 

[Hossenfeffer]

I get sick of morons, blinded by the illusion of speed, that think by riding my bumper (or cutting around me and riding the next guy's bumper) that they'll get where they're going any sooner. Just wanna dope slap 'em, partially because I'm sure they think I'm some sort of idiot for not tailgating the guy in front of me.

Play earth shattering subwoofers while driving through my neighborhood.

You know, "the kind you hear all the way up the block. "

The left lane being used for anything but passing is the most annoying thing on the road by far.

 

[kerokeroppi82]

When ppl drive below the speed limit on the carpool lane...

 

[gopunk]

i'm a very tolerant driver... but there is one thing that i can absolutely not stand, and that is when people fail to signal. that irritates me to no end.

• Don't use blinkers[/li[
• Ride on the lines[/li]
• Ride my ass[/li]
• Cut me off[/li]
• SPEED UP WHILE I AM PASSING THEM, ESPECIALLY WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC[/li]

I'm sure there are more, but I can't think of them right now.

 

[Zipp]

My worst rant is people who run red lights. I think there should be at least a $300 fine for that violation. I did 6 months of rehab because of some jerk decided not to stop .

 

[Angrymarshmello]

Women drivers who bob and weave like teenage boys do - that makes me so mad for some reason

most definitely, these people dont even appreciate the actual music, they just turn it up to show off their equipment. they think loud bass equals= good system. well news flash, music is much more than just loud bass.

ALL of the above + when people come to a complete stop to make a turn :| (exception being when they are required to... i.e. red light, stop sign, whatever)

 

[ohtwell]

Speed past you and then when they get in front of you intentionally slow down.
Pull out in front of you (making you hit the brakes) and then go real slow.
Completely stop when turning even though they don't need to.
Apply makeup or brush hair while driving.
Drive too fast in parking lots.

Plus all of the above.

Well, watching someone play cards with his wife is pretty wild... While driving through I 5 in the Grapevine...

 

[b0mbrman]

Not signal...biggest one for me

 

[Wolfsraider]

all of the above but the most irritating is the cell phone talkers who are too involved in the conversation
to realize that
a:traffic is moving but their not
b:that they are stopped in the middle of the road (no light or stop sign)
c:that you are patiently waiting for them to go
d:the light was red before they drove into the intersection and hollered at you to"learn to drive"

also road rage

i drive a truck for a living and my biggie is:

a little car whips around me then stops to make a turn wtf try stopping a truck 8 tons in time before hitting them it happens at least 10 times a week and i drive at the speed limit or above if traffic is doing above lol

 

[ShallowHal]

Talking on the cell phone and TRYING to drive at the same time. Most people think they drive just fine while talking on the phone but THEY DON'T.

 

[her209]

Oh, one more too add. When people forget to turn off their signal... that is freaking irritating.
