Routine Stupid Drivers?

[cburwell]

What are some of the stupid things that you see drivers doing routinely? Maybe this will help people making "idiot driver threads" see they are not the only ones to experience this stuff.

On my way to my one job in Fort Washington, I take butler pike all the way through Ambler. The speed limit on most of butler pike is 35MPH, but I usually go anywhere from 40-45MPH. Apparently this is not fast enough, because I have been passed countless times by other drivers (Over the double yellow, and once or twice with on-coming traffic closing in). In the past week I was passed twice. The last time was by an RX8 as I was slowing for a yellow/red light. At the last second the driver decided they didn't want to drive behind me anymore.

Most of these drivers get a couple honks from my horn, and the occasional "you're a douche" thumbs up.

ok, lets hope this will stay open....
as stated in my already locked thread from earlier today...
on my way home today coming off of bristol rd. onto buck rd. im doing the speed limit w/ my friend in his car, and some asshat in a blue 3.2 tl-s decides that isn't fast enough so he passes us over double yellow on a curve. he recieved high beams for the remainder of the time we were behind him.
also, countless times in northeast philly there's the idiot's who pass massive lines of traffic from the shoulder or middle turn lane on both bustleton and the blvd (rt1).

I still HATE idiots that can't maintain a constant speed on the highway!! Even if there is no one to pass. I'm getting angry just talking about it.

Where do I start....I am constantly getting 'drafted' in my Sprinter van. It annoys the crap out of me.

One thing that I see every day in Richboro is cars approaching an intersection, driving over the double yellow into oncoming traffic to into the left turning lane. It REALLY burns my diesel when they are driving directly toward me and I have 'kiss' the curb to let them get by. It makes me miss driving the Kaiser.

people in the left lane of highways doing the speed limit alongside the right lane when myself and/or others are riding their ass

BINGO! FTMF'ers

EDIT: YES, Redline suffers from a bad case of Road Rage. This is why he drives a $600 towncar and people wonder why!

Left lane is for passing, hence people doing the speed limit need to merge the hell over.

WRONG!!! The posted speed limit is for the maximum top speed you maroons. The right lanes happen to be for the trucks/buses, or any other vehicles driving at a slower pace. Learn the rules.

Now, I am not supporting people that drive slow in the left lane, I just hate people that tailgate. It is a pointless recipe for disaster. Unfortunately, it usually takes a disaster to teach these people.

Tailgating would be a thing of the past if people weren't negligent to their surroundings in the left lane. I try not to follow too closely, but there are times on the highway where people just don't get the point. Approach them from behind and follow at speed with decent room, and they assume that because you AREN'T tailgating them they are fine. Wrong, get the **** over.

This is why countries like Germany can have such privleges as the Autobahn and we're stuck at 65mph. Because if you raise speed limit you know it's going to end up with someone rear ending someone else in a lane they never should have been in long enough to cause a crash.

One thing that boils my blood is when people with pieces of **** follow behind me too closely, given that most cars on the road's brakes are not as good as mine. Without trying to sound all pompous, I think they see the car and want to pace it as if they have something to prove to me. Most often it is minivans and Kias in my experience. This is the reason why I'm more concerned with whats in my rear view when braking hard on the highway than what's in front of me.

I tailgate people hard when they don't move the hell over. 2 feet from their bumper. I hope you never have a Ferrari. You won't even open it the hell up I bet. I drive 100mph every day. Never once driven 55 in the 60k miles I've driven already.

Its also unecessary for some idiot to be driving on the highway side by side to another car thats going 65, and hes going 65 the whole way next to him. That is ignorant. In most states there are signs "Keep right unless Passing"

[poolmike]

Well, now we know who the routine stupid drivers are......

[slavetothemuzic]

You people would go f**kin' nuts in Oregon (where I've moved to).

Tards routinely go 5-10 UNDER the posted speed limit (even when the roads are totally dry), in the fast lane, with no one in front of them, and won't get over for nothing .

It makes me absolutely effin' nuts.

Old people who try merging into me when 2 lanes turn into one.
