Highway Driving, Pet Peeves Options

[WannabeGT4]

Last I knew, on ramps were for accelerating so that you can merge. Did I miss a chapter in my drivers handbook that says otherwise?

Any other pet peeves pertaining to traffic?

[jgreening]

tail gaters

people that go past you on the shoulder when you are in a traffic jam and then try to nudge their nose in

fat girls in small cars that eat when they drive

Soccer moms that have the minivan and the soccer ball logo but never pay attention to the rules of the road

These are some things that make me want to get a gun.

tail gaters

I love toying with tail gaters. Just slow down and flip on your turn signal but don't change lanes until they start to. The satisfaction I get from that pretty much evens out the rage caused by tail gaiting.

people that go past you on the shoulder when you are in a traffic jam and then try to nudge their nose in

What's a traffic jam? LOL sorry, our highway system has actually grown with the population unlike a lot of other cities.

fat girls in small cars that eat when they drive

LOL It's not like the fat in their second chin can't sustain them until they can find a place to pull over and eat.

These are some things that make me want to get a gun.

The world is probably safer because I don't have one in the car.

when the speed limit is x and people STAY in fast lane going x or x+2.... Then I come up behind them and have to get in the slow lane to go around (i know it's illegal) because they will NOT move over.... Semi drivers who see a line of cars coming up and then try to pass a semi going MAYBE one mpg faster and it takes like 400 years for them to pass

Last I knew, on ramps were for accelerating

Oh man that one gets me, people go like 40 till they mirge onto the freeway, I mob up the ramp. one place its totaly legal to accelerate quickly.

People in mini vans or large passenger cars passing me at 80+ with there kids in the back. I dont care if they wana speed but think of you damn kids lives for a change.

the guy I use to carpool with was one of thoes, speed by the long line of cars waiting for the offramp and slide in at the last possible min, its people like that, that cause the line up because then everyone else has to hit the breaks and wait.

Tail gater

I hate em, horrible people just looking to cuase a crash, or just cant think more then 2 feet infront of em. always makes me drive slower and I cant help but think of slaming the breaks on em then poping the clutch and launching just to scare em out of that habit

when the speed limit is x and people STAY in fast lane going x or x+2

eh, I have done that a few times, if im in a high cop area I'll slow down and be right on the limit and people will come up behind me and tail gate for a while, technicly its not iligal if your going the speed limit, and not blocking 5 or more cars.

i hate when you are on the freeway in the slow lane going around the speed limit and have so slow down because some idiot only accelerated to 40 on the on ramp

and i hate when people speed up, cut you off, and then slow down either because they are going to turn or because they are just pricks. if you cut someone off you need to make sure that you are going to at least go faster than them

[devilsden97]

Slow people...period

[Jen]

this doesnt pertain to highways.. but.. people who pull out in front of you and go like 15 mph.. so you have to slam on the brakes to slow down.

[devilsden97]

oh i thought of another,


Women....


(let the flaming comence)







(For all those who dont understand, im joking)

[playr158]

i really hate when celica owners almost run into your rear bumper during meets (on video by the way)

tailgaters defenitly
slow people in the fast lane
people who BRAKE while merging onto a highway...while still 30mph under the speed limit

[devilsden97]

I was waiting for that one...lol
(this is a chance for fred to post it)


I HAte state troopers the pull u over for 55mph in a 40....

[vangSTa_celica]

Hahahahaha. That was hilarious.

I hate old people. Thats the scariest/worst thing ever.

Gawd I'm sorrrrrry i get hungry.

[Blakout16]

i think congress should start looking into the accidents relating to older people to teenagers. i mean yes, i admit im not even a good driver but i've seen old people that are just TERRIBLE. alot of them too, i hardly see a terrible teen driver, atleast we can see 10 feet infront of us :-/

[Jen]

State troopers are always so mean to me. And I'm so nice to themmmm! I don't get it. The local police here are always really nice, at least the ones who have pulled me over. State troopers always seem to be in a really grumpy mood. And they try to get you for everything like.. a $90 "modified exhaust" ticket. If I was a cop I'd be nice. Just because you have authority doesn't give them the right to be mean. :\

All 3 of my tickets have been from state troopers! Cept one which was a "fix it ticket" from the local police.

I don't like people in a hurry. Take your time with your drive. When people start jumping in and out of traffic, they're just asking for trouble. Sometimes my friends yell at me and tell me, "You could have went, why didn't you go?" I've never had a wreck, and they all have. I hope to never even be envolved in a wreck, unless on the track. I don't want to be in a wreck on the track, I just think that's okay. Oh, and people who don't follow regulation traffic laws. I'm really particular about the law. lol, this coming from a guy without a catilatic converter.

[amysmojo]

Drivers that speed past you, cut you off & take the same exit your taking & when you look in ur rear view mirror NO OTHER CaRS are around & your like WTF mate why not just get behind me mother trucker!!!?

Has anyone ever noticed that the slow drivers are usually picking their nose? hahaha I saw a guy once using a Q-tip!!..He had it JAMMED up in there pretty good....

ooooh I thought of another....it pisses me off when people dont use their blinkers. And I hate when someone is turning & they dont use their blinker till 1/2 way into the turn...

And I hate when you have to wait for someone to cross the street & they are walking slower than a frikin sloth. I dunno about you guys but when I am crossing the street & I see cars waiting on me...I hurry it up for them! lol

sooooooooo you hate (some) male drivers too

[95CelicaST]

Yes I hate male drivers, but I hate women drivers for their stereotypical mistakes.

i.e not watching the road, messing with radio, talking on the phone, not looking at the lanes around them when they want to make a lane change, ect. (Not saying guys don't do this either, but I see more women F*cking up with it than guys)
