Worst driver habits

RiCharlie

My grandson went to drivers school today and when he came out I asked him if he had learned any of the drivers skills his father has mastered.

Specifically I wanted to know if he had learned how to cut someone off in crowed traffic..with extra points given if the other driver either honked the horn or threw the finger.

I asked if he learned his father's skill of coming up on a stopped car full speed, jamming on the brakes and blowing the horn at the last second..thus scaring the s**t out of the other driver and causing the driver behind to swerve off the road..almost.

And also i wondered if he has mastered his dad's special "passenger coffee" technique whereby you hit the accelerator then the brake then the accelerator in such a pattern as to cause your passenger to spill a fresh cup of coffee all over themselves..

All of which brings me to the point of this thread..What is one the thing that other drivers do that irritates you the most?


One which especially irks me is when you are in the middle or left lane want to exit right. You put on your directional indicating a right move but no one will let you in... In desperation, as you approach the exit.. you slowly move over... and some one lays on the horn..and throws the finger..at you..

That's mine..what's yours?

People who refuse to pull into an intersection on a green light to make a left turn ensuring that they are the ONLY one who will get through the light once it turns.

Oh man, that is where I get crazy...I am usually looking out my passenger window to see where I am going.

Freeway on ramps are the best...0 to 65 MPH and then just cruise when I am on the Freeway..

with the way people drive around my area i would be afraid to enter that type of intersection too...aside from that though my personal favorite is the people who ride your *** for five blocks just to try and get you to go faster so they can abruptly turn into the driveway leading to their house all the while nearly causing an accident in opposing traffic.

I will say it seems that 90% of sh1tty driving seems to involve poor merging skills.

Every driver that always has to TAILGATE me while I'm slowing down for a dip. Seriously, screw off! I know the car is attractive, but the way you're staying right behind me is going to make the car unattractive in a few seconds.

People who sit at a red light in the middle of nowhere with no turn signal on, then when it turns green, they turn right. YOU COULD HAVE GONE THE WHOLE TIME!

I posted this story but it subsequently disappeared.

I am a tailgater-magnet. I do something that was enticed by driving techniques used to save gas. Coasting to red lights, etc. In heavy traffic on a highway/freeway, I let the car ahead of me get around five car lengths away. I slowly move towards the car ahead at a steady pace while that car goes 10 mph for two seconds, stops completely, goes 10 mph, etc...

I'm behind a Mini at a stop light. Light turns green, guy proceeds to drive normally. Dude takes like 30 seconds to get up to 45. The whole time I'm maybe a car length behind. I change lanes at the SAME time as this guy, into the same lane. I'm tired of this, especially considering the speed limit just increased to 50. I change lanes again, only to see this guy do the same thing. While this is happening, the dude is speeding up and slowing down. I finally just break free of this dude, and go into the other damned lane just to pass this insane-o freak. It's like 2am. No one else is out there. Need to make a left turn at the next stop light. Red light. The guy pulls up to me and screams out how window to "get off my ***, bitch." You're kidding me. I don't answer, he calls me a dumbass, and I drive normally, making a left turn. The dude pulls a holy torque steer batman and drives straight.

I have never felt my faith in other drivers drop so precipitously as that night.
