re: Crap that drives you crazy while on the road.

Had someone try to do this to me while me and 2 other cars were all following each other, at a cars length, while trying to pass several 18 wheelers. Jackass tried to squeeze in front of me before almost hitting the 18 wheeler in the right lane. I sped up a bit to prevent this, then eased back off the car's bumper in front of me once the 18 wheeler was on my side.
Jackass squeezed in behind me and began to tailgate dangerously close considering he could clearly see there was no where to go. I pumped my brakes and scared the shite out of him. He must've slammed on his brakes, lost control and ended up in the median.
I don't understand driving like that. As soon as I passed the 18 wheelers, I would have gotten over and let the jackass go ahead.

People who don’t use their turn signal at all or people who don’t use it properly.
An example of not using it properly that makes me just shake my head at their ignorance is when someone is driving along, then puts their brakes on to turn, then when they are slowed down enough to make their turn, THEN they turn on the turning signal. I’m like, why even bother turning it on now since you have already slowed down and are halfway through your turn. I already know you are turning.
The whole point of the turning signal is to let others know you are about to turn. It’s useless to turn it on after the fact.

Driving slower than traffic in any lane not the far right
Driving excessively slow when there is rain/snow/etc. If you are only comfortable going 10 MPH when the road gets wet just stay the frick home.

People that switch from left lane to right lane, when coming to a red light...because there is a car or two ahead of them....and then they block cars that could have turned right at the light, But hey ...it was important that they get 20 ft closer to their destination

People who think they’re being nice by stopping to let someone in the opposite direction make a left turn in front of them. They’re holding up all the cars behind them. So instead of one person waiting (the person turning left), a line of people behind the stopper have to wait.

I've got one even better:
People who slow down to a crawl (or stop) on the interstate to let people merge in (who are usually also going slow).
Yes, it happens. I've seen in several times here on I-20.

Careful baw. Just last week I got a ticket for "following too close" from an Ala Trooper. I was coming off the Dauphin Island bridge headed north and some dude in a undersized datsun was pulling an oversized trailer about 25mph in a 55. I came up on him pretty quick and stayed about a car length off him for about a minute. See a state trooper in my rearview and he pulls me over while I'm still doing 25mph behind the datsun. Yep, $189 for following a car length behind someone going 25.

A few weeks ago some dude was tailgating me on I-10. I was going 80 in the center lane.

People who don't maintain a fairly consistent speed on the interstate.
It drives me insane when I have my cruise control on and I pass someone and then they pass me a few minutes later. Lather, rinse and repeat for miles and miles. I'm going the same speed jackass.

Amen. I hate passing in front of these people bc if they change their mind and accelerate and hit me I’d be the at-fault driver bc I was crossing in front of them in a travel lane. I wish they’d just follow the traffic laws. More times than not we’d both get to our destination faster.

When you're merging onto the interstate and the guy behind you cuts out across the paint and gets into traffic before you're supposed to to try to go around you.

Not using a signal when turning onto the road I'm waiting on... or waiting to use your signal until your wheel is already turned.

When you get on the highway and its a single lane road and you get behind a tractor. Especially wide ones where you can't really see around it easily to pass and you end up with like a mile of cars all waiting to pass it.

A certain demographic (women) do not have the ability to operate their cruise control while texting in the left hand lane.

That's a dickhead tractor owner. Most times when I'm driving on rural roads around here and that happens, the tractor or whatnot will pull over and let cars pass if too many get behind them.

That's 4 minutes and 30 seconds too long. If you're in the left lane, you better be passing or get your arse in the right hand (and correct) lane.
