    1- people pulling out in front of me when they could have waited another 5 seconds for me to pass and then pulled out behind me. Then of course, only to go 1/2 mile up the road and turn into McDonald’s.

    2- divided highway intersections. People think this is the time when they are supposed to be on the left side of the road, blocking your view of oncoming traffic.

    I'll actually throw out a new one.

    Paper plates. Fuck this scam, and letting it go this long without cracking down. I mean, I'd love to run around in an uninsured car that won't pass inspection and not bother stopping if I hit someone... oh wait, I don't want to do any of that because I'm not a complete piece of shit.

    It's for some of these people that I sometimes wish I'd install one of those auxiliary train horns on the truck. Just for certain situations... But then I would become the person I once hated :D

    I don't have enough fingers for the amount of times I've seen, or been a victim of someone turning from the outside left turn lane, and suddenly deciding to make a u-turn across the path of the inside left turn lane.

    like how are you either so oblivious, or so uncaring about the rules of the road?

    Ok, I'm turning left from a left turn lane with a green arrow on the signal light. Guy in oncoming lane wants to turn right. So he's going to be going the same direction as me once we both turn. He doesn't hesitate and starts into his turn as I am midway through the intersection. Somehow he thinks he has the right of way since he is turning right and I am turning left and flips me off. I had a green arrow which means he had a red light which means he can only turn right on red if all clear. F#%king morons.

    Plus he has to stop completely first. Even then he is required to stay in the curb lane and only merge left as able. You with the green arrow have full access to all lanes unless there are multiple left turning lanes in which case your target lanes are clearly marked. World is full of shits that can’t drive or ignore the law.

    To jump on the turn lane discussion.

    Those who can't think ahead drive me bonkers. Why are you in the left, left turn lane when you want to make a right at the next intersection!?!

    Now for road sign complaints. Half the signs here for the right turn lane say "from curb lane" and the other half say "from turn lane". This means I can turn right from the turn lane that is not the curb turn lane, but that guy on the inside doesn't realize I can do that and turns from the curb lane to immediately blows across three lanes to make a left at the shopping center.

    People who don't think ahead are some of the worst IMO.

    One time, I was stopped at a dedicated left turn, with two left turn lanes. I was on the inside lane. Light turns green, and lady on the outside turn lane shoots forward to pull a u-turn across my lane. Good thing I was paying attention.

    Either an asshole or oblivious. I think the oblivious ones are probably so much worse.

    I use the shit out of my cruise control and I wish others did too

    Why do people speed up when you try to pass them? I'll be cruising in the slow lane somewhere between 60-65, I pull out to pass someone doing 60 and suddenly they're overcome with the desire to go 70. All I'm trying to do is pass someone and leave them alone, instead they start creeping up in speed, matching me door to door. I look down and we're both going 75 for some fucking reason.. dude WTF? I'm just trying to pass you, who cares. 2 minutes ago you were only comfortable doing 60, now all of a sudden you find the courage to go 70 in the rain. Why are you humping my leg? Just let me pass so I can get back over in the right lane where I should be..

    This often leads to a "yo-yo" situation..
    2 lanes, open hwy, slow lane and fast lane.. I pull out, pass a slower car, get back over. They decide they don't want to be behind me so they speed up, pull out and pass me, and get back over. 1 minute later they forget and start slowing down (because no cruise control), I then have to pull out and pass them again, the cycle repeats. It's like a 60 sec attention span cycle

    Use your fucking cruise control

    Agreed!

    And the f-ing reason I despise radar cruise control.

    On and off freeway ramps lately. AZ drivers always mumble along at a snails pace and never accelerate clogging up dozens of cars and nearly causing a pile up. Not to mention the idiots who fart along in the slow lane and refuse to move over and let traffic enter the freeway from the on ramp. Let us merge! :D

    Regarding off ramps; idiots who have to cut off traffic merging onto the freeway off ramp so they can take the same exit. For f**** sake just brake and go behind the cars merging onto the freeway. Don't make everyone else slam on the brakes for ya. :burp::burnrubber:

    Also, the dumb dumbs playing with their phones at the stop light intersections making others behind them miss the light. :annoyed:

    Yesterday I was the guy taking a right turn. The guy with an arrow, stops and waves me through. I am not going anywhere until he clears the intersection. Eventually he proceeds but gives me a dirty look as he goes by.
    Then my wife asked why I did not go.

    That's annoying when people want to disrupt the right of way and flow of traffic, and for what I'll never know? Did you get out and give him a gold star for his kindnes?

    It does not annoy me, but I don't get people who don't realize that you can make a left hand turn quicker than the a right hand turn.
