2 18-wheelers, side by side, moving from redlight to redlight down Airline. Trapping everybody behind them.

I honked my horn one time on the interstate for someone that almost took off my front bumper. My horn got stuck so I was driving on the interstate in bumper to bumper traffic with my horn going off for about 5 min. It finally fixed itself but needless to say I was quite embarrassed.

Why the frick did you pass me if you weren't going to maintain that speed?


Or accelerate 15mph when you get over to the right lane to "teach that a-hole behind you a lesson".

When there is a line of cars waiting in the lane they need to be in to turn and several jackarses continue to run up the shoulder and cut the line.

Strangely, where I live, the driving culture is to run all red lights- and I mean red.

I look before I ease out on green. Lots of T-bone accidents here in Georgia.

1) People cruising in the left lane. Especially when they drive side by side with the car in the right lane.
2) Slowing down for yellow lights when you clearly could have made it
3) Driving under the speed limit.
4) Someone riding your bumper when you're going 5-10 mph over the speed limit
5) People that need to rubberneck for wrecks and cause traffic to slow up
6) Driving in the lane that ends until the last minute and then trying to merge over. (I am not letting you in
7) People that slam on the breaks when they see a cop even though they are doing the speed limit
8) interstate traffic in general. It is a straight road. At no point should there ever be stoppage on an interstate. If there is a wreck move it out the way.

Better question is what doesn't send me into road rage

When doing a U turn with a median the car in front of me pulls in the closest spot, then I pull in the spot further away and block their view of on coming traffic. And, they look at me like I'm the idiot. Like on Airline Hwy.


This, this, a 1000x's this. I would argue it is worse on south sherwood. I don't care if you are making a U-turn. Quit hugging the damn median! We can't see around each other. Also you are at a lose/lose with this because if you are hugging the median, you are a dumbass that doesn't know how to drive. If you pull the maneuver the right way, you risk those same dumbasses coming from the other direction hitting you head on. End rant.



Dumbasses!!

It doesn't get me in a rage, but I hate when someone's blinker doesn't go off. This is something I have come across a few times, but when a driver is driving slow in the left lane & once you pass them up they are just cruising, chatting it up on their cell phone.

Left lane drivers.

People who hit the brakes halfway through a turn. Jesus people--slow down before the turn hen accelerate out of it.

Not rage, but my pet peeve is when someone can't get close enough to enter the turn lane, then there is some oversized pickup truck who's 20 feet behind the car in front of them not giving a damn.

Person misses the entire turn light cycle so that someone can't have a rediculous amount of space between them and car in front.

Oh, that's a good one. Bonus rage when the turn arrow is still green when the a-hole finally moves, but the instant you get into the turn lane, it goes yellow then red before you can get to it.

Omg the people who ignore the merge signs and zip all the way to the point of no return and cut in line. My pickup is beat up enough that I don't care and will keep creeping up behind the car infront of me so that they can't cut. I wish the other people in line would do the same. Assholes.

When there is mother fricking 50 ft between two vehicles at an intersection!!

btw I scaled down the amount of "!" in that sentence to calm my rage.

People in the left lane driving UNDER the speed limit.

Speeders

Not those going 10-15 MPH over.

I'm talking about idiots who are going 70 in a 30, or 90 in a 45, or 100+ in a 60. Dangerously fast. The ones who are dangerously weaving in and out of lanes trying to get around all the drivers infront of them, and when they can not get around anyone, tailgate the shite out of those infront of them.

I have had to brake check these assholes before.

Drivers who don't pay attention to when their lane ends on an interstate on ramp and try to speed past you instead of falling back because they're too fricking stupid to read traffic signs.

Pulling out my garage. Driving in Africa is not for the feint of heart.

People ignoring any intersection rules at all resulting in a jumble of cars all going the wrong direction at the same time.

People doing 3 point turns in the middle of a busy street

People pulling out into an intersection without bothering to look

Dinky little motorcycle taxis everywhere that you constantly have to watch because they will try and overtake you on either side.

People honking their horns behind you to go when there's a stack of 10 cars three wide in front of you.

The list goes on forever but the #1 is when you're stuck in a long long line of traffic and some impatient dickhead decides to make the road contraflow then expects you to let him in when a car comes the opposite direction.
