« on: February 04, 2010, 10:00:18 AM »
this morning i was drivin home after running a few errands in town. doing 60mph in a 55, i come up behind this slow damn car doing like 45mph. helloooooo!! the damn speed limit is 55, why would u drive 45 in a 55?  :headscratch: makes no sense! the roads wasn't covered in any snow or ice, nice clean black top paved road and they do 45 in a 55!!!! :furious....if u dont want to drive..then get the hell out my way so i can!!!

or the people that freak out when driving in the rain or snow!!!! what exactly are u afraid of if its raining a lil bit???


im from michigan and i have drove in many nasty snow storms and thunder storms, maybe this makes me feel more confident in my driving skills but some of this stuff really annoys the hell out of me. :noid

I'd rather have people driving extra slow in the snow and ice than as if nothing is there.

High school and college girls driving while talking on their cell phones are the most dangerous people on the roads.

People who don't understand that the purpose of a freeway on ramp is to allow you to get up to freeway speeds before you have to merge.

That's stuff just always happens. You always get behind a slow car when you're in a hurry, and when you're out just for a drive you know there's someone behind you in a hurry.  :D


Something that drives me nuts is when someone says "This is true". You're in a conversation and they say something, you reply "Ya, but ***********", and they say "This is true" instead of "Oh ya" or "That's true". Saying "This is true" sounds like they're holding the statement in their hands like a pet dog saying "Hi! This is true, my new pet statement!"

Don't know why that bugs me but it does.

What really gets me is when I'm driving down the road, minding my own business, and some person who thinks they own the highway system comes up behind me and rides my ass.

You see, I'm a fairly organized person who takes responsibility for my time and am not always running late to my next appointment. Sometimes I may drive 5 or 10 under the limit, because its safer, uses less gas, and in general is just more relaxing.

I've been involved in 2 serious car crashes that each almost killed me, neither was my fault. My worst nightmare is dying in a car crash, a big hot twisting heap of metal skidding along asphalt. And the thing that pisses me off the most is someone putting MY life in danger because their inability to plan their day and manage their time.

If you start doing some math you'll finding speeding just 5-10mph is simply not worth it. It doesn't save very much time at all over short distances, it uses significantly more gas, and it puts you and everyone else on the road at an increased level of danger.

So yea....  SLOW DOWN! When I see people coming up from behind fast and ride my ass, guess what I do. Slow down even more  :banana:

My biggest pet peeve has nothing to do with driving. (usually) I can't STAND it when I'm told to do something that I'm already in the midst of doing.  Particularly if it is done in a nasty tone.

I don't mid people driving 5-10 mph under the speed limit on a 2-lane rd, I have about 540hp... as soon as an opportunity presents they're a little speck in the rear view mirror. The people I have a problem with are the dolts who drive 5-10 mph below the speed limit in the LEFT HAND LANE on a 4-lane road, most of the time at the exact same speed as the car in the right hand lane that is too close to them for an overtaking car to negotiate a pass. The left lane is for PASSING, not CRUISING. We even have signs here in SC that read "slower traffic keep right" to let people know not to take up residence int he left lane. Unfortunately many can't read and the ones that can likely don't care.

At least I do know one cop who pulls people over regualrly and writes tickets to left-lane campers for "Impeding the flow of traffic."

Oh pet peeves while driving :cool: I hate what I call "creepers", when you have someone about to turn on the road your driving at 45MPH and they creep just before you have no chance to stop if they go, I know(well hope they arent going to actually go but it still creeps me out :salute
