Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Common Interests Most annoying harmless thing other drivers do

The other day this happened and it annoys the piss out of me. I was approaching an intersectiong where traffic crossing the street had a stop sign yet I didn't. She waited till I was 20 ft from the intersection and then pulled out in front of me to cross. I went behind her just missing the curb and the back of her SUV. I hit the brakes, backed up and went after her. She parked a half block away and I said some choise words to her.

Also Living in a town people just don't know how to drive. For example when a person doesn't know how big their car is. They pull over to let oncoming traffic pass when I can see that they would have had at least 5 feet to pass. Also people who pull way the fook out in the lane to pass a parked car. They usually do that when I am the oncoming traffic and force me to damn near hit another car. Stupid people who don't know their car's should not be allowed to drive.

oh also people who put in high power bulbs in their rice mobile and aim them in my friggin eyes.

How about when you have a stop sign and the cross street doesn't. Somehow they see an imaginary stop sign and make it a four way stop. You're looking at them like an idiot for 2-3 seconds and then you go because they aren't. Then they try to go the same time as you.

1. Rubber-neckers

2. People who don't use turn signals.

3. People who ride your a$$ when they can PLAINLY see you can't go any faster. I do like Honkey--SLOW DOWN.

4. People who don't remember the answers to most of the questions on their driver's test, BECAUSE THEY OBVIOUSLY CAN'T DRIVE. Or got their licenses from a cracker jack box.

-Both lanes occupied by two ignorants going the same speed, about 5mph below speed limit, as im trying to hurry to work because im almost late.


-Old people in or out of the driver's seat.


-Minivan drivers and wagon drivers.


-Anybody that doesnt think about anything other than themselves. (again, the ignorants)


-Smarta##ses who wont let you pass by taking up two lanes just to make sure. (now im getting angry thinkin about it)


-Cops.

Rich kids driving around town in new loaded Camaros, Mustangs, etc. their daddies bought them, yet they can't drive a fu#$%ng stick, and kill the engine all the time at stoplights.

i just really hate being passed. It makes me feel like im doing something wrong.

Looks like Stazi named most of the ones I was going to.

My biggest irritation. Every night when coming home from work I come upon the spot in the freeway where it merges from three lanes to two. I have driven it enough that I am starting to recognize other cars from the daily commute! Every day, they race to the end of that third lane then panic when noone lets them in. I watched a guy almost eat the side of the bridge because he wouldnt let off the gas just enough to fall in behind the car that he was next to.

I havent noticed as much of those lately. The more common one around here is idiots leaving their highbeams on. I had one of these tonite. 300M highbeams are decent, but Hellas are better. Wonder if he thinks so too?

I think my top two irritations are the people that dont use their signals (especially in traffic), and the ones that wait, and wait, and wait, then when you are almost about ready to pass them, they jump in front of you at 10-15 mph below your speed. Its even worse when they dont use their signals. "Hey buddy, how about I pull my brake light fuse and then slow down in front of you. Its the same thing!"

Yet another good one, and one I have only really noticed in Utah. Someone is in a lane and they want into the other lane. There is room, so they turn on their signals, and prepare to change lanes. The moron in the lane that the guy is about to get in, actually speeds up, just to have to hit the brakes. I watched a guy do this the other day and I was able to actually see the car downshift and we were doing 75! He must have pulled it out of overdrive and into second.

I will second the mandatory driving tests after 65, but I vote to lower the age. Mandatory tests every four years, no matter what your age. Stricter tests as well.

Wow, that was a lot longer then I thought it was going to be.

I got another one, how about when you are on a 3 lane road, you are in the middle or left lane, the right lane is clear, but someone on the right side of the road, leaving a business or somewhere else, decides it's TOO EASY to pull out into the open right lane, nooooooo, they MUST jump over into YOUR lane, cutting you off. This happens to me CONSTANTLY. It's annoying, I mean, the damn right lane....the one the SHOULD be in is CLEAR, but they got to go to either the middle or left lane for NO DAMN REASON, because I wind up turning off before they do.
