Driving pet peeves

Running with lights on in daytime should be a non issue... how could that possibly bug you?!

I worked at a trucking company that REQUIRED you to have lights on at all times while in motion. Automatic termination if caught without them. Makes you more visible. (Which I never figured out how people couldn't see a big white tractor trailer anyway)

 

That’s a stupid reason for automatic termination.

 

Filling up someone’s tires right now who returned rental car. Their personal car has trash everywhere inside, including where the pedals are...

 

Some take visibility and safety more seriously than you, there is data showing less accidents with lights on during the day, especially reduction in pedestrian hits.

I'm more peeved by the people that don't turn on their lights at dawn and dusk, accidents waiting to happen, I flash idiots that have their lights off when it's almost dark.

 

Source?

 

Yesterday someone honked back at me for cutting me off. For real, is it really that hard to get on the go pedal and get up to speed quickly? I shot the middle finger and returned the favor.

 

some jack ass in front of me spits or pukes out the back window, looks like chocolate milk which sprays onto my windshield. And I just had run out of washer fluid...

 

Eww

 

tell me about it...I was like wth!...

 

looked more like chocolate milk...

 

Maybe tobaccy?

 

nah looked just like chocolate milk. I was just in disbelief it sprayed on my windshield.

 

Well then lol

 

When work crews block an entire road in both directions to work on one small area...

I encountered this today during my usual shortcut through a residential neighborhood near my house. They had blocked an entire section of road and they were just doing some digging off to the side. These were not PennDOT guys, just a private construction crew, and there were no cops present. I moved two cones out of the way and just drove through the blocked area. The workers didn’t do much of anything.

 

I got an LED bar facing back. You like to drive with your bright on? Guess what. Mine are brighter.

 

In those cases you can’t do much...

 

I hate how these people slow down to like 30mph when theres an accident on the OTHER side of the expressway. Its like, lady move it, do you also pull over when a police officer pulls someone else over?

 

I just discovered a new one. Pumping gas in the peak of summer, and the next car waiting has to park right on my rear bumper. Like a mere 10 feet further away would be perfectly acceptable for all parties involved, but no, you gotta put your hot-ass radiator right up where I'm standing. Its already 100 degrees out, I'm trying to swipe my card and get this shit done as quickly as possible, and your damn grill is pumping out the byproduct of an overworked A/C compressor right in my face. Were not on personal terms like that, stranger. Back the fuck off.

 

Just this past weekend a major freeway in my town got shut down for construction work. Messed up traffic on the road I take to and from work.

 

I probably said in here once before but it keeps happening to me almost daily so I'll say it again...

People that pull out into cross traffic with 2+ lanes to choose from and yet they ALWAYS pull into the lane that has an oncoming vehicle and force that car to slam it's brakes or swerve to miss hitting them.

Seriously how hard is it to either wait until traffic completely clears or at the very least, pull into the lane that doesn't have another vehicle barreling down it at 45+mph.

And then half the time when you honk at them they look at you like you're in the wrong, and it was their right to pull in front of you from a dead stop and nearly cause a wreck.

This alone makes me want to put train horns on my truck
