Commits weekly crime

Besides the obvious ones (Left lane while not passing, no turn signals, can't maintain speed), here's one that gets me.

Merging on to and off of the freeway.

1) When you're getting on to the freeway, get up to the flow of traffic speed. If it's 60, be doing 60 BEFORE you merge. If it's slower, go as fast as everyone else, find your slot to merge and merge. Don't break, don't stop...merge.

2) Getting off the freeway. Unless the ramp is backed up, don't break before you are on the off ramp. If you're on the freeway, do the speed limit. Once you are on the off ramp, THEN you start to slow down. I hate it when people are doing 40 in the rightmost lane because people start to decellerate early.

3) This one is the one that bothers me the most. When getting on the freeway with traffic backed up. It's like a zipper. If I'm merging, I merge behind the car that was already on the freeway behind the person that merged ahead of me. Proper merging means the cars in the right lane of the freeway will alternate between those on the freeway and those merging. Of course, there are the idiots who decide there is now a clear lane to the right and go as far as they can to merge ahead of those that have already merged or are in the process of merging. I've been known to pull to the right to block these people so they merge like us normal folk.

Bumper Stickers. I can not stand them! If you are going to put them on at least put them on straight. There is nothing worse than seeing a crooked sticker.

i enjoyed reading some of the posts. i actually thought i was going to get caped for starting this thread.

i noticed alot of people get annoyed by lazy,dumb,stupid drivers. i guess we all do a far amount of driving a day.

what annoys me is people who have there license but drive like they were 2. expecially when at a flashing red light four way signal with four turns. i get so annoyed and scared cause knowbody knows how to let one side go then the next and so on. and if some one is crossing then that person he blocked wants to go next, does not have the patients to wait another turn.

They are trying to get a law passed here in GA where you can get a ticket for going less than the speed limit in the left lane.

People who are late all the time. Good lord act responsible and stop wasting others' time. Seems not many people care about how their actions affect other people anymore.

I had someone really annoy me tonight coming home from a club meet. This woman was going 20 in a 55 on a 2 lane road (and a no passing zone). I had the t-tops off and windows down and when we got to a passing zone I gave my signal and sped up and passed them. When I was right next to her she decided to lay on the horn and then yelled at me to SLOW DOWN! Kinda made me mad but I quickly watched the headlights dissapear in my mirrors and it was all good.

Ugh! Is it just too much to ask that people drive the speed limit on the tollway? And IF you feel that the posted speed limit is just wayyyyyy to fast for your comfort...please, please, please move over into the right lane or better yet...take the side roads.

Things that drive you nuts

People who sit at green arrows and wait for traffic. It means GO already

People who ride your ass and talk on their cell phone. I already cut rear ended by a girl in a Saturn a few years ago.

Fake people or two sided people! Act like your best friend one day the next day they don't even want to talk to you!

Noisy people trying to get up in your buisness

Red light, three lanes, right lane - turn right only, left lane - turn left only, middle lane go straight. I’m waiting my turn for the light, car in either right or left lane wants to cut in front of everyone to go straight. Happened just this morning. I almost let it ruin my day.

Passing people on the interstate only to have them speed up as I'm passing them. It happens out here in KS all the time.

Watching lazy people shove their shopping cart next to my vehicle in a parking lot instead of taking the time to put it in the cart corral. Confronting them about it is pretty fun, though.

Self Entitled assholes who think they're the only people on this planet.
