Okay What Bad Driver Moves Make You Nuts?

[Bonnie]

This one drives me out of my skull...
Im driving along with no-one behind me for miles going fairly fast as always, a car pulls out right ahead of at 90 MPH then slows down to 15 MPH??? What is that all about??

 

[nycflasher]

In Hartford I get alot of thus @#$holes that just pull right in front of you without signaling. They make me rage, which I take out on my horn :chains:

 

[dmp]

the whole "Since I'm going the speed limit, I can drive in whichever lane I choose!" attitude....erg...

the whole "Well, it's the CARPOOL Lane, NOT the fast lane - so what i'm traveling the SAME speed as the people 'not' in the carpool lane??"(if you are in the CP lane, but are not taking advantage of it, get your ass OUT! )

 

[dmp]

Oh - and not moving over RIGHT away after you pass a guy on the freeway.

KEEP RIGHT

Oh! And 'rubber neckers'....gats...major frustration...

 

[dmp]

Oh! And it's not really a bad driver move, so much as a bad driver mentality...

People buying into the bullshit line "Speed kills".


Oh! And people having a phone conversation (hands-free or not) while driving...

Ok.... Rush hour,
Getting on the highway,
No one is moving yet some jackass feels the need to
inch up to someone's bumper just to let you know he's not letting you in.
Don't people know the everyother car rule???
Does he think that not letting you in will magically teleport him home???

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS ONE ABOUT???
You see a cop who (obviously) has someone pulled over.
EVERYONE SLOWS DOWN LIKE HE'S GOING TO STOP GIVING A TICKET
AND JUMP IN HIS CAR TO CHASE YOU. WTF That's a free ticket to me.

There is no 'every other car' rule in WA. :-/

Maybe that's an Oklahoma thing, I'm not used to traffic. In the town I grew up in,
traffic was 2 cars sitting in front of you at a stop sign.

How about when you cruising down the interstate over the speed limit,
no matter the lane and some jackass comes up behind you with lanes open and wants to park in your trunk. Very common in Atlanta.

I match the speed of the slowest car on the road when that happens, so they
can't get by. PISSES THEM OFF!!!

Oh I'll do that too..I'm talking lanes
open and they can go around me/you, but NO,
they seem to want me/you to move.

I don't...cuz the second you start
they decide to zip around ya. The IDIOTS!

I LOVE doing that and watching their temper tantrum in my rear view mirror.

The biggest thing that drives me to the nuthouse is the motorcycle riders that don't live up to the "Start Seeing Motorcycles" sticker. half the time you DON'T see them when they zip in and out of lanes, and soem even having the balls to drive BETWEEN cars on freeways, just because they have the size ability to (no legal ability, so if a cop saw them, they'd be toast). I was driving on 35W northbound, on my way home and a ninja biker zips by my left side and gets between me and the car in front of me, which is not the 2-4 car lengths it is supposed to be (i know-I am a bad girl), all in literally 2 seconds, and NO signals-hands or blinkers. I would have had 10 witnesses to my defense if I had hit this guy. These bikers can't seem to relate the weight ratio of car vs. motorcycle. 550lbs vs 2110 lbs...it doesn't take a rocket scientist.

I must agree with my black brother on all these aggrevating habits of WA drivers. My absolute most hated is that people don't KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS like the sign says.

It's an informal rule... rule of the road, if you will. I call it the "zipper" thing. And when someone doesn't let me in when I'm supposed to "zip" in, I force myself in. Then I wave so the person knows what a nice guy I am.

But it's not/was not taught...


In Germany..it's a law, irrc.

Your insurance would go way up around here.
That sort of driving, here, causes lots of accidents and road rage too.

I’m going the opposite way here for a moment.
I pulled out of the driveway this morning and started my daily commute.
A few minutes passed and a car pulled up right on my ass. I couldn’t speed up
as much as I would have loved to because, there were other cars ahead of us.
I couldn’t pass them because we only had one lane. This guy will not get off my
ass, hell I think he even blew a stop sign to get on my ass again. Anyway we get
to our turn off, 2 lane freedom at last, what does this jackass do??? HE KEEPS
RIDING MY ASS. I’m in the pol position now and I’m even in the right lane to allow
this person PLENTY of time and space to pass me, do they pass??? NO, they wait
until I slow down at least 10 MPH under the speed limit, then execute their pass.

Just as this fucktard is by me, I see a truck on the other side of the road give my
the flash signal for “Hey buddy…there’s a cop waitin for ya up ahead” so I slow
down. The asshole kept his speed which was at least 10 MPH over now, I had a
grin from ear to ear. As we pass through the curve he spots the cop and
immediately hits the brakes, I checked my speed since he was on my
side of the road…..I’m good. We pass the cop and he pulls out behind me, now my
grin fades a little thinking “gee I hope he doesn’t pull me over for the assholes
violation”, he passes me and my smile returns. As I watched the police officer pull
the asshole over, I couldn’t help laughing now as I was glad for once to see that
there was a cop around when I needed him.

There have been many times when
the police have been there to “protect and serve” me (mainly serve) but this time
was the best, VENGEANCE IS MINE. That just makes my day, so now that I
cracked this one open, maybe I’ll start thread about interesting experiences with
the police….ON BOTH SIDES!!!

With all due respect, it's the people who are so old and shriveled that you can't even tell some is in the car driving. They can't even see !

I will say this though, not all old people drive like that.
I've seen some Sunday drivers who drive like they used to race NASCAR!

I sure wish I would get behind some of those
