Worst driver habits

RiCharlie · 07-17-2012, 08:21 PM

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.

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.

People who don't know how to use their gas pedal on the acceleration ramp.

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..

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

Really! I'll add "People who don't move over for faster traffic and then brake-check you just because you want to pass."

They won't tailgate you if you get the hell out of the left lane.

Yes! Even if I am doing 20 over, if someone comes up behind me I move over to let them pass at the first opportunity.

I can’t stand drivers with cars/trucks that have not been taken care of that when they push the gas to go there is a big black cloud of smoke.

No excuse to tailgate ever.

I hate people that tailgate at speeds of 50mph or above. Gambling on your ability to react to a sudden stop at that speed with little distance between you and the car ahead of you is a very dangerous game, and is unnecessarily stressful for both drivers.

Even when I'm mad at some slow mfer in the fast lane, I give them a few car lengths.

I have seen accidents occur from tailgating. I don't want any parts of that.

Oh, I agree, tailgating is dumb. But why do people do it? To let some jerk know they need to move over who wasn't getting the message when your car suddenly appeared in their rear-view... Because they never bother to check. And, you can't just shoot them... Except in Texas, or so I read on the Internet.
