Just taking a survey of what bugs or annoys you and brings you close to road rage about other drivers on the road.

Mine is tailgating and no signals.

 

Sometimes the voices in my head get too loud and call me names.

 

Mine is when someone pulls out right in front of me and goes like ten under the speed limit,oh and there is nobody behind me as far as the eye can see.

Pulling out of my driveway...

 

You would get much more input if you posted this under the General Discussion area.

 

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.

Big trucks in both lanes slow poking it through town catching every light.

I could go on and on about this, but it only makes things worse!

 

I've learned to deal with people not using turn signals and people breaking for absolutely no reason so I say:

1) Traffic caused by construction that is not on the road, the just put up the cones and lose down a few lanes for parking spots.

2) When people walk in front of me in parking lots. Don't they know there is a greater chance of the them being turned into a pancake then me stopping in time.

 

Pepole who drive slower or at the posted speed limit as well as those in front at a red light that when it turns green take 20 years to get going or so it seems just to name a few.

this one is a favorite up here. guy goes 5 under the limit until you try to pass. yep then it's ***** to the wall while he races with you to stay in front. as soon as you are safely behind him ... you guessed it. back to 5 under the limit.

 

PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO CLUE THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE ON THE ROAD!!!!! Only THEY exist and nothing else matters! Slow, fast, no signal, the spectrum of ignorance!!

I live near Wash DC and MANY people from other countries live here! They learned to drive in thier native countries (or maybe not).... Things don't work the same here and they are OBLIVIOUS to the fact that we WANT THEM TO LEARN TO DRIVE BY OUR RULES!!!!!!!!

Ok class ready? Repeat after me:

LEFT LANE FAST - RIGHT LANE SLOW

Again! LEFT LANE........

Some Americans have this problem too!

One thing we have no control over, their will ALWAYS be stupid, clueless people! WE have to live with them! Besides, they make us average people look good!

Perhaps the Drivers test should come with a COMMON SENSE SECTION!!!! WOW!!!! With this section weighted the most. Like 75% of the grade????

That might cure the problem we have with congestion! A lot of people would fail that test and FREE UP SOME TAR, BABY!!!!!!!!

I know, I raged!

I'm fairly calm when I drive but I really hate when this happens: I keep almost 1 1/2 car spaces of room infront between me and the next car. I have to, this monster has a LOT of weight to get stopped. I HATE when someone zipps into my stopping space and then puts on their brakes. I also have an issue with people that park next to me in the parking lot. Even on the worst days, I will park as far from the store as possible. I come back out, there's still 50k empty spots avaible and there they sit, right next to me. And then there's the people that just drive their cars all over the parking lot, they have no clue that there are marked driving places, like roads, and that I have the right of way because I happen to be driving on the road.
Another thing is those people that make left hand turns but they are still in the right hand lane, hey, didn't you see my HUGE ford truck next to you??? NO!!!
But I do try to avoid all of this because as mad as I could get, I would be even madder if the idiot driver hit me. So I try to remain calm and keep control of the situation. Wreaks are not fun, especially if it's your prized Ford truck.
I lived in DC for a year!! Yep, driving there is the worst!!! Then you also have to put up with the crappy roads. I had to drive 295 a lot, it's narrow, it's underconstruction, there's gonna be a wreak somewhere along your route, half the people are talking on cell phones and they all think they are late for something. I am so glad to be out of there

1) People who pull out in ront of me, don't they know I could squish the with my rather large truck?
2) People who take forever to pass the car in the right lane, if you're not going to pass then stay in the right hand lane!
3) Tailgaters!!!
4) Rubberneckers, you know those people who have slam on their brakes to see the accident on the other side of the expressway. Don't they realize they could cause another one involving them? They also do the same anytime they see a police car within 100 miles, after all they just might stop them for going 5 miles under the speed limit.
5) Those who are going 100 miles an hour and come out of nowhere. I mean here I am doing 5 miles an hour over the speed limit and they go by me like I'm sitting still. And god forbid if I'm passing someone already and they have to slow down. I usually go fast enough to pass most traffic but not so fast I could get pulled over and these people are going at least 80 mph when they pass me.

OK I think I'm finished venting now. There are just too many idiots out there.

Elderly people who drive danerously slow, like 40 in a 75. Elderly people who can see little and hear less. These types are unpredictable and can do the unexpected at any time! I also get almost into road rage mode when I see a Jeff Gordon bumper sticker on some fools car!

1) People who take 3 miles to pass on the interstate, when the other vehicle is going 69, in a 75 mph zone, in perfect weather.

2) People who speed up to your speed and sit on your bumper after you pass them.

3) People who come back in from a pass, right in front of my bumper. If they can't see my front end in their center rear view, they came in too soon.

4) People who pull out without looking, then drive 10 mph under the limit, forcing me to stand on my brakes to avoid rearending them.

5) People whose lane-changing could be better described as an attempt to make their car go sideways.
