Mine has to be when people speed up for no reason to get one spot better when lanes merge. Happens all the time and luckily I'm such a great driver that we don't crash but wtf is wrong with people.

Today for example. Merging lane is coming up. There's about three cars ahead of me that are merged. I'm alone in the right lane and there's a car about 15 feet in front of me and another 20 feet behind me. The road is about to merge, I have my signal on and in my side mirror I just see the car behind me just speed the hell up to get in front of me for no reason. I tried to bluff them by moving over more but they just kept coming so I swerved into the shoulder as they just flew by. This happens all the time but usually not that bad.

Let's hear your stories.

When people in the lane next to you speed up really fast just to hit the brakes like 1.5 seconds later because there were only about 4 car lengths between them and the car in front of them.

I don't think it's possible to be intelligent and do this.

People who don't use their blinkers. I understand if it's 3am and nobody is on the road but if you're going to switch lanes at 5:00 on the highway, just do it.

Ooo the bikes thing is good.

But I think I hate the "psyche I'm really not that slow" drivers the most. Like, if you go to pass them on a highway, they speed up really fast, slow down so you catch up to them again like a minute later, speed up really fast when you try to pass them again, and the process repeats either until the end of time or until you run them off the road and set their car on fire.

People who accelerate until they have to brake. Like, they can never just coast up to the car in front, or to a T-junction - they will be gaining in speed right till the last moment and then slam the brakes. So dangerous, and so uncomfortable to be driven by someone doing it.

Although slow drivers in the no-pass zone is bad, I think the worst are people who block traffic trying to cut into another lane. My lane is wide open and I can't drive down it because some a****** is trying to cut in line.

People who slow down or disrupt the flow of traffic in general are awful (rubberneckers included)

Oh yes, that too.

What makes it worse if it's a FREAKIN' BUS and it cuts off two lanes or more >_>

Honestly, I'm not really even bugged by slow drivers anymore.

However, if they cut me off by turning into my lane when they really should've waited, I get mad.

Shoot. I have to pick from:
People that speed up to get around me when I'm going at/over the speed limit.

People that don't let me onto the freeway.

People in a two lane on-ramp who have to merge into my lane and try to speed up to get ahead of me.

Dumb pedestrians who trust drivers way too much.


I might have to go with, "People in a two lane on-ramp who have to merge into my lane and try to speed up to get ahead of me."

Old people

People who weave in and out of traffic to get to where they are going approximately 20 seconds faster.

People who make it a point to pass you when going the speed limit only to turn close enough to where you have to end up slowing down or stopping.

And everything else mentioned.

If I'm already going 65-70 in a 55, you don't have to gun past me. What the hell are you late for that this is necessary.

People who slowly move into the turning lane over the course of like thirty feet and slow down the entire time. Get into the turning lane entirely, that's why it's there.

And people who change lanes then signal for like half a second halfway through the lane change. Ugh.

Eh, can't really say pet peeve so much as mild annoyance.


People who block my view when I'm trying to turn left or people in the middle of the road when I'm trying to turn left. I know they have places to go as well and are trying to get there, it's just annoying that I have to wait for them in order to see/move safety.

Add to this situation having an impatient ******* who wants to do 20 over behind you. So you have a guy in front of you who won't speed up, and then a guy behind you riding your ass trying to get YOU to speed up, only you CAN'T because there's a guy in front of you! And if you ever get a little closer to the guy in front, like in an attempt to put even a minimal distance between you and the guy behind you, you can damn sure bet that he'll just eat up that distance and stay on your ass. So you can't maintain proper distance from the guy in front of you OR the guy behind you.

I was in a situation like this once, and it was like 3 blocks from my house.

I took my foot off the gas and just coasted the rest of the way to piss him off as much as possible.

when i'm sitting in a turn around, waiting to make a left into the closest lane and someone pulls up to make a left in a farther lane, completely obstructing my vision so i have to wait for all traffic to be clear so they can go, so i can finally see oncoming traffic again.

People who don't move over when I want to pass them.

Second worst... when I pull over to get into the slow lane for my exist, plenty of room behind me, and a guy speeds up, but will then turn on his blinker like I'm going to let him in. You knew what you were doing, just pull in behind the line because I am not letting you in just so you don't feel like you wasted your time being dumb.
