5. Drivers who think slowing down in the left lane is OK |
|
Edited on Fri Jul-09-04 05:40 PM by Book Lover
Please, please, if you drive slowly, stay in the middle or left lane until you need to not be in it. We speeders don't want you in our way.

6. People not using their turn signals at all |
|
Possibly topped by the "using their turn signals after the turn" type - but there are simply more not using them at all.

8. Cars that continue going through a red |
|
Edited on Fri Jul-09-04 05:37 PM by ChompySnack
Just because the person right ahead of them did too. This happens mostly with left turn lights at busy intersections.

9. People who don't understand the meaning of Yield |
|
It drives me nuts when people are merging and they are looking straight ahead as if you don't exist, and there is a yield sign that they should look at and they don't.

12. Aggressive yuppie types... |
|
Tailgating, zipping in and out of lanes, cutting people off in their BMWs. They always dart into the little safety cushion I leave between me and the vehicle ahead. Always in such a self important hurry to get to where they're going. (Probably on the way to evict a tenant or otherwise fuck somebody over)

17. Drivers of BIG ASS SUVs and Trucks that drive in BOTH LANES! |
|
(usually cell phone in hand, but some just seem to think they can drive them like a mini cooper).
Also includes those driving those wide bodies "Mini Vans" (which may be anything BUT MINI)and are also all over the road.

19. A message to those of you who cannot merge: |
|
GET UP TO SPEED BEFORE YOU MERGE INTO THE DAMN LANE, YOU CHENEYING 'MORAN'! If you are unable to drive the appropriate speed - and that means the speed the cars already in the lane are going, but NOT matching speeds with someone directly next to you, you goddamned idiot - then use the cheneying surface streets, you puddle of santorum!
:mad:
I HATE people who insist on merging at 40 when traffic is moving at 65+ on the freeway. I HATE YOU PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO MERGE. STAY OFF THE FREEWAY IF IT SCARES YOU!

22. Yeah but people who drive in the extreme right lane when people are trying |
|
to merge piss me off. My car is old and I can't get up to speed quick enough if I have to slip in between cars.
People should stay out of the right lane unless they are about to get off.

27. thanks for being considerate |
|
here in LA we have these meters that regulate traffic so you don't even have enough room to get up to speed.
And like I said...get out of the right lane if those merging in piss you off.

30. the person who inconvienences the most people is the inconsiderate one |
|
Edited on Fri Jul-09-04 07:18 PM by Beaker
like for instance- someone who insists on taking a POS junk-mobile that can't get up to speed onto a roadway meant for vehicles that can...too bad if it means that other people(note: plural) have to slam on the brakes or veer out of the way- the person(note:singular) with the crappy crapmobile has places to be...
but as long as you keep your pokey ass out west, there shouldn't be a problem.

33. Out here the freeways are 6 lanes |
|
no one has to drive around in the right lane. They should leave that lane empty for people getting on and off. That's all I'm saying.
And how nice of you to citicize people who don't have enough money to buy a new car fast enough to suit you.
why dont' you go tailgate someone who isn't going fast enough for you.

21. My biggest thing is a combination of ... |
|
Tailgater and stop dead in the merge lane.
Traffic is busy enough around here that when the guy ahead of me merges into 70 mph traffic at 40 mph, the tailgater behind me gets impatient and cuts around both of us. The way these bush-holes do it, they make the guy ahead of me even MORE freaked out, making the situation worse.
Basically, it's a no-win sutuation. Either I cut off slowpoke ahead of me, or I merge early to create a hole in traffic for slowpoke, or I get cut off by jerk behind me, and wind up acting as bumper protection for Mr. slowpoke anyway.
It's enough to make me want to move to a remote area in N. Dakota. :)

25. people who turn left from the right side of a one way street... |
|
here in chicago, there are a lot of one way streets, including most residential streets, and it fries my bean when the morans who are turning left drift to the right side of the street to do so.
ALSO-
we have the "right turn on red" rule, which most morans don't seem to realize also means that you are allowed to turn LEFT on red when turning from the left lane of a one way street onto another one way street...cheneying morans.

28. Public service announcement |
|
from someone who used to drive a truck.
Cars = light weight Trucks = heavy weight. It takes much longer for a truck to stop than a car. If you're in traffic, and you cut off a truck, the driver may not be able to get stopped in time. I know there are assholes who run right up on your bumper, but even then you're better off letting the jerk by than keeping him back there.

The left lane is for passing. If people are passing you in the right lane you really should move over to the proper lane. The fact that you are driving an expensive car or a "assault SUV" does not entitle you to passing lane privileges not afforded us common folk. A cell phone stuck to your head is also a poor excuse for not letting others pass you. I don't make you wait for me- show some courtesy.

and people that don't understand it is perfectly legal and okay to move into the intersection while waiting to turn left at a green light.
