Annoying drivers

Post by Wino you know »

This question was asked on the Clinton News Network (C.N.N.) web site, and I was curious to see what people here had to say about it.
OF THESE CHOICES, which type of driver annoys you most?

Get off the phone, get out of the left lane, or I will tailgate your slow moving behind!

None of the above.

Drunk drivers are my #1 then road ragers are #2.

The worst: the lunatics who speed and swerve all over the road, back and forth between lanes....they are jerks on rye.

Turn signals should be optional equipment for most. If you're not going to use them, why pay for them?

If someone comes up on my tail, especially the yo-yos who flash thier brights at you, the first thing I do is check my speedometer. If I'm already over the limit, I slow down. after all, maybe they're flashing their brights to let me know there's a cop around. :lol:

Can't tell you how many times I saw someone make a stupid move because they weren't paying attention to traffic while talking on the phone! :x I also love the drivers who pull out in front of me and practically stop moving. :evil:

I always give tailgaters a warning that I'm about to slow down and turn, but I use my e-break to rapidly slow down first, before actually pressing the brake. If they want to be that close to me, fine let em.

(It feels weird calling tailgaters annoying here) :lol:

It's illegal to use a hand held cell phone while you're driving in NY. I wish they'd start to enforce the law, it would be a cash cow for the state.

Since I was forced to pick only one, I went with tailgater.

I can deal with slowpokes (I just tailgate them until they speed up).

I can deal with cell phone users (I just tailgate them until they get annoyed and get off the phone).

So, yeah, I have to say tailgaters annoy me the most.

I went with slowpokes, specifically one in the left lane with no comprehension of what the speed limit is, but I'd like to give an honorable mention to every numbskull who has spent their entire life in New England, yet drives like it's the end of the world the first time it snows. :roll: :roll:
