Other drivers who.......

by bigmamou - 6/1/06 11:49 PM In reply to: What gets under your skin about other drivers? by Marc Bennett Moderator

........don't pull over for emergency vehicles and even use the opportunity to pass the drivers who do pull over (karma dictates that those idiots get to die while being transported to the hospital by EMT's trying to save their lives after they've had a massive heart attack!). Next - those morons who don't stop for pedestrians in crosswalks...I just witnessed a young woman with a baby in her backpack pushing a stroller with another baby standing at a crosswalk while dozens of inattentive drivers passed the other direction while I was stopped waiting for her! Those drivers need to get hit in a crosswalk by a Hummer! Last but not least how about drivers who never signal their intentions - they are completely oblivious to every other driver on the road. I don't know what kind of death is too good for them, maybe when they finally use their turn signal but put it on for the opposite turn and get creamed by a passing driver! Okay, I'm through!

LANE DIVERS!

by tommycooperatl - 6/2/06 8:22 PM In reply to: What gets under your skin about other drivers? by Marc Bennett Moderator

Those idiots that dive into a lane that is exiting or entering a freeway and has a long line of cars patiently waiting their turn. Burns my a$$.

Slow drivers in the #1 lane is up there too.

Late!

Shopping Center Parking IDIOTS

by mdash1 - 6/6/06 2:57 PM In reply to: What gets under your skin about other drivers? by Marc Bennett Moderator

There are many things that drive me crazy about other drivers -- especially the inconsiderate cretans who hang out in the left (passing) lane.

But I think I have one that hasn't been posted yet. You know how shopping center and mall parking lots are designed so that cars can drive down one lane and up the next and parking spots are angled to match the direction cars are supposed to be going? Well, I cannot stand the IDIOTS who drive the wrong way, find a spot, and then (because they are angled the wrong way) cannot park in the space properly, usually requiring several points to turn so they fit in. Very often, these morons are driving SUVs and take up the whole lane anyway.

What's worse is when they swear at you or make some other offensive gesture when you try to get them to realize that they're going the wrong way!

The FINGER

by mdash1 - 6/6/06 3:03 PM In reply to: What gets under your skin about other drivers? by Marc Bennett Moderator

Could someone please tell me why I deserve to receive the "finger" from someone after they have just done something unsafe, such as cutting me off, and I honk to warn them? Why, when I'm traveling down the interstate with my family on a rainy Sunday afternoon, does a large SUV have the right to cut into the passing lane without even signalling when I'm already even with their rear bumper or tire, leaving me with a choice: severely brake or collide? Why then do I deserve to receive the "finger" as we pass them later because I reflexively honked when they almost run us off the road? It's like, "I get to shoot my gun at you whenever and wherever I please, and if you complain, you are the problem, not me."

They are all revelent. Maybe the choices should have gone from the highest to the lowest. Anyway my all time
favorite would be failure to signal a lane change especially at a high rate of speed. Of course there is
the signal that is still flashing for the past.......

Drivers who change lanes without the light!

by PC_Nerd-Henry_Chan - 6/7/06 8:51 AM In reply to: What gets under your skin about other drivers? by Marc Bennett Moderator

When i'm going to school, i have to cross this big road, and then cars go up and there isn't a pedestrian crossing at the part i'm crossing (it's on a mountain) and I never know when i car is going to wham into me or turn left, turn right, go to left lane, or go to right lane. It's just terrible. And the school's on the moutain. If i'm going to the traffic light, walk down, walk along kings street and go up up up again!

So frustrating that drivers don't flash lights when they turn/switch lanes.

Cell phone use.

by tjmoyer - 6/13/06 4:42 PM In reply to: What gets under your skin about other drivers? by Marc Bennett Moderator

I am tired of everyone complainig about cell phone use while driving. The real issue is common sense. There seems to be too many people that don't utlize common sense when they think, drive, and use their cell phones. Common sense is lost in the world today.

Cell phone use

Exactly. As I mentioned before in this forum, cell phones have become the scapegoat for those who are not interested in solving the REAL problem.
