This. Slow drivers never cause accidents unless it's like a break check situation. Meanwhile, fast drivers cause accidents all the time.

yup

there's probably at least 6 times per week I'm trying to merge onto the highway and the person in front of me won't even get above 40 on the on ramp.

good job, you used your blinker! everyone already knew you were going to move out of the lane that stops existing, instead of driving straight off the overpass into the trees! now maybe you should accelerate so we don't both get crushed by the oncoming truck?

I appreciate fast drivers, just not excessively fast.

This. Slow drivers wouldn't be annoying if they kept away from the slow lane or were mindful that they're blocking traffic.

A single fast driver will change lanes in an attempt to keep their rate of speed.

A slow driver will cause multiple drivers to change lanes to keep their rate of speed.

There is both a onus on fast drivers to move to the left to pass slower drivers and an onus on slow drivers to move to the right if their rate of speed is disrupting the flow of traffic behind them.

Absolutely hate that. And then they sometimes brake because the opportunity isnt there now to
safely merge. Its like no shit. You need to speed up so youre going as fast as the people your trying to join, instead of slowing down even more.

Honestly, the driver that irritates me the most is the one that hangs out in your blind spot and refuses to leave it.

The absolute worst was once when I had my indicator on trying to merge, and I couldn't tell if I had enough room, so I slowed down but he matched my speed, so I sped up but he matched my speed. This went on for at least a mile, until the only way I could come up with to actually make my exit was to (check my rear view first and) brake hard. This asshat even started to match that maneuver until I kept braking and he chickened out.

Definitely the fast and reckless

And the useless ass police are never around to pull them over. They should have their licenses suspended until they fucking learn.

Drivers in general.

Well I dunno what else to say but that's not been my experience. Then again, I don't live in a country where I need to drive for multiple hours a day every day.

Depends on the situation tbh.

Speeding will get people killed. Slowing is just annoying until there's a chance to pass.

On the streets I dislike fast drivers because it's pretty much unnecessary to drives fast on the streets because of frequent stops. On the highway I hate slow drivers, and I mean the ones that don't follow the flow of traffic or going 15 under in the left lane. I live in Dallas so half the people drive either extremely fast or as slow as possible while looking lost. I dislike the latter more.

I've lived in the city for 2 years now and I think I've seen one cyclist who actually followed the rules of cycling on the road instead of going whenever and wherever they want.

Most probably an infrastructure or cultural issue?

Slow

Fast ones are more dangerous. They are more likely to tail gate and road rage, and not use signals. Some tend to weave in and out like crazy, and they just come up from behind you in a split second.

no they're just dumb

people jaywalk constantly too

Slow, mainly because 90% of my driving is on single lane roads where it's hard to pass. Like if I'm driving to the next town, one slow person can cause a long train of cars all the way there. Annoying as fuck.

People who drive slow when they're in front of me

People who drive fast when they're behind me

Slow drivers. All you have to do with speeders is just move over... simple. Slow drivers create so much road rage and become an obstacle for everyone else, and then it causes people to do some crazy shit, especially on those one lane roads and someone is going 10 or more MPH less than the posted limit.

Yep. I love how people try to say that driving slow isnt that dangerous when it clearly can be.
