Annoying Drivers

[EricTheCarGuy]

They’re everywhere. I’m even guilty of being one. That doesn’t make it any less annoying though. So what things annoy you about other drivers on the road?

Good Topic Eric.

The drivers that really annoy me are the ones that think their time is more important than yours.
My favorite one is on my morning commute. There is a right turn lane that backs up a bit (it may take a minute to get through it, it’s not a big deal), that turns onto a 4 lane road. You still get some self important yahoo who zooms up and turns out of the lane designated to go straight (which is usually empty). Same thing on merging from 2 lanes to one (usually in a construction zone), you get someone zooming to the front of the line, which slows everyone else down.

Also a good tip on people packing. I used to be somewhat of a traffic enforcer for flagrant violators, but not anymore. I just let people go, it’s not worth the possible outcome.

I was riding in a car with my uncle and some guy speeding behind us riding our back acting like he owned the road or something so we pulled over and he got angry was yelling no fights or nothing but the guy wanted to say we were driving slow we were going 40 which is the speed limit on that road.people these days…Anyone up to go build a new town in the middle of a forest with me ?

This is why I am proud to be from a very small town, on my way into work I may see 2 or 3 cars. But i feel like a fish out of water when I take a road trip to a more populated area (waving the black flag) some people are so inconsiderate its infuriating.

The biggest thing that annoys me is cell phone use while driving, it distracts people from what they should be doing..driving!
Also, people who don’t use their directionals irritate me.
Other than that, people tend to avoid my truck on the road, no one has ever dared to tailgate or cut off a 1970s monster of a pickup truck.
There are people who purposely get close to me just to gawk at it or give me a thumbs up/wave but that’s it. I guess big old truck=intimidating to most people.

Funny thing is that I got the same reactions with my AMC Eagle. A car that sat as high as most trucks.

Call me a Luddite, but alot of technology has done more harm than good. People have become so reliant on tech doing things for them, the common sense department is lacking.

I recently got a Subaru just like the one ETCG had except it’s a manual. I got it to learn how to drive a 5-speed car. However, people here don’t care whether you’re doing the speed limit or not they’re going to ride your butt! So I’m trying to learn to drive a stick with some jerk on my bumper and a loose clutch! Yeehaw. Self centered road hogs are the worst.

Should I mention the idiot this morning who blew by a line of cars at at least 50 MPH on a residential street.

Why the line of cars? There was a school bus with the stop arm out and lights flashing at the front of the line.

If I could have gotten the plate number, I would have gladly taken a day off work to testify against that nutjob…
