Bad Driving...

Poll question: Bad Driving...

What is your biggest bad driving pet peeve?

[Dude_CalmDown]

1. DLLR's - Dedicated Left Lane Riders

Get the hell out of the left lane.

[GOPisBAD]

8. Holy Hell that annoys me...

...why drive in the left lane if you're only going to go 55 miles per hour? Not only is it illegal, but it is dangerous, too.

It isn't that complicated, in fact it is much like politics...right lane: slow and dumb, middle lane: safe and steady, left lane: actually trying to get somewhere. :-)

2. Other: people who go below the speed limit in the passing lane

This seems to be a problem with NJ drivers. I am sitting here in NJ after driving from Boston. Yes, Massachusetts drivers are aggressive, rude, kamikaze, and crazy, but Jersey drivers suck. I can't tell you how many NJ drivers were going 55 mph in the fast line-IN A 65 MPH ZONE!!!

In Massachusetts people would blow you off the road...

18. Those folks in NJ? - all of 'em live in VA

They're just visiting NJ.

The stupid bastards here actually do this on purpose!! I talked with a former co-worker (a true-blue Fundy, BTW) and she was proud of the fact that she was doing her part to keep those "crazy speeders" off the road.

She was unable to comprehend the fact that her actions would lead to people zooming by her at 90 mph with their middle finger extended, however.

I think on the VA driving test the correct answer to the question "What lane should you be in if you are traveling 15 mph under the posted speed limit?" is (c) passing. :)

3. Instant parking lot mode syndrome - when following a car into a parking

lot the driver in front always switches on his 'fucking idiot' switch, and comes almost to a complete stop.

I hate that.

[DS1]

4. People that back up on the highway because they missed their

exit. Sorry asshole, go around and try again

[Endangered Specie]

5. lol, good one.

Can't believe I forgot that one. :grr:

[fujiyama]

7. lol

I've never seen that before. Geee, now that doesn't sound like it could cause an accident! :eyes:

[gyopsy]

6. People who don' t signal at all

You should get into the habit of using it at EVERY turn. It will become second nature. People don't realize that it's not just people behind them that rely on their turn signals to see what they are going to do next.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

9. That would be most Massachusetts drivers

using your turn signal would give away what we're doing.

For the record, I always signal.

10. Rubber-necking, without a doubt

Nothing worse than having an accident on the opposite side of the divided highway causing a 3 mile backup on your side of the divided highway.

[AllegroRondo]

11. Its the number one cause of accidents

at least in my home state of Missouri.

Number 2 is weather.

[-..__...]

12. Lane jumpers.

Traffic is obviously, backed up at an exit ramp or stop light and some asshole will pass on the left or right then try to cut in front of the cars that had already been waiting.

Second pet peeve... the ass clowns that let them cut in.

[DS1]

16. Definitely Republican logic in action. To hell with society,

to hell with a system that works, I got mine and F you!

I hate them too. Sometimes it's a good thing I don't own again, because then traffic would be really backed up while the police counted the emtpy shells on the road :nuke:

[flvegan]

13. People who speed up, get in front of you, then slow down

Sometimes I wish the cruise control "on" button also caused a huge boxing glove to shoot out of the steering wheel, right into the face of the drive.

[flvegan]

14. Or, how about those that REFUSE to turn right on red or advance to

turn on green (in municipalities that allow this).

I have driving issues.

[flvegan]

15. No, no...wait...those that drive 120 feet behind the guy in front of them

allowing every dimwit to cut in front of him (you, of course are behind him and can't get over to pass).

Where's my frickin' laser, mini-me?!

[_TJ_]

17. People who crash into the back of me at traffic lights!

I ride a bike and sometimes I swear I must be sodding invisible.

This has happened to me three times! :grr:

[Wcross]

19. "Buddies"

On long streches of interstate there always seems to be someone who just won't go away. If you speed up, they speed up. Slow down and they slow down.

Also, inconsistent drivers! You have your cruise control set and here they come. After they pass you they slow down and force you to pass. The game can last for miles and I find it to be a pain.

The people that camp in the passing lane. One idiot can hold up a whole lot of people doing this.

THE MOST UPSETTING- Left lane campers that decide to get over to the right hand lane when you have already started passing them on the right. Please stay where you are if I am attempting to pass you. Moving to the right lane is something you should have done before I came up from behind you.
