When people see a merge ramp ahead sign why do they feel the need to ride the bumper of the person ahead of them? Shit! just leave a little room for these people to sneak into traffic or move over a lane. Merge ramps are not meant for people to have to stop on. If they were they would be an intersection with a freakin stop sign.

While I am at it what is up with the jerks who fly low in the passing lane and 1/4 mile before their exit shoot across 4 lanes of traffic. Move that way a bit sooner. I know this guy is not lost, I get cut off by this fucker every other morning. One of these days I am going to be a road rage statistic. I am going to have enough and play fuck fuck with him and make him miss his exit!

I hear you on that one. I've had morons who would go onto the highway very slowly and take a long time to get up to highway speed. They think they're very safe drivers but end up causing a lot of accidents.

There are many times I believe they got their licenses by the expertise they show in blowing the examiner.

While I am on a roll I have more.

Don't just let off the gas and coast. If you are going to let off the gas, tap the brake lights a few time to let us know you are slowing down. I don't want to shave off my brake pads anymore than the next guy but sheesh!

Speaking of cramming on the brakes. That turn signal is not meant as an after thought. If you have already came to almost a complete stop and started to crank the wheel nevermind clicking the signal. I have figured it out. Turn that signal light on at mid turn and I want to run your tailpipe out your radiator. Here is a concept. Turn signal on, then brake.

Actually, I have to say that weekday peak hour traffic around here is pretty good. Not that it flows well, necessarily, but people are generally courteous, let people in, and so forth. There's a heap of road construction underway, which has had a severe impact on some major arterial roads, but people during the week just deal with it. It's positively inspiring

However, it's a different story on the weekend, or when it rains.

Actually, there's my rant: people who don't normally drive in the city at busy times, who say "oh it's raining, I'm going to drive to work, and dammit, I'm going to tailgate, stop people entering traffic, weave between lanes because I want to do 100 and the flow is at 20, and all the other things I do when I drive on the weekend. And then I'll write to the papers and complain about the capacity of our roads."

Hey, ranting is fun!

And here's another one.

MAINTAIN CONSTANT SPEED!

Damn I hate the 'speed up, slow down, speed up, slow down' ad nauseum bullshit!

Either pay attention to the driving or get the f**k off the road!

And while we're at it, "Get off the damn phone!" Too many times I've nearly been killed or maimed (both as a driver and as a pedestrian) by retards who are yapping on their phone while behind the wheel.

I hate people who go 20 in a 30.
It makes me late to work.

I also hate people who think I'm making hand signals at them when I'm just eating French fries.

Also, get speed BEFORE the giant hill in front of you. Don't wait till you're 1/4 of the way up and slowed down back to within first gear, then gas it to give both of our transmissions a work out. Slowly chugging up that hill is NOT saving gas, I assure you.

I coast to red lights up ahead when I see a fresh red light.. which saves gas.

I love it when people floor it pass me on my scooter (me going 40ish and speed limit 45) to see them slam on brakes at next stop light and wait with me behind them. Not my gas they are wasting by flooring their SUV past me.

Also, people who tailgate me on a scooter then flip me off or yell at me when passing me are ass holes. I can way slower and I probably was just to piss you off more =)

Truckers that are lost.
you suck.
going 35 in a 55.
die dickweed die.

let's see... idiots on an interstate that CANNOT:
maintain speed
lane position
use their signal light
decide to push the accelerator down

who else?
old people.
sorry, you suck. keep your geriatric ass off the highway if you can't a)see over the steering wheel or b)push the accelerator hard enough to make the car go!

Posted by Drooldog I coast to red lights up ahead when I see a fresh red light.. which saves gas.

I fume at drivers to coast up to red lights in front of me, when I'm waiting to turn into the un-lighted slip lane at the intersection... and they get slower, and slower, and slower...

And now I know who's doing it.
