Annoying drivers

[V-town Fin Truck]

Tailgaters. I watch for the coffee cup coming up, then brake check. No coffee cup, just drop down to the speed limit and wait for the turn signal. Then move over and let them by. Blow them a kiss as they pass by flipping me off. They like that.

Blowing them a kiss? That's a great idea too. Maybe I'll try THAT next time instead of just pointing to my friend, Mr. Johnson.

I love it when the tailgaters flash their brights at you to get you to move over..... I can see that for letting a semi in to pass someone, but not for speeders........... that's break check time.

I've had someone tailgate me so bad that it got to break checks. That p*** him off more....so he got right on my tail, literally within about a foot. So I slammed on the breaks. His fault if he hits me, right? He swerved, then tried to pass me on the shoulder. So I swerved and ran him into the ditch. Bastard.

You and Shannon are my latest heroes.

Do I have to wear tights again?

NOPE!
Your flannel pajamas will be just fine.

I was once told I drive like old people f--k.

My response was "Yes, and when I'm old, I'm going to f--k like young people drive."

Ditto for me!!!

I know its not one of the choices, but I really hate the QUICK HONKERS who pull right up on your bumper at a red light then HOOOOOOONK!! if you don't rabbit jump the light when it turns green.

On 4 or 5 occasions I put my truck in park, turned on the emergency flashers, got out and walked up to their window and asked "Is something wrong? You were apparently trying to get my attention". I make 'em miss a whole light cycle if I can. This works best when the idiots were already up on my bumper and didn't leave room to go around me when I did this.

that' beautiful.
for me, it's slowpokes in the left lanes
You have a right to go as slow as molasses ... but not in the passing lane
These slowpokes (I mostly refer to them as "idiots")are often on their cellphones, but I'm hoping Cali's new anti-phone law were start sinking in and exposing how dangerous they're being.

For the record, I also hate the speeders who can't be satisfied going at the typical 75 MPH pace in CA and weave through freeway lanes doing 90.
In SoCal, these nuts cause a fatal accident practically every day

I had a lady who was tailgating me in a school zone yesterday. She actually passed me in the school zone I hope she was yakking on the cell phone and missed the yellow flashing sign and not just ignored it.

I caught up with her at the next light. One block later she got in the marked left turn lane and then suddenly turned right into a church without any signal whatsover. Thak heavens I wasn't tailgating her or I would have hit her for sure.

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?

So, Garry?? What was the websites results?

[Wino you know]

So, Garry?? What was the websites results?

Speeders-35%
Slow Pokes-11%
Cell Phone Users-54%

I had a quick honk happen to me yesterday. I was at a busy 4 way stoplight intersection at 5:30 mind you, and I was front of the line going straight. My light turns green and to be safe I wait 5 or 10 seconds before going, well the a-hole in the BMW behind me didn't appreciate my concern for safety and blew the horn at me to go. Coming the other direction full speed was an 18 wheeler who ran the red light to avoid jack knifing. If I would have gone when Mr. BMW blew the horn I would have been toast by the big rig. The conversation I had with him afterwards was not pleasant so you can use your imignation on what I told him

Tailgaiting.

I'll never forget my Driving Instructor telling me NEVER to switch lanes when someone is tailgaiting me.
His reasoning: They are already impatient and you can't predict when they might whip out into the next lane to pass.
It could happen just as you decide to pull over, then you've got an accident. Made sense to me. (And I've seen it happen lots of times over the years)

That nearly happened to me on the way home last night. I was in the left lane going about 55-60 (speed limit 55), and I look in the rearview mirror to see this pickup approaching from behind going well over the limit. So, I flipped my right turn signal on to let him know that I was about to move over. Right as I started over, he whipped into the right lane--just zooming past me. I had to jerk the wheel back to get back into the left lane. And, this was on a bridge going over a river. After I got home, I started thinking about if we had crashed, he and I both could have gone over the bridge into the water. That scared me.

And, right after I got over the bridge, I went to get in line to turn at an upcoming intersection. What did I see three cars in front of me? A police car. Why in the world could the officer not have left the police station twenty seconds later so that he would have been behind me when that happened, and that guy would have gotten what he really deserved? But, instead, on Wednesday, I got a ticket for going 5 MPH over the speed limit. No disrespect to the many wonderful officers out there who risk their lives every day, but it just seems like they are NEVER in the right place at the right time.

We're never in the right place at the right time.
We never have been, we never will be.
It's as much a mystery to me as to anyone.

I will say, however, I really get my "jollies" when I'm able to get in the face of these morons who, after going out and buying some fancy, expensive car, act as if the road or highway comes with their vehicle as standard equipment.
More often than not, I DON'T like getting in anyone's face just for being human, but things like that truly annoy me.

I can't speak for anyone other than myself, but I'd be willing to bet any officer who writes a citation to anyone for going less than 10 M.P.H. over the speed limit is having a REALLY slow day.

Mornin' Garry.

Reminds me of a time my buddy and I were on a small roadtrip and these two sporty cars blow by us on the highway, speeding waaaay over the limit, weaving in and out of traffic--i.e. racing each other. We got to talking about the whole "There's never a cop around" thing and then kind of forgot it. 10 miles up the road, a statie had them both pulled over.

Hi, Jack.
Hopefully they learned from their little stunt.

It's never worth the risk to be in a hurry or drive in an aggressive manner.

I saw a s*** accident once with drivers like that. My ex and I were driving and she says something about this car behind us weaving (we were on a highway.) I say "you mean switching in and out of lanes?" And she says "NO, like....well, that." and she points out the window and the guy is in the left lane speeding, and he's just cutting the wheel back and forth so the car is bouncing around. Well, he cuts it too far, the wheels catch the dirt in the should, he overcorrects and sends the car shooting off the highway into a bunch of trees and the natural embankment that was separating the two sets of lanes. Needless to say, the first thing I did was call 911 and tell 'em to send ambulances. Plural.
