Driving pet peeves

[Setharion]

So the one thing i know i cant stand is when you come to a 4way lets say or some intersection and you pull up but the person that pulled up just about the same time on the other side is waving to your like theyve been waiting there for 10 years already, and they have that come on come on come on wave going on ...

That....puts a serious fast rage in me I guess i just feel like, wheres the fire. I always look to see if someone is waving me on to go ahead but they act like you should just go without stopping first or something lol

People on cell-phones who obviously can't multi-task. People who text while driving period.

Main pet peeve? Left lane slowpokes.

People who are turning right when I'm turning left, and they have the right of way but still wait for me to turn.

Also, I hate when people don't use turn signals.

I'm usually very easy-going, but when I'm driving it seems like everyone on the road has been put there specifically to piss me off. It's like I'm a magnet for bad drivers.

My other pet peeve is when there's a sign saying "Lane ends in 1000 feet" but instead of merging into the other lane as soon as possible, people wait until the very last minute and practically push their way into the lane that's not closed.

Especially if they are locals that drive the same route every day and know there is construction.

You guys have hit most of mine.
Cell-phones - people always drive at least 10 mph slower on the phone.

Left Lane slowpokes - My buddy is from Australia and it drives him nuts. Apparently there the left lane is only used for passing which makes sense really.

Illiterate Drivers - The folks that can't read that a lane is ending or that you can't turn left; etc . . .

Stickers - How many stickers do you need on your car? I see a direct correlation between lots of stickers and awful drivers.

Drivers on cell phones is really high up there on my list of pet peeves. Especially teenage drivers.

I have to say the Sunday driver, on Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday and Friday and Saturday. I mean seriously, you guys have your own day. Stay home on the rest of them.

I also can not stand the people that quickly pull out in front of you when there is no one behind you only to make a right hand turn down the next street a block or less away.

What really peeves me is when a 90 year old lady makes a right hand turn on red and instead of going into the right lane of the two lane road she pulls into the left lane into the path of an oncoming 2008 Chevy Silverado who then hits her car then your very own thus totalling it on, of all days, Friday the 13th. <----- True story. Mind you, I was sitting, not moving in a left hand turning lane at a red light.

That is all for now.

I hate when your in the car in general and you see someone peering into your car like they lost a pen in your car. What irks me even more is when I'm with my sister in the car and guys stare at my sister like a peace of meat like i'm not sitting there.

Hey Obiwan in this country the left lanes is suppose to be used for passing as well. Unfortunately it is never enforced. Anyway that was going to be my peeve. Those people who you can just tell that they are afraid of driving on the highway so they sit in the middle lane going 5-10 miles an hour under the speed limit. I am sorry but that is just as dangerous if not more dangerous then someone flying in the left lane. Drives me crazy. Get over to the right. Or those people who give you dirty looks because they ran a stop sign or like I had the other day when they cursed me out because they had a stop sign but I didn't so I continued to drive.

This is definitely my #1 peeve. I see this happen daily, and it irks me every time.

Overall, I'm a pretty chill driver. I guess I'm one of those annoying Sunday drivers every day of the week like someone mentioned, lol, but I never hold up traffic. I love to see people speeding around like they're super important when really they just left their house late and are desperately trying to get to work on time. I tend to tense up on the highway, but that place is just douche central: nobody obeys the speed limit, choosing instead to treat it like a lawless speedway. I do my part and stick to the middle/right lane, but man, there are some crazies out there. There is one highway here, highway 401, where the speed limit is 100 km/h, yet people get on your ass if you're doing any less than 130.

Oh yeah, I forgot one after reading some of these.

Old people. I don't mean people in their 60's and now even in their 70's who follow the rules of the road. I mean those late 70's into their 80's people who can barely control their own vehicle, much less pay attention to the traffic, and they possess even less ability to read street signs and warnings.

Sorry, but once you're physically and mentally unable to handle the road, get off.
