Once a 25 meter truck almost took my side mirror away in the middle of the night...
Propably driver took a "quick sleep" on the road

If you're sleepy you're better stop and get some sleep before it's too late...

One funny fellow tried to push me out of road when he was passing the Suzuki GSX 750ef I was driving then. I followed him about 20 min because I thought I really should kick toejam out of him. I calmed down, passed his car and showed only <F>...
Another one tryed to follow 30 feet after me at 110mph... Then he realized his BMW car was too slow for the BMW K100rs I borrowed from my friend

Doesn't apply to freeways that much, as I do not have a car

1) Drivers who consider cyclists "cool bouncing objects

2) Drivers who splash water my way

3) "Honk if you love Jesus" bumper stickers. Wish I could catch that moron, but at 30mph, he is just outtta my reach

Hmm...what pisses me off more than anything on the road...

I would have to say morons who slowdown then stop on a freeway entrance ramp. They are too retarded to comprehend that it is FAR easier to merge, if you're going the same speed as the other traffic, not 50 MPH slower.

Normally I'll pass these idiots...if that's not an option I'll sometimes blare the horn. I've been known to "nudge" someone, on occasion

I'm glad my car doesn't have a crappy plastic bumper.

A close second is people who bottleneck on purpose. I make it a point not to let these people in, and to make their life as hard as possible. Funny thing about bottleneckers is, they usually get REALLY mad when they can't get in. I laugh at 'em.

Parking lot Vulchers, who block the lot waiting for someone to pull out, are also annoying as hell. Once again, a thick metal bumper comes in handy with these people.

Hey Santa

That symbol is pretty rude.

Somebody who can't even afford a car calling Christians morons...

To me that symbol is like putting a swastika or a racial comment in your signature. It's a message of hate.

I don't go out of my way to piss on your religious beliefs. Please show me the same respect.

StSanta isn't that the logo for the punk band Bad Religion? I've got a better bumper sticker that I've seen. I thought it was hilarious:
Jesus is coming...Look busy!

Or
Jesus saves, passes to Madono, he shoots, he scores!

I'm curious...what type of truck?

Alot of mine have already been covered.

1.) Pulling into a stop sign at an intersection and two vehicles from the same direction go at once.

2.) People who won't hold back when a semi trys to make a sharp turn. Gawd knows how many I have seen end up with they're trailers in the ditch because of those prettythang holes.

3.) Heavy/Wide load trucks that run like they aren't hauling anything and have no runners to warn you. I've seen passenger cars made into convertbles by those things when they are hualing a bulldozer or hoe.

4.) The stupid law in Houston that made all semi's stay in the right lane. Getting on the freeway is so much fun when there is an endless lane of trucks. Getting off the freeway is even funner squeezing between trucks.

5.) People who don't realize in a head-on duel between a dinking cheapo passenger car and a truck like mine, they ain't gonna win. Same with semi's and passenger buses. Those damn Geo Metro drivers are suicidal.

And funked...The only car/trucks I can't out run/out accelerate with my Bronco are muscle cars/sports cars and the Ford SVD Lightning

I couldn't light up the 44" tires I use to have, but I went to 35" Interco Thornbirds (I don't go into that deep crap much anymore and the 35"s ride alot better on the highway) and I can smoke all 4 in 4 wheel drive. Doing that at a stop light is pretty sufficent to scare anyone from trying to race me anyway

We have speed limiters in trucks and "18-26 Wheelers" which kinda pisses me (and some others too) off...
We have somekind of hills here and when trucks used to grab some speed (~70mph) before the hill to climb it fast now the limiter stops accelerating at 60mph. When trying to go up the hill speed reduces to 40mph and the people are happy again...

Superfly:

Aye, it's Bad Religion alright. That band kicks bellybutton

.

funked, see other thread for apology.

Go ahead and trash my belief all you want; will be hard, since I lack one

Freedom of religion *includes* freedom *from* religion, and that's one of the messages one can read into the pic. Once again, no harm intended, was meant as a little troll to be worthy of a snicker, little more.

I believe I've explained myself in the other thread; it was intended as fun, but I apparently misjudged something. Went over the line with some folks.

I can't afford a car. Intelligence and personal wealth are thankfully enough not necessarily related.

Now, any IDIOT who posts "honk if you love [insert anything here] on his car is a MORON. Horns are pretty scary things when you're on a bike. I *hate* people who just honk for no good reason. I hate morons who encourage it. In tight traffic, if you fall, you can get seriously injured and horns are one of those things that startle me. Once my personal safety is at stake, the fun is over for my part and I get aggressive.

So belittle me for being poor; I shall not mind. Soon enough, I'll drive a bigass gasoline sucking car and irritate the hell out of everyone I meet, by doing all the things mentioned here

Just living up to my nick here.

Santa apology accepted.

Jigster you might beat me 0-30 mph with that stump puller but I doubt it has much oomph between say 85 mph and 130 mph.

But you penile extension errr truck drivers have pretty good lists. So I will amend the first item on my list to apply only when the truck driver is in violation of items 2-10.

WTG, Rip. Something we can all agree on

God, I hate driving. It used to be more fun when I rode sportbikes, but now I'm a dad

You guys have pretty much nailed the things that send my blood pressure soaring behind the wheel, so instead I'll recall a story.

I was on the bus, coming home from work one day. The bus I was on was one of those large, articulated types, so it took up a bit of road, maybe 3 car lengths. I was sitting next to the window on the left side, and we were slowing down due to the traffic light changing from green to yellow. We were in the leftmost lane. Suddenly, from my left I see a car come blazing from behind, passing us while in the opposing traffic's left lane! As soon as he gets into the intersection this crazed human being darts back into the right-hand lane, and continues on his maniacal way, just beating the light. I just sat there, slowly taking in what that idiot just did.

Motorcycles baby! Oh yeah.

Or a my sister prefers to call them (despite saving up for one) "carriers of future organ donors"

Merging onto the freeway with someone in front of me doing 30 MPH when the cars raging past at 70 MPH! And all it would take is just a little more pressure on the gas pedal for cryin out loud!

I saw some funny bumper stickers the other day...... " Maybe you would drive better if I shoved that cell phone up your ass!" and "Over a billion sperm, and you were the fastest?"
