The thing that bothers me the worst is thosetalking on cell phone while they are driving. These people never pay att. to what is going just to the person they are talking to.

also people who drive a lexus, these people think they own the road

changed my mind...

My road rage usually starts when I'm in a big hurry and think everyone out there is trying to slow me down on purpose.

When I don't see that little car in the lane next to me and I almost hit it while changing lanes.

It really makes me mad when the guy in front of me is doing the speed limit and causing me to slow down and drive safe.

And what about the guy in front of me that thinks that just because the light has turned yellow, he has to slow down, possibly preventing an accident.

And since I'm a perfect driver, I really hate it when I don't see a vehicle coming and pull right out in front of it. It's a good thing the jerk has good brakes or I'd be getting a new truck.

Of course, being the perfect driver, I never take my eyes off the road while I look for a radio station or put in another tape. I always have both hands on the wheel; except when eating those french fries I had the other day.

Im glad the road had two lanes a couple of weeks ago when I spilled that hot coffee in my lap. I ran a whole bunch of people off the road. Good thing they got out of my way!

I like to test the brakes on the 18 wheelers. Pull right out in front of them, my life depending on the 18 small pieces of rubber to hold back 80,000 lbs. No problem.

I'm just glad alot of good drivers are out there driving defensively, being patient and showing a little courtesy. Otherwise I would really get mad!!!!

 

Your right Motorcycle man! Last summer I pulled the wheel from my girlfriend as she was changing lanes and didn't see the biker, I did see because I always look in the mirrors when i'm a passenger anyway.

But in defense of us car/truck owners some bikers go way to fast on the highways, I've seen them pass me when I was going (way too fast in a ZX2, very dumb of me) 175km/h 108 mph!!!! One of my friends shows off and sais he does 160 mph on the highway. This is stupid behaviour, if you have a street legal race bike, it does not mean the highway is a race way for you. Sorry I guess it makes me mad to see people endanger themselves like that But I agree with you and I'm very carefull and watch out for bikers, I can imagine how MAD you get. Drive safely.

Yes, People in the left lane that will not get out of the way!

People who are going 56 mph trying to pass the guy going 55 mph.

SMALL CARS that pull out into the passing lane on a large, long hill and don't have enough b@!!$ to get out of their own way, never mind passing anyone.

The thing that really peeeves me off are SLOW people first thing in the morning that get in front of me on my way to work. Then they pull into Dunkin Donuts a 1/4 mile from work. Grrrrrrrr.

when people go 20 under the speed limit and turn off making sure not to tip over at a speed of maybe .2mph... I normally have to smoke the tires off as I accelerate away.

 

PEOPLE WHO DONT STOP AT 4 WAY STOP SIGNS JUST SO THEY BEAT YOU!!!

PEOPLE WHO GRIDLOCK!!!

PEOPLE WHEN TURNING MUST TAKE UP THE WHOLE STREET SO I CANT PASS!!!

Awsome thread to vent.....

 

People who ride thier brakes.
People who get over in front of you and then slow down!!!!!

 

i hate people that pull out infront of you and go super slow

 

I hate when people get in the way when I'm towing trailers... like, duh, I need to make a wide turn so I don't take down a road sign with my trailer.

I hate it when people don't use turn signals properly.

I hate it when people cut me off.

I hate when people try to race me in my Dakota.

I hate when people think that they can squeeze their honda civic through a road full of double parked cars.

I hate when people stop for a green light.

I hate when people stop for a yield when there is NO traffic besides them and myself behind them.

I hate it when a light is going to turn from red to green, and they slam on their brakes... makes me have to jump down two gears and waste gas.

I hate it when people are backing out of a parking space, and they are pretending to drive a Peterbilt.

I hate when people try to merge in front or close behind me in a lane closure due to construction work.

I hate when people talk on their cell phones, that also include yelling on the cell phone too. It's pretty bad when I'm doing 65 with their windows rolled up and mine are rolled up and I can hear them screaming on their cell phone.

I hate when people think they can multitask while driving... like talking on a cell phone, while eating, drinking, smoking, and changing the radio station on their radio.

I hate it when people cars have unbalanced wheels... sitting there watching them wobble like crazy down the highway.

I hate it when someone in a Yaris blocks an entire intersection.

I hate it when someone tries passing me while I am towing... they think they can get by me until they see how excessively long my truck and trailer is. Like duh.

I hate it when people tailgate me while I AM doing over the speed limit.

I hate when people decide to take a left in the right lane in a double lane roadway.

I hate it when people ride the lines.

I hate it when people leave their high beams on.

I hate when people think it is ok to drive at night with no headlights.

I hate when people spray their washer fluid on to my truck from 3 car lengths away.

I hate it when school bus drivers immediately turn on their red lights and not waiting the 5 second yellow light rule. (I got out and told them I was going to call the bus garage... bet that scared them...)

I hate it when people think it's ok to do way under the speed limit to the point that they could rear ended.

I hate it when people don't pull over to the should enough.

I hate it when people don't look and open their car door up and almost have it torn off.

I hate it when people don't slow down in construction areas.

I hate it when people pull past the traffic light to the point where they cannot tell what color it is because they are practically in the middle of the intersection.

I hate it when people drive like maniacs around me.

I hate when people try to eat my Reese hitch for dinner in their front bumper. (People must have Reeses Pieces on their mind... )

I hate when people follow each other on both the left and right lanes of a double lane highway... it seriously congests up the highway very quick.

I hate when people jump the light behind me and almost rear end me.

I hate when people complain that their car's windshield just got chipped/cracked from a rock flying off my wheels. Like duh... don't tailgate me.

I hate when people try to drive front wheel drive cars like rear wheel drive cars.

I hate when people try to drive rear wheel drive cars like front wheel drive cars.

I hate it when people get up on my tailgate when I'm in a lot of snow or slush and I mash the pedal and their car gets plastered with road debris... like I really care... but don't be on my butt.

I hate when people park in parking lots with their lights on facing the road... like it's blinding people... and causes distractions.

I hate when people think it is ok for them to park 1" away from me.

I hate when people think it is ok to ram my door with their door making a nice big dent.

I hate when people park incorrectly (except in snow covered parking lots...).

I hate it when people flash me even though I don't have my highbeams on and my headlamps are aimed correctly.

That's just some of what I've seen... I've seen a lot more.

 

Wow manualf150 thats quite a list! You could have saved a lot of time and just stated you hate stupid people.
The three things that I cant stand is
1. Idiots that pull out in front of me when I am towing my boat.
2. People that drive 50mph in a 35mph zone then when the speed limit goes to 55 they keep going 50. These people are probably the most hazardous because they are oblivious to what is going on around them.
And 3. FOP's (fricken old people) that drive their class A motorhomes up here to Alaska and drive them 45mph. Most of the highways up here are 2 lanes (1 lane each direction) and there are almost no safe places to pass, it is very common to see 10 or more cars backed up behind a motorhome going 45 in a 65.
