Opinions wanted: Driving moves that drive you nuts!

[DATYdude]

My pet peeve is the driver who when making a left turn doesn't go far enough into the intersection, so nobody else can make the turn on a yellow light. Burns me up.

Second most hated move, the "last-second lefty", i.e. signals at the last second, and you get stuck behind them. OK sometimes it's a last second decision, but often it's just laziness/forgetfulness.

Any others to add?

scared drivers......if you are frightened of driving....get off the road! .....You're just going to cause an accident!

Driving slow in the left lane.....drives me nuts!

 

[TheNiteHwk]

Long list...

Oh boy... I could make one heck of a long list...

But here are just a couple...

Of course slow drivers in the fast lane. They really burn me up.

Drivers (most of the time taxi drivers) that cruise down the middle of two lanes and can't decide what lane they want.

Taxis (again) that pull over to pick someone up or drop someone off and the front of the car is in the curb lane while the rear of the car is half way out in the middle lane... so blocking both lanes.

And last but not least... as a pedestrian... drivers that don't stop (or even slow down) at a crosswalk.

 

[WhaWhaWha]

Other drivers really cheese me off! Why can't they all get off the road? Its mine! All mine!

 

[doubledown]

Drivers who aren't ready to turn left on an advance green.
Slow drivers in the passing lane on the highways.
Drivers on cell phones and oblivious to the traffic around them.
Cabbies.
Drivers who have to "wind up" to make a turn.
Drivers who don't signal.

Passengers are ok.

Did I say Cabbies?

The most annoying move is the triple or quadruple lane change to hit some exit off the highway, without signaling, while on the phone. If you know you have to exit soon, slow down and get in the right lane, and for god's sake, put the phone down long enough to signal. Even worse when they're pulling a freakin' trailer with Goober's mom waving out the window.

Some idiot trying to merge on the 401 from an on ramp at 70 km/hr .

A 1992 Chev Cavalier going 140 in a snowstorm .

Doing 120 on the shoulder during a trafffic jam .

Backing up on the shoulder because you missed your exit .

All seen in the last six weeks .

Tailgaters all they do is make me slow down since I have to make absolutely sure I don't have to suddenly bake. Drivers who have to get close to you in a snow storm and I'd say most of all the driver that maintain any kind of steady speed. They do 35mph in a 55mph zone when you can pass them and then do 70mph when you can. If you need to go slow for whatever reason that's fine, but put a speed and stay at it.

slow left lane drivers - i don't care if ur doing 120 or whatever, if i'm up ur ass, get outta the way. and if u slow down on purpose, well, ur an idiot and if i have the time i'll ask u to pull over and "discuss" matters.

just get in the middle lane and return to the left once i've passed. stop driving like an old lady unless u r one. if u r then we should consider evoking ur license or provide some driving do's and don'ts to follow.

i'll stop tailgating when u learn how to drive.

to those who can't stand slow left lane drivers, high beam them to get them to move. if they're pricks about it i have a way to get them back. pm for details.

On a highway. I'm in the right lane minding my own business. Some idiot comes roaring up, passes me on the left, and then takes the exit ramp a quarter mile ahead.

I've started to give them the finger when I drive on past.

 

[James_kw]

People changing lanes in the middle of an intersection

Just not signalling in general really bugs me

 

[Cardinal Fang]

Not speeding up when animals cross the road.

 

[Garrett]

Ok, this pisses me off... someone turning left, in the left turn lane, and they need to pull out a bit to the right (over the solid line) in order to sweep wide enough to make the turn. It is like they think they are driving an 18 wheeler and need the mother of all turning radiuses or they are going to roll it!

Number two on my list are people who are afraid to pass a cop car when it is driving under the speed limit!

 

[Ickabod]

The driver coming off a side road on your right, making a right hand turn in front of you, cutting you off as if they're in some big fat hurry......then driving 10 miles (or kilometers) under the speed limit.

 

[paradise_escort]

haha..this should be a joke thread..
drivers who read the newspaper with their left hand, drink coffee with their right, steer with their left knee on the left lane during peak hour leaving 20 bus lenghts between them and the car infront of them.
oh ya and anyone who drives slower than 130 on the left lane deserves to get a ticket for holding up traffic.
they need to have a "fast" lane all by itself like they have down south or change the damn speed limit to "variable".
Variable would depend on what car you have, you should be allowed to do 70% of your cars potential. Therefore the twin (porsche) is limited to 210km/hr..and an 88 celebrity is limited to 105 km/hr. Im sure the porsche can brake to a standstill from 210 quicker than a celebrity can from 105.
hey i may be on to something..
*not a chance*

 

[jerbear]

Truckers that think 130km/hr. is normal.

 

[The Bandit]

What I really hate is people who want to get in, in front of you. And when you let them, they don't acknowledge it. Just a little wave would be fine.

Just yesterday a lady let me in, and when I waved to her, she waved back, how nice.

 

[jerbear]

Did you exchange phone #'s

 

[jerbear]

I've actually had people phone me about my driving.
Hate having the # on the back of my van.
