Two complaints about drivers in my area

Post by **Kuja** » 2003-09-07 09:26pm

1. GO THE FUCKING SPEED LIMIT!

I don't want to be going 45 in a 45 zone in the right lane and passing you because you're doing 30 in the left. You are in the passing lane, you idiots! If you're a timid driver, get in the damn right lane!

2. USE YOUR GODDAMNED TURN SIGNALS!

I'm driving down the street when an oncoming car swerves into my lane before pulling into a restaurant, nearly giving me a heart attack. I swear to god, people never touch their fucking turn signals around here! Don't stop in the middle of a one-lane fucking road to make a left without letting people know what the fuck you're doing!

With that attitude, in Calgary you would get road rage within about 2 minutes.

People are idiots. Especially drivers.

My fav stupid driver trick is making a left turn from the right lane!

When driving on Quebec`s roads always drive 10 or 20 kmh above the speed limit,cause everyone does it.

And if you see an 18wheeler behind you get out of his way,the dumbass may be DWS (driving While Sleeping)

Yeah, I wonder how some people actually get their licenses. We had a blackout last week, and it while most people took it in stride, some idiots were completly lost. Some just waited around when they should have been treating the lights like a stop sign (gonna wait an hour for the light to turn green a-hole?). Worse yet, some elderly pricks didn't know what to do and just went as soon as the car in front of them did.

My favorite a-hole is from a year ago. The prick had the green light to go forward, and instead tried waving the right of way to the people who we waiting to turn left. Of course, they didn't go because they didn't want to go out of turn and be liable for an accident. He waited until the light turned red, then when it turned green again he waved the right of way again. Fucking idiot. The most insane thing is that the light is timed such that if he had gone the first time, there probably would have been enough time for the people to turn left anyway.

And in general, I particularly hate people who drive side by side on a two lane road when there is no traffic, and hence no reason to do it. Come on dick. Speed up, slow down, turn to the left or right or yield but DON'T FRIGGEN DO 55 IN A 65 NEXT TO ANOTHER DICK DOING 54.9!!!!!

Sorry about the venting. So, what other stories are there?

It seems that the new trend here is to ignore all stops signs, esp. when some else has the right of way.

My 2 biggest complaints of drivers in Cedar Rapids:

1) They can't drive straight! I drive behind some of these scmucks and they keep swaying back and forth, driving over the dividing line and then the shoulder, over and over, taking about 5 seconds to go from one side to the other. Doesn't matter if its a winding road or downtown; they drive like they're all stoned (then again, that was my high school's official pastime, so maybe they are).

2) If they insist on riding their brake on a hill, do it on the way DOWN!! Does it look like I want to sit behind you as you crawl up a 30-degree hill at 27MPH? Even if my car did have more than 80 HP, I'd kinda like to at least go the limit and avoid the chance of rolling backwards.

Come to Houston, I see this all the time. And it is one of the reasons why I drive a sports car; I need the acceleration to get away form the jerks who can't drive...

You only have two complaints? My co-workers will no longer ride with my in my truck because I cuss like a sailor at the unnatural stupidity of most Houston drivers. Every day is a new adventure in just how much I hate humanity.

The good news is that my work truck has a total value of $3000, so when that bitch in the Lexus or Camaro decides to get rowdy, I run her ass off the road.

Why do people do that!!?

Once coming across the Mississippi Bridge (which has four lanes) me and my friends got stuck right behind 4, count em, 4, yes, 4 dipshits all phalanxing side by side at 35mph (the speed limit on da bridge is 55), quite effectively forcing everyone down to that speed since no one could pass. Nope, these weren't cops, I can smell a cop from a mile away. These guys were just assholes doing what apparently comes naturally. So these fuckheads have this mile-long gap ahead of them and 600 feet (and rapidly growing) of angry bumper-to-bumper commuters behind em all the way till the offramps start splitting off on the West Bank side of the bridge. It was 1500hours in the afternoon, and I'm damn sure they were the direct cause of the record traffic jam that didn't clear till 2000 that night!! WTFH!!?!?

more like 25+ ......and those speed limits are high anyway. i almost got run off the road a few times on 133, it's a rustic country road were everyone thinks it's the Autobahn. People do stop for redlights on time though....especially in Montreal and Laval.

Nathan F · Post by **Nathan F** » 2003-09-08 12:58pm

Funny, here in Knoxville, if you go less than 5 MPH over the speed limit, you WILL get run over.

And what I hate are all the damn trailer-tractor rigs. They will get up trying to pass another one, get on a hill, and start LOOSING SPEED. The truck they try to pass ends up going past them, and then they try again, it goes on for about 10 miles until finally the one trying to pass gets enough momentum down a hill. Or when they stack up going down interstate and you can't get over in the lane you need to be in to turn off (using a turning signal), because the asshats won't give you space to get over.

Come here to California where it seems like there are no traffic laws. At least that is what every other driver thinks. Also why the FUCK does everyone drive an SUV. This is an urban evironment not the fucking mountains. It pisses me off to see these asshole with their lift-kitted monstrosities carrying only the driver. Its like ricing for SUVs. They are already huge so lets make them bigger so I can look like a badass.

I heard on one of the programs like Dateline or 60 minutes,people who buy a SUV buy it to intimidate everyone else on the road,its like buying a gun.

I find driving with my dad annoying. He does 40 in 30 zones, doesn't indicate properly and turns the bass on the radio down

When you drive WA16 from Bremerton to Tacoma twice a day, every day, you realize that indeed only 1/10 of 1% of the population has an IQ of 100 or above...

Btw, I am a major roadrage instigator, I do things just to piss certain people off on the road. If you tailgate me, I stomp the brakes. If I am stuck in traffic (read: dead stop or 1st gear in a 60 zone) I roll down the windows, regardless of weather, and crank up my stereo, which has more than enough thump to make sure every fucker within a 300 foot radius can hear and feel my music. Mind you, so far I know only 3 people who like the music I listen to. I speed like a mofo most of the time, I pass on the right. Though a personal favorite to pull is on clogged off-ramps, especially the one for the college I go to, if I have to make a left turn I simply go down the shoulder past everyone, most of them having their signals on for the same left turn I am going to make about 5 minutes before they will be able to. Granted I am *so* waiting for some fuckwad to open his door on me for that stunt. Then there is the wonders of playing lane-jumping to keep someone from passing you, or doing the same tactic to avoid traffic.

Btw, I do always signal and I have my overkill bright blue headlights on even in the day.

Oh and did I mention I hate the drivers here in Washington?

Yeah, our speed limits may seem kinda high for people who's minds have been numbed by years of driving in America. Once you leave the urban areas you can cruise comfortably at 80mph or more, which might seem terribly fast especially if you've grown up with that 55mph limit. True story, driving from Toronto to Princeton I can shave almost 2 hours off the trip time if I stay in Canada and cut into New York at the last possible moment as opposed to crossing near Kingston at the east end of Lake Ontario. Why people drive at 55mph on a deserted highway puzzles me to no end. In Canada we'd be doing at least 85 on those same roads. Oh yeah, people in Quebec are crazier & drive faster than the rest of us because they all think they're rally drivers or Jacques & Gilles Villeneuve clones.

Come to California, and while you're driving, pay attention to the constant appearance of skid marks on the road every quarter mile or so...

Funny I don't have these problems...maybe because I do 55-60 MPH
in 30~40 MPH zones

Meh...I drive an SUV, but of course, I do think it is a bit different, considering where I live, and the fact that the 4WD actually will be USED.

That makes me mad. Don't buy a damn 4WD if you have no intention of using it.

What I hate more than them is the damned farming impliments driving on a two-lane road and absolutely will not move over so people can pass!
