What makes YOU mad as hell when driving?

[trevorjm]

Whenever I drive through Boston or Cambridge here especially people are hyper militant about their bicycles and ride in the middle of the lane as much as possible. They also never signal turns of course so they will not hesitate to just ride infront of your car. I live next to Tufts University and people walk regardless if the light is red, yellow, green, or purple.
I hate being cut off so someone can merge. I-93 has been under construction all summer. At night, they close down two lanes. It's been like this for four months but people still ignore the fact you'll have to change lanes, they even warn you miles ahead. Tail-gaiting is rude, I admit I've done it when the car ahead of me is travelling under the speed limit though.

City driving is the worst thing.

I get rather pissed when I'm cruising at 55 (yes, I actually do, :lol: ), and some schmuck is in such a hurry to pull off a side street in front of me, and then proceeds to travel at 45mph . High beams on a divided highway :evil: . Cutting me off to get into the turning lane that's on the other side of me, and not using turn sgnals to boot. People that can't back up, this is very annoying, usually it's the people who drive these big *ss suvs with limo black windows, CAN'T SEE A DAMN THING, and they either take 5 minutes to back out of a parking spot, blocking the whole passway, or almost back into me as I'm waiting for another schmuck in a mini with the same issues.

I had a guy stop on an onramp to a highway once nearly no traffic on the highway and he wasnt even up waiting to merge, just chillen there talking out his window to someone who actually pulled over on the shoulder to stop. coming around the turn at 65 and theres a car at a dead stop in the way, I nailed the brakes and honked a lot so he would get moving. Once we actually got on the highway i go around him and hes yelling and making wild gestures at me like I'm the bad driver. If I hadn't been paying attention I would have rear ended him at 65+.

Are turn signals an option on cars now adays??

And how about 4-way stop intersections? You go in counter-clockwise order and everyone is happy. But NOOOOO, I need to go NOW! and I don't care if I screw up the order or cause an accident, my time is WAY too important to wait my turn. Or better, I'll tailgate the guy ahead of me and ride his coat tails through the intersection so I won't have to wait. And let's not forget the morons who just HAVE to get right into the fast lane, and then slow down to 40 mph.

what?? 4 way stops are first person to be there at a complete stop then has the right of way

Yes, but if two cars approach and stop at the intersection at the same time (adjacent), the car to the immediate right goes first.

Out here in Wichita Falls, Folks like to make Right Turns from the left lane and/or If two lanes turn in the same direction the inner lane driver figures that the outter lane is theirs also...and what really pisses me off is when you're on a road with no cars behind you and none in front, that car at a side street waits just before you get there to turn in front of you

Oh one more thing, on my short commute to and from work, it seems every now and again all three radio stations I listen to, will play commercials for my whole ride, that sucks :evil: . Makes me even more edgy when it comes to dumb people :lol: .

Tailgaters piss me off big time and it always seems to be a female driver. I had one lady try to push me in the road last night, speed limit is 60km/h and I usually travel around 70 km/h, she got so close to me that I couldn't see the headlights on her car. Thats to close for comfort, if I was driving something other then my Regal she would have gotten a good view of my brakelights .
Oriental people give me road rage big time, they don't know how to drive at all, no respect for the laws of the road or the people on it. They don't look when pulling out of parking lots, sideroads, etc. And then there is the dumbass MF'ers that think they are the fastest thing on wheels and want to prove it and they are usually in am import of some kind.

You can not pull out in front of a 30,000/15 ton truck when he is hauling *ss (speed limit 55). I will crush you! Uh-oh hear comes a truck, better cut em' off cause being in a hurry is more important than my families saftey and those around me. One day, (as long as no one gets hurt!) I would love to ram my work truck up some stupid soccer moms *ss!
