When someone starts following too closely, i'll just take my foot off the gas and start coasting.

If they back off i'll continue on my way. If they don't, we'll both be going about 2 mph quickly.

A little tap on the brake works too :o

i do this on purpose (not on the highway)
drive next to another car
so a jackass trying to pass can't

if one is just passing fine

if 15-20 cars are at a red light
in two lanes
and the speed limit is 35
and said jack ass has bobbed and weaved muliple times in .5 mile
I will block said ass

as pointed out in the zombie thread I can be an ass

what other drivers do to make me insane.....
 
They insist on being on the road,
at the same time I am.
Whats up with that?!?

I recently moved to a big city. It's my first, so learning how to maneuver around has been quite interesting. But, the one thing (aside from the traffic) that has me baffled, is emergency flashers. I swear... as long as you have those on - you can get away with pretty much anything. It drives me nuts!

What do other drivers do that make you insane...get on the road.

It might also get you a stop by the local police if one of those people behind you calls them to report a suspected drunk driver.

Before all the bicyclist pop, I also am troubled by drivers that do not look in the mirror to be sure it is clear and a bicyclist is not coming down the road before they open the door of the parked car and injure or kill a bicyclist.

I live in LAND of Bicycles. It is kind of a crazy phenomenon. I mean, I think it is a good thing...cheaper, good exercise, good for the planet, etc. However many cyclists here believe they are 'above the law', frequently breezing through stop signs, flying out of blind corners, NOT using the bike lane when there is one (which they are many here in Portland). How do they expect to get the respect of walkers and drivers when they don't obey the laws?!

Our town and surrounding roads are very popular for bicyclists - distance riders train here and off-roaders use trails all over the hillsides - so folks drive in from all over to ride here. It's a friggin' nightmare of hundreds of people in little packs wearing gaudy bright skintight bicycle outfits, outfits so horrid that they make plaid golf pants look good. The town is two lane roads (many with bike lanes) and four-way stops at every intersection. Almost without fail, the two-wheelers assume they are above the law and cruise right through every stop sign, and they ride down the middle of the side roads so that you're stuck behind them. Fucking pain in the ass, every last one of them.

Drifting from lane to lane.
Not driving the speed limit - hint: If people have to speed up to the speed limit to pass you, you are going too slow!
Speeding through school zones.

And my biggest pet peeve of all:

Passing a stopped school bus!

asphaltcowboi 11-12-2010 06:32 AM
passing stoped school busses, speeding, talking on the phone, not using turn signals, flipping lit ciggs out the window ,spitting and generaly thinking they are the only person out there that has someplace to go..and not LOOKING for motorcycles!

Going REAAALLLLLL slow until you try to pass them, then they turn into speed demons JUST so you CAN'T pass them!!! And idiots who turn their blinker on AFTER they've made a turn!!!

lipstixgal 11-12-2010 10:25 AM

North Jersey vs South Jersey
 
When I drive in North Jersey it is very different then in South Jersey. After I go over the Bridge is when the attitudes change. They are far more aggressive in the North. I have to change my whole attitude. It is stressful at times. I grew up in North Jersey so I have to go back watching all the other drivers around me. My Mom always said I do not worry about the way you drive it is the other person.

pick their nose at a red light..

HELLO??? We can SEE you!!!

justkim 11-12-2010 11:59 AM
Signals are not a part of the *additional options package*... When driving in Denver using your signal only gives the other drivers cause to speed up... and let them know that you wish to be a willing participant in a game of bumper cars... Better yet, those people that think that they can just squeeze in when they have known for the last five fricken miles that the lane they are in is going to end...

Oh my god, that is so awesome! I might have to start doing that.

I've always settled for yelling "if you injure me - you go to jail."
