Rules Of The Road

[Adipost]

- If you are the type of driver who skips the line at an off ramp and instead merge your ass into the exit at the last possible moment...**** YOU!

What makes your time so much more valuable than me that you feel can bypass everyone?

- If you are the type of driver who plants himself in the passing lane driving too slowly...**** YOU!

Get the **** out of the way! Why the **** are you in the left lane driving at the same speed as the truck right next to you?

- If you are the type of driver who signals as you change lanes instead of actually using your turn signal before the maneuver...**** YOU!

Do you understand the purpose of a turn signal?

- If you are the type of driver who falls asleep in the left turn lane when you've already had the green arrow for 5 seconds...**** YOU!

I was literally 2 cars behind you and I couldn't get there in time. You literally have one job to do as you are sitting there in your car, and that's to look straight ahead. What the **** are you doing in your car?

Adipost, the answer to like 99% of your "WHY, WHY DO U DO DIS?" questions are because they are texting/on the phone.

Especially at left turn lanes.... oh im waiting to turn, time to text... and if it is the lead off car, half the line is fucked.... lead off car takes 5 seconds, and then like every other car is a distracted texting fucktard who takes 3-5 seconds to get off their stop, so by car 8 you have waited probably 15-25 seconds to even move and you have no shot of making the light.

If you cause a person to miss a turn light because you take more than 2 seconds to get off your stop, a Cop should pull you over, take your phone, and bash it to pieces in front of you. If you do it more than 3 times, they should shoot you in the face and push ur car into a ditch.

Texting and driving... Worse than drinking and driving.

In Texas half of the drivers do all of those things.

Totally agree with these ones especially. Both piss me off on a daily basis.

Another one is people who need to wait until there's a mile between cars before they'll make a turn. Just fucking go.

As a frequent expressway driver, people cruising in the left lane when I'm trying to get home really piss me off. Especially when they merge into the pass lane and DO NOT FUCKING PASS.

Also, people that stop at the stop sign and wait for the fucking thing to turn green or some shit.

Have to add this, if you hate the driver that waits until the last second to merge, you have to really hate that asshole that jumps on the shoulder in such situations. I've put my car in the middle of the shoulder to **** these people over.

Or the asshole that rides in the merge lane and won't let you get on the expressway. Or they wait until the last possible moment to move onto the ramp, only to miss their chance and stop in front of the barrier, only to have some asshole in front of me stop on the goddamn expressway as I'm doing 65+ mph. **** people are stupid.

I love when you are the car coming and they wait, wait, wait, ok now they go... but they just don't accelerate.... 40mph traffic coming at you and you turn in front of it and do 15 mph... then 20 after 5-10 seconds.... then 30 after 5-10 more seconds.... ok now I go to pass you and now suddenly you are fucking Tokyo drift.

If you got space to go, fucking go, but when I say fucking go, I mean inside of 10 seconds you better be up to the speed limit.

Another oddity I cannot figure out, and maybe it is just people around where I live.

Turn left at a light going from dead stop into the turn, so only speed up to like 20 mph maybe.... come thru the turn and brake during the turn for no apparent reason.... then when you get thru the turn coast along at 20-25 mph in a 35-40 zone..... like without fail every time people do this and I sit in my car and think "Ok you finished the turn, now continue driving.... please just continue fucking driving, we're not done driving yet."

 

[ijustposthere]

It's not just where you live Ares, it's everywhere. And yeah, I hate when people suddenly don't want you to pass them. I don't understand that. It's not like we're going to the same place.

I know people do it all over the place, but I find it is more an idiot in IL not paying attention doing the left lane cruising (not passing)... where as I describe that habit as "Pure Michigan".... every year in the summer we do a weekend at a cottage up in Michigan and without fail you get Pure Michigan in front of you on a 2 lane highway cruising at the speed limit like it is the most ordinary thing in the world... you get whole lines of cars doing it sometimes.

Every year it happens and every year I just hear Tim Allen's voice in my head saying "Pure Michigan"

The left turn thing or turns in general I just don't get it.... it's like people complete a turn and then need 5-10 seconds to reboot their brain and remember what comes next.... oh right im still driving, time to speed up a little bit.

The not wanting you to pass thing is an instinct, we all have it.... if you walk anywhere downtown you will see the exact same instinct/habit in people when you try to pass them walking, they speed up. I catch myself doing it and try to make a conscious effort to stop doing it to be courteous, but I think most times people do that they don't even realize they are doing it, on the sidewalk or on the road. I find this to be the case because if I pass and a person speeds up, often if I just blow by them 10mph faster and move in front of them, after a few seconds if I slow back down to the 5mph faster than them that I was doing, they have returned to their original speed and are fading away.

If people were consciously trying to stop you from passing or they were mad, usually they would not speed up a little or suddenly drop back once you passed them.... I think it is just an instinct in your head, but once the person blows by the instinct is gone and you go back to normal.

All that to say I at least grasp why it happens.... the turn and then coast I have no notion of why people do it.... I was thinking maybe like some instinct from before automatic transmissions.... did people pause and coast in neutral before shifting? But if that was the answer, it wouldn't be so prevalent.

If I was mayor/governor, I would put "Slower traffic keep right" signs every mile on every road.

I think "Slower traffic may be shot with RPGs, yes plural" would be better.

Or the person in front of you in a massive truck or spaceship SUV with enough suspension to support a passenger airliner, and as they turn right into a business or parking lot, they have to take 20 seconds to creep over the tiny driveway kerb as if they're off-roading over a small cliff.

Don't buy like Tarzan if you're going to drive like Jane, you prissy ****!

That leads me to another annoyance.... people who need to full stop or nearly stop in order to make a right turn.

I know it takes some practice to know how much speed is safe for a right turn and it does depend on where you are turning, but all too often you get retards who do zero work in their head and just come to a near stop in front of 40mph traffic as they turn onto a side street. You can turn at 15-25 mph, you do not need to come to a fucking stop.

And then there are the people you drive behind who do 40 to 0 in 20 feet... god forbid you fucking slow down at a normal pace, nope I have to give you a 6 car length cushion so I won't have to slam on my brakes every time you come to a stop at a light. Oh I know you were paying attention to the phone in your lap.... ur friend is so much fun to text with, driving is boring, ur only risking everyone else's life by not giving it your full attention.

My turn:

1. Hate drivers who expect you to slow down or speed up to accommodate upcoming or merging traffic. Um no **** you. It's your job as a vehicle merging onto an interstate to MATCH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC so speed the **** up.

2. Not using your turn signal. It's inches away from your hands on the wheel. Use it you fucking Special person.

3. Driving over the speed limit in residential areas.

4. Driving under the speed limit everywhere else.

5. Not driving with your top off during the summer if you're a female.

Not using your turn signal pisses me off too in general.... but you ever get behind someone who puts it on like 1/4 mile early.... there are 11 places you could turn right between here and the next light, can you wait to turn on ur signal so I'm not guessing at when you will slam on your brakes to turn as so often is the case.

 

[bearmick]

Yeah I think the turn signal is one that pisses me off the most overall.

Not using it at all is the worst. These are just inconsiderate ******* absorbed in their own bubble and not giving a **** about anyone else.

To be fair I feel the same way all public inconsideration. People who stand in the middle of narrow grocery aisles or leave their carts in parking spaces because walking the 20 feet to put it away is too much work. People at work who congregate in groups to chat (100% of the time about meaningless inane shit) in the kitchen or outside the bathroom where people are busily trying to get by or get things done.

I have more to do and frankly you're just in my fucking way!

 

[truthbedamned]

How about the fuckstick driving the Ford F350 4X4 pickup raised 20 inches or the Cadillac Escalade that has to come to a complete fucking stop turning into a parking lot or going over a speed bump and your right behind him with traffic coming at you at 35MPH.
