What other drivers do to make you insane...
 

being on their dang phone! or texting!

makes me crazy when the old southern folks pull out in front of you then drive under the speed limit.

I hate it when people treat yield signs like stop signs!!!!!!!! Blah!

I find their very existence to be quite irritating. My drives would be far more pleasant if everyone else just stayed off the roads when I'm on them.

When drivers panic, freeze up at Roundabouts or they ignore traffic rules such as the vehicle that reached the intersection first enters into the flow of traffic first. If one or more vehicles arrive at the intesection at the same moment, the vehicle to your right, goes first. (The same is true for conventional intersections with stop signs.)


"Roundabouts require traffic to circulate counterclockwise around a center island. Unlike Traffic Circles, roundabouts are used on higher volume streets to allocate right-of-way between competing movements."

I do not drive. I walk.

But I hate when asshole drivers act like I am ruining their lives by crossing the street when they want to turn right. Pedestrians have the right of way. Get over it.

I can't tell you how many times I've been almost hit by jackasses turning right without looking.

Bicyclist that ignore traffic laws such as cycling through red lights and stop signs. Then wonder why they are getting hit.

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 was at the dr today and it happened, 2 old guys in a 70 something toyota lol

another thing i hate is when people dont pull over for :firetruck:

I have some friends that live in SF that don't drive (I love our rapid transportation where I live and use it often) and that have almost been hit by this very thing many times! One of them carries a frozen water bottle to whack cars when this happens! I don't blame him at all! And it certainly has made me think more when I do have to drive into SF (but less and less often as I have been using public transportaion more and more).
I just have to master the connecting buses better and soon I will not ever have a reason to drive into SF from the East Bay! Even for medical appointments.

What, you can't hold on for a few seconds to let people get across the street completely? Just one more example of how self-centered people can be and lack courtesy as far as I'm concerned!

As a driver, the crazy people that drift into my lane ahead of me with about two inches between us make me nuts! And they seem to just zoom along doing this for miles on freeways here.

LOL, I am plain tired of rudeness most of the time, driving or not. We all live here! Your needs are no more important than mine!

Honestly, I like driving less and less. No parking worries, more exercise and it is a way to get more acquainted with neighborhoods and other are4as outside of where I live. Savings, too!

Been thinking more and more of how I am tired of the hustle and bustle here, anyway. I want a slower pace where people actually talk with one another.

With their right signal on, they make a wide turn to the left first, then continue making the right turn or vice versa . :eek:

poke (as in slow poke)
It makes me nuts. Lately I have found myself kicking my truck around them w-a-y too much as soon as I can see enough room to pass. I am a good driver but I need to quit blowing it out just because I am frustrated at them going too slow on my clock.

I bet I look like an idiot when I do this! LOL!

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

what other drivers do to make me insane.....
 

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.

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.

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!

Talking on the cell... nononononon
the road rage dance...
weaving in and out of traffic and not using your blinkers
riding the bumper

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!!!

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.

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."
