LOL Swoop!

I'd say my list of things that piss me off on the highway can be summed up in one word:

I found another one!!!!!

People who STOP on the damn on-ramp!!!!! Just got back from paying a few bills and this little 16 year-old with a make-up problem STOPPED on the damn ramp! 15 feet from actually getting on the freakin highway and this Britany Spears wanna-be hit the gawd-danged BRAKES!!! I seriously considered just flooring it and leaving tire-tracks across the roof of her car!

Then I found something SOB said and thought "Where's Animal when I NEED the idiot!!!???"

 I used to think we had more of our share of bad drivers here but after my trip to dominican republic I am thankfull I dont have to drive there. The tour bus drivers exp are freaking retarded!
 
  My biggest peave is the guy way up in front of 15 cars in front of me holding everyone up. IM not sure who annoys me more the guy in front or the buy  behind him who wont pass.

would never happen if people in the fast lane would yield to faster traffic as they do on the autobahn. americans are too proud.

I'm going to bite on this one and add:

1 - Just because there's a big gap doesn't mean you can safely fill it.

2 - If it's raining, *especially* after a long hot day, **slow down**.

3 - Lights are there not only so that you can see but also so that you can be seen.

4 - Wear your seatbelt.

I ride sportsbikes and I lost count of the times idiots tried to kill me on the roads.

Gotta say the people that peeve me the most are the idiots who think they are the only ones with the right to be on the road.  They are the jerks with the windows up, radio blaring and mobile phone against the ear.  These people also have never used the rear view mirror (except to check hair/makeup) and don't know the concept of looking where you are going.  "Blindspots" to them are the things old people get and they feel they must wait until the last possible moment before pulling out from a side street, then wait a couple of seconds more, then pull out and make you jump hard onto the brakes.


Oh and I agree with just about everything everyone else said...  Except the speeding bits.  Speeding is dumb (but fun I know) because the other idiots on the road don't know how to look out for you.

My top two driving nightmares:

1.  Women who think it's ok to sleep in that extra hour and put their freaking make-up on in the car.

2.  People who drive panzers and blow my prettythang up every time I try to take a Sunday drive in my Ostwind, and then have the nerve to post in the O Club about bad driving  .

1)White Hairs. (people with white hair that pull out in front of you then drive 10mph under the speed limit. Or the ones who see a yard sale and have to park in the middle of the road so they can get there faster.)

2)The Color Blind. (people who think red means go)

3)Tailgaters. (people who like to test their brakes)

4)Kieren and my wife.(People who think stop signs are a suggestion or that you have to understand the TRUE reason for a stop sign.)

5)Chest Thumpers. (Those dimwits that think everyone in a 2 block radius wants him to perform CPR on them with his speakers.)

6)Blue Hairs. (Like white hairs but have transformed to the next level. They are normally to short to see over the steering wheel and will only go 10mph no matter what.)
I have been reborn a new man!

Notice I never said a better man.

speed doesn't kill you, the idiot driving the car does.

i remember a time a few years ago,i was on my way home from work on the 40, in that part of montreal it's 3 lanes in each direction. i was in the middle lane doing about 110 kph(100 is the limit).there was an onramp coming up and a car was getting ready to merge, i didn't think much of it, it was 12:15 at night and there was absolutely no traffic. i figured the car would stay in the far right lane to pick up some speed(like most people with a brain do) but nope!.right from the onramp to the middle lane, i did an emergency stop and by the time i scrubbed off enough speed to avoid hitting the car i looked at my speedo and i was doing 50 kph(minimum legal speed on the highway here is 60) there was about 5 feet of space between our cars.
i moved over to the left and speed up a bit to get beside the car,some middle aged women with her hands welded on the 10 and 2.
i was there for about 2 minutes before she noticed me...
people like that scare the hell out of me..
i don't want to know what would have happened if she did that at 12 in the afternoon instead...<shudders>
