Routine Stupid Drivers? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

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.

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.

In the left lane on a highway where the law says they shouldnt be unless they are passing the traffic on the right? I do the same thing.

Maxxdsix · 03-10-2011, 11:07 AM

When people dont signal. Especially when if they signaled that they were turning I could have also turned instead of sitting in the intersection like a jackass.

Always a problem for me. My truck tops out at 68mph (Ryder governs the damned things.) and I had it pegged (at 68) and some douchehat from New Jersey in a minivan decided hes going to pass me, get 5 feet in front of me, then slow down. I pass (still have it to the floor) and give him plenty of room, so he speeds past me, cuts me off, then slows down. Dumb **** does this AT LEAST halfway from Scranton to Wilkes-Barre, probably about 10 miles or so, so I stayed in the left lane after that.

I've had almost every stupid driver experience imaginable, considering I drive 300-400 miles a day through both city and highway. Yesterday I had a great one, some old man ran a red light to make a left turn and hit my left side while I was on my way to work, so I was in a great mood. At midnight I had a shot for my left side that was in mint condidion when I left the house in the morning.

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.

no , PA tags

TO THOSE BTCHING OF MY TAILGATING COMMENT:
i don't ride two feet from people, more like a car lenght which i still consider to be close at 60 mph, and it's common decency that if you aren't passing then you shouldn't be in the left lane.
let's move away from a tailgating debate and back to btching of the driver's we encounter doing other stupid stuff

How about people that veer to the left just before making a right turn as if their driving a god damned school bus?

That's because they don't give these soccer moms driving lessons when they start driving a Tahoe/Escalade/Hummer/"Insert Retarded SUV needed to transport two children here" before they hit the road with them.

That's also why 9/10 times, I avoid parking next to them like the mother effing plauge. Since you know they're gonna clip someone backing that beast out, I'd rather it not be me.

jspek · 01-02-2007, 11:15 PM

well i just got rearended today. so yea the last month have been nothing but bad drivers.

ToyotaTat · 01-02-2007, 11:21 PM

i want to get a custom horn that yells " get the f**K out of my way!!"

ToyotaTat · 01-02-2007, 11:33 PM

^ thank you. and by highways i mean rt1 (outside of philly), pa turnpike, 202, 422, etc. not local jawnies like 232 and 413

LS2GTO · 01-03-2007, 12:07 AM

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.
