What pisses me off in traffic?

[A.F.F.]

- Those who drive too slow.
- Those who drive too fast.
- Those who decide to put a gear in trafficlights AFTER the lights has chanced.
- Those who drive too near.
- Those who seem to drive without any determined destination.
- Those who seem to have no clue what so ever.
- Those who drive BMWs
- Speeding cameras.
- Those who apparently has chosen randomly to drive the same frigging route as I with a difference they want to drive it slooooooowly.
- Those who consentrate more on speaking their mobile than driving.
- Drunk drivers.
- Those who are wannabe fast and furious.
- Women who have their seat so close the steering wheel their nose is against windscreen.
- Apparently everything.

How could I miss that. I especially hate old fellas with those frigging hats.

I also hate those who have to basicly stop when turning in an intersection. Why on earth do they have to stop ??????????

[maxu05]

Indecisive drivers annoy me.

[306 Cosworth]

People who join the motorway at 40-50mph, now that rally pi$ses me off!

Also people who sit in traffic or at lights with their brake lights on, especially in the dark.

Any my biggest hate of all, people driving around with their front fogs on for no apparent reason :mad: :mad:

[A.F.F.]

And those people who change long beams away AFTER they see you coming.

[Woodeye]

-People who take the left lane in the motorway and drive under the speed limit thus creating massive traffic
-People who decide to pass a truck in the motorway driving 1 kph faster than the truck
-People who drive Mercedes-Benz
-People who just have to get on to road with the freakin caravan
-People who can't park their car without smashing other cars
-People who just have to use the rear fog light when it rains, snows or whatever just a bit harder than normally
-People with motorbikes who drive in between two lines on heavy traffic
-People with Volvo XC90, BMW X3 or X5
-45,7% of all motorists
-97,5% of all pedestrians if I ride a bicycle
-People who ride 3 times a year with their bikes to the office but have bought the best riding gear possible with at least 1000€ and the bike costs 2000€. And still they don't see it necessary to oil the chain...

[JSH]

EEEEEVERYBODY!!!!!!! :vader:

[GridGirl]

I hate moron boy racers in rubbish cars who deem fit to block every lane on the M1 contraflow and drive at 10 miles an hour with blown up condoms hanging out the window while their mates in an equally rubbish car follow behind them filming them for youtube no doubt. Thats happened to me twice in about 6 weeks. Grrrrr

[MrJan]

Also people who sit in traffic or at lights with their brake lights on, especially in the dark.

:wave: Hello

To be fair my handbrake struggles a bit to hold the car but in general I'm just lazy.

I don't like it when people stop at the end of my road and allow a gap for cars to get down the turning but just end up stopping me from getting down it because I'm stuck behind them.

Most of all I hate people that just don't know how to drive or where they're going because they are liabilities who are just asking to crash into me.


Edit: Oh and I really hate it when you think you see a cute girl in the mirror but when they get closer you realise you were really, really wrong.

Oh and I hate people that have to take their driving test more than 5 times. Sometimes you just have to accept that you aren't cut out for some things.

[Drew]

:up: :up: I've had to join a dual carriageway behind somebody at 30mph before (I wasn't even following a tractor but a Vectra) never have I been so annoyed before or since, stupid to**er.

If people don't get in my way / crash, I'm not too bothered about it. I'm slightly surprised how stressed out about it some people get, relax and calm down!

[GryanG]

People who drive 90 in an 80 zone and then when it changes to 100 they do they keep driving at 90, on a single lane road.

[leopard]

Hateing too much people can give some stress and migraine ;)

[Mark]

I drove at 70 rather than 80 to work today and I arrived quite relaxed :D

[schmenke]

I thought you took the train?

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Rover drivers, but they seem to be becoming rarer, they seem to have been replaced by Toyota drivers.

Oh, and Citroens are either driven stupidly by a boy racer or incompentantly by hippies.

[theblackflagger]

add people who constantly sit on your bumper while sitting at the stop light to the list

[harvick#1]

people who drive Ford Explorers
people who move over 4 lanes right before a redlight to get into the left turn lane
people who are on your ass when you slow down for a red light
people who put their bass so high for there rap songs
people who leave there left/right turn light on for miles and miles

[ShiftingGears]

People who own massive 4WD's but are too spacially inept to drive them competently.

[tmx]

The one that annoyed me more than other is over confident suv drivers, who seem to follow you 10ft from behind and doesn't mind other people's space. The way for them to make turn is that if the turn is 300ft away or less, they change lane and pass back you in front of you, then make the turn and you have to brake harder than normal. I also notice that in the rain they drive 5mph faster than normal.

But I had my fair share of stupid driving. This one time I was at a stop sign getting ready to make a right turn, but someone was coming up close behind and I was accelerating way too fast and sharpy turning out of the corner, which ended up making a huge amount of smoke blocking the view of the driver behind. He must had not been so happy.

[Garry Walker]

Oh and I hate people that have to take their driving test more than 5 times. Sometimes you just have to accept that you aren't cut out for some things.

I thought this would never happen, but I have to agree with you here.
If you can`t pass the driving test on your 3rd time, you should be forced to redo the whole course, but after a 3 year waiting period. I know of cases where people pass on the 6th or 7th attempt, this clearly means they are not good drivers, but just got lucky once.

I hate:
*drivers who are incompetent - this mostly affects middle-aged women I have noticed. They panick over anything and when the situation requires some calm thinking, they turn complete idiots. I once was subjected to a hilarious sight when a woman was trying to park for ages, just doing the same all the time and not managing it. That wasn`t the only time.

*young male drivers who think they are better than Loeb, when in reality the first moment there is rain or snow they struggle to keep it on the road.

*people who can`t park properly. By that I mean people who park their cars diagonally, let`s say at supermarket parking lots, with rear of the car over one line and front end over the other line. I recently had a case of that where some fool had parked his car so close to mine and diagonally (not properly), that I had troubles getting in the car when I came back, not wanting to hit his car with my door. Because this fool was still sitting in his car, obviously waiting for someone, and as I was being diplomatic as ever, I knocked on his window and asked if he needed help parking the car or if he was just ****ing stupid. No answer.

[A.F.F.]

Around 50 years old fellas who live their dream with too big bikes they can't drive.

[MrJan]

I thought this would never happen, but I have to agree with you here.

:eek: :eek:

Me neither :)


I have a quite specific complaint now. There is a really steep hill on my way home (duel carriageway) and I try to go all the way down without touching the brakes. The problem is that you get people in front desperatly trying to stick to 70 and braking even though they'll happily do 80 on the flat and if I go slow from the top so that they don't get in my way you can guarantee that some knob will pull out in front of me. To make it worse at the bottom it goes single lane (not a problem) and then merges with another 2 lane road to become a 3 lane motorway. So why do people hit the brakes at the merge and slow from 70 to 50 just to join the motorway? Then I pull out to overtake them and they're doing 80 again and pull across in front of me so that I have to switch to the outside to overtake or stay in the middle lane with someone 2 foot from my bumper (inside lane usually got something slower in it). To make it even more annoying I need to turn off at the next junction and usually end up going across 3 lanes far too quickly.

In short I just hate rush hour, everyone drives too close and you either sit at 60 or have to do 90 unless you want to be dangerously close to people which I absolutely hate.

[MrJan]

Just seen this. Nice :D

[leopard]

traffic jam, damaged road and sleeping policemen.

[Mark]

Or like in Leeds yesterday where I'm happily going along a dual carriageway in heavy traffic in the right hand lane and the lane I'm in ends, as I don't know the road I'd no idea this was going to happen, but I think fine, the traffic is only moving at 5mph, I indicate and expect to merge with the traffic on the left.

Would they let me in? Would they buggery! Some even gave me the finger as they drove past :mad: . Have they never heard of merge in turn?

[leopard]

Ban them! :laugh: ;)

[gadjo_dilo]

ALL romanian drivers. The prototype of this ill-mannared species is usually driving an expensive car beyond his real consumer spending. This car makes he think he's a sort of God of all roads. For him/her there are not speed limits or priority rules. They always play music loud in the car, to the extent that the vibrations could break windows ( the most annoying are the guys who listern to trivial gipsy music ). They would park cars on footpaths, blocking other cars or the entrance in courts/houses. The fancy car is matched by the noisest alarm system, fixed at the level when it's activated if somebody walks 10 metres near the car. Of course it may ring all night long cos the owner can't be bothered to see why. Anyway he's not parking the car on his street.They don't respect pedestrians on zebra. Pedestians have either to let the cars pass or to do a slalom through cars.
Of course such a driver thinks that the other drivers are stupid and they are not ashamed to hide this idea: colourful swearing ( adressed esp. to women ), spittings and sometimes real fights tend to become a national sport.

[AndyRAC]

People who slow down before an steep hill, i;e Sutton Bank, Parbold Hill, then have no momentum to get up the hill. Why?

This is the same on the A38 at Holden hill when coming from Plymouth, but of course there is a speed camera at the bottom just before it merges with the motorway!

[Camelopard]

- Drivers with fog lights on when there isn't fog.
- Drivers who dive in, out brake you and overtake on the inside at roundabouts.
- Drivers talking on mobiles, often young women with children in the car.
- Drivers that empty their ashtrays in car parks or throw buts out the window.
- Harley riders with no baffles in the mufflers, what makes them think they are above the law?
- Sub woofers!

[MrJan]

I was talking about Telegraph hill as I come back from Paignton most days :D

At the top of Holdon I always turn off onto the old road which is always empty, most times I can get down that road as quick as anyone on the dual carriageway AND you don't have to deal with the speed camera ;) :D

Wagon drivers who insist on overtaking on dual carriageways, where there is less than 1mph difference in the speeds of the two vehicle concerened!

Wagon drivers who block of the outside lane approaching roadworks miles before the restriction, for no apparent reason!

Before I get driven off the road by the next trucker I see, the majority of HGV's are driven by proferssionals who know what they're doing, and are a pleasure to share the road with.

[Mark]

This is a massive problem. Coming home yesterday the motorway goes from 3-lanes down to 2-lanes, during the 25 mile 2-lane stretch I never got above 60mph as there were lorries overtaking the entire time. A road which is free flowing at 70mph+ can be reduced to a crawl because of this :(

[Christina]

i hate drivers who drive erratically. I'm driving a manual car with my left arm in a sling, STOP PULLING IN FRONT OF ME DRAMATICALLY THEN SLOWING DOWN!! I dont have the patience to keep changing gear or steering around you especially when i've forgone painkillers so that i can drive somewhere and not spend another day lying in bed feeling sorry for myself.

Also, people who drive around carparks at 2km/h looking for a parking space. Just coz you're going slow doesnt mean that a space will magically materialise. This goes similarly for the one armed thing. changing gears with an arm that has just been operated on really hurts! dont make me do it unnessecarily!

Or perhaps i should just not be driving at the moment....

how is it irresponsible if i'm driving better than half the idiots out there and paying more attention than i usually would to what i'm doing. It's not like i'm driving after taking the painkillers either. i'm just having a few gear change issues..

[Galveston dunes]

My peeve is when strolling down a highway at the posted speed I come up on someone who doesn't want to be passed so they accelerate and move in front of me only to slow and [I've accually seen them do this] set thier speed control for a slower speed than what I was going. This continues for miles and finally I move pass and stay accelerated for about 300 yards and set my speed to the posted limit once again.
I mean whats the sense in that. I would have passed and moved on without the drama quicker if they just didn't accelerated in the 1st place.

It is very hard to maintain a steady pace when you are drunk. That is why they invented cruise control. You take one dimension out of the equation

[Spoonbender]

People coming towards you, who swerve to avoid something in the road (usualy a plastic bag) thus coming straight for you on your side of the road. Somehow they think this is the better alternative, normally a 4x4.

Peolpe who miss their turning off the roundabout, then, on realising, yank the steering wheel and just about take the front of your car off with no apparent notice that there was a car behind them who knew where he was going.

I pulled this up because this one pisses me off in particular. When somebody is driving in front of me planning to make a turn. WHY do they have to slow down, almost stop before making the turn complete ???? I mean the next step would be to stop and take a tent from the trunk and camp there in the middle of the junction. This is unbelivable. **** !!!!

Fecking retards.

You're supposed to use the available lanes whenever the there's a bottleneck up ahead because traffic flows better instead of creating long tailbacks.

At a busy Silverstone there's usually clear signs to tell people to use both lanes when exiting the car parks onto the A43.

I hate it whenever I try to 'push in' there's always an inconsiderate so and so who refuses acknowledge you're there by adopting tunnel vision.

there were several things that I always found amusing on the UK motorways:
-empty lanes alongside a queue of traffic, miles before the roadworks, occasionally blocked by the militant old farts dave mentioned.
-militant old farts who believed they had the right to be in any lane they wanted just because they thought they were close enough to the speed limit.
-eejuts who thought that an indicator, however sudden, relieved them of looking in their mirrors before cutting out in front of you.
-people moving out a couple of miles before an intersection to let their imaginary friends incorporate, while impeding real traffic behind them.

[Mark in Oshawa]

Well, A topic in which I have many complaints and probably am as well versed as anyone on the forum.

What pisses me off? People who cant merge and people who cant grasp that the passing lane is just that ...THE PASSING LANE. In the rig, that merge thing means I am on the brakes or trying to move over to let them in to avoid slamming on the brakes. With a load on a rig, you cannot be constantly braking and dealing with people who come off the ramp onto the highway 20mph slower than the traffic. Just when you slam on the brakes to avoid turning them into road pizza, they then find the loud pedal an zoom off.

I have a special place in hell for those, since most in the US seem to also drive Prius's with Obama stickers on the back.....

I also hate people who cannot handle the speed limit, people who cannot handle decision making at lights or intersections, people who think trucks are the dangerous ones on the highway while doing everything they can to make our life more difficult. Nothing annoys me more in the rig than putting my signal on to change lanes to get off onto the right ramp or move over to avoid some doofus coming down the ramp 20mph slower than everyone else, and the idiot sitting beside me ignores the signal, or better yet, forces me to brake and THEN gives me the bird...as if I did something wrong.

I tell you, when I am in the truck, I am totally flummoxed WHY people behave as they do. You give way for people, you allow people in, you move over when you can and you should ALWAYS read the situation in front of you and see that the guy in the rig with the signal on isn't changing lanes to piss YOU off, but he is trying to either avoid running someone over, or he has to move over to get to a ramp. It is easy to drive, it is hard to drive with others aroudn you who are so so selfish they cannot realize they are putting themselves or others in danger.

Oh ya..one more thing. When two lanes merge into one for an accident or construction, why do the people who ignore the merge/lane closed signs always roar down and then try to cut in front? I would love to shoot a few of those....
