Among other things: when you're on a street which has two lanes in one direction that, due to construction or similar, merge into one. I don't hate that, but I hate it when people wait until the latest possible time (directly in front of the construction) to merge in, despite that they saw one of these things from ten miles down the road:

I was run into another lane today by an idiot from Arizona who cut in front of me (despite my not letting him in for the very reason stated above). I leaned on my horn, but he didn't even look at me.

Well that's what I hate.
 
That's what i hate too.

Sometimes, when i don't let them merge in front of me, they have the nerve to get pissed at me. So they are horning at me for not letting them in.

Idiots, all of 'em.

I know - as if it's my duty to let them in because they were too stupid to get in before. :rolleyes:

A good friend of mine tours the country going to police academies teaching that very technique (pursuit intervention maneuver). But I was going two miles an hour, and in a much smaller car, so it wouldn't have worked.
 
that blows.....my dad hates it when he is going down the freeway with teh kart trailier..an dpeople try to get on going like 30 so my dad has to slow down or they eat wall i hate that **** :irked:
 
I don't like that either. I read, I merge. They are trying to "bogart" their way in and make up time. I will often let in one. But the second guy has to come in behind me somewhere. If on the freeway I have been known to drive just far enough over the line to be impossible for those jerks to pass.

Gee - I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about, there... :D

That does drive me nuts - and just about everyone in Sydney does it - it's cut-in central here. If there's a sniff of a car length gap in heavy traffic here, there'll be a car in there (usually a Hyundai with a spotty 19 yo girl behind the wheel) in about a second.
 
ykno what you should have done? lean on the horn... and just stay there.. make em look bad....
if ya can't kick em out, make em look bad.. =)
 
I hate it when people travel at 80km/h on the highway, and as soon as you get to a passing lane they speed up to 120km/h.

My dad clocked 145km/h passing some git in a Hyundai once, pretty good considering we had 4 people in the car, going around a corner, and driving a Ford.
 
I hate it when people don't bother to look for oncoming traffic before they turn thus cutting others off.

I was traveling to school one morning and out of no where this stupid blue aztek/rendezvous pulls out in front of me thus making me slam on my brakes to avoid hitting them. I almost honked at them but thought better of it.

**** happens. Get over it.
 
Do what I do and get in the lane that's closing but only go as fast as the lane that everybody has to get into. The people you are next to, 95% of the time, will undestand and keep a spot open for you when the lane ends. It's amazing how much faster you;ll got through, too, because you've eliminated all those assholes; they're all behind you.

I hate that too. And, I hate it when other road users let them in!

It's always Vectras in this country.

Eric - the picture's funny as hell. I have seen people (especially semi-truck drivers on the side of another semi-truck) do that in the past and it cracks me up. When the situation arises again, I'll be sure to give it a shot.

Dunno. I choose who I honk at. Anybody in a newer GM minivan is easily grounds for honking, since they're least likely to pull out a crowbar and do a number on my face. I think twice before honking at large 1970's Oldsmobile products.

I do that too, a trick I picked up from watching truckers do it.

I had satisfaction against a jackass who did that to me the other day, though. He was driving a huge Ford diesel duallie pickup and was all tough looking. He shoved his way in front of me at a lineup, and got out all pissy and making fists when I gave him 30 seconds on the horn.

Traffic wasn't moving, and I had a slight tailwind, so I smiled at him, popped the emergency brake on, and gave him about 5,000 miles worth of rubber smoke off of my front tires. All the windows on his truck were open too...

The ones that have 25 wheels in the rear?
 
Well, a pair of tires at each end of one rear axle. The ones for poseurs who need an even bigger penis replacement than the ones who drive regular "dude trucks" so they can look tough.

Why anybody needs a truck like that is beyond me. Why anybody needs a truck like that - in Delaware - causes me to wake up some nights in a cold sweat.
 
My brother-in-law talks about wanting a dualie. When youask him why he says "because they're big." Next thing you know guys will be driving around dump trucks.
 
NOTE (before somebody blows a gasket): I have no beef with people who actually use trucks for their intended purpose, such as hauling big stuff or towing things.

If you bought the truck because you actually needed it, you're not a poseur. If you found some reason to need it so you could buy one, you are a poseur.
 
The cutting off that heppens in construction zones.

Living here near "Bad Traffic Central" I see this happen on a daily basis (somewhere right now, a Boston driver is cutting another one off). It's almost a way of life here. To the point, where everybody expects everybody to do that. No ill will, it's just a way of life.

Now it really gets me heated when I see an out of state plate doing the "Proper" driving. Just because two lanes are merging, doesn't mean it has to. Seriously. This Guy with Alabama plates was swerving 4-5 feet in both directions, because two lanes were merging into one. Little did he know, that it returned to 2 lanes a 1/4 mile up the road. So of course, people were using the breakdown lane.

And I was the polite person when I honked at him. The four other drivers around him were less courteous.

Oh, you poor misinformed child! :p j/k

Yup, assholes suck. Don't take that literally.

What I also hate is how when a lane opens up into two lanes, some people will straddle the line. Or, better yet, when you're in like an industrial center where the road is big enough for two cars but there's no divider line, and the car in front of you keeps in the exact middle.
 
I have never been party to pissing off an idiot in a truck. But I'd love to see his reaction when the dude in the itty bitty Escort turns out to be an equally pissed off 285 pound Black man with a brand new no. 10 Can of Whoop Ass.:lol:
I personally would NEVER by an open bed Pick-up. I would find out just how many friends I had when it was time for them to move.:lol:
 
All the people that do that have forgotten the "7 P's"

Yes, idiot drivers, you must plan ahead to get ahead.
