Michigan. Dear God does the construction ever end?

Every road, every freeway is being repaired, repaved, or reworked. The best part is that they do a crappy job of repairing the road so in 5 years they are redoing the exact same road. Oh my god I can't wait for winter so that the orange barrels will go away for 4 months. :|

I HATE PEOPLE WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF A MERGE LANE!!!!
My city is terrible for people who can't merge!!!

9 out of 10 people think the right thing to do is to come to a stop in the lane and wait for a huge hole... meanwhile they have this whole merge lane in from of them that they won't even enter...

i probably hate traffic by far the most. and then there are those old people who still drive, going at about 5mph. and then there are the exact opposites, the tailgaters.... oh god they piss me off... sometimes if there's one behind me i like to tap on the brake, and seem them slam theirs and skid all over the lane. haha

I agree, merging can sometimes be a pain in the @ss. Another thing I totally hate is left turns when there are two lanes. I was once on the outer lane turning and some idoit just turned from his lane right into mine, cutting me off.

<<

<< Hehe let me make a list of drivers that piss me off:


4. Teenagers that don't realize that:
- cutting off as many people as possible while merging will still get you NOWHERE
- weaving through traffic like Ricky Racer will save you about THREE SECONDS on a 20-mile trip
>>




I hate other drivers who bitch about time saving: "you wont save any time by doing that!" :D

When I fly through the traffic like a hornet and pass usually every car possible, I'm not trying to save time, I'm doing it because it's FUN!!! (At least, until the pig.... errr, cops arrive.) :cool:

I like to drive fast - all the time, wtf is the point of having fast &amp; good looking car if you obey speed limits?!

I also dislike elder people who cant drive, they dont see anyting, they dont know where they're going and they dont know how car operates. It amazes me what kind of people can get lisence...

;)
>>



I think my favorite thing to do is to box people like you in with another car. Its fun watching these people have brain hemmorages because they cant get one car ahead. I have yet to meet someone who tried to kill me, but, i always carry a baseball bat in my, so if you come out of your car, i'll come outta mine too

I here you! In Rochester Hills, 3 East-West roads in a row are all being worked on, so if you want to get around it, you have to drive 4 miles north or south, and then 4 miles back to the road you were on. Who the hell thought that one up?!

Also, I-75, when the hell are they gonna finish adding those lanes in by Square Lake Rd, its driving me nuts!!!

People that have whinning children that don't just pull over and take care of them. Instead they insist on turning 1/2 a round to deal with them and keep driving not looking at the road, with only one hand on the wheel. ECT.

It just erks me to no end.

running over dogs... :eek: well, havent actually but came close yesterday night.. was driving home, when i turned into my street (15mph limit)
driving up slowly minding my own business and noticed some of my neighbors outside chatting, then all of a sudden this white dog on the other side was about to run across the street to it's owner i suppose. luckily, it caught the corner my eye (it's white of course) so i was able to stop in time.. dog was unleashed... argh.. people need to keep their dogs on leashes or somehting.. esp at night.. anyways, if that dog was a darker color, i probably would have run over it.. hmm. how would that have gone down? would i be in the wrong even though i was driving the speed limit and everything?

Old people also go the worng way on one way streets a lot.

But one night i was travling in the left lane of a one way street and it was "cruising" night in my town. This fvcking kid pulls into my lane coming towards me and actually HONKS! I was very pissed.

Oh yeah and i hate cruising seriously get a fvcking life you tirds.

Potholes the size of a mattress.
Drivers that can't get all the way into the turning lane prior to turning.
People that know they have to merge because their lane ends but refuse to get over unless it involves cutting you off.

My dad insists on tailgating everyone while cussing them out because they're not going 10 miles faster than the speed limit. (Obviously, he does.) :disgust:
What I want to know is what's gonna happen if I happen to hit my brake, purposely or otherwise, when someone is tailgating me. Who will be at fault, even if I hit my brakes really hard on purpose?
I really want to teach people like that a lesson.

I hate it when people drive down an open lane to skip a line of cars waiting to make a turn, and then cut back in at the end. For some reason they think its OK to drive down the shoulder and that they dont need to wait like everybody else. On top of it, they get pissed if you try to not let them in.

What we need is some kind of wheel-mounted switch that turns on a video camera pointed out the rear-view mirror. It (a) gets the driver's ugly mug, (b) their license plate, and (c) shows the police how close they were driving for and for how long. I would love to see a system like that built.

Did any of you anti-tailgating people stop and pull your head out of your ass, for just a minute, and realize you are not supreme law of the road? You do not have the right to teach other people lessons. Being a passive-aggressive driver (eg., boxing someone in) is just as dangerous as those "idiot tailgaters." Maybe if you keep your head out long enough, you would realize, maybe it is YOU who are driving too slow, and you should just move over and let the person get on their way. Let the cops take care of them, instead of them wrecking your car.
