I show people my bird too. It's a talking parrot and it flys into the other car and says F U.

I do the same Roger.

Ditto, had someone recover from the brake slam and then come roaring down the road to curse me off. I just smiled and waved.

I'm courteous enough on the road that if I see a car that needs to merge, I'll slow down to let them in front of me. However, it pisses me off to no end, if the merged car now drives well below the speed limit, forcing me to change lanes, speed up, and pass them anyways.

I HATE it when people turn right into a shopping center, or driveway, and basically slow down to 2mph to make the turn, which basically makes you STOP on the road behind them and pray to God nobody runs into you.

so you make your turns into driveways at 45mph?
you have to slow down to make the turn. give em a break (and brake).

unless,of course, they didn't signal. then lay on the horn.

In oklahoma they don't have saftey inspections, so only about 1/2 of the vehicles on the road have rear lights (and that number is decreasing, these people slam on thier brakes (with absolutly no tail lights or hand signals) to come to a complete stop then turn.
I've come close to nailing a few of them. what I want to know is why the he11 did the OK politicians think that was a good law change to be put into effect?

So I'll speed up, get in front of them, and return the favor and watch in the mirror to see them put their wipers on, then speed away.

Childish, but fun at the same time (to me at least).

your right, childish

i hit misc. animals, birds, people if i can. once there was a person BBQ'ing in their back yard and their dog was in the front, i purposely hopped the curb, spun out in their lawn, backed up over their dog, and ripped outta there only to cause a 3 car pile up re-entering traffic, im lucky i didnt get hit because i was late for a re-run of Seinfeld.

I kid, I kid!

When I was driving 18 wheelers, I started off trying to be courteous to all the a*holes in cars zooming around me with no regard for my life or theirs.

What I always hated was on the interstates cars would zoom out the exit ramps and 'not merge' but simply expect you to get over. I tried to accomodate them for a while. Finally I talked to a trooper who said I did not have to move at all, just keep going. It is the person merging's responsibility to speed up or slow down in a way that will allow them to merge.

About three monthes later a beamer did that to me and I kept going, he ran right into my drive tires and bounced into the grass. His front end was messed.

I stopped and the guy was screaming at me that I should have moved and the cops were going to own me when they arrived. They cops came, wrote him a ticket (muhahahaha) and told me to be on my way. I looked back at the manical guy (he was cussing and frothing at the mouth) and waved by to him and yelled 'nice meeting ya'. . .

During the next year, there was at least two other cars that had to take the shoulder and/or grass cause they majically thought I was going to move. . .

They can't seem to do safety inspections right.

I'm all for all the lights working, and even the horn, but some states require you to replace your windshield if it has a rock peck in it. That is the reason I'd rather have no inspections than the ones that hold you hostage paying an ungodly sum to fix something not really essential for safety. . .

A perfect example of that is New York.

They required me to replace all tires, windshield, 1 seatbelt, and half a dozen other minor things. Total cost: $1,100. Value of car: $1,500.

When people feel the need to pass me on the right doing about 80 in a 45 I speed up *just* enough so that there is no way they can pass me without hitting me or the car coming up in front of them in the right hand lane. Dangerous, yes, but so is doing 80 in a 45 to pass someone on the right.

I hate it when people do that to me. Seriously.

I don't go 80 in a 45, but sometimes I'm just in a rush and going faster than usual.

I hate it when people speed up to pass me too, but I've learned to let them in because there's no point in provoking other drivers; especially if they have a gun.

Ok, Im confused as to why ppl hate ppl to pass them? Also I never understood why ppl care if you pass em on the right or the left? Honestly . . .

I combine a couple of things suggested here: I totally empty my washer fluid on assholes that tailgate me. Washerfluid is cheap, and boy did it help out this one time... this dude in a convertable Mustang totally riding my ass, and I couldn't go anywhere (I was even in the right lane!). My washer bottle was full, he must have gotten a good 2 or 3 minutes of washer fluid all over the front of his car and probably his back seat. He backed off about a minute into needing to run his wipers at medium speed on a perfectly sunny day.

 

[Relayer]

Ok, here's what I hate...when I am driving along (usually in the right lane) there is no one behind me for several car spaces and a car is wanting over from the left lane to the right lane (the lane I'm in)...there is PLENTY of room behind me, but barly enough room in front of me and the next car....they choose to force their way in front of me because I am not tail gateing.

The second one that really pisses me off is when coming up on a freeway on-ramp, instead of cars getting over to the right behind me to get on the freeway, they pull up beside me in the left lane and turn on their blinker and start forcing between you and the car in front of you. :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :|

 

[Freejack2]

There is this law called keep right except to pass. Granted 80 in a 45 is nuts but travelling in the left lane is just plain rude.

best way to merge onto a highway is at or exceeding the speed of traffic... only time you need to be exactly on is during heavy traffic. Thats why my biggest pet peave are people who do onramps at 35mph... mostly SUV drivers, when they should be taking advantage of the banking of the curve to use it as a slingshot to get up to 80 :mad;

Well, thats one reason why when I know there is a lot of people coming on the on ramp, or it is heavy traffic, I tend to move over to the middle or left lane so I dont have to deal with the incoming people as much.

My first car was a Toyota Tercel station wagon that had a rear window wiper and sprayer. I turned the sprayer upside down so it sprayed straight up. Worked great for people who annoyed me.
