Two more driving pet peeves...
Posted on 10/1/24 at 8:07 am

1. Holding your phone to talk while driving when clearly there is Bluetooth/handsfree capability.
2. Taking a turn "wide" when there is no need. I understand if you're trying to make a U-turn on a narrow road but if your just turning left at a signal there is no need to swing out to the right into the next lane before making that turn.

Nothing sends my driver(s) into a complete tizzy like those fools who take forever and a day to make a simple turn. Scandalous!

Do you not even "Swerve on 'em"

They do it for right turns too. Someone driving a small passenger car will swing out left before a right turn like they are pulling a 40 foot trailer. That Nissan Sentra can make the turn without swinging into the next lane.

I'm on to the people that need to cross a 4-lane highway (2 lanes each direction) that has a median to make a left turn. Instead of pulling all the way into the median and not blocking traffic, they just block the 2 lanes before the median so they can get a running start before making that left turn and merging in with traffic.

I can’t get past flashers during rain storms and taking the left lane to go the speed limit or no more than 5 over. Get out of the way in both instances! And get off my lawn!

Driver's who make a right turn onto a main thoroughfare really fast, then slow down once they're on it.

Baw in an F250 speeding while zig zagging around cars on the interstate. Sorry we’re all in your way, hoss but at least buy a sports car if you want to drive like an a-hole.

and, they do this at the very last second.

The m’fer next to me at a red light that brazenly holds up a jar of Grey Poupon really yankees my doodle

Semi trucks that drive like passenger cars on the interstate.
Nothing is worse than a semi passing another semi by going 1 MPH faster and creating a line of cars a mile long.
They’ll jump in that left lane right in front of you too.

One of my biggest is drivers who feel the need to have two car lengths between them and the car in front of them while waiting at a red light. It makes it hard to get into turning lanes because the line is so much longer than it needs to be and drives me insane.

Mine is when 18 wheelers in each lane go the exact same speed so that nobody can pass, clogging up traffic.

People are dumb. I see Rover and other luxury car drivers doing this daily. Not sure how they can afford them and be so ignorant at the basic level.

The worst for me is when I'm in the right lane and somebody tailgates me for 3 miles, finally gets into the left lane to pass me, then immediately slams on their brakes to turn right.

If you are doing 75 in the left lane, frick you.
Posted on 10/1/24 at 9:42 am to sidewalkside
My main driving pet peeve is when people can't maintain a speed. If you try to pass these degenerates, they will assume it's a race and suddenly floor it. Then slow down. Then floor it. Then slow down.
Like, I don't care if you want to be ahead of me, just frickin drive.

One of mine, is when someone pulls onto the street right in front of you, and then 2 blocks later takes 10 seconds to pull into a parking lot to keep from bottoming out on the entrance.
And there is no one behind you. Like, bitch are you in a hurry or not.

The inevitable fool who doesn't understand a 4-way stop, who starts waving other cars through, as I sit behind them contemplating ways to hide their body.
Posted on 10/1/24 at 9:46 am to Ricardo
These idiots who stop 10-20 feet short of the stop line at a red light because they’re worried about getting hit by turning traffic. Drives me nuts. They have not clue of the sensor in the pavement and the red light going way longer than it needs to.
