Driving annoyances

[habo9]

This mornin I drove into town , so I got on the motorway which was pretty quiet for a change so I was driving along in the 1st lane doing 60mph then I had to go from the 1st lane right across to the 3rd lane all because of a middle lane hogger doing 50mph this bugs the tits off me , why wasnt she in the 1st lane ? These people do my head in & there wasnt just one there where about 4 also I reckon 3 of them where middle aged or getting on a bit woman and one was an old guy , but I have noticed before it just seems to be these types of people that do this all the time and its really starting to drive me mad why arent the police pulling these people over , I reckon these people cause more accidents than speeders but nothing is done :ban:

What things annoy you when you are out on the road?

 

[tiger1977]

People who drive in the left lane (in the US), especially when they don't bother to move out of the way when a faster car is approaching them to pass.

The asshole who's going no where just as fast as you are but believes it's his/her divine duty to prevent you from switching lanes to get in front of them.

 

[sexarise! chick]

When people hold up traffic because they are on their cellphones. Or they cut you off without signaling.

I think we are thinking along the same lines :hatsoff:

Yes thats another "Im doing the speed limit so Im not moving attitude" , is this what you mean?

 

[habo9]

I also hate , here in the UK you get yellow grids in the middle of a junction , it means no one can stop in it but guess what? People stop in them all the time preventing you from moving through it sometimes your there for ages , that you end up raging and just forcing yourself through which is not good

What annoys me when I'm driving? Everyone else on the road, the pedestrians, animals, people working in the buildings I'm driving past. So basically just everyone and everything. Just like when I'm not driving.

But I find it's easier to get around London on public transport. Of course you want to kill every other passanger near you but at least it's not my responsibility to drive the fucking thing!

 

[habo9]

& bus , coach drivers they dont give a fuck they just pull out in front of you no matter how close you are

- Not using turn signal (just downright rude!)
- Eating, reading, shaving, texting, yakking on cell phone oblivious to everything else
- Using rear-view mirror to put on makeup
- Really loud bass stereos playing rap at stoplights
- Not taking your proper turn at 4-way stops in an effort to "be polite"
- Brights on when approaching another vehicle
- Assholes who pull their car in at an angle in parking lots to take up 2 spaces because they don't want their car to get any dings. (I have to really resist the temptation to key these fucks when I walk by)

And my personal favorite.....the guy who, in spite of the "left lane closed ahead" sign that was posted a mile back, continues to bolt down the fast lane in an attempt to cut in line at the last minute because he's too good to wait his proper turn like the rest of us. I hug the bumper of the car in front of me like I was glued to it when these assholes try to pull this stunt.

I despise every other motorist I meet/pass/near miss. The lane hogging thing is a pet peeve of mine too. Of course, it's illegal to under-take so I tend to illustrate the problem they create by not changing to the outer lane until the last possible moment, which should ring alarm bells to anyone half-awake. Do that and then immediately cross back into the first lane as soon as you've passed them. The more arrogant will hit their horn at you but those who know reason tend to get back into the first lane if only for their own safety.

Pet Peeve #2 is people who insist on blocking the entrance to gas-stations near traffic lights, whilst they wait for green.

is trying to enter gas-station near a junction. There's almost always some scrote whose blocked the entrance whilst he's waiting for the lights to change and blocking everybody from entering.

Lol yv mentioned more I had forgotton about , I take it brights are what we call full beam in the UK , yes this is very annoying as well ! Iv seen the 2 spaces ppl before over here I just thought they where bad drivers and couldnt park , never really thought it was to save there car from getting damaged. The music is a major pain in the ass but over here it isnt rap music , its really bad dance music I think they call it happy hardcore , it makes me gringe these guys think they are so cool they dont even realize how uncool they are lol :rofl:

 

[Hot Mega]

Yes thats another "Im doing the speed limit so Im not moving attitude" , is this what you mean?

No, not event that. You're in stop and go traffic, no one's going anyplace nor going to get there any faster but you want to exit. However, you have a large type asshole in the next lane engaging in general assholery for no good reason.

That is the worst because for all the other annoyances, that particular one is intentional and likely a prevailing factor in cases of road rage.

Another thing that pisses me right off , a few months ago I was driving by Loch Lomond now its just a single road all the way up , with traffic comin towards you on the otherside now there was a guy in front of me doin 55mph all the way along for miles so I got to about Luss & seen the other side was clear so I decided to overtake him , now remembering this guy could have went faster all the way along the road before I made my move , what does he do when he sees me at his side? Thats fuckin right the arsehole decided I wasnt getting by him and started to speed up , so now we had a game of chicken on our hands as now there were car heading straight for me yet this wanker still wasnt for letting me by , but the One thing I was sure of was I wasnt going head to head with the car coming towards me , I decided the arsehole guy would be better off in Loch Lomond so I just looked at him gave him a wave and smiled and cut right in on him , glad to say he shit it and slammed on the brakes , so with a two fingered salute out the window I went on my merry way but it should never have got any were near where it did , it could have up in disaster just because of a wanker who thinks he owned the road!!

Now I get you :nanner:

#1-People that just assume you are going to turn or let them cut you off.
#2-People that constantly tap their brakes, rather than just braking once to slow down.
#3-People that feel it's their personal mission to follow you as closely as possible.
#4-People that park their car on a 2 way road, so it allows for only one car to go through at a time.

Tailgating is definitely a problem which women, the world over, need explaining.

(Don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger.)

 

[habo9]

Another one - Caravans(motorhomes)

Where do they come from? During the winter you dont see them , but come Easter til October they are everywhere , they are a major pain in the ass!

I go snowboarding up at Glencoe , which from December to April is bliss , the roads usually clear with some of the most beautiful scenery you will see anywhere in the world and it only takes me 2 hours now come easter you cant get moving because of these pain in the arses doing 30mph everywhere , the journey ends up taking 3.5 to 4 hours and the worst thing about it is , there can be a 30 or 40 car chain behind these halfwits and they provide pulling over places for these people to pull into and let you by , but they dont. Thus in turn ending up with road rage which is never a good thing and it pushes people into trying to overtake them when they really shouldnt

Hot Mega rolling down the road when he is 2 days into a 3 day bender. :1orglaugh

 

[Legzman]

there is to much shit that pisses me off when I'm driving to list here. Pretty much everything.

My #1 would have to be people who pull out directly in front of me only to drive 20 mph under the fucking speed limit only to turn off a half mile down the road.
