yesterday i was on the interstate doing 80mph in the left lane when a guy comes up behind me and starts RIDING MY bellybutton so i pull into the right lane to let him pass. After igot off to get gas i go back on the interstate and catch up to the same guy how is still in the left lane doing 65mph :mad:
-
Doing 80 in a 65? Sounds like you're both bad drivers to me.. ;)
-
Flashing the hazards (once) and stepping on the gas usually creates separation :devil
The tailing car reacts to what seems to be brake lights while you, however, have mashed it to the floor. :aok
Downshifting (if you have a manual trans) wakes them up pretty quick, also

To what address shall I send your newly minted DMV halo? :P
-
Ive found during daylight driving if you simultaneously flip on the headlights/tail lights and slightly wiggle your stearing wheel they usually jam their brakes since they think you just jammed yours......... funny watching how fast you pull away from them then
-
A recent survey in my country showed that 94% of all drivers thought they were better drivers than the average...

Your old enough to drive?

if it's a 3 lane interstate, i never ride the left lane. i like the extra options of bing in the middle lane. it also seems to me that state troopers are less likely to notice me in the middle, as opposed to the left.
on the other hand...........the dude was just a tard. if i'm coming up on slower moving traffic, and they haven't moved by the time i'm within 5 cars of em, i'm already in the next lane going by em.
-
Ehhh, my pet peeve is drivers who drive too slowly in the left hand lane, oblivious to whatever is behind them. Really, folks, the left hand lane is for passing. If you're not passing, switch a lane to the right.
General rule of thumb seems to be: everyone who drives slower than you is a jerk, and everyone who drives faster is an a-hole. :rolleyes:
-
In that situation, I usually keep ahead of the guy until I get even with somebody in the next lane over, then match their speed. At that point, I pointedly look in the rear view mirror, smile a big smile, and just sit there. It never fails to amuse!
-
I think deep down inside, everyone thinks they are a good driver.
-
The guys I hate are the ones who come flying up behind you and, even though you're already doing above the speed limit as it is, get pissed because you won't speed up even more for them so they start riding your bumper. Then they finally tire of that game after you flash your lights at them a couple times, so pass you in the other lane, pull in front and then SLAM THEIR BRAKES.
Yeah, if I hit you as a result, guess whose insurance is footing the bill, love muffin?

But I am...and my insurance company reminds me all the time. :D

Those are the fun ones in my area...because I know exactly where they're gonna get stuck in traffic and I'll get my revenge...or the nice state trooper is hiding in his usual spot...just waiting to write a ticket to the moron. :D
-
if i am driving fast and someone comes up behind me i let them pass, that way if there is a cop ahead he will catch them not me, they are my rabbit to spring the trap.
run forrest run. :lol
-
I hate those people who think the left hand lane is thier personal highway space. I tend to drive fast so GET OUT OF MY WAY IDIOT! I have so many pet-peeves about driving HTC will run out of bandwidth. Another thing that bugs me is people waving you you through on 4 way stops. If it's your turn GO! Oh and I am a good driver!

Sorry to say but iut seems you are just as bad a driver as him

me?
i cruise at the same speeds i did 25 years ago.......between 75 and 80mph. back then, i was passing 90% of the traffic. now 70% or so are passing me when i'm at those speeds.
and yes, i am a good driver. i know exactly what my car can and cannot do, and in most conditions. i've become good at predicting other drivers...which has helped me avoid numerous accidents.
i've had no moving violations since i was 22 years old. i'm 47 now.
i've had no accidents that were in any way my fault since i was 20.
the one i did have was the lady that crossed the center line and nailed me head on, totaling my mustang. i almost managed to make her miss..........but i wasn't quite quick enough that time.
both insurance companies placed 100% blame on her.

I used to brake check them ... Although that usually will insite roadrage to some degree
I have found it more amusing to give them a good dousing of windshield wiper fluid.
innoncent enough and usually gets them to back off.

You want bad drivers... come to Columbia SC.... Thats where there are bad drivers!
Example:
I am going through an intersection downtown, there are 3 lanes. One designated left turn only, 1 straight only, 1 right/straight.
I am in the middle lane, a truck in the left lane decides he wants to turn right... IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. He starts pulling right and I lay on the horn so he doesn't hit me, he stops completely then turns left.
No one in this state knows how to use a turn signal! And when they remember to use it, they forget to turn it off!
The other day I was driving and 2 cars in the right lane have their turn signal on. They have a car between them, and since I am in the left lane I am able to see both of them. They drive like that for 15 minutes.
I will stop before I REALLY start venting about drivers down here.
-
Two things really give me the chits on the road;
1) People who seem to be able to manage only one speed. The can't seem to manage 80km/h in an 80 zone.... So I have to overtake, if I can, and extend a gesture of my frustration. THEN, a kilometre further down, the speed limit drops to 60 and they fly on by.
2) People who take a lifetime to get up to the speed limit (probably because they're tight-fisted cheap-skates even with their stupid little lawnmower cars) and then just keep on going right past the limit. Not only are you an annoying cheapa**, you're breaking the law. Some of snotty little matchbox car drivers have the hide to look at me like I'm the a-hole because I don't take a week to get to the speed limit.
I have a long list of annoyances, so I might add more later....
-
want annoying?
try getting behind the nutball that actually puts on the brakes on the on-ramp to the interstate.
i had a guy actually STOPPED at the bottom of the ramp. so here he is in hischevy tahoe with a 6 cylinder, and me in my geo, that does 0 to 60 in the time it takes to eat dinner......trying to merge traffic passing us at 75mph, and we're doing it from a stand still. :mad: :mad:
-

Just did. Passing Porsche and Corvette on the straight line in the Probe doesn't make you good,it makes them terrible.

That not good driving my friend that just being lucky. Unless you managed to outrun police trying to give you speeding ticket all these years

I hate the people that wait until the last 10 feet to merge lanes on the highway when there have been signs that the lane ends for 2 miles. They think they're so smart waiting and passing everyone in line until I don't let them merge in :) . Same thing goes for people who use the left or right turn only lanes to pass by the line of cars going straight. I had one jerk try to get by me doing this but my 5.4 V8 got me ahead of him so he got POed and started honking and flipped me off. I laughed and intentionally drove 20 in a 40.
Another thing I hate is people who cant pick a freaking lane in stop and go traffic. They slow down the flow more by changing lanes every 30 feet.
People who slow down to look at crashes on the other side of the road really grind my gears. Last year i was driving back to college in maine on in a heavy rain/sleet/snow mix. I was doing 35 in a 65 due to the weather and most people were going a bit faster than me (45 at max). I saw some cars collide on the other side of the median out of the corner of my eye. apparently the moron Rhode Islander (statistically the worst drivers in the US) in front of me saw it too and slammed on the brakes almost stopping in the middle of the road. Luckily I left an enormous space between our cars and was barely able to slow down enough to aviid this idiot after skidding through the slush for a very long distance.
And one more note...

Guys try what tokenjo said if you squirt them with winsheild wiper fluid they usually do back off. If not slow down wayyyyy slow then when they go to pass speed up, rinse and repeat. If this really angers them flash an uzi out the window and let them know whos boss

What happend to just change lane and let them pass?
-

good driving doesn't necessarily mean driving slow. it means being able to judge what my car can and cannot do, and taking into account the traffic, and road conditions, and my state of health at that point in time.
when i don't feel well, i drive slower. i don't weave lanes. i don't tailgate.
it's also knowing where the police tend to hide, and/or spotting them before they spot me. and of course there's the fact, that as long as i'm only doing 75 or so, they'll not go for me when there's better tickets to be written on the guys doin 90.
-

Unfortunately Sax your company would be flipping the bill. You will be blamed for hitting them in the back and not having control of your car. I know it ain't right, but that is what would most likely happen in that situation.
-

This goes back to the original problem - most people are completely retarded behind the wheel, but believe that they are good drivers. They squeak that someone isn't driving courteously, so they do something even dumber to lash out at that amazinhunk who thought he could just pass them while in the passing lane. If the BMV ever tests for intelligence or courtesy... going to be a lot of empty roads and cars for sale.

Isn't that 65 a minimum? :huh
-
I'll be the first to tell you I'm not a great driver, but I've become better.
What scares the heck out of me are the crazy drivers with a death wish zooming by my mini-van with my wife and kids in it.
... man the o-club is bringing me down tonight. :confused:
-
I hate all drivers.

Doing 85 will give you less time to react, you not 25 anymore. To be a good driver doesn't necessary mean free of moving violation it is also to be able to prevent an accident. If some moron suddenly merges and slams brakes in front of you it doesn't matter what police report say, it could have been avoided by going slower.
Belive me you are lucky, lets pray to God it stays that way:)
-
Sounds like exactly what happened to me, except I brake checked him and he was literally 2 inches away from hitting me, HE GOT POed OFF tHE WALL. He went in the other lane, looked at me, gave me the good ol' bird and sped off. I was going 75 he must have been going 90 easily. Anyways we come to a bend in the interstate and hes all the way out of my veiw due to the curve, well I look to my right and I see a black and white going probably triple digits down the feeder, hits the on ramp and dissappears. Guess who I saw pulled over after the curve ended ;)
I smiled my entire way to work then. :)

correct, i'm not 25 anymore. this is part of what decides my following distances when i'm driving. (and to be a good driver doesn't mean to drive slow either BTW :aok )
my head is always on the swivel. there's not much that i don't see before or as it starts to happen. i don't ride the right lane, so worrying about merging people is a non issue, although i'm always watching the ramps as i approach, and pass them.
i don't watch the car right in front of me. i'm watching as far down the road as i can see. if i watched the car in front, i can't really legitimatly see anything beyond him. by watching as far down the road as i can see, i am able to see and register things that're happening closer to me.
30 years driving, learning to adapt to different conditions(including my age), learnign to adapt to people that have no clue what their car can do(or will do in an emergency).
and believe me, in the PRNJ we eventually get most weather conditions. i've driven my 89 mustang gt in 2 feet of snow. i was driving a 26k pound tow truck in 96 when we had that blizzard in south jersey. was driving a tow truck in the 03 blizzard too.
i've driven in rain so hard it was hard to see much past the hood.
i've NEVER been a "passenger behind the wheel" as a good 80% to 90% of the drivers on the road are.
so....while there IS luck involved(it is for ALL of us) there is much much more ability involved than you seem to think.

when i drive to florida, i tend to check the on ramps as i approach them. down south, at night, especially in the carolinas, and gerogia, police like to sit about 1/2 way up them. most people are busy being drones, or looking in the center for police.....so they getcha.
