Worst driver habits

BuckeyeZ · 08-10-2012, 06:53 AM

Folks in my area love to get into the left-hand lane and start to slow down for the turn 2 miles before they need to make the turn....all the while holding-up the traffic that is trying to pass.

I hate driving through an intersection with a green light only to get T-boned by someone running a red light. THAT'S aggravating

When its a right turn and there is a sign that says "no turn on red" and the guy behind you doesn't seem to understand this and starts honking at you.

And how people don't let you merge, and then when you have to squeeze in they get angry and honk ect.

And the common one, when people drive really slow on two lane roads and hold everyone back. And I'm forced to do a double yellow pass out of frustration.

And I'm kind of annoyed that with this car, passing someone is an instant challenge. Im not kidding when i say someone wants to race me every single time i go out for a drive. last night on the way to walmart, STI wants to race, on the way back a M3.

Actually, some azzholes tailgate just because they don't know how to drive. I've seen people tailgate, and then when the person in front switches lane, they either tail gate the next person or get behind the person they were originally following. Some people are really f*cking stupid.

I even had someone do that to me at a stop light where we were both making left turns, and the light was green, but there was a RED ARROW for left turns. Guy honked, then swerved around me to make the illegal turn.

I ignore them. They won't pay your ticket or day in court.

People who stop at the end of a highway on-ramp because they don't know how to f-ing merge. Maybe if there were going faster than 20 mph around the ramp they would have been able to accelerate to merge speed more easily!

I think the worst habit for people on the freeway is they would slow down and check out an accident even tho it is minor and would end up slowing down the traffic.

By far one of the most annoying things ever. I've been in too many situations where the accidents been cleared off the freeway but there's still traffic because people slow down to look at it =____="

Overestimating their brakes, and their driving ability.

You're right, I can recall a few times where someone was on my *** in traffic and I moved over and they got in behind me and stayed right on my *** anyway. I don't brake check them but I will slow down until they figure out they should pass me.

people going to same speed limit and no using their blinker...common floridians, they do that and I think its lack of driver's education and old people

10mph below the speed limit on the far left lane..... aka fast lane

The elderly and drunks driving on the wrong side of the divided roadway.

w0rM · 08-12-2012, 05:53 PM

I think my top 10 list has already been covered. I did want to add, any time someone starts tailgating me, I just take my foot off the gas until they pass or stop tailgating. It's surprising effective although it won't make you any friends. lol
