    I hate cyclists. They drive on the road and think that laws don't apply to them. Middle of the road and cruise through stop signs. If I ever see one get hit at an intersection I'm gettting out the car and laughing at him.

    When I lived in Philly I saw a cyclist run a stop sign in front of my apartment and get drilled by a car. He flew up on the hood and then went flying. It was hilarious.

    When a car pulls out in front of you forcing you to tap the breaks or slam when there is absolutely no one behind you.

    I live in Orlando, I have to deal with all of these damn tourists. BTW, it rains here. If you can't drive in the rain don't come down here. I can't stand when all of these tourists drive 15 mph in a 60 when it's a drizzle out.

    Where about in Orlando do you live?

    I live in Winter Park and know exactly what this like.

  • I hate when you're first in line sitting at a red light and some asshat on their bike cycles alongside your car and instead of sitting there, pulls around to the front of your car and sits like 2 inches in front of you so that when the light changes you have to wait 15 seconds for them to make a getaway.

    Hs teacher of mine hit a cyclist who didn't stop at a stop sign the bicyclist continued to scream at him for a bit and every time he stopped y teacher would calmly say "You had a stop sign, I didn't."

  • -drivers who don't turn their headlighta on when its pouring down raining, before sunrise and after sunset.
    -drivers who lead against their drivers side door and hang their arm out of the window.
    -drivers who stare at you as they're making a turn in front of you-whatchu looking at biznitch

  • The people that think they are being courteous by allowing someone to make a left turn in front of them on a 3 lane hwy, then feel the to "direct" them when to turn.

    Drivers who get in the turning lane way too early.

    The ass who flies down the open lane and merges at the front after 2 lane closure signs and everyone else has merged and is sitting still

    Lawn Care guy whose dirt and rocks keep pelting the front of my vehicle because you didnt blow out your truck.

    Hwy 98 between Pensacola and Panama City

    Guys who still have "Truck Nuts"

    Guy who thinks his music is so good, everyone in the intersection should hear it. This music is never Ryan Adams or Radiohead, but always several black guys cursing over a bass line tgat sounds like the song before it.

  • People turning out into traffic and will not go until there is absolutely no cars on the horizon. Is it really that difficult to accurately judge the distance of the oncoming cars and decide if you can make the turn?
    People who do not acknowledge you when you are polite enough to let them out/over. Is it that much trouble to raise your hand and give a little thank you wave?
    People that speed up when they see that you are trying to get over and then just sit next to you making it impossible to get over at all. Speed up or back off.

  • My problem is people who are in the left turn lane at a stop-light, without a protected green arrow.

    When the light turns green, the people in the left turn lane are supposed to MOVE INTO THE INTERSECTION so that more than one car can make a left per light. Get your ass in the intersection so that when the light starts to change you can turn left. It's not that hard.

    There is just a very fine line to this rule because 5 people try to squeeze in once the light turns red.

    And I hate faggots who run red lights. Wait for the next one, fatass.

  • When you're on the highway and have someone merging onto it and almost hit you. Then when you pass them saying WTF they are doing their make up, on the cell phone, smoking their cig, eating or attempting to do it all at once. Everything BUT drive their car.

  • I have a lot of things that piss me off with people driving, a lot of which has been mentioned here, but my main one is this:

    People who get on freeways that refuse to go freeway speeds. If you aren't comfortable going 70+ and want to drive 35, fine, but do it on normal streets and not the freeway. Passed a dude driving a Porsche 911 doing this yesterday and I just thought why have that car if you won't drive it like it can go.

  • People who blast loud ass bass/music

    People who walk across the street as slow as they can when i'm driving down the steeet

    People who bear left a little bit when making a right turn like they are driving a tractor trailer

    Correct. There is a fine line. But you have to be a real f'in idiot not to pull into the intersection on a green light.

    As long as my tires are all the way in the intersection when the light is still green, I'm going to go once the light turns red. That's why the general rule is 2 cars per red. You should be able to have the front car pull all the way into the intersection, and still have enough room for that second car to get their tires into the intersection. That way, when the light turns red, both cars are able to make the turn.

    Do this when at school, enjoying the scenery. Otherwise? Don't see the point in staring at every GD driver.

  • Drivers who take a curve at the suggested speed on the yellow signs. It says 35? You can do at least 55.

    People who honk in traffic that isn't moving. If the drivers ahead of you could move, they likely would. You're just annoying everyone.

    As mentioned, people who don't pull into the intersection on a left turn lane.

    People who stop their car less than a foot away from traffic on a highway. I'm sorry you have a flat -- get further away from the road. You're going to get yourself and someone else killed.

    I have developed a relatively accurate formula for this as long you're not in a truck/SUV.

    Times two, minus 10.

    If a sign says:

    25... you can safely take it at 40 (25x2 = 50 - 10 = 40)
    35... you can safely take it at 60
    45... you can safely take it at 80, although this is dependent on having good tires and a low C.O.G.

    If it says 55, I'm not trying to take it at 100 though, lol.

  • People who have no idea what deceleration lanes are for. Same thing with the middle turn lanes in a 4 lane road. Don't almost stop, then get in the turn lane/off the interstate. Get into that lane, THEN slow down so you're not holding up the rest of the world.

  • So I'm driving on 485 in charlotte on this beautiful saturday morning. I'm in the right lane coming up on this honda. I'm going approx 3-5 mph faster, I switch to the left lane, she speeds up. She then slows down so I pass her and get back in right lane. She then gets in the left lane (why??)and holds up cars for a couple miles. She then gasses it to merge into right land and instead of getting behind me (I passed her before) she speeds up and just as she is 2' ahead of me, she stops going faster, goes the same speed I am and gets into my lane, literally almost hitting me. So this dumb high school bitch and her mom teaching her decide its now time to slow down. I hit the gas on my V8, laid on the horn as I got into the left lane and passed. Stupid girl and her stupid mom never looked over. WTF is wrong with people.
