Bad Drivers

[old man winter]

What is the single most annoying incident that you see other drivers execute while they are in supposed control of their vehicle?Tailgaters is my biggest peeve.

also could be added: - double parking on a street when there is an open spot to park just a few feet away - turning left either just before or just as the light turns green instead of waiting until traffic going the other way clears - running red lights - blocking lanes of traffic while waiting to turn - changing lanes in an intersection - not using turn signals at all - driving in the winter without clearing the snow from all windows and the roof - pulling into an open lane and then driving slower than the traffic in the lane they pulled out of

[rasermon]

Not using turn indicator gets my vote. One time a lady turned in front of me without her signal lamp working. I turned in also and kindly said to her that her blinker lamp is not working or burned out . In reply she said, *%@# you.

[Sub-Vibe-R]

Im agree with all those reason.I can also add those 2Driving wiht a foot on the gaz and the other one on the brake pedal and keep the brake light on.-Forgot to turn off the turn signal or turn it on 3 miles before the place he wants to turn

One thing that pisses me off the most in when I'm on a 4 lane highway or interstate the left lane is the FAST LANE! Your crusing along and I am all ways speeding but I use the left lane and you come on on the back of someone who is doing the speed limit. THEY SHOULD BE OVER IN THE RIGHT LANE. Then you get the people that would move over so then I have to pass them on the right side and get back in the left lane. I hate these people.

[Flip-Side]

You forgot the almighty, most idiotic thing possible...Doing make-up while driving! ARG!!! What can be more distracting than painting yer face in traffic!

[Big_Red]

Hey I actually saw one guy shaving this morning....and uhm not with an electric razor either.

[Flip-Side]

Then that guy is a runner up for the Darwin Award...all he has to do now is die doing it.

On the way to Timmy’s to pick up an “Extra Large Regular” I seen a guy trying to roll a cigarette…I think it was a cigarette, this is at 6:05 a.m.

well, i live on a dirt road (about 1/2 mile off a paved street). my definition of a bad driver is any oncoming traffic going over 20 mph! gravel roads and flying rocks suck. ive even backed into driveways when i've seen cars coming.

[old man winter]

I had to give the 'ole one finger salute to a woman this mornig who speeds up to pass me in a passing lane......then slows down 15 kph when the lane if over.(removed)!

The new Chevy and GMC truck headlights are nuts on with your eyes. I'd like to make a spoiler-like part that would fit on the rear cross brace on the roof rack that has a full width mirror fitted to it so it would shine their lights back at them. Either that or get a clear lens for the center brake light and put a Silverstar in there.

im out near 26 mile road in Macomb Twp., MI... and its nothing but 7000lb Yukons, Expeditions, and Dodge RAM 3500 quad cabs racing around these two way streets at ~60-70 mph. not a pretty sight. my next car might have to be a hummer h2 the way things are going.

[old man winter]

Ha ha, I would like to have a device, which deploys small ball bearings. A cluster bomb with a nice spread. This could be activated from an actuator opening a gate to a magazine under the rear of the auto. I’m sure one of these nasty projectiles would penetrate the radiator, smash plastic grills and of course KILL THE LIGHT. I would call the device Hymie. Remember Get Smart..”Hymie, kill the light”

We refer to this genre as the "pickups from hell" Some how they think that 4wd is going to improve their stopping and handling capabilities in an emergency. I give them a wide berth and laugh when they screw up.

[yank dini]

how about taking 50 years to make a right turn into a gas station or a parking lotOr how about this one, Making a left turn and not being in the left turn lane but in the next lane over to the right (thru traffic lane), or not fully being in the left turn lane (you got the (removed) of the car in the thru traffic lane and I have to swerve around you hoping that I don't interfere with the guy in the lane to my right)ARRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!

[Flip-Side]

quote:Some how they think that 4wd is going to improve their stopping and handling capabilities in an emergency. Which is why I laughed at the Explorer/Firestone incident. The only ones blowing out were people blasting down the freeway 80+mph, way past the All Terrain tire's rating.It's a good thing I have shaped up. I use to blast unerving road goliaths with my ol' paintball gun for good measure. I know, I know...it was a while ago.

[Verto]

I thought the rollovers were caused more towards the tires not being inflated enough.

[KSNeptune]

In my little town, anyone with gray or white hair driving an 8 cylinder american car is a bad driver.

I'll be happy to move over once I finish passing the cars, I'm already doing 20 over!!! Moron.The other peeve is the idiot driving the minivan at high speed on the highway during a snowstorm. The Darwin award contestants.

[Cobalt_amg]

What irks me is when a left lane is ending and you have to merge into the right, you always get the idiots who have to zoom @ 100 mph and then cut you off. I usually ride in the middle towards the last 250 feet so the knuckleheads cant do that.

[Cobalt_amg]

you feel the funk? lol

[Cobalt_amg]

I thought you were talking about my dancing monkey

[Stands Alone]

Hey Rasermon, .....just tell the lady,...."yes I would,....but it'll make your mouth mighty sore !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[slbpsi63]

Salsa nice link. :thumbupCobalt what car is that in your avatar? It looks like a Caldina.?.?

[Cobalt_amg]

It is the TRD Version Caldina.. Not my car, for I have matrix, but I think the caldina looks sweeeet!

[slbpsi63]

I agree. Too bad we don't get one.

[Sam2Mar]

How about......OUT OF ADJUSTMENT HEADLIGHTS...YELLDrive me Nuts. Especially when the headlights are searching for animals in trees. These people have got to be total idiots. I wonder why I can't see the road at night...HUHTheir headlights light up the night sky. the side of the road, fields, deer, you name it! Got to add deer, it's buck season her in PA.Not to mention when they're in your rear view mirror.I'd like to have a self adjusting mirror that continually stays pointed at the driver behind me to blind then, like they're blinding me!I can see my shadow in the passenger headliner! Been there right!AAH...now I feel better

I hate these people.Three words:GARDEN STATE PARKWAYIf that's what you hate most, that's the road to avoid, cause everyone does it.Oh, and I might add, this morning, I was at a stoplight where there were four lanes. The left most was left turn, and, the two middle were straight only, and the fourth was straight or right. A guy went from the rightmost lane all the way across all four lanes to make a left. Thankfully, it was a left arrow, and he only messed up the left turn people, but it coulda been devestating.And yes, that is 100% honest-to-god truth telling.

[joatmon]

Tailgaters (removed) me off the most. Then left-hangers, line jumpers, rubberneckers, and pretty much anybody who is too close, too slow, or too dangerous, which seems to be about everybody on the road lately

[pmh013]

Around here, all the secondary roads are at "level crossings" ... there's no ramps, just a stop sign at the intersection. What I hate is these people who are in such a hurry that they need to pull out right in front of you, then take 5 miles to get their piece of junk up to speed. The worst for this is the transport trucks, blue-hairs & farmers. They've got no reason to go any faster than 50 MPH, why should you? I lay on the horn when they do this to me, but even I can't hear our wimpy horn over the radio.

[MadBill]

My peeves:o Anyone who drives faster than I do; they're total maniacs and ought to have their licences yanked!o Anyone who drives slower; they're dweebs and dimbulbs and belong on the sidewalk!o Anyone who drives at exactly the same speed as I do; they're relying on me for their driving decisions plus I get sick of seeing the same cars in my line of sight all the time after 30 seconds or so!

[ragingfish]

Bill --You put it best! That is so how I feel!

I read this comic strip and thought of this post. http://www.comics.com/comics/pearls/arc ... 30608.html I only get the "free" paper on the weekends, and this is my favourite strip!!

[ragingfish]

Must be a canadian strip:I discovered it because I get Dilbert and Mutts e-mailed to me daily, and I happened to stumble upon Pearls Before Swine -- it's a GREAT strip...I get it e-mailed daily too...What a laugh riot!
