Thread: What annoys you about other people's driving?

  1. #1

    Default What annoys you about other people's driving?

    For me, the most annoying thing about other people'e driving is when they drive really slowly. If they're learning then I can understand, but take this for example.

    I was driving down a road with only a few corners, but too many to overtake. The speed limit is 60 mph. The car in front of me was doing 20 (!). The reasons for this became apparent when he turned right and I could see him. He had his right arm hanging out of the window, holding a cigarette, the other hand was on the wheel. Obviously he couldn't go any faster without changing gear, so instead of dropping his cigarette, he decided he'd stay within the limits of second gear. That really annoyed me. I saw the same car again later that day, but this time he was doing about 45 in a 30 limit. Idiot.

    I also get annoyed by people getting in the wrong lane at roundabouts and cutting me up. If you want to turn left, don't get in the right-hand lane!

    So, what, if anything, annoys you about other people's driving?

    Seriously, my parents are always complaining about my brother's driving abilities. It's starting to piss me off! But, yeah...I'd rather have someone else drive me though. Why drive yourself when someone else can do it for you.

    My family critise each others driving all the time, its horrid. Some drive fast, others drive slow. What annoys me is the relatives who are driving in the middle of nowhere and ask you where they are ... Oh Im sorry, I never realised I was a Satnav, would have made my life much easier.

    A lot of people annoy me out on the road.

    Non use of turn signals is definitely one of the biggest annoyances. It is so easy to reach over and hit that lever. In fact, if you do it all the time, it just becomes a reflex, like blinking! You don't even think about it! I can't stand people that don't.

    Driving slowly bothers me, but I understand if it is because they aren't comfortable going any faster (as might be the case with someone just learning or someone very old.) I try to be patient.

    I really hate it when someone drives slow and takes up both lanes at the same time. How are you supposed to get around them? Pick a lane already!

    I don't drive yet, but I already get annoyed at the way people drive.

    I'm with RSL on this one! Also, something else that really irritates me is when people drive really closely behind you to the point where they're nearly touching you.

    I don't like it when people pull out in front of you when it's your right of way aswell.

    Everything. I prefer to sleep when someone else is driving, so I don't criticize them to death. Some of my biggest fights with my girlfriend take place in the truck.

    People who leave their blinkers on but, never turn.
    People who can't seem to read the MPH sign and go slooow.
    People who tailgate when it can't be helped because the person in front is going slow.
    People who cut you off.
    People who are in such a hurry that they go so far forward in the left turn lane that they go to far and don't hit the signal.
    People who stay to far back from the left turn lane that they don't hit the signal.
    And a lot of other things that I can't think of now.

    I can't drive, so I can complain about everybody else doing it. 'You're destroying the Earth! It'll have it's vengence! Didn't you watch Shaman King?!'
    I can do it because there's no guilt on me... for the next few years. And I'm a student, so I can complain about everything.

    I hate hate hate hate hate it when people leave their turn signals on long after they've turned. Or even worse when they have their turn signal on but never end up turning. Arrgghh!

    This bugs me as well, which is why I'm ashamed to admit I've done this before. One of the trucks at work doesn't always click off after you turn, and for some reason, you can't really hear the turn signal like you can in most vehicles. I noticed one day that I had been driving for probably ten miles with the turn signal on. I felt like such an idiot!

    Not using turn signals when they change lanes and then they cut right in front of you and force you to slam on your breaks >_> *insert profanities* :</>D

    I don't like driving, though. ^^ I get my boy to drive >:</>D

    Sometimes I drive slow because I feel like it.

    Therefore, I get a lot of people tailgating me.

    I was going about 30 or 35 in a 55mph zone, and there was this lady in a green car behind me xD She was getting so mad xD I slowed down another 5 mph and she got fed up got in the turning lane and went ahead (which is illegal :])

    Then there was an old grandma (litrly) on the interstate yesterday on the way to work. Everyone else had sped on around her, but she wasn't going too much slower than I was comfortable with, besides we were almost to the exit.

    Then she put on her turn signal. As though she were turning left.

    Some of your may not be familiar with how an interstate works, but you always turn right to get off.
    xD

    I get irritated with people not driving the speed limit, either too fast or too slow ( @allie )

    And the lack of using turn signals.

    And riding up on my tail when I'm doing the speed limit.

    And obnoxiously large trucks with no muffler and raised up high that the redneck hick farmers always drive and do farmer stops and drive in the middle of the road and all around are a danger to everyone else they share the road with. I really hate them.
