[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Drivers I hate (Page 1 of 2)

There are a great many people on the road whom I absolutely DESPISE. If I could mount weaponry on my vehicle ala Twisted Metal to take out these dumbasses/assholes, I would. Here are some of the drivers that I hate: 1) The guy who has to fly up and tailgate you, flash his lights, and zip around you seconds later while laying on the horn and flipping you off, all while you're doing the speed limit or slightly faster. 2) The dumbass who puts on his right turn signal, moves into the right lane, and then turns left, cutting across three lanes of traffic. 3) The asshole who is going twenty under the speed limit, so when you move to pass him he will either deliberately parallel you or immediately move into the next lane, pass YOU, and drop back to twenty under the speed limit as soon as he's in front of you again. 4) The old guy who has had his left turn signal flashing for the last ten miles without once turning or changing lanes. 5) The certifiable moron I saw driving down the freeway and PLAYING THE FUCKING TROMBONE. 6) Not one, but TWO freaks (in two seperate incidents) who were totally naked and masturbating furiously as they drove down the road. What. The. Fuck. 7) The idiot who drives ten or fifteen under the speed limit and repeatedly taps the brakes at random intervals. 8) The countless drooling retards who can't figure out how to accelerate and merge onto the freeway, instead coming to a complete stop on the on ramp when there isn't anybody coming and sitting there so that by the time it's your turn to merge, you have ten feet in which to accelerate and a semi-truck flying up on your ass at 65 mph. 9) Jackasses who don't know what the fuck a yield sign is for. 10) The mouth-breathing moron who moves over into your lane without signaling or even looking to see if maybe you're already occupying the space their vehicle is attempting to enter. And then they still don't look when you lay on the horn and swerve into on-coming traffic to avoid a collision. 11) You. Yes, you, the asshole who flies through parking lots at 40 mph and cutting across lanes of traffic and parking spaces instead of traveling at a sane speed limit, driving down the lanes, and actively avoiding running down pedestrations. Fuck you, you cock-sucker. 12) The idiots who back out of a space without once looking to see if pedestrians or another vehicle is behind them. 13) The psycho bitch who flew through the Wal-Mart parking lot at 30 mph and didn't once touch the brake pedal or change directions when we were directly in her path. And then she hits and destroys the bag of groceries in my dad's hand (for all she knew she clipped him), parks, and heads inside the store to go shopping. I hope she likes the redecorating we did to her fenders and hood. 14) Dumbasses who pull out in front of you and slam on their brakes for no reason. 15) Hippies who still drive VW microbuses that burn more oil than a Middle Eastern nation being invaded by the US. 16) The van full of Japanese tourists that stopped in the middle of the freeway to get out and take pictures. 17) Motorcyclists who think that they're immortal. Especially the Darwin Award candidate that t-boned my mom's SUV at 120+ mph AFTER BRAKING FOR FIFTY YARDS. Dumbass walked away with a broken collar bone and a wrecked bike, my mom got a broken arm, a face full of glass, and a totalled SUV that was less than a year old. 18) Dumb bitches who flip you off for no apparent reason. 19) Road-raging psychopaths who think that homocide is perfectly acceptable if the other person happens to be a teenager who has absolutely nothing to do with them. 20) Did you seriously just drive off with YOUR FUCKING BABY ON THE ROOF you dumb bitch?! 21) The jackass who, as soon as you put your blinker on to change lanes, moves up to prevent you from changing lanes so that you are forced to exit or take a different road. So, what kind of drivers do YOU hate, Arfcom? |

Put me down for the jackass who is in a lane that is ending in 500 yards and despite people obviously slowing down, flashing their lights and even physically waving him over just HAS to ride the lane all the way to the end. WTF is this shit? Some kind of OCD shit in their brain? |
I swear, I glanced over at the car in the next lane and he had sheet music spread across the steering wheel, was steering with his knees, and playing the trombone. I hope he frigging SWALLOWED the thing after running off the road into an embankment. Hopefully without taking out someone worth sharing oxygen with. |
Get out of the fast lane.

I hate all drivers. went to bi-mart the other day to stock up on primers. I was almost hit 3 times just driving into the parking lot by old people who back out of the parking spot without looking. a few months ago, some idiot DID back into me in the bi-mart parking lot. I was half way out of my parking spot, saw him and stopped and hit the horn. he backed into the side of my car. he got out and said "oh, guess you didn't see me" me: "are you fucking serious? YOU hit the side of MY car. I can't hit anything with the SIDE OF MY CAR. I had the horn blaring for a good 10 seconds, and you never once looked back." him: "oh." ETA: here's another my family was going camping. my dad is driving his 1975 dodge power wagon with an old camper, and a trailer with a boat, 4-wheeler, and some other crap. we are on some back road in the middle of nowhere, and some high shcool kid was stopped in the middle of the road in his 95ish sedan. then he slammed the car in reverse and backed into our pickup. his excuse "i was running over rattle snakes" it ended up doing about $2500 worth of damage to his car. didn't even scratch the chrome on the bumper of our pickup

Don't forget the guy who is furiously accelerating, then braking, changing lanes, accelerating, then braking again in 5:00 traffic where there is absolutely no where to go. Love that guy. He keeps changing lanes and I keep methodically passing him every couple of hundred yards. |

*) Chicks that apply make-up while driving. One hand holding the make-up, one hand applying it, leaned forward with face in the rear view mirror. Driving with an elbow, view ahead completely obstructed. **) The asshole that pulls out in front of you, causing you to brake/lose momentum/re-accelerate to a speed 5-10 mph less than you were going - meanwhile there's NOBODY behind you. If he'd waited 3-5 more seconds, he could've putted along all day without impeding you. ***) The double-asshole that cuts in front of you, hits the brakes, and executes a turn. Forcing you to brake to damn near a full stop, where again there was NOBODY behind you. The simple idea of starting to slow down for their turn and coming across the lane behind you just never seams to cross their minds. This pisses me off like nothing else. ****) Tailgaters in heavy traffic. Hello? Can't you see the 300 cars TO MY DIRECT FRONT? |

1. I hate the ones that are oblivious to the world around them. they fuck up traffic 2. lookie-loos... jacking up traffic for any kind of abnormality anywere remotely related to the road (most common = accidents or people getting ticketed) 3. people who can't /won't merge properly (see #4) 4. people who aren't driving their cars . (think about this one, people who are not activly driving their cars, they're merely putting minimal input into the funtion of their vehicle to get it from point A to B.) 5. people who slow down traffic because they fail to account for a SLIGHT (and I do mean SLIGHT) uphill grade (see #4) 6. people who freak out because there is a drop of water from the sky on their car 7. people who disrespect a safety gap ("...Oh, my car will fit in that space" (zoooom) then eveyone in that lane has to adjust (and so does the idiot who pulled in there!) 8. people who think that just because they turned on their turn signal, it grants them instant access to their desired lane. 9. people on cell phones (hello!?!!? your first responsibility is to driving the car!!!!) see #4 10. people playing their radio's with nothing but the bass on +11 11. people who have the sheeple mentality (blocking intersections because they're basicly driving on the ass of the car in front of them) I'll stop there. |

Slow accelerators. In town most of the streets here are 35 mph. You should be there about a half a block past the intersection at most. If you ain't doing 35 three blocks later you, not anyone else, fucked up. If you have the right of way at a four way stop, USE IT! Don't flap your arm tryingto get the other guys to move. You aren't a traffic cop. Don't direct traffic. (Four way stops = first come, first served. If two people arrive at the same time, the person TO THE RIGHT has the right of way. That means if you're looking at them through the driver's side window, you have to go first.) Slower traffic/left lane driving slow in fast traffic-looking for turn. "convoys" all driving slowly looking for the same turn. Got stuck behind one looking for a golf course today. Too many to pass safely. People who insist on using high beams even when they can clearly tell there's oncoming traffic. |

In a couple weeks the students will be returning to Michigan State University. It would be better if they didn't bring their parents. College kids' driving doesn't bother me nearly as bad as their parents. Offenses such as: Stopping in traffic at EVERY street to see if it's their time to turn. (Mapquest, motherfucker!) Parking on Grand River in front of the Student Book Store in spite of the "No Stopping, Standing, or Parking" signs. Parking three feet from the curb in narrow streets while Junior unloads his furniture. |
Well, your driving just pushed us over the limit. You gotta go... Sorry... |
That reminds me. People who don't enter the highway at the speed of traffic piss me off, too. If you weren't supposed to push your gas pedal that hard it wouldn't go so far down! |
| My favorite: People who pull up to a T intersection and don't look at the oncoming traffic FIRST! I don't care if you are going left or right, LOOK LEFT FIRST. It makes the oncoming people think you're actually paying attention by acknowledging their existence so you don't gas it in front of them. |
Yeah. The people in front who press on the brake just b/c they are going downhill, even though there is nothing infront of them. This in turn causes you to apply the brake to not hit them. Then when they get to the bottom, step on the gas in order to have enough power to go up the slope. Don't these people understand physics and momentum? Apparently they like to wear out the brakes and use gas unnecessarily. |
Suburban white kids with five of their friends, throwing gang signs and bouncing like they just did an 8-ball, while listening to 50 cent or some other no talent ass clowns, and trying to control daddy's three ton Yukon. Pay attention to the road, you're not the only ones on it, assholes! 
|
It's funny when it happens an a basically empty multi-lane highway, and you are in the middle or right lane....................... The ones that can't keep a steady speed. That make "emergency" lane changes for no apparent reason. The ones that seem to be experimenting on how long it can take them to get up to the speed limit while continuously accelerating. |
|
The dopes that don't understand the concept of the "yield" sign. The time to look around is not after you have stopped at that intersection, it's as you are approaching the intersection, So that by the time you get to the intersection you have already determined if it is permissible to proceed, or you must stop. |
+about an effin million. Interstate near me....they widened to three lanes each direction to allow drivers to exit and enter the heavy traffic (The on ramp turns into the off ramp a mile down the road). I'm on the on ramp and the dickheads cut me off so they can exit an effin mile down the road. WTF????? When I was a new driver you'd bust on your friends doing something dumb by asking 'Get you license out of a Cracker Jack box?' (for the younger guys, it was a box of popcorn similar to carmel corn and there was a 'gift' in each box). Now I think they clip it out of the newspaper. |
Gum ball machine. |

people who drive the speed lmt in the fastlane. Wtf? it's the fast lane. so cal speed is 75-85 in the fastlane if the freeway is moving. yes I understand that the speed limit is 65. If you can't swim in the deep-end, get over we flash to make you aware that your to move to the right...or expect to be passed on the right. people who speed up when you try to pass'em people who read while driving!!!!!! <can left foot break, If your in a car with me...I'm smoother driving with breaking left footed (raced 100mph karts for 5 years, and 60mph karts for 3years prior) ladies putting on make-up,contacts, or feeding kids in the back seat. Highway patrol officers, I've seen some DUMB moves from them. weaving in and out trying to hide in peoples blind spot to get them for speeding. sitting on the side of the road behind a blind rise or corner to pounce on a speeder. Let's see a crown-vic EMPTY can do 0-60 in let's be nice hmm 8 seconds? now add 600 pounds of gear, 225 pounds of driver AND 80,000 miles of service oh and wait, the speeder is speeding @ 85 mph how long will it to take the crown vic up to speed ? and can he know if someone else will be comming before he can get up to speed? last guys that I hate, the kind that has to get in front of you... and then drive 5 miles an hour slower ! |

Left lane hogs. Under no circumstance should anyone be in the passing lane if they aren't actively passing. ...and for the record; yes, I'm one of those people that flashes my brights if you're driving slow in the passing lane. I usually wait a little while before doing this in order to give people a chance to move over. If they're in their own little world and don't notice there's someone behind them, they get the brights. Everywhere else in the world, brights are considered the polite way of asking someone to move over. When i flash them, people usually move over that the next opportunity they get. Only once have I had someone get road rage - a middle age soccermom with her teenage daughter tried brake-checking me several times because I flashed my brights after I had been stuck behind her while going 10 miles under the limit in the passing lane. |
I was trying to signal to you that a monkey was tied up to your rear bumper, being bounced along down the road and all its fur had been rubbed off. Sorry.
Again, sorry.

Is this an admission of vandalism on ARFCOM?...

80% of my aggrivation on the freeway would be reduced if people would get the concept of slower traffic on the right. If you want to go exactly the speed limit, fine, but dont sit in the left lane and not get over when people come up on you. The far left lane is for passing not driving slower than the flow of traffic and dont think you're doing anything wrong becuase, "I'm going the speed limit." Ive seen people cut across 3 lanes of traffic to get into the passing lane just after merging onto the freeway only to drive exactly the speed limit when there was light traffic and they could go the same speed in the R lane.  People who want to merge onto the freeway going 35-40mph while the flow of traffic is doing 60+. People who stop at yield sighs when there is no traffic coming at all. Looky Lou's who cause freeway traffic to get backed up for miles because they want to gawk at a fender bender. People who jump infront of others at a busy gas station. |
No bull Bro!!! I'm wit you!

Another I have to add are the people that pull out in front of you with no regards to you or how fast you're going. Whenever I go into the city and back, I spend a good 30 miles on farm-to-market roads. The yuppies that have been moving out here like to pull out in front of me - it wouldn't be a big deal if the speed limit didn't range from 55-65. These are highway speeds we're talking about and people will just cut right in front of you. Not only is it inconsiderate, it's extremely unsafe. not only are they endangering themselves, they're endangering my life as well. Words cannot describe the anger I feel when someone does this... and it happens several times a day. I should set a camera on my dashboard and post the video on youtube so you guys can see the shit I deal with on a daily basis.  The last time I got my blood pressure checked, I had been in some pretty bad traffic on my way to the clinic. I came in at 211 over 173

I've had people tailgate me while I was doing 100mph on I-75 flashing their high beams to move over, I was pretty shocked and did so. I guess some people take the passing lane more extremely than others... BTW: YES, I was passing cars on the right lane. They were all doing 55 on a 75 highway. |

About a month ago I'm traveling southbound on I35 south of Minneapolis. I'm in the country, this section of I35 has two lanes in each direction, separated by a grassy median with a depth of 2-3 feet. Speed limit is 70 MPH. I'm in the fast lane going about 72, no one ahead of me or behind me for miles. The right lane has a couple of semis, and 7-8 cars in a bunch, going 65-70 MPH. Car from right lane pulls out to pass, he's about 10 car lengths ahead of me, but going slightly slower than I am, so I tap the brakes to release cruise control. This &%$#%$#&%$#&# then hits his brakes and comes to a complete stop in front of me so he can make a U-turn on one of the connecting driveways for emergency vehicles. His left brakelight was out, so when he hit his brakes, it first appeared he was signaling a right turn. I'm lucky I avoided hitting him and lucky no one was behind me. |

1.) Teenage kids in Civics that think every stoplight is a drag strip 2.) Guys in raised pickup trucks that drive them like a Ferrari on a race track. You drive a pickup truck! It's slow! Get over it and haul lumber you idiot! 3.) People who do not use their turn signals. I NEVER let these people over. No turn signal, no turn. I hate these people. 4.) People who hog the fast lane when the lane to the right is totally open. I am dead serious when I say I would love to legally be able to set these people on fire. 5.) People who drive while talking on cell phones. Pull over, then talk. Idiot. 6.) Tailgaters who, after getting frustrated and passing you, get back in front of you and then slow down. 7.) Two words: Rap music. 8.) The illegal alien in the rusted out pickup truck who paces me in the next lane over. Your turn signal is missing and you make me nervous. Stop it. 9.) People who weave in and out of dense traffic crossing multiple lanes in a split second without using turn signals. 10.) People who key other cars. I don't care what the person did or what kind of vehicle they drive. The car is off limits. No exceptions. |
This one right here. Pisses me off to no end. I feel like giving them a boost....Warp Speed!
|
Crown Vic ≠ Police Interceptor |
|
Oncoming cars who veer into my lane and almost hit me to avoid obstacles in their lane. Idiots who stop for green lights or sit at them when it turns green causing everyone behind them to wait another cycle. People who don't understand the concept of two lanes turning the same direction simultaneously at an intersection. |
|
I was taught by the truck school at North American Van Lines that if you just start coming over they'll move just fine. It has never failed me. Of course, in my state there is the "failure to avoid an accident" citation. When I articulate to the cop that the road was empty except for him, and I really honestly believed he'd move", then unless the guy can say he could not change lanes he will get cited. Cops know when someone's playing chickehshit games. |
1) I don't drive in the fast lane. I always stick to the middle lane (or right hand lane if it's two) because some impatient dumbass always thinks he's Mario Andretti. 2) And you idiots wonder why you get tickets all the time. And here I am, getting places on time, and with not a single speeding ticket to my name. Learn to drive responsibly instead of 'omg leadfoot lolz'. |
|
You guys think drivers in the USA are bad should try and drive in foreign countries, I have lived in Italy now for almost a year and have to say these are the worst drivers I have ever seen. 1. They do NOT stop at stop signs! 2. They do NOT yield at yield signs! 3. They pull out in front of you regardless how fast you are going. 4. They pass in no pass zones 5. They do not use turn signals 6, The damned motorcycles are the worst! They go inbetween and around you while you are stopped at say a stop sign. No wonder my insurance went up 4 times what is was in the states! |
+1 And that goes for the fucking semis too. I hate when one semi going 55.587 decides he want to pass another semi going 55.056.  It takes 5 fucking minutes to go around, can you STEP ON IT JUST A BIT. There are others on the road to that can and want to go faster. Move the fuck out of the way!!!!! 
|

Pretty much any driver who isn't me. I also don't like when other people drive me places. Rice boys with fart cannons. The jackass who drives in the passing lane on an empty highway. Chicks who put on makeup while driving. Except for the hot ones who are putting on lip gloss. That is so sexy!  People who drive BMW's  The drivers who hit the detonate button near dismounted US troops. There's no worse feeling than seeing your guys on the ground with no way to help them. I've never felt so worthless in my life.
