Inattentive drivers. Focus on the task at hand and do it with efficiency. It is not that hard. Stop playing with your phones, makeup, etc.

Most of the stuff I used to get upset about had to do with slow drivers. Lots of them were on phones. Some were people who don't realize they need to go really fast when pulling onto an interstate hwy. Lots were the left lane interstate drivers. Some were just folks that are not used to driving in city traffic.

Another thing you had to be really careful about was people in left lanes of a three lane frontage road not knowing they had to turn left because the middle lane could turn left too. One wreck I had was an old man that went straight like that. You learned to watch every car beside you and expect them to do this if they were elderly or foreign.

Since I moved back to Ruston from Dallas nothing here bothers me except occasionally catching trains downtown.

We used to have one of those cars that took your picture if you sped. It's no longer there, but people still do 10 under the speed limit

Also when people just drive slow in general. Especially when it's two cars riding side by side. Not an aggressive person, but I'm tempted to get out my car at a red and pull some GTA shite.

People that have their brights on but don't turn them off when they see you coming.

And don't get me started on the people that constantly hit their brakes even though no one is in front of them and they're already doing 10 under the limit on a two lame road and you can't pass them.

Miss the days when I was excited to get a license. Never thought driving would be such an annoying thing.

Edit: Just got pulled over for speeding about an hour ago

I hope to God you just didn't advise that people being tailgated in the right-hand lane or on a two-lane highway "speed up."


He did, and that's where the disconnect is with me and tailgaters. They think that's going to be the end result. I'm sorry, but if I'm driving the flow of traffic, I'm not going to panic because somebody is riding my arse. I will usually be an a-hole right back and slow way the frick down. I'm not talking about the left lane of the interstate. I'm talking about surface roads, parking lots, etc.

They're allowed to drive in whatever lane they want. You know they don't have their own restrooms or water fountains anymore either right?

They also never get pulled over for letting their welfare checks in the back seat jump around not in a car seat.

two things. people who drive slow in the left lane and never get over.

And people who don't use blinkers.
I was pulling into a parts store yesterday and this skinny nerdy guy cut me off and took up two spots, totally fricking me, so I yelled some choice words to him. Then this 6'5" corn-fed baw gets out the passenger seat and I had to backtrack. lol I did not want none of that yesterday.

You'd like to get behind me.

I take 'em as fast as possible.
There's a row of traffic dividers in a downhill sweeping left-hander by my office and I try to get as close as possible to 'em.

I know I'm gonna clip a few sooner or later.

Our town has a busy divided two lane highway. I can understand getting into the crossing median so you can get across the highway. But too many of them leave their rear end hanging out onto my lane.

Part of me wants to keep a large, heavy object to drop onto that rear end to teach them a lesson, but I can't help but think that would backfire horribly on me.

If you hate bicyclists come to Greenville, SC - you will vent your spleen. They dress up in their bicycle uniforms and take over the main roads, especially during rush hour. I hate those fricks

I incited some road rage today. I splashed mud on a guy riding a motorcycle taxi this morning. He didn't enjoy the mud bath and let me know his displeasure.

I invited him to meet me down the road in the dry area but he declined.

What grinds my gears?

People who grind their gears.

1) Left lane campers
2) Anyone going under the posted upper speed limit ten or more mph on a controlled access highway in daytime and with good weather. Specifically the brand new $800k motor home going 50 in a 70 because the cheap bastard is saving fuel. Does someone have a right to do so? Yes, the Minimum Speed Limits are usually 40 mph. This right doesn't make it correct to do it. If you want to drive slow, take the back roads.
3) Folks who vary their cruising speeds dramatically. I understand that cruise control sensitivities vary as to vehicle models and that variance is OK.

A line of cars should move in concert at a green light, like a train, instead people fiddle-frick around and leave 20 yards of space before they accelerate up to 15 mph and only 10 cars get through when 30 should have.

Similar problem is inattentive fricks at a turn arrow that don't hit the monitor in time so the arrow turns way early because it thinks no one's there.

People that can't maintain speed

People that are over zealous with their brake.
