What other drivers do to make you insane...

Drives me crazy that they don't turn their head lights on when it's raining or snowing...

It's a Law in Minnesota.

It's an ignored law here in NC too.

During my daily commute I see texting, eating, shaving, make-up application, dancing (as much as one can while driving) and my personal favorite - reading the newspaper, books and magazines - all at 55+ mph.

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

They insist on being on the road,
at the same time I am.
Whats up with that?!?

KatieStar · 11-11-2010, 11:55 PM

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!

Corkey · 11-11-2010, 11:56 PM

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

Sam · 11-11-2010, 09:10 PM

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

little_ms_sunshyne · 11-11-2010, 09:15 PM

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

miss entycing · 11-11-2010, 09:24 PM

it irks me to no end when there's no one behind you,
yet they gotta pull out in front of you- making you slam the brakes.
rude I tell ya.

it also irks me when they roll right up on yer ass, and stay there-
like that's really gonna make me go 85 mph just for you??
puhleez...

MsDemeanor · 11-11-2010, 09:29 PM

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.

justkim · 11-11-2010, 09:30 PM

Seriously...
The peddle on the right makes it go...
Duh!

Blade · 11-11-2010, 09:31 PM

Pull out in front of me just to turn in less than a quarter mile

Blow the horn at me for going the speed limit. Damnit if you want to pay my insurance I'll speed.

That's the law here isn't it?

Greyson · 11-11-2010, 09:31 PM

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."

Guy · 11-11-2010, 09:55 PM

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

JAGG · 12-26-2010, 09:53 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.
