Most annoying types of drivers

Post Reply New Topic

I'd say construction workers who just RACE towards home after their working shifts. They seem to be a special kind in terms of driving behaviour.

Those are bad, but far worse are the ones who apparently don't have anywhere they are supposed to be, out on the roads at all hours of the day. If nobody has any jobs how can they afford to drive aimlessly?

Those who drive slowly in from of you when they could be going faster, or at most as fast as whatever the speed limit is.

People who are talking on their cellphones. They're too busy talking to watch where they're going.

Come to my country and you'll realise why people hate Taxi Drivers. And I mean hate.

I'm in the slow lane, already going 10-15 over to keep up with traffic, the fast lane is open, and some jerk is two inches from my rear bumper, leaning on his horn trying to get me to move over for him. I put my blinker on, check my blind spot, and change lanes at a safe pace to oblige the distressed individual. As he passes, he glares into my passenger window, flips me the bird and is clearly mouthing obscenities. I get back into my lane after allowing sufficient space for the other driver to pass, and suddenly he decides that he wasn't in such a hurry after all and reduces speed by 20 mph or more.

Definitely the greenie do-gooders in hybrids hogging the left lane to force their will on everybody else to go slower. I don't care if they want to go 15mph in their Prius; wasting THEIR time to try to get 60mpg, but I want to go my speed, as my time is valuable to me, and they have no right to force me to their beliefs. I understand this isn't such a problem in other places than California, and in fact it doesn't seem to happen at all when I'm driving in Texas. Slower traffic keep right PLEASE!! !! !! If I want to go 85 in a 75 zone, I might get a ticket, and I might get horrible gas mileage, but the fact remains it's MY gas bill and MY ticket to deal with if I get one. Not somebody else'. And it's much safer to let speeders speed in the left lane, and keep slower traffic slow in the right lanes. Nobody gets annoyed, and nobody has to change lanes fast to get around a pokey, which is the cause of most highway crashes that I've seen. Speed alone does not cause accidents. Speeding among slower cars does, and driving slowly among fast cars does

People who try not to come to a full stop at red lights, but just creep and creep and creep 'til it either turns green or they're halfway in the intersection. Just STOP already!! !

The ones who drive slowly when it is impossible to overtake and speed up just enough to make overtaking unsafe when the road straightens out. They brake for EVERY bend in the road, no matter how gentle.

The ones who don't check their blind spot before they switch lanes. My parents almost get hit every time.

Anyone ever notice someone making a boneheaded driving maneuver and almost hitting you, and then you immediately notice that their car is dented in the exact place you would have hit them? This seems to happen all the time to me. It's like people never learn.

I've been in a handful of accidents that were my fault, and each time I've made a conscious effort to avoid the behaviors that caused the accident in the first place.

Women in large SUVs. Hell, most SUV drivers in general. But especially women in them. They go on power trips and tailgate the hell out of you, wave their hands in the air like "WTF ARE YOU DOING" when you're only going like 15mph over the speed limit. Yeah...

Drivers who think they're above the law.

Depends on where.
