Driving pet peeves

tailgaters...

 

when you are in a double lane road going the same direction and few to zero people around and one idiot always pulls up in your blindspot lurking...not passing not falling behind... Its like you have 20 miles of open road and you want to lurk in my blindspot!

 

Tailgaters are the worst for me and those who speed up and wait to the last second to stop behind me on the freeway

 

Two pet peeves that most probably don't notice.
-When people brake before signaling for a turn.
-When people don't turn from their appropriate lane. They'll just straddle two lanes and hinder traffic rather than fully entering their lane.

 

Why does this matter?

 

It's not a big deal as drivers should be leaving enough room between vehicles to make a sudden stop if necessary. But for me, the added warning gives me a chance to cover my brakes early and/or move to another lane if empty and continue on without impeding the flow of traffic.

 

Valid points.

 

1. Messing with their phone
2. Putting on signal as they're turning.
3. Fuckwads that smoke with kids in the car

 

I think a lot of people just want to know that someone in front of them is turning so they can try to "perfectly" time the car being out of the way without hitting the brakes. It's a dangerous trick that seems too frequently to end in an accident. I've learned to not trust a blinker. So for me, it doesn't matter if you use a blinker or not. I'm still going to wait until I know for sure what the person is doing. Even then, it's madness out there.

 

4. A**holes that throw their cigarette butts out the window onto the ground. Double a-hole for the ones that bounce off my windshield first.

 

I always brake early and put my signal on early in hopes that the idiot behind will, at some point, look up from their phone and see either my brake lights or the flashing signal before driving up my ass.

And yes...It's safer for me to assume every other driver is an unqualified idiot until they prove otherwise

 

My pet peeves are when a car comes to a complete stop than making a right turn and stopping all the traffic behind.Also no signal until they come to a stop mid turn.Use your damn signals its what they are there for.People who casually drive slow trying to merge onto the freeway.Dont go 25 while trying to merge,Its a freeway.
Driving the speed limit and here in Sacramento some idiots pull right in front of you slowing everybody down.Too many more to state,tells you a lot of people can't drive.

 

Yup, no doubt. I watched a car rear end another at 3 mph today. Dude was looking at his phone. I can't count the number of people I see looking at their phones while driving. I'm no saint but I usually save it for when I'm at a light (which isn't exactly legal either...nobody's perfect).

 

When people aren't paying attention when the light turns green...f*ing step on the gas people.

 

Yeah... I've definitely been guilty of this. I've done it in cars with the Collision Avoidance features too and scared the hell out of me when the brakes kick in.

 

Yea. Can't say I have done it many times. But now I'm getting older and wiser and usually have my kids with me. I've had too many close calls when people have changed their mind at the last second, deciding not to turn.

 

How about the ones that wait until they're at the end of a dedicated turn lane to signal the turn...timing's off a little jackhole!

Then you got that one douche nugget in a line behind a "scared to merger" that is more important than anyone else putting up with ineptness and crosses multiple lanes to show you all how it's done.

 

If they're already in the dedicated turn lane don't we already know their intentions?

 

Bitch session page. I like it. I was thinking earlier today that it would be nice to have some place in TW to go and bitch. Well What do you know I find this thread!! Awesome. I could use a good bitch session to vent. People piss me off sometimes. Then I get a bad attitude and my don't give a fuck turns on and away I go. On the other hand I am as guilty as they are at times also. Call me a hypocrite if you may. I'll admit it.
