For what it's worth, I'm a terrific driver. One of the best. Just sayin.

Well somebody is full of moans today!

Truth.
Also, can people not parallel park? I get all chatted up by old guys every time I parallel park downtown because they find it impressive.
And if you are driving and there are 10 cars behind you because you're going 45 in a 55, pull over. Seriously. Instead of making all the crazy drivers swerve all over the place and nearly kill us all.0 -
To all Jersey "pack drivers" - Smart - They can't pull you ALL over, LOL!:happy:
(I also have a theory that cars in New Jersy have turn signals disabled as part of NJ state inspection...never seen one used by a Jersey person)0 -
Oh one thing I cannot stand is when there are two or more lanes to turn onto and I'm the only one (or I'm the closest to the car turning) in one of the lanes and a car turns right in front of me... as if there wasn't another lane for them to turn to... and then they either go super slow or they get into the other lane... I'm always tempted to run someone over at that point, but I don't want to dirty my car.0

Thank you!!! As someone who drives for a living, i totally agree!!!**If you can't understand "keep LEFT unless actually in the act of passing somebody" Please turn-in your driver's license today. Just stop. Stop driving. Get a bike. Do whatever it takes. PACING the car to your right should be an instant revocation of a driver's license pending re-training in Germany, at your cost.
Move. The. Hell. Over.
**Okay...you're going 40mph in a 55 zone. When I pass you, why are you trying to punish me by flicking on your car's hi-beams?
Let me remind you of a famous quote: "OH MAY GAWD! The guy I just passed flicked on his Hi-beams headlamps! I'm going to slow down, and get back behind him again." - No person, ever.
**If you are in the lane beside me, and both our lanes turn RIGHT...YOU NEED TO KEEP YOUR **** in the immediate RIGHT lane of the road we're turning on to. Stop driftin' your POS into MY lane.
That is all. Carry on.
I drive a company vehicle, and it' a large steel vehicle. I spend much of my time on the Chicago area highways. I have very little patience for those who can't drive, and if i have to pass a left lane slow poke on the right, i make sure to do it in such a way that they get startled and drop their cell phone or make up. I also have no problem tailgating those types, because i know if they brake-check me, i will just hit them. It's a company vehicle, what do i care? Plus, my vehicle is bigger than yours, and it's solid steel. If i get in an accident, and have to spend extra time talking to police, that's just overtime pay for me.0 -
I freely admit to being a crappy driver and that's why I take the train. I have a DL, but only use it when I am needed as a designated driver. My car, in ONE YEAR, had a whopping 500 miles put on it, so I let my dad have it.0

Someone who simply flicks their brights when you pass is actually trying to be polite. It means, you're clear, go ahead and return to the right lane. It is especially helpful for semi drivers who pass a passenger car.0

I'd like to add: The accelorator pedal is the one one the right. Don't be afraid to use it, especially when you are directly in front of me on the on ramp to the interstate. The idea of the interstate system is to merge at speed, not at 35 in a 65. Push it down. Enjoy!0 -

I'm from the backwoods of New Jersey where you can really go whatever speed you want because the odds of you seeing another car are quite low. But watch out for those deer.
Now when I'm down at school, it's crazy. I go to school in Tampa, FL and I commute. I-275 in the morning is insane. Add in a 7 mile long bridge and 90 degree turns by the I-4 merge and you have yourselves a pissed off Ellen.0 -
I think we can all relate. People suck and most lack the ability to drive. I drive fast and will continue to do so. If you see someone coming up on you and can move over please do so.0

Right!!! And speaking of merging, if you are already on the highway and someone is trying to merge onto the highway, then move over if you can... don't be a douche and hog the lane.0 -
And I thought I was cranky today.0

I believe that every country should have the same driver training as Finland does. They have a mandatory 8-month driver training program where you're basically in school for 8 hours/day for all 8 months, learning how to handle every single freaking situation that you can possibly come across.
They even learn how to control a car while spinning out of control on a huge patch of ice. How many of you can do that? It's mandatory to do that in order to get your licence there.0 -

You must live in metro Detroit. I do and that crap happens to me all the time, esp. with the right turns. I do not understand it.
Edit: Wow, I just noticed your username. You really do! Ha! I knew it. Do you experience the daily terror I do of being side-swiped?? Also, I travel up M-59 twice a day and it never fails, some slow a** is hogging the far left lane so no one can get by. :explode:0 -

That's when you just wave like a friendly person to them. When they flash them repeatedly and start shaking their fists at me I tell them they are number one 0 -

I dunno about the US but in the UK I think generally flashing is a polite thing (as above) or warning of a speed trap or other danger.
Horns are only really used to express anger.0 -
Great being perfect0

Also if you drive a mini van...down here those people are the worst drivers.
mini vans and subaru's, can't stand either one of them.0 -
Or maybe it's just projection, and *HE* is the crappy driver, unaware of the rules of the road.
Nope. We live in the same area. People are unbelievably stupid and ignorant around metro Detroit. I know exactly what he's talking about.0 -
What? Did you not read the page that said these driving rules do not apply to me? I guess in an effort to save money they just assumed that everyone knows *I* am the most important driver on the road 0
-
LOL, LOL, LOL- I've put thousands of miles on 75, 94, 96, etc. What the he!! I passed up some jerk once on 275 while he was coasting in the left lane. He got back in front of me and slammed on his brakes.
Why aren't these road rules taught in driver's ed?? :explode:0 -

I think this is awesome! I wish they did have that here...or at least train you that no matter how amazing you think you are, you really can't text and drive at the same time...or eat...or read...or put on make-up....0 -
