Driving pet peeves

I knew this; I was making a LEFT so it doesn’t really help me...

 

It is illegal in Michigan. People do it all the time anyway.

 

Other people driving on the road

 

I think the best headlights I ever had in one of my vehicles was from my 2008 Canyon. I'd get flashed all the time until my stock bulb went out. I replaced them with brighter ones, but noticed my driver's headlight aligned a little lower. I stopped getting flashed though. The odd thing is the alignment of the brights didn't change and the low beam was in properly.

 

OH I CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THIS THREAD:
1) Not using blinkers
2) Speeding (I understand sometimes but weaving in and out of cars is stupid)
3) People that start to roll their car before the light turns green
4) People who merge at the last second (just take the exit, it's not worth it)
5) People that don't wear a seatbelt (Do you wanna die?)

I'm sure there's more...

 

People being afraid to pass trucks and slowing everything down is the biggest PITA, and going slow in the left lane of a highway, or any lane, or just going slow in general

 

Not gonna lie, high school girls are the scariest damn drivers ever. I live next to a high school. The guys are too busy bein asshats revving their motor and failing to do donuts in the parking lot, but the high school girls will t-bone you doing 60 in a 35 and Taylor swift will tell you to shake it off

 

To be fair, as long as the lane is open, they are well within their rights to drive to the end and zipper merge once the lane is closed off. That's actually what you're supposed to do to prevent traffic buildup, rather than every single person merging way earlier and slowing down 2 whole lanes of traffic. But in that scenario, it's assumed everyone knows how to zipper merge properly, which is rarely the case.

Now what really bugs me is when people will drive in the shoulder to get ahead to an exit, or when merging in, they keep driving in the shoulder to get ahead a few more cars, well after the lanes have merged. I edged a lady out once who tried this because I wasn't having any of that BS, and subsequently got yelled at and honked at for several minutes lmao.

 

People forget "zipper merge" doesn't mean "last second" merge. THAT is what causes the backup.

 

You would not like driving in those countries where it is illegal to make a right turn on a red even after stopping!

 

My driving pet peeve is New Jersey.

 

this crap is widespread around here

 

*cough* Mexico *cough*

The other one that I liked in Baja was when the truck in front of you uses the left turn signal to tell you when it's safe to pass. Unless they're turning, then they also use the left turn signal...

 

People that drive aggressively because you are driving the speed limit

 

People who have pet peeves that don’t realize they are doing the very same thing they’re complaining about.

 

Bingo

“seat too reclined or face literally 2 inches from the steering wheel”

 

No, I'm pretty anal about using my turn signal.

 

When you're a mile or less from home, you have to use the bathroom, and the person in front of you is driving 5-10 MPH below the speed limit!

 

There is no shame in pooping your pants.
