A-holes who speed up the moment you put your blinker on. They could be a mile behind you, but the moment you put on that blinker - it's like a race to make sure you aren't in front of them.

Billy · 12-24-2010, 06:56 AM

For some reason they like to tailgate behind the tahoe , if I can see your breakfast still in your teeth , your just to up My ass , and there is a trailer hitch on the back and I'm just sayin , if I stop real fast that steele bumper is going to be your new grill and I am not talking about on the hood of your car

Starbuck · 12-25-2010, 11:40 PM

I have several things that tick me off but I believe the worst are:
1: When stupid people REFUSE to use their turn signal to change lanes or make a turn...they just come over in front of me or slow way down to turn...grrr!

2: When people just HAVE to change lanes to get in front of me and then they slow down. What was that for???

3: Contrary to popular belief, NO vehicle is going to fit up the dual exhause on my Harley Davidson Ford F-150 pickup truck, so get off my butt!!

Jesse · 12-25-2010, 11:48 PM

Some days, I hate that they dared to leave their house in the first place! Next time, Ask FIRST!

bigbutchmistie · 12-26-2010, 12:20 AM

Oh Lordy

Ok, I hate it when people are driving less than the speed limit and they arent driving in the right hand side of the road...

I hate it when Im going the speed liimit and someone flies around me moves back in front of me and slams on their brakes to be an ass

When people change lanes to get in front of my car to go SLOWER than a turtle

People who dont use turn signals

Stupids who dont use seatbelts for their children

Madeyoulook · 12-26-2010, 04:27 AM

Overtaking me at speed then slowing down immediately because they are turning left (that would be right in the States, I think), meaning I have to brake hard.

Blade · 12-26-2010, 05:42 AM

People who don't put there lights on in the rain or snow, are endangering their lives if they plan on passing a tractor trailer. Reason is this, all we have is our mirrors to see you, we can't turn around and look out the back window or side window. When it's raining those big tires spray alot of water upward , plus are mirrors are wet and dirty with rain, if you are trying to pass us with no lights on, all we see is the curtain of waterspray from our tires, you blend in with it like a perfect camouflage. Until you drive through the curtain of waterspray (somewhere around the front of the trailer) we can't see you and could very likely try to change lanes right over the top of you. However, if you had your lights on, we would have seen you a half a mile before you reached the rear of the trailer.
Any time a car and a tractor trailer tangle , the car usually loses. Badly! That's why it's a law. To protect you !!!! And I don't know any professional drivers who want to be involved in a wreck of any kind, let alone a fatality wreck. That's one memory I can live with out.

When someone pulls out in front of you IN THE RAIN! I mean, come on, are you REALLY gonna' get there any faster?

Someone applying mascara while driving. THIS scares me! There is NO way you are paying attention to the road!

Going slow in the fast/passing lane. Grrrrrr!

A couple of days ago, I had some big ole honking truck go from a gas station on the right of the road and go straight across to the farthest turning lane on the left. He's lucky as Hell that the light was red and we were all slowing down. If my brakes weren't as good, I would have T-boned HIM.

I knew a trucker that hit a car. It wasn't her fault. They had gone around a blind turn and were sitting IN THE LANE with all the lights off and no blinkers. She hit them at 55mph, killing the mother and the 2 month old baby the woman was holding on her lap. Did I mention the mother was the DRIVER?

*shakes head*

People do stupid stuff. If the rest of us are lucky, we survive their mistakes.

JAGG · 12-27-2010, 05:25 AM

All the ignorant drivers that tic us off, aren't going away any time soon, so we might as well suck it up and try to keep a level head. Sometimes I think I have seen it all in the 22 years I've been a professional driver. But then something new occurs and I wonder WHAT THE .... I have watched highway patrol cars pass me with the trooper typing away on his laptop. BTW we can see everything you are doing in your car . I mean everything! We can see every empty candy wrapper on your floor board, every stain on your seat, even what radio station you are listening to. If you pass a tractor trailer trust me, they are checking you out.

DapperButch · 12-27-2010, 07:07 PM

Ok, so just got home. Was on way to my second job and driving through my neighborhood. Snow on ground.

I am driving slowly along and some guy, not looking, coming up to the intersection I am crossing over just keeps going...looking straight ahead....not looking over at me at all...I am blowing my horn and slamming on my brakes and start sliding...and it was like slo mo....

So, he hits me. Lovely.

What is interesting is that when someone hits me I never actually get angry. And what is even more interesting is that this guy, just like the last person who crossed in front of me didn't even apologize. They're just like hey, yeah, guess we should call the cops, huh?

Ugh.

Unfortunately, there is no stop sign for this intersection, but the whole neighborhood operates as if the road I am on is the "right of way" road (and looking at the roads anyone would guess that). But, since there are no stop signs, no one is at fault per cop.

The guy also had a passenger in his car that the cop ended up handcuffing and putting in the back of his car. I have no idea what the deal was with that, but I do know that I had to wait there start to finish for two hours while the cop was doing whatever he was doing in his car. Insane.

ETA: Yes, I am fine, as was the other driver and passenger.

Camo Eagle · 05-13-2011, 09:12 PM

Those that plug up a driveway, instead of pulling into the turn lane and working into traffic.

OMG was stuck forever behind a car that wanted to wait until not a car was in sight. (not happening in my hood...LOL) They Missed about 20 ops to pull out. Cars lined up behind me all honking.

Then to top it off the car was stopped in middle of 2 lanes so no traffic could pull out in either direction. OOOYYYYYYYYYYY

Lynn · 05-13-2011, 09:23 PM

There are drivers that shouldn't be on the road.

This evening, I was picking up some Chinese food. I was making a left-hand turn into a parking lot. There was a woman, waiting to turn left out of the parking lot. As I started the turn, the woman, completely oblivious to me, made her turn, almost hitting me. I had to veer over into the other lane to avoid being hit, all the while sitting on my horn. The woman was completely non-plussed. She just looked ahead and continued out into traffic. I sat there for five minutes, wishing I'd taken her license plate number. This was right across from a senior center, and she was obviously not appropriate to be driving.

Gayla · 05-13-2011, 09:55 PM

On a daily basis, I'm baffled by the inability of most people to correctly navigate a four way stop.

Apparently the four way stop was not intended to be an orderly form of traffic management but a big giant clusterfuck where everyone's main goal is to go before the person who truly has the right of way at any given time. The most common way of insuring this happens is to just follow the car in front of you and go when they go. Even if you are the third car back. Extra points if the person who actually has the right of way is attempting to turn left in front of you because we all know that every vehicle at any intersection within a three mile radius has the right of way before anyone turning left. Ever.

AtLast · 05-13-2011, 10:23 PM

When someone drifts over to the right lane from a double left-hand turn lane- just don't even look to see that the car that was stopped next to them is in that lane!!

People that park their car in a residential area and hang either front or rear over into a drive way.

Makes me the most nuts- cell phone using or texting drivers!

ARGH- tail gating!!!

Luv · 05-13-2011, 10:26 PM

People who text while they drive..ugh !

When your in the right lane to make a right,,and someone comes all the way over from the left lane and cuts you off!
