[Papa_Complex]

Flipside of #3; the people who accelerate, when you come up alongside them, KEEPING you in their blind spot.

[AquaPython]

they forgot the worst two of all!

#1 those who take your blinker as a personal insult to their families and mothers. They, at the first sight of your inclination to change lanes, no matter if it is to get in the faster lane or slower lane or even the exit lane, will speed up to box you out. You Shall not pass... in front of me! it is an attack on my religion to see the rear end of your car!
this may be a floridiot thing, because I remember people in NJ and NY being very pleasant and agreeable to your wishes to lane change.

#2 - Lets all hold hands, as we two / three drive in two / three lanes at the same position, and at the same FUCKING speed: Doucheteen MPH! Why not? it's not like anybody has to be anywhere to be but sitting behind our oblivious asses and looking past us at the vast stretches of glorious, virgin, open road ahead.

[Papa_Complex]

What, people still signal? I thought that I was the only one.

this may be a floridiot thing, because I remember people in NJ and NY being very pleasant and agreeable to your wishes to lane change.I have been guilty of this, and here's why:

If there is an established "line" in my lane, and everyone in my lane has been waiting patiently in that lane because that is the lane they need to be in, and someone comes buzzing past in the next lane but they really needed to be in my lane and just didn't want to wait in the "line," then you'll see the space between me and the car in front of me shrink faster than a dick in the Arctic. I don't care how long they run their turn signal, it's not a license to skip the cars that have been driving in that lane patiently and maintaining a safe distance between each other.

If it's just normal traffic and both lanes are moving along, then I welcome a turn-signaler and will usually open up the space for them if possible. Also if the other lane is stuck, but I see the turn-signaler is waiting to be let in and not trying to bully his way in.

See it every day, on my way home from work. You've got a line that's more than a half mile long, waiting patiently to hit the on-ramp to The Gardiner Expressway (main east-west route along the lakeshore, in Toronto), and some asshat will run all the way to the end of it in order to queue jump. And some other asshat always lets him in! The same people, day in and day out, and no one learns.

The same thing happens once we're actually on the ramp, too. The left lane, of two, continues. The right lane ends. Assholes keep driving up the breakdown lane, and then push their way into the real lane.

[Corey]

The only one I take a slight umbrage with is the barriers on the side of the road. Around here, they stick them right on the line, and 99% of the time, they're stuck up in an area where they're working on the road. The road is torn up, has different layers and the lanes have been shifted, so there are plenty of deep groves in the road that throw your car in a random direction out of nowhere. It's unnerving as shit when you're driving straight and the lane shifts over some fresh asphalt and all of a sudden the wheel jerks randomly. Fucking hate that shit. Otherwise, solid list.

[Homeslice]

Perhaps if people wouldn't cut into my lane at the very last second, I wouldn't get mad. I shouldn't be forced to slow down to accomodate you. Next time wait until I've passed you, THEN get into my lane.

#2 SERIOUSLY pisses me off

[Rangerscott]

I love it when someone is going .5mph faster to pass someone. I love motorcycles because they fit in tight spots. ZING!

[Smittie61984]

The campers bug the shit out of me at school.. THey just gotta have that front spot near hte exit. So all the cars coming in are fucked upa nd the cars wanting to leave are fucked because you are by the exit. I often walk down that lane if I'm parked a floor above and watch people follow me at 2mph as I walk tot he end. Then they get pissed when I hit the stairs.

[the chi]

They forgot the ones you always see on long trips...you know, those folks going 5 over in the left lane, when everyone else is trying to go at least 10 or more over. You pass them, they speed up so you cant pass, you go faster, they go faster and it keeps on until you finally get irritated enough to stomp on it, leave them in your dust, they give up, then 20 minutes later they come flying up and immediately slow down after they've gotten in front of you. Or they get a little ways in front of you, and 5 minutes later you are playing this whole game again. And 98% of this time you've been on cruise control.

These drivers are also known as losers who dont know how to use cruise control...

People who think the left lane is free game to stay in permanently, just because there are several other lanes in that direction. Their excuse is, "Other people have plenty of room" or "They're going to pass me on the right anyway"

If you come up behind me, I'll move over. Once.

If you have established yourself as erratic and can't hold steady speed, it will be your responsibility to get by me cleanly. If you've really annoyed me, that may be harder than you think.

Careful, I mentioned these assholes before and got jumped on...

Was that when the answer was to speed up to 90 for a few miles, and let them follow. When you back down to 75 -80, they'll feel like they are crawling and will probably leave you alone?

If your driving like an asshole behind me...and I can pace someone (or two) people in lanes next to me...I will...Why? To piss in your cheerios and make your day that much worse. I love the people that switch lanes trying to get by and then realize the lane they picked isn't gonna work so they switch back the lane they were just in and that one STILL isn't moving the way they want.

I've had people do it to me...and I've gotten frustrated because I was in a rush...If you can honestly say you have NEVER gotten angry while driving and not done any of the things listed, Well..I dont believe you.

[Homeslice]

I like how the left-lane squatters are more likely to move over if there's only 2 lanes in each direction, instead of 3 or more. It's as if they think "If there are plenty of lanes, then it's cool for me to just park in one and stay there forever"

There is the flip side of this coin. The people who sit in the right lane going slow behind a semi or other car. They sit there happily minding their own business until a car going 20 mph faster than then comes charging up the left lane ready to pass both in a hurry. Well mister right lane decides it's his moral obligation to move over to the left lane and block the left lane speeder right before the speeder passes him. Then mister right lane takes an hour to pass the car that was in front of him to further piss off left lane speeder.

If I am traveling faster than traffic, I will typically not let anyone in. I am moving faster than you, I am passing. You are slow, you need to be in the right lane so I can pass. If you are traveling faster than me, I have no issues getting right and letting you by.

[Smittie61984]

I don't remember if it was in here but another one i hate is the shoulder drivers or those who see for 5 miles there is construction and one lane, then drive to the front so they can squeeze in.

In Toronto that happens at every on ramp, during rush hour. People even move into the on ramps from the main highway, to blast past maybe 5 cars, and then force their way back in past the end of the merge lane.

I am not talking about cutting them off. I am talking the ones that are blocking 5 miles away from the merge point. If you pass them, you have open sailing to the merge point. LOL On a bike it's easy to just accelerate around them and merge at the must merge point. I don't like to wait in line on a bike. Clutch hand gets tired after awhile and I can merge anywhere I want aka lane split into the spot I want, LOL.

I haven't in a while. Used to go through fairly frequently, on the way out to the east.

[njchopper87]

I run into most of those on the list on a daily basis here.. in NJ I was always scared to drive on the turnpike or parkway when I was learning the ropes. I found out if you signal to lane change most people will let you in fairly fast. Around here they don't know how to drive with other people on the road. So when you signal to make a lane change they just hover at w/e speed they're going and are oblivious you even exist. Of course, it gets better as you get to the city (in my case columbia), however, the road map is so flawed that courtesy doesn't get you very far.

Another thing that they like to do around here is come to a complete stop at yield points and fail to make a right turn on a red even though there's no sign barring against it.

[Sixxxxer]

I love when people come to a traffic circle...Oh and if anyone who doesnt know, You cant make a left in new jersey, you have to use a jughandle.

I was behind the #5 (let everyone in) this morning... idiot stopped 50ft behind the car in front, I assume because there was a side street she would have been blocking. The problem was, there were no cars on said street and there was no 'do not block drive' sign... probably because we're only a couple hundred feet from an intersection behind us... so she sat.

The light we were at (6-8 cars back) changed... and she sat... why? Because someone turned on that side street... by the time they got the stop sign, the light had changed again and there was nobody there in our lane. She proceeded to wave this guy through... and waited for ANOTHER guy coming down the road. By this time the light had changed AGAIN and I was on the horn...

Finally after letting the 2nd guy out, she goes... and ALMOST stops at the now yellow light, but I was so far up her ass and on the horn again that she went... I pulled up alongside her "just to see what the fuck she looks like" and she looked over at me like I was some sort of idiot. It's amazing that this chick made it to her destination... Ever.

How about the idiots who are driving through a retail parking lot, and they stop and roll their windows down to talk to someone, or they stop to drop off or pick up someone, and they just sit there, in the way of everyone else

I know it's rocket science, so I can forgive you if you haven't thought of this before, but how about asking the person you're talking to to get into you car so that you can keep moving? Or, instead of dropping off/picking up someone from the front of the store, how about telling them to WALK? Is it really worth inconveniencing 10 cars behind you, just so you can save your friend from walking 50 feet??

He didn't just split past me. He went around me, prior to the actual merge, while I was merging into the first available space.

Did you shift to the right in order to block him, or because you were eventually going to change lanes? Kinda hard to tell since it's a solid line that continues for quite some time after that.

I was on the right, on the ramp, to block the cars that blow up the breakdown lane and then force their way in. It makes me more visible to them so they don't think that I'm an open space, and crush me when they move into it.

I was completely unaware of them, until a few seconds before I made my lane change. That's when I saw them, coming up behind me, and verified that they weren't accelerating to pass. Except that he did, after I checked. I stopped in the right side, of the lane I moved into, because I caught him coming up on me out of the corner of my eye. If I'd have kept going, I would have taken out his front wheel.

The camera is on my right mirror stem.

No I meant at the end of the video.

Oh, as I was coming up on the other ramp? Same principle. I block the side to which I want to be the most visible, and from which the greatest danger is likely to come. The more in their face I am, the less likely they are to mess with me.

And the lane splitter wasn't there, when I made my move to the right. He came up along the right of the other vehicles, after I moved over.

So that guy crossed the solid line to get around?

That was a different ramp, that was separated by a concrete island. The Gardiner Expressway, the highway that I was on, is elevated above street level and there are ramps up to it, at various points. I came up the ramp to The Gardiner Westbound, at York Street, which is where I had the first two splitters pass me. The third splitter came up the ramp at Spadina.

In Ontario solid lines are relatively meaningless, unless also accompanied by a sign indicating that they are to be obeyed. They can be used to prove carelessness though, in the event of a collision, as they are considered cautionary in nature.

and at the same FUCKING speed: Doucheteen MPH!

Doucheteen MPH still makes me laugh, lol

The driver I hate almost a much as the ”mouth breather” is the driver that believes it's their mission to teach everyone else on the road a lesson. Fuck off, you aren't that good of a driver.....

oh yes this! and the only 'lesson' anyone learned is that you are an asshole too...
