    here are mine i reckon

    1. people that are going like 10 over the limit on the highway and when they see a cop with someone pulled over drop to 20 below IN THE LEFT LANE. he already got someone and doesnt care about you so keep going damnit!!!
    2. rubberneckers that continue to rubberneck 50 yards down the road.
    3. people who have little tiny cars right in front of me that think i have my brights on because my headlights are right in their mirror. then they flip me off. to remedy that i just stay behind them and turn my brights on for a few seconds then flip them off.
    4. i spend a lot of time driving on I-81 from DC to Tennesse because of where i live/ go to school and there are always a few people towing a minivan with a tiny sedan.
    5. people who think they deserve the right-a-way no matter what and drive as such
    6. anything on I-95

    People who turn into the empty left turn lane two blocks before their destination and drive the speed limit (in the turn lane) until they are at their turn. It always happens to me when I need to turn left to get to a Wal-Mart and I can't get in the lane because some deuche is already there or right next to me in a blind spot.

    I hate when people pull out in front of me (like what Richman21 said) but go 30 in a 40 or 20 in a 30. I don't touch the brakes until the last second where I'm 4 feet from their bumper

    This happened to me today ---

    Driving a full loaded dumptruck bout 55 mph around a sligh corner. all of a sudden what do i see... a group of about 10 bicyclists in the middle of my lane!! and of course they aint checking behind them at all. I don't think 90% of people realize how long it takes a fully loaded truck to slow down :( I layed on my air horn and they moved over as slow as they could and I barely made it past em. I know we are suposed to share the road and all that stuff, but those bikers need to stay on the white line and WATCH around them.

    :frusty: I forgot about that! I absolutely hate it when biciclists ride in the middle of the road doing 15 mph and don't move over. The roads near my house have no sidewalks because it is pretty rural and they always do that when there is 15' of dirt shoulder they could be riding on (unless their on a road bike, then I understand but they could at least get over as much as possible). I always have to wait until there is no traffic coming the other direction to pass them (double yellow lines in the middle).

    There is a rural portion of my delivery area that is south of the city's lake. The only road that is on that side of the lake is a 3.5 mile two lane road with s-curves, hills and ditches the whole way. Around 4 to 5:30 every afternoon, bikers with their $700+ bikes take to this road on their daily commute slowing traffic to a crawl because nobody can pass on this 3.5 mile road in rush hour traffic.

    the fake hood scoop, ah that cracks me up

    i do not let people off of ramps that do not turn their turn signals on. they think that they deserve to get in wherever or whenever they want?

    another is the ones who know their lane is running out, i always close the gap and make them find another hole to get in. its not like they didnt have a 2 mile notice.

    This one is for us truck drivers...
    Traffic comes to a complet stop and you are very limited on your stoping distance and everyone decides to get infront of you. Makeing your stoping distance even shorter. I have ruind a set of trailer tires just to avoid killing the jack ass that cut infront of me.:mad:

    yall should get some road rage mgmt :D

    i guess growing up in one of the worst cities statistically to drive in...ive learned that people are going to drive like dumbasses regardless...so the best thing i can do is be a defensive driver, prepare for their stupidity...and still arrive at my destination safely

    i took my frustration with drivers a step further than most people...

    im not only LE, but im certified by the state as a driving instructor and do that in my free time...

    thats right...i teach teenagers the safe and legal ways to drive

    HeHe great thread.

    -Like others mentioned: People that feel the need to pass you and then slow down. There is no other traffic, I am maintaining my speed, why the hell must you do this? So annoying.

    -Drivers unaware of what speed zones they are in for whatever reason. Example: The speed limit is 55mph and the road is straight yet they do 40-45. After 3 miles of driving like this they then decide to get up to 55-60 just as the road turns curvy. Then the speed limit drops to 40 and I slow down for it while they keep going 55-60. WTF?

    -People who have road rage on you when you aren't doing anything wrong. This happened to me a few years ago before I got the Taco. Rush hour traffic on 4 lane city road. I pull up to a red light with my blinker on and stop. Since there are 2 signs, one that says no turn on red at the side of the road and one that says wait for green light hanging next to the light, I don't turn right on red. This guy behind me begins immediately laying on the horn and continues the whole time I'm at the light, yelling and bitching, waving his arms, etc. Hey a-hole? Can you read the 2 signs? I'm not going to break the law and risk a ticket just for you. Or an accident considering traffic coming the other direction may have a green arrow to turn left. That's why the 2 signs are there you illiterate, selfish, hissy-fit throwing moron.

    -People who change lanes without looking or signaling and almost run you off an elevated highway while you are doing 65 mph.

    -And my #1 pet peeve is excessive tailgating when there is no reason to. You know...when you are in traffic and there is no way you can speed up yet the person behind you has to be as close as possible. I especially hate this when I am on my motorcycle. If I have to stop quick in a regular vehicle I just would get rear ended. On my bike I could die. Not very considerate.

    /rant lol

    I don't know if it is somthing in the water here or what but people often seem to stop 20' from the intersection or 20' behind the next car at red lights. I pull infront of them on the moto but it drives me crazy in the truck.

    Local freeway is 65mph, I set the cruise at 70, someone always has to pass me and then do 69mph. wtf!
