Stupid drivers and there's plenty of them.0
-
-old people. sorry.
-people who dont understand that its ok to make a right turn on a red light
-people who pull out 100ft infront of me when im going 50mph and theres no one behind me...seriously, they cant wait ONE FREAKING SECOND till i pass and not risk both our safety?! GAWD!!0 -
Not sure there's enough space on here to record all mine so I'll just list a few in no particular order of preference
1)People who think that going five miles above the speed limit is WAY too slow for them and act like you are holding them back from going 100 (yeah, okay, I am exaggerating but still)
2. People who don't go the speed limit
3. People who don't go the speed limit but suddenly speed up once you try to move around them so you can't (but then again, I would be contradicting myself since, I too, hate to be on the recieving end........still doesnt mean I dislike it, it means that I am more mindful of this one so I don't do it to others and usually I don't unless they are being *kitten*)
4. People who won't let you into their lane and make you get behind them
5. People who tend to sit in their cars in parking lots until you move along to find a different spot before they leave..........one day this lady, in my gym parking lot, did this.........she tried to get me to move along and yet she was going on her way out of the parking lot heading for home. She waved at me to go on ahead and I waved at her to come out.......took at least 5 minutes to get this woman to move
6.people who park RIGHT behind you in a NON parking spot, therefore pinning you in because you can't move to either side due to a car next to you and the curb on the other side.
7. People who don't check their lights are working when driving in the dark causing you to almost run into them
8. People who don't use their signal light when turning off the road, changing lanes or turning off roundabouts
9. People who use their mobile phones when driving (IT'S DANGEROUS YOU ASSHATS)
10. People who play their stereos so loud they must burst their eardrums
11. Wagon drivers who block all the lanes to other traffic because they are trying to overtake each other at 30mph
12. Tailgaters
and that's just a tiny portion of my list0 -
I hate it when you let somebody out and they don't even say thank you. How rude!0
-
Arseholes who don't indicate.....
Arseholes who brake before they indicate.....
Arseholes who talk on the phone while driving....today I past a young mum who had her 2 kids in the back seat and she was talking on the phone and SHE was wondering why I kept looking at her......
Arseholes that instead of pulling over and get of the road to look at something, just slow to a snails pace......0 -
People who text while driving and camping out in the passing lane.0
-
-old people. sorry.
-people who dont understand that its ok to make a right turn on a red light
-people who pull out 100ft infront of me when im going 50mph and theres no one behind me...seriously, they cant wait ONE FREAKING SECOND till i pass and not risk both our safety?! GAWD!!
For that last one there are alot of old people here that will at times when there are barely any cars wait a minute or more when no one was in front of you or behind you to pull out just in front of you. They could ahve gone sooner, or waited a second but no they have to do that. Then they drive 10 mph under the speed limit.
As for the one about sitting in your car. Here is the thing, sometimes I just plan to sit in my car for a minute. I often get in my car and then check my phone and text or call someone before I start driving (most parking lots are really windy so I don't want to try and hear over that and I'm not going to drive while I'm talking) I hate people waiting for my spot and not taking the others further back (parking lots around here are much larger then they need to be for the people typically in them, unless its like a week before Christmas so its not that they can't find a spot they are just wanting a close one) So sometimes I will take longer due to this, and I definitely won't take less time.0 -
Oh I forgot. People that don't use their headlights in heavy rain. I know its not technically illegal not to in my stupid state (although it is in the state 10 min from me) but still its kind of dumb since it gets really foggy when it rains and NO ONE CAN SEE YOU.
Also old people who have so bad eyes and or are too short (in their large car) to see where they are going. This includes my own mother that admitted to me that she couldn't see over the steering wheel in her car and looks though the hole under the steering wheel to see.
Oh and people that drive huge cars and can't park straight. I don't always park perfectly straight but my car is tiny so I'm still between the lines. If your car is huge you don't get this luxury.0 -
Only $100? ARR 67.total expiation fee $421 down this neck of the woods. My pet peeve, drivers with their seats laid so far back they cant possably see over the dashboard whilst they have one arm hanging out the windowPeople who completely drive through stop signs Ch89 Sec9 $100.00 ;-)0 -
I have most of these pet peeves, but one that I haven't seen yet (forgive me if it has been said). Is when people dont dim there brights when approaching at night! The temptation is to blind them back, but what good is two blind drivers passing eachother at high speed...I will however flash my lights to warn them, but by that time it's too late anyway.:explode:
And to the person who said they live in Aus and hog the left lane, you ARE WRONG!!!!!!! I live in Aus too, and the left lane is meant for PASSING!!! Not cruising!:explode:
And the person who slows down and then speeds up when the person behind her tries to pass :noway: You need to go back to driving lessons and learn how to behave on the roads!!!
And the person who thinks it's funny to sit in the car in a car park so that the person who is waiting for your parking moves on before you leave, Nasty piece of work!

Aggressive driving. I usually wave or stick my tongue out - drives them even more crazy. Lol0

i dunno where in australia you live but where I am there are signs EVERYWHERE that if you are not in the left hand lane unless overtaking you can get fined and have seen quite a few get fined...
And the person who slows down and then speeds up when the person behind her tries to pass :noway: You need to go back to driving lessons and learn how to behave on the roads!!!
when you are going above the speed limit and someone is tailgating the **** outta me, yeah i am gonna go down to the speed limit. maybe THEY should learn to behave and stay the whole 3 seconds behind my car?

Sorry, I meant right lane.:blushing: Got caught up in the passing lane. LOL. If you're in the cruising lane then you have every right to drive at a comfortable speed. It's a very different story in the passing lane (which is our right lane), I get out the way when I see a car approaching, that is driving faster than me.
If someone is tailgating you, stay at the speed limit, but dont speed up when they try to pass!!! I never tailgate, but if the person who was tailgating me finally decides to pass, I'm not going to make it difficult and potentially cause an accident. I'd rather be rid of them anyway!0 -
the thing I despise most is people who dont indicate! grrr they make me go green!!0
-
People who take FOREVER to set off at traffic lights when they go green. It takes like a second to lift your foot off your brake & onto your accelerator!
People who drive in the middle/end lane on the motorway despite there being no reason to.
People who come to a stop at roundabouts when they don't need to.
People who drive 20 miles under the speed limit.
The list goes on!0 -
Braking before turning on the turn signal. The turn signal is suppose to be a warning to those behind you that you are going to brake!!!! Also turning the turn signal on half way thru the turn...kinda already figured it out!! Really I just can't stand other drivers or people in general, I believe this stems from working with the public my entire life.
No, the turn signal indicates your intent to turn. Brake lights are a warning that you are braking. If you are too close to the other driver to respond in time then your driving is at fault not theirs. What would you do if they pressed the brake on a straight road?0 -
1) People who pull out in front of me when there is no one in back of me, causing me to have to slow down. Which is just awesome because they were in 'such a hurry' that they go 5 miles below the speed limit...
2) People who smoke in the car with kids
3) Not signaling until they are right on top of the turn, especially since I was being considerate and not pulling a #1
4) Not getting out of the passing lane when you are done passing. My DH does this and it drives me nuts.
5) Speeding around parking lots
6) People who tailgate when I am already over the speed limit or when the roads are bad0 -
Tailgaters and litterbugs. Get right!0
-
ridiculously old people who shouldn't be operating a motor vehicle0
-
1. people who turn left on red. wtf.
2. people who creep into the intersection thinking it's going to make the light change. most of the lights here are on timers and can't be triggered by cars. back the eff up, people.
3. people who speed in school zones!
4. people who pull out in front of me and then proceed to go 15 mph in a 40. omg, gtfo my way!0 -
1. people who make wide turns (they're turning right but they drive towards the left to make that turn)
2. people who can't stay in their lane
3. people who drive slow in the fast lane
4. people who can't park to save their lives (I'm no expert and I do park crooked but I'm crooked IN BETWEEN THE LINES and only slightly lol)
5. people who know they're in the wrong lane and want to wait until they have no more space to cross into the right lane (aka your lane)
6. tailgaters (and I'm not a slow driver so there's no reason to be so close)
7. people who don't use turn signals or use them when it doesn't even matter anymore because they're already turning.
8. People who don't give me the "thank you" wave or flash their lights when I do something nice for them.
Edit: old people should have their own lane so they can get out of my way.0 -
You know what I LOVE doing?
When people tailgate me I start to go JUST the speed limit (i usually always am over shush) and then when they go into the other lane to go past me i speed up so they can't :laugh: it is actually the funniest thing ever.
That sounds like a request for violence.
Other pet peeves include:
Hogging the left lane.
Speeding up and slowing down erratically.
What the poster described above, preventing someone from passing, is illegal and is an act of aggressive driving.
Another item that is aggressive driving is "brake checking" someone. If you're driving aggressively like that, you're asking to start trouble. It's too bad that traffic cops don't seem to care about the drivers that do things like those that are actually dangerous.
But tailgating isn't?0 -
People who can't drive in snow... while living somewhere that is snows.
For those that live somewhere that it only snows once in a while this doesn't apply to you. However this year we have had 5 decent snow storms that made the roads at least somewhat bad (enough for a weather warning) and this was the most mild year most people (including my 60 something year old parents that always lived her) can ever remember in this area.
so if you live her you either need to not go anywhere in winter or learn to drive in snow. No you can't even go anywhere if its not snowing because it can start heavily snowing and get bad in about 15 min... so if your shopping your not going to have to have time to notice and get home.
There are no excuses for driving 5 mph when its barely snowing just cause there is a bit of white on the road. There are no excuses for driving 5 mph up a hill (don't you know this is going to make it more likely for you to slide? oh and that person behind you that your going to force to break is going to have it even harder!!)
There are no excuses for braking around a slippery turn. How you should you know its slippery? Because snow leaves tracks, if there are fish tailing tracks ITS SLIPPERY. Now your just sliding too.
There are no excuses for leaving your car at the side of the road when there is not even an inch of snow (note I didn't say ice, just snow) on the ground. If you don't have snow tires that is your own fault, remember you live SOMEWHERE THAT IT SNOWS!
To the above poster that said "people who smoke in a car with kids" I don't consider this a driving pet peeve because its really (at least for me) "People who smoke around kids" doesn't matter if your in a car or not.0 -
Mine include the following:
1. People who think that my wanting to go 10 miles an hour over the speed limit is their decision to make.
2. Those people in #1 that will not move over to the right hand lane when I am right on their a**. In many states there are signs that say STATE LAW...SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT...so why am I the a** for violating the law when it comes to speeding but you are not an a** when you violate the law that says slower traffic keep right. Here in Mississippi you can be cited for impeding the flow of traffic if you do not move to the right lane even if I am speeding.
3. People who find it necessary to slam on their brakes doing 75 mph on the interstate becasue they think it will make you not want to get around them...again I refer to the law in #2 that you would be violating. This I feel is much more dangerous than speeding 10 mph over the speed limit.
4. People who don't go the speed limit.
5. People who don't go the speed limit but suddenly speed up once you try to move around them so you can't...and you really annoy me when you do #3 in conjunction with this one.
A side note to for those that live in Mississippi that think pissing people off while driving....state law allows people to carry concealed weapons as well as allows open containers as long as the driver is not drunk. So why in the hell would you be willing to play Russian roulette with someone who might be drunk and carrying a gun?
Off my soapbox...0 -
Sorry but deffently put everything has to be elderly prople.... I have soo many times had near misses because them! Heres quick 3 things just matter of one year...
-swerving around between lanes nearly side swiping me(had to go into on coming traffic to avoid an accident)
-old women driving 45 in a 60 n on middle of 2 lanes??? Driving like shes was totally drunk.... Swerving too...
-going across a bridge which is curved and the person crosses lanes going directly for me... She realize last second n pulled back into her lane after every car started honking at her... Would of sucked.. 60+kmh head on collision...
Out of all honesty there should be a age limit where ur license get revovked....0 -
I swear if you can drive in a grocery store parking lot you can drive anywhere. Especially in Pittsburgh before a snow storm. I have lived here all my life and still get amazed that people act like they are going to have to resort to cannabalism if they don't buy out Giant Eagle prior to snow coming.0
-
Oh forgot to add... Old women doped on meds drove into a on coming lane killing a women and 2 kids, husband survived(they were on their way to church....). N ofocres.. The old women survived...0
-
People who drive 20 mph in the merging lane into traffic doing 70. The merging lane is long so that you can get up to traffic speed as$holes!!!
Agree--0 -
i don't know where this fits in driving in the city going the speed limit and the dork behind me pass just to cut me off and then they turn 5 to 10 min later these people are dumb risking other people safty when they should of left earlier rather then later0
-
People on cell phones
People that don't drive the speed limit
People that don't use turn signals
People that get right up on my car when I am going over speed bumps in the complex or at a store... I get so mad because its like if you want to fly over the speed bumps go ahead I love my car and I am NOT going to harm it because you have to be a speed demon in a parking lot or in a complex. Its like really..
I know i read a post where someone said - people that don't turn right on the red light.. Well here they have these camera lights and the city will ticket you 158$ for turning on that red light no matter what and when you try to fight it, they say it doesn't matter the camera caught it even if you stop then turn they still ticket they have so many problems with the lights. so please forgive me but I got that ticket and I don't turn anymore and sometimes when the light is green some people wait a minute before they go because sometimes there is that jerk that runs the red light.. just saying0
