Some of them even keep the stupid cop spotlights on their side view mirrors! honestly wtf...I'll see a crown vic, white, tinted windows, with a spotlight on the mirror, american flag sticker in the window (lots of cops have those) then I pull up next to it, and its got 20 inch rims, with lil jon smokin a joint, staring at me cause he's never seen an Indian in his life.

Oh god that rings so true with me.

The city put in a new round-a-bout here in the city I work and there aren't any in the arena. It has yield signs on the entrance obviously and all the dumb fucks stop and look both ways like they're at a stop sign.

SHIT ONLY COMES FROM ONE DIRECTION AND YOU CAN SEE THAT ITS CLEAR WHEN YOU'RE PULLING UP. Hot fuck it makes me so mad.

I want to PIT people into the ditch that drive like idiots.

People who don't know how a circle works. If I'm in the circle, I get right of way! I had a dumb lady honk at me when she tried to enter and I was already in the circle.

That goes for anyone.

I go out of my way to NOT be on the phone when driving. I simply just don't answer the call. When my wife calls (using her bluetooth) I even tell her, "let's get off the phone and talk later so you can drive."

Just about any sport bike, tailgaters, people that drive on the shoulder or merge lanes all the way to the front to merge, and speeders that weave through traffic.

I can understand the sportbike thing, I've driving in MD many times and there always seems to be a group of bikes doing at least 100mph in and out of rush hour traffic.

Im a sport bike rider, and I hate the fact that they give us a bad rap.

x2 on driving while on the cellphone.

And lately I'm noticing more people changing lanes the second they put their blinker on. Just because you put the blinker on doesn't mean that your Suburban can fit in the vacinity of my dashboard.

I spend most of the time on the road for work, so Im always stressed about dumbass drivers who don't understand proper highway etiquette. If youre on a two lane interstate, don't sit in the fucking left lane doing the same speed that the guy next to you is doing. PASS him. The left lane is for passing.

Also, people who freak out when they enter a tunnel. Case in point - Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel. Don't worry people, the lane that you are in exists on the other side. Yes, it may get dark for a minute or two and you are going down hill, but dont slam on the fucking brakes just because you can no longer see the fucking sun.

when not driving fire or rescue trucks:
#1. left lane bandits
#2. people on their cell phones who speed up and slow down.
when i'm driving fire and rescue trucks:
#1. people that don't yield to me.
#2. people who won't move over for me/ or if they do move over they give a spot bearly big enough to get through a civic so i gotta honk and motion them to move over.
#3. to much is going on at once(i'm talking to dispatch, talking to my guys/giving them commands weither to airpack up, talking to officers, driving/watching for traffic, run the lights and siren, then you're trying to think what lines your gonna pull off the truck once you get to the fire, or if it's rescue what bags/gear or treatment your gonna start on the patient)
cause a with fire a someone who fell through ice is totally different than a Haz-Mat spill.
with rescue someone who complaining of chest pain different than a car wreck. so in your head you gotta be thinking ahead.

I just saw a worst driver ever. I was on my way home from work. I usually set cruise control around 70-75 because there are not much cars on freeway at night. This asshat in a Chevy Malibu going 63+/- so I flashed at him, this sucker brake checked me. I flashed again and this mofo started crawling like 40MPH. Other drivers started passing from right and honking at this mofo who suck at life. I had my hand glued on horn for like 3 minutes but this bastard won't move over/speed up. I was pissed, I wish I had a shotgun on me I would have shot him right there, 1 less idiot on earth. I end up passing him on right. /

People who just plain don't know how to FUCKING MERGE!!!! That happened to me today....

For some reason there was a HUGE crowd of geriatrics walking to and getting out of the parking garage that I was in (lucky me) so it took forfuckingever to get out to the freeway. I had to get into the only-lane to get on the ramp to go home but the worst part was some old hag in a Forester would NOT let me get into the lane even though I had my signal on for ~9-10 seconds.... I flicked it on while I was a car length behind them, then when I was BARELY a car ahead of them they wouldn't budge! I kept tapping my throttle and starting to edge close to their side of the lane but they and the person ahead of me was going slower than dog shit. I didn't want to cause an accident by cutting them off but eventually they finally yielded; because they stopped being dicks or because they finally realized I wanted to get in that lane? Who knows and who cares.... shitty drivers can blow hard.

YES!! Whenever I see a brand new car parked sideways in two spots I park sideways really close to them. I did it to this guy at my job, he's get an old Miata and he used to park like that all the time. I parked next to him and he no longer does that.

As far as the running stop signs thing, I see both rich and ghettos do that, so .

And I could care less if someone double parks as long as they're out in Timbuktu where there's absolutely no one else parking. Otherwise, it's a dick move.

I always thought double parking meant pulling up to a no parking spot on the curb and parking there. Like a loading zone or at the end of a curb in the "no parking from here to the street" zone that signs mark off.

Parking across two spots is something different where I grew up.

Well, yea, there's city double parking and then there's parking lot double parking.

Lol double parking story inc (2 slots).

I used to drive a dodge intrepid when I was in high school and I had this part time job washing dishes... anyway I had some orange parking cones and I used to park at an angle over 2 slots and take out the cones and cone off the 4 corners of my car.(It was in a 20-30% capacity lot don't worry) anyway I could watch out the window for peoples expressions when they parked near me/saw it. I saw two guys stand there looking at my car talking for a few minutes they had to be like WTF is going on here.

Anyone talking on a cell phone. Period. If they're on a cell phone, they...forgot to signal, don't pay attention to which lane they're in (or their speed), etc.... Can't wait for them to be outlawed (when UR driving). I'm all good with hands-free, after all, that's just like talking to people in the car.

There is a guy with a blue 335i at the hotel where I'm staying and he always takes up two spaces. I just want to kick a door in every time somebody does that.

That REALLY annoys me when I see something like that. Yes a 335i is an awesome car. But you don't need to take up two spaces.

He's more able to afford paint correction than me. Maybe I should park my car in 2 slots since I can't afford new paint.

I was just thinking about this this morning. I get annoyed at all the usual stuff...not knowing how to merge, leaving like 10 car lengths in front of you in bumper to bumper traffic, people that can't seem to stay in their lane, etc.


the thing that annoyed me this morning was people that smoke in their car.
1. cause i feel bad for the car, but
2. mostly cause whenever i see smoke out of the corner of my eye, I start staring at my hood, and looking at my temp gauge. I know my car shouldn't overheat. It's only like 18 months old w/ 18k miles, but I guess i've driven too many old cars in my day .

people that speed match others on a 2 lane road, if you're going slower or faster...fine, but if you drive the exact same speed as the other car next to you
i know it's not a big thing, it just pisses me off for some reason
