Driving Pet Peeves!

lol

Lol, all the ppl I see on the sidewalk are BARELY in view, that far ahead of me. By the time I'm on the next song on my mp3, they are the equivalent distance behind me.

lol, all the people I see on bikes are barely in view, that far ahead of me. By the time I'm on the next song on my mp3, I'm 20 miles away in my car :P

Wonder if they classify bikes with those small add-on engines as motorized vehicles. I used to have a 1.5HP motor I can attach to my bmx bike so I could just cruise.

Lol, actually on a busy day, I can keep up w/ most cars. They get ahead, but by the time they get the next stop light, I've caught them. I remember I went about 5 miles where me and a corvette had covered the same distance. They he got a couple lucky green lights :(

I saw a kid with one attached to his beach cruiser, it was funny because despite having it, he walks up the small hill close to my house.

Foiled >.<
Ya traffic sucks, but I don't live in a huge city so with the exception of a bad snow storm, traffic never gets too bad

Those add-on engines rock. Turned my lil bike got me to go places I normally would die trying to get to.

I got hit by someone pulling out of their driveway, the garage was in the back of the house and I couldn't see them coming due to the house blocking the view of the drive. They where also going fairly fast. Taco'd the bike and I broke the back window and went half way inside the car.

Ninian is right, its the law, least it is here in CA. Its nothing a cop will stop you for doing, but like I learned, if you get hit/hurt, you screwed.

do you know a good site to find one of these engines? It would make my trips to work more fun.

Where to start?


People...
...not using turn signals.

...unecessarily using their brakes (braking on the highway for no reason when no one is in front of them).

...speeding up as I am merging so they can be in front of me.

...completely stopping at a yield sign with no signs of incoming traffic.

...reving their Honda VTEC engines (that have the lawn mower exhaust on them) at me when I drive by because I drive an american made sports car.

...texting while driving.

...being women drivers.

PM'd link

This, definitely. I'll make a turn based on the assumption someone will not be turning in my same direction (which I would not be in the right of way if they were planning on turning, but I'd be fine if they were not), then they turn anyways w/o the signal, and then decide to roll their window down and talk ***, in which case, if I'm in spitting distance, I will do so at that time.

USING THE BRAKES WHILE YOU BLAB ON YOUR CELLPHONE!!!

I just wanna ram my car up their ***!

I shoulder check for bikers on right hand turns... damn drivers training

Four way stops piss me off.

Two people going opposite directions, one is making a left turn and thinks they have right of way. Left hand turns are always supposed to yield. =/

People that turn their cars into football helmets

People that drive super fast and swerve between lanes as if they're saving children. They usually fall into the "gangster" or annoying soccer dad category.

Waiting forever for a car to pass by so you can turn... only to find out that they're turning onto the road you're on... WITHOUT THEIR TURNING SIGNAL!

Being the first car behind something slow. You put your turn signal on to get over and the car behind you just speeds into the other lane to pass you and the slow car. Now, every car behind that car does the same thing, leaving you trapped for what seems like an eternity.

People who speed up when I'm speeding up to get over into the turning lane (with signal on)...

One guy did this to me, so I got over anyways. This guy was livid- he was flicking me off and shouting and honking so I braked at the green light, waited for the light to turn yellow, and sped off. It felt great to leave him at the light to sulk in his defeat.

people who have those "external speakers" on their cars because they think we wanna hear the *** they're playing.

Whenever I'm in a friend's car w/ that stuff, I always play ***like it's raining men or party in the usa. I love the reactions we get when ppl look at us.

lmfao!

you can bet your *** I'd do that ***, but around here, its ghetto black guys that use ***like that and I don't have any friends like that (thank God)

People blasting rap or any other horrendous "modern" music. There needs to be a rule that if you catch one of these jackasses at a light you're free to bash their windshield open with a baseball bat.

lol just blasting rap in particular, or anyone blasting music in general? Hip hop isn't the only thing I've heard blasted.

Oh boy where to begin..

Not using signals

When ppl pull out in front of me expecting me to slow down when I am
clearly going much faster than you!

People that can't merge when getting on freeway..

*** that refuse to get out of MY fast lane..yes it's mine I am going "faster" than you so GTFO!

Ppl that turn there blinker on and just assume because a light is flashing that they have a God giving right to come over whenever they so wish.

Texting while driving.

When ppl keep creeping up at a Red light.

When Ppl don't stop or even attempt to stop at a stop sign or when turning right on a red light.

When ppl don't use the mutal turning lane.

When ppl take forever to make a left hand turn.

Ppl that don't wave when I let them in.

This is more of a parking one but still..when a car/truck/van or even fancy car thinks they can park at some stupid angle so others can't park next to them.

When I am riding my Scooter (yes feel free to lol @ me) and ppl don't see me or think its ok to cut me off.

When ppl go fast just to get in front of me to go slow..really don't understand this.

When ppl go to make a left hand turn say out of a neighborhood or business and they angel there car so much that it makes it almost impossible for ppl to turn in.

Ppl that drive with there High Beams(brights) all the time at night.

ppl that are to stupid to get over in time for a right hand turn and the proceed to block the rest of traffic until they can get over.

When my wife drives.

Ppl that tailgate.

Slow ppl in general.

Old ppl..if it takes you 30 minutes to get into your car and another 25 to get out, why the hell are you allowed to drive!

Teenagers..enough said.

Ppl in nicer cars that think they are entitled because they have a nice care..My dad taught me if you are having a hard time merging in traffic "aim for the nice ones"

Ppl that that refuse for whatever reason to let others merge in traffic like when leaving a concert or sporting events and no one is willing to let other in..woot we all just sit here longer..awesome!

When ppl that don't drive fast cars think they are fast.

When Cops break ^ some of these while driving.

That should do it for now..

I can't help but crank this up:



But not THAT loudly and it's not like I keep my windows down. It's purely for my own enjoyment and not to get attention.

rap, hip-hop is ok. Most rap music is ***anyway, and country.

lol rap > soulja boy that's for certain.

fixed

>.> You mean if they stop at the same time, right? Whoever stops at the sign first gets to go first, left turn or not. If it was simultaneous, then yeah, the guy going straight is first, just like any other situation.

As for me, I hate two things: tailgating and school busses. I've been rear-ended by a tailgater, and getting caught behind a school bus on its morning route while trying to get to work on time is nerve-wracking.

Yes, obviously.

Going off of OP I'm gonna have to say everything. I have absolutely terrible road rage.
