Most ANNOYING things when Driving (2 Viewers)

[CieL]

Trucks that go in the right lane on a freeway...
Even worse, trucks in all three lanes of a main road...
KEEP TO THE LEFT!!!!! ZOMGGG

Then the cars which think they have enough room to merge in but don't really.. Forcing me to brake/slow down so I dont scratch my sexy car

When you give room for people to merge and they don't give the hand-signal of "thankyou".. that gives me the s**** real bad

OHH.. when there's a traffic light, then another traffic light shortly.. and you go past the first traffic light thinking there's enough room to fit your car - cos visually there is - but some retard in front of you leaves 3/4 of a carlength's worth of room in front of themselves and doesn't move up, so your car's ass is in the middle of traffic..

Something that Ive seen abit more frequently now is idiots who dont know how to indicate. On one occasion this twat on the highway in the left lane (me driving in the right lane) put his indicators on while I was say 10m off his rear, so I slow down to give him even more room and he just stayed their, then I overtook and he went in behind me. When you indicate the person in the other lane HAS to give way ffs.... dont put your indicator on until their is room or if you put it on early and someone gives you room then change lanes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it?
I always thought signalling just indicates intention of going in a certain direction, I never thought that you'd HAVE to give way to that person.. I mean, it'd be nice to.. but you're not obliged to

Having the person in the back seat licking your ear whilst you drive.

Are you sure you didnt enjoy it more than being annoyed?

When you indicate the person in the other lane HAS to give way

Where did you get that from? I am pretty sure that isn't the case. It is up to the person wanting to change lanes to wait until it is safe.

If that is in fact true it is possibly the stupidest rule ever.

 

[lengy]

It's distracting but after the first time you get used to it

Ciel is my kind of driver. Much <3 to you.

I'm pretty sure it's just true when the lane you're in is closing.

yeah same here Legham - well thats what Dad has been teaching me... I'm yet to go with a driving instructor but hope to very soon so i can get my Ps

 

[CieL]

Yep exactly my thoughts... like when they gotta merge n stuff... like HAVE TO merge...

Cos it'd be stupid if you HAD to give way to everyone that indicates.. like, oh look, some car didnt check their blind spot and has merged into me whilst indicating, it's my fault.. har har..

I hate people that don't check... THRICE I've nearly been swiped if it wasnt for my horn and abusive language

 

[Legham]

My mate was hit by someone who did that just yesterday!

Hmm.. another annoying thing when driving is when you're driving on a road along the edge of a cliff and the passenger grabs the steering wheel and yanks it in the direction of the cliff

*hopes sophie reads this*

hahaha.

Well now Im not so sure... I know when a lane is ending you do HAVE to let them in, but in the situation I was in I cant find anything to suggest you have to, but you should be curteous and let them in. However I was certain I read ages back that you can be fined for not letting someone in when they are indicatoring :|

Eitherway it doesnt matter, youd have to be retarded to put your indicator on for 40seconds while another car is in the other lane... it confuses traffic because you have no idea if the guy is gonna push in or wait, which your definetely not meant to do!

EDIT:

I stand corrected big time in relation to giving way to someone who is indicating, from legislation:

"A driver on a multi-lane road who is moving from one marked lane (whether or not the lane is ending) to another marked lane must give way to any vehicle travelling in the same direction as the driver in the marked lane to which the driver is moving. " - http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/tas/consol_reg/trr1999290/s148.html

Although there is nothing wrong with giving way, its being curteous (and safer consdering some people will change whether you move or not!) and I still say the guy in my story was a retard.... you dont indicate when you still have to wait 40secs to change lane

wait.... so, "corrected big time" means you're full wrong right?

Yeeeeeeeeees...... n e way it hasnt effected my driving negatively, like Ive never floored the brakes to let anyone in cos I thought I have to...... best policy is make decisions which keep the traffic flowing (eg if a car is slightly ahead of you and lane is ending ahead slow down alittle to let them in rather then speed up and cut them off, esp if theirs a car behind you etc)

Call me intolerant, but I hate cyclists. Get off my road and on to your piddling little footpath, kthxbye.

There's only one thing that pisses me off when driving.

Trucks.

The irony is they put the most stupid uneducated people in charge of the largest most dangerous vehicles.

They are so animalistic. Trucks always go 95 k in a 100 zone, just slow enough to be anoying.. so i overtake them, and then they over take me..

oh.. right.. can't be stuck behind a p-plater, right?

Morons.

They obviously cop a bit of shit from other road users (Seeing as it's their job which they do x amount of hours each day) and so they have the same attitude towards all car drivers.. but p-platers are seen as being worse.

Uhhh I think it's just you.

On the freeway, trucks tend to go pretty fast imo, as in, above the posted speed limit.. I am sometimes quite content to travel behind one unless they're dumping dirt all over the road.. but usually I do overtake trucks cos I dont like how they pick up rocks n stuff..

You must drive like a dumbass to be picked by a truck. Never in my life has a truck tried to play tag with me.. not that I go slow enough to get tagged anyway..

I wouldnt be surprised if you sped to overtake the truck, then go 95 or 100 after you've overtaken them, just enough to piss the truck driver off too.

 

[CieL]

I hate P-platers.
I hate truck drivers and bus drivers
I hate pedestrians
But most of all, I hate having my dad in the passenger seat screaming at me when i "speed"

You do realise that sooner or later you're going to be a p-plater yourself....

cyclists belong on the road too, moron.

 

[Legham]

Not when there's a dedicated bike path off the road.. >_>. Stupid triathletes thinking they own the world..
