Driving pet peeves

Oxymoron. If you are on your phone, you are not looking for the green light.

 

Kind of the point of the post...

 

My pet peeve with passengers while I'm driving.

One of my biggest pet peeves is don't toot my horn. When there's a cute chick walking by or a idiot driver, whatever reason. I hate it when my passenger reach over and honk my horn. Then that person who's being honked at thinks it's me. Really pisses me off.

2nd pet peeve is backseat driver. Don't yell "Go this way!" at the last second that you can't make the turn. Just let me drive the route I want to go. Relax, we will get there.

3rd pet peeve, if you bring anything in my truck, bring it back out with you. I think it's disrespectful to leave your trash, candy wrappers, soda bottles, finger nails, boogers, crackpipe, etc in your friends car.

My pet peeves of other drivers.

1st pet peeve, other drivers not letting you change lanes. It's not like I'm cutting in front of you in line at the cafeteria.

2nd pet peeve, people wrecking everyday on the hwy. You stop and go at low speed in rush hour traffic and boom, hit the car right in front of you? These preventable accidents adds 20 minutes to an hour to my trip, making me late to work. Pretty much every frickin day, there's 1 to 3 accidents on 12 miles stretch of hwy. I counted 6 once. My truck gonna get rear ended 1 day, I just know it. I think they should be fined for causing a lane to close down, making traffic really bad, causing hundreds of people being late to work.

3rd pet peeve, people who don't know right of way, like at a 4 way stop sign.

There's more but I'm gonna stop here.

 

You wouldn't happen to be from the Cincinnati area, would you? That sounds exactly like the people here - An avoidable accident (or 6) every day for no good reason. Traffic is always bad because some idiot hit something.

 

People who go balls to the wall to cut 1 or 2 cars ahead; not getting where you're going any faster...

watching people park or pull out is painful to watch sometimes too, people make 12 point turns when they can make it out in 1

 

The constant brake-tapper. Just let off the gas pedal, it'll accomplish the same thing and not make me hate you and force me to pass you at my earliest convenience (and probably your inconvenience).

 

I usually wait until approaching traffic is close before I dim my lights so they'll know I dimmed them.

Women texting or talking on cell phones

 

Doesn't take a lot of skill to understand the sequence of the light and know approximately how much time you have until the light changes. Subtract a few seconds as a fudge factor and look up every so often to double check. Instead people just bury themselves in their phone for 4 minutes and forget they are even in a car stopped at a red light.

 

What about men doing it?

 

My next dog will be named peeves. Just so I can drive him around

 

My biggest peeve about other drivers is no one ever seems to know how to use a fuc*ing merge lane. They sit at the yield sign or red light and wait for traffic to clear completely or the light to change green.

DRIVES ME ABSOLUTELY NUTS

 

...^^^... Anybody texting and driving makes me nuts.

I have had many more bad experiences with women than men for some reason.

Have seen 2 women go through a red light in the village and not even know what they did.

Pure luck that they didn't hit anybody.

 

Pull out in front of you and POKE ASS

 

Pedestrians... Every single one of them. Jk.

Last night I saw a group of pedestrians waiting to cross and one of them was just standing off the curb on the road and the rest were on the edge just raring to go.
Not a big deal except I've known people who have been hit by cars jumping the curb during a turn.

 

I don't worry about pedestrians...that lose that battle everytime.

 

*too

People who don't turn their lights on at dusk and dawn and during rain or foggy weather.

I personally drive with my lights on ALL the time so I can be more visible to others on the road. It's just a safety thing for me.

 

In Canada, all vehicles are equipped with Daytime Running Lights.
I think it's funny people go out of their way to deactivate a safety feature.
Also, with so many cars now having standard Auto On/off headlights, why are so many people still not using that feature??
