My biggest driving pet peeve: Assholes who don't use the turning lane to make an ACTUAL TURN!

This pet peeve is followed closely by dumbasses who leave about 10 feet of space between their car and the car in front of them...and still manage to hit the breaks for no damn reason. :flipoff

Philly drivers are the second worst drivers in the US, after Jersey drivers.

So what annoying habits drive you mad when driving? :eyebrows

When someone pulls out in front of you when there are other open lanes.
When someone decides to turn on their blinker at the last moment possible, or not at all.

People who squeeze in front of you when there's only a few feet between you and the car that was in front of you in the first place. Some dumb bitch did that to me this morning. She almost side swiped me. I hate Dallas traffic.

People who don't pull out into the intersection while they're waiting for oncoming traffic to pass so they can make a left turn.

People who swing wide right to make a left turn (and vice versa) as if they're driving an 18-wheeler.

My biggest driving pet peeve: Assholes who don't use the turning lane to make an ACTUAL TURN!

And, it's against the law to use that lane for anything BUT turning left out of the main lanes of traffic. I know several people who have gotten tickets n Universal City for using it to get out of parking lots and into traffic going in the opposite direction.

My pet peeves:

1. People who approach an intersection with no turn signal and then turn (and you could have gone if you'd known they were turning, but now are stuck)
2. Tailgaters on the freeway (get off my butt!)
3. People who WON'T GO on the freeway and clog up the whole road and slow traffic to a crawl (witness the interchange at IH-35 and Loop 1604 in front of the Forum...WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY SLOWING DOWN FOR? GO FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!)
4. People who leave their turn signals on when they are NOT turning
5. People on FM78 going 50 mph and will not pull over to the side and let the people doing the speed limit (65 mph) pass; the road is wide enough for that, but is not marked "Slower traffic keep right" because it's not a true 4-lane road.
6. People who pull out in front of you (when there is not another car in sight behind you when you are doing the speed limit and just sit there...if you are gonna pull out in front of me...GO! If you aren't going to GO, wait until I pass before you pull out. It's not rocket surgery.

Ohhh you're right, that's another pet peeve of mine. You find that a lot as you drive into the City here, dumbasses who park in the turning lanes or park their with their "emergency lights" blinking as if that makes it better. Grrr.

I hate it when you're behind someone slow, and when you finally get the chance to pass they start to speed up when you're next to them, so you either have to floor it to get in front of them or pull back in behind them.

My number one pet peeve? People who do stupid shit because other people violate their "driving pet peeves".

Examples:

Someone is tailgating you so when they try to pass you you speed up. Yeah, way to make an unsafe situation better. Yeah, I'm talking to you 1P1!

Someone cuts you off so you cut them off. Fucking retarded.

That kind of shit really pisses me off. Why can't people just drive? I hate when people will speed up to get in front of you to exit when there is no one behind you for miles. You don't get somewhere any faster and you make an unsafe situation. I hate people that change lanes into the space infront of me for no reason.

Also, it worries me that people don't understand that yeild signs sometimes mean that you have to stop. Yeild does not equal merge. Those are 2 different things. Yeild signs sometimes need to be treated like stop signs.

We were on a major road going 10 MPH and everyone was flipping out with their horns...

Then, we got stopped by a red light, and we were the first car in line, and when it turned green we didn't move for about a minute. Then once we did we took off.

I hate tailgaters, and believe me I do NOT drive slow. There is no reason to be that close behind a car in front of you. No reason at all.


I swear, one of these days I'm gonna have to give a tailgater a nice break check. If they hit me, it's their fault.

The worst would have to be slow cars in the left lane. If you want to go slower than the speed limit, you have no business in the left lane. Oh and another is drivers on their cell phones. I don't know how many times I've almost been crushed by people talking on their cell phones while driving and not paying attention to other cars on the road!! http://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/madrun.gif

HELL YES MANNY!!!

Here's a little tip for my fellow motorists, if you are on the access road approaching a yield sign and you see a Frito Lay 18 wheeler exiting the highway, I STRONGLY suggest you stop, because I DO NOT YIELD to idiots who don't know what a yield sign means. Unless you want a big white scrape down the side of your vehicle, of course. Just the other day, some moron in a Jeep Cherokee failed to yield to me at the southbound exit off of 35 at Eisenhower. I ran her into the next lane and blew the horn at her which prompted her to flip me off. SHE violated the law, SHE almost caused an accident, which would have been HER fault and she flips ME off. I almost died laughing.

Since we're having a traffic pet peeves discussion, let's tackle the following issue: ENTERING THE FREEWAY (EXPRESSWAY, HIGHWAY, INTERSTATE, ETC...)

Here's a tip: HIT THE FREAKING GAS! It is NOT, contrary to popular belief, the responsibility of highway traffic to match YOUR speed.

After 15 years of truck driving, I no longer move over or slow down to let oncoming traffic on the highway. Here's why: Many (most) folks timidly enter the freeway, and when you move over, they either suddenly realize they have a gas pedal and punch it, when if they did that to begin with, you wouldn't have had to move over, or they match speed with you and keep you from getting back over.

Plus, with the sudden popularity of idiotic "No Trucks In The Left Lane" laws, I just flat refuse to move over. Don't like it? Contact your congressperson, city councilperson, or other elected official, and point out the idiocy of restricting the largest vehicles on the road to the 2 lanes in which most traffic moves occur.

EFFING TOURISTS!!!!

God I can't stand them! People who don't know where the fuck they are going and instead of pulling over to go over your destination plan you decide to stop in the middle of a busy road so that all of us have to slam the breaks. Or you decide to make a quick right turn from the LEFT lane. God they are so fucking annoying. Or when I'm driving downtown and get behind some fucker who has to drive super fucking slow to check out all the touristy shit around that area. Gimmie a break man, I'm trying to get home!


I'm also on the slow left lane people bandwagon. I seriously hate hate HATE that. I was driving down 181 towards Floresville one evening. 181 has a speed limit of 65 mostly and some areas it's 70. I some how end up behind some dumb broad going 50mph in the left lane. I follow for a few minutes thinking she'll see me and move over, but nooooo of course not. So I flash my bright lights at her thinking she'll definitely see me now and move over. Not the case. I finally move over beside her and give the birdie as I'm passing her and she has the audacity to honk at me. Seriously wtf! People are fucking retarded when it comes to driving.

I HATE that! I also hate it when the reduce the speed limit to 35 or 40 mph on an interstate for 20 or 30 miles because of construction, and they are working on a stretch about 100 yards long. Man, that makes steam come out my ears. They make movable signs, use them in the area you are working and leave the rest alone. They do this on IH-35 on the way to Dallas all the time, and it pisses me off.

I'm going 75-80 on the expressway, nobody behind me for 150+ yards, the guy going 68 decides he better hurry up and get in the left lane so he can pass the guy doing 67 so he cuts me off and takes 2 minutes to pass the guy instead of waiting the literally 5 seconds it would have taken me to blow past both of them.

I hate it when you're behind someone slow, and when you finally get the chance to pass they start to speed up when you're next to them, so you either have to floor it to get in front of them or pull back in behind them.

That's really true. I used to work at HEB and people would park in front of the store for like 45 or more sometimes. If you'd ask them why they're parked in a fire zone, they'd just tell you they're waiting on somebody getting grocery's or maybe a prescription. Then they'd get all pissy when another car would honk at them for taking up half the street... idiots.

When I lived in Georgia, if you didn't "yield" to any and all emergency vehicles (and "yield" means stop and pull off the side of the road), whether you are meeting them or they are coming up behind you, you would get a ticket. If they did not get you on the spot, you'd get one in the mail a few days later. I still cannot believe it when I see drivers in Texas (and other places, too) who look like they are COMPETING for road space with emergency vehicles. Most of them WILL NOT yield in any way. I get the hell out of their way. If that were my Mom or someone else I love in there, I don't want them to be held up or put in jeopardy of having an accident in the ambulance while they are on the way to the hospital.

People, PLEASE HEED EMERGENCY VEHICLES AND FOR CRYING OUT LOUD...YIELD. It's only a few seconds out of your day.

Causing lots of people to have to slam on their brakes from the near collisions.

I absolutely cannot believe what FM 3009 has turned into. In 1978, I moved into those limestone apartments called "Persimmon Hill" at the corner of Live Oak Rd and FM 3009. At that time, hardly anyone used FM 3009 because it was only two lanes at best and was almost impassable in places, especially after heavy rains. The only reason I ever went out that way was to get to the Country Corner Restaurant, which was the only thing on IH-35 between Universal City and New Braunfels (well, other than the Snake Farm, which I have never actually been to, but which you can smell for miles)! All of those places on 3009 where there are now subdivisions of houses and strip malls were farmland and pastures then. One morning, I went out to leave for work and there were cows in the road on 3009 and Live Oak Road and Dietz Rd; I called the police, and they cam and herded them back into the pasture with a police car. Sometimes, now, when driving through the intersection of FM 3009 and IH-35 access rd, I feel like I'm in the twilight zone.

Yep. The road coming out of my subdivision is a two-lane pothole with double yellow lines down the middle and speed limit of 30 mph. People come roaring out of there and pass me like I'm standing still...breaking two laws - speeding and passing in a no-pass zone.
