Traffic Rants

Leave 'em here.

Here are some of my own:

1) Not using a turn signal
2) Pulling out in front of me
3) Tailgating

As a pedestrian, I have an issue when I am walking my dog and people don't let me cross the street in our neighborhood. The stop signs are before the sidewalk, but they'll stop at the intersection and block the sidewalk so that I basically have to stand there and wait for them to go before I can even cross the street. So annoying.

Leaving your turn signal on after you've turned/merged for miles down the road

sunkissed212 · August 2010

driving under the speed limit...If it's 45 I will ride your @ss until you go 45

merging at 25mph...we have to merge into traffic going 70+, something tells me entering 696 at 35mph isn't going to work out too well

turn signals, seriously. use them.

When people don't use the turn lane to make their turns.

People obviously looking for a street that brake at every single street.

When people throw their cigarette butts (or anything for that matter) out the window.

GAWKERS.

- People who don't obviously see my car. It's bright RED.
- People who try to drag race with me. I have a two door coupe, not a sports car..(seeing the trend here?)
- Slow drivers in the fast lane

Backing out without looking. Last week I almost got hit as I was walking.
Not using your turn signal really ticks me off
Waiting to the lane ends to merge and just excepting me to let you in.
Driving slow in the left lane, get over or speed up.
Tailgating, just because your ridding my A$$ doen't mean I'm going to go any faster especially when there no where to go.

This isn't traffic related, but I hate when people park in their driveways and block the sidewalk, even though they have room to move forward.

This!

I have another one. When there are TWO turn lanes that means the RIGHT turn lane turns into the RIGHT lane, and the LEFT turn lane turns into the LEFT lane. It's not that difficult people!

And, I also hate the people who wait until the last minute to merge. You can drive on the shoulder all you want...I'm still not going to slam on my breaks and get rear ended to let you in.

People driving dangerously really irks me. Speeding excessively, tailgating, not checking your blind spot before changing lanes, suddenly and with no turn single squeezing into a teeny tiny space between two cars, getting impatient and racing around someone on the right, not allowing people to get into their lane when there's a lane closure, racing through very late yellow lights (had someone PASS me the other day as I was stopping at a yellow light - really?), and just generally being a jerk. I'm not advocating that everyone drive all granny style, but seriously, car accidents KILL people! You're not a professional race car driver! Just take a chill pill and drive safely.

I hate it when it says lane closed ahead, and drivers wait to the last minute to get over. Also, people who drive too fast and tailgate. I can't go 60 when the person in front of me is only going 40. I hate when a person takes up two lanes driving down the road because they don't know how to handle their oversized Escalade or Hummer.

I REALLY hate when I see kids not buckled up or not in a car seat when they obviously should be.

I almost forgot: It really p*sses me off when I see people doing anything besides driving and paying attention while on the road. (ie talking on the phone, eating, texting, etc). I don't care how good you think you are at multi-tasking, you should be paying attention. Driving is a privilege not a right.

<div>This is a HUGE one for me too! This happened to me constantly when I was driving home from my old internship. So irritating.</div><div>
</div><div>I could go on FOREVER with this thread. Most of it has already been said.<div>
</div><div>First, I'm sorry that I have to merge into full blown traffic during rush hour onto 75, but there is NO reason whatsoever that you need to speed up a ridiculous amount so that I can't get in front of you. I am only one car. I just need to merge. The merge lane is really short so please cut me some slack here.</div><div>
</div><div>Second, this doesn't really have to do with drivers, but I am beyond sick of the construction EVERYWHERE. Enough said.</div></div><div>

My biggest rant is when FI and I are on the motorcycle and people tailgate. We're on a bike people! You don't need to be inches from our rear tire.

Gwenwhyfare · August 2010

Another one that annoys me, is when I park in the back of the parking lot whether it's at the grocery store, the mall, etc - someone always parks next to me. I parked in BFE for a reason people! Don't park next to me.
