Driving Pet Peeves

I strongly disagree with #7. I work DUI checkpoints, and they are effective in getting drunk drivers off the road.

Don’t care for those drivers that are afraid to get too close to the limit line, or stop 20 ft or more from the car in front of them. CA law says 5ft or less from limit line.

 

Yes, but I don't drive drunk and as long as there are DUI checkpoints I will be going out of my way to avoid them. I don't feel like dealing with police unless I've called them or help or I've actually committed some sort of violation. My uncle who is a cop in New Jersey thinks DUI checkpoints are unconstitutional!

 

Interesting points! I was just looking for a good DUI attorney Los Angeles because one of my friend has been caught for DUI. Want to help him because I owe him one. He was there when I had an accident months ago. Also, don’t want him to lose his driving licence.

 

You picked a good subject.
My pet peeves are stupidity on the road and everything everyone else said.
Must be just all the other drivers on the road.

 

4WD owners that don't use the function when it's snowing and they try to pull out in an intersection in 2WD and hold up the entire program.

 

90% of local drivers. I have never seen an entire village be so ate up.

Unfortunately the law enforcement resources here are minimal and they focus on the bigger things after the wrecks.

1. People that stop traffic already thats already up to speed to allow a person to turn left
2. Stop signs are merely a suggestion or intersection decoration. Yield signs? Wtf is that? Maybe indicates pizza shop on right or god knows what.
3. Parking within the 30 ft of that stop sign doesnt matter as the stop line is a guide for where to put your bumper. When parking on the street.
4.. speed limit signs must be interpreted in a different system non mph. In a 45mph they do 25 to 35. In a 25 they do 45 to 50.
5. Dedicated turn lanes are for you to remain with the grain of traffic (parallel to) not perpendicular to and close off two lanes.
6. People dont yield on left turns at a green light if they are car #1 in line fully expect your right of way to be violated, extremely dangerous when both lights are not simultaneous and you are already up to speed and they get a green.
7. Everybody smokes...cant enjoy a nice day with windows down and get fresh air, nope gotta roll em up and breathe stale recycled air, and then watch the stupid butts be flicked out to the streets. Littering fuck littering. Why would you want storm water to drain instead we have trash flood warnings since all grills are plugged.
8. Stupid front tinted windshields that help conceal all criminals. I dont give 10 shits what "medical" condition they have. What do they do when they get out of the car??? Or inside their homes? Sunglasses were invented in 19 early fuck. Wear them!
9. Repurposed cop cars. All cop cars need to be scrapped and not sold off. Recently one was casing a near by street and wouldnt you know 2 cars came up missing when the owners went outside to start them up. Both neighbors said police was parked out on the street. Nooooo bruh that was J-Squeezy n homeys stalking you. They loved riding in the back of a crown vic and now love driving them.

 

That doesn't seem spammy at all.

 

Well, evidently You're the one with the 'issue'. These people of whom you speak have such a high degree of driving skill and professionalism, that 4WD is totally unnecessary; especially with that hand/wrist draped so nonchalantly, over the steering wheel!

 

Spam?

 

Semi tractor trailers drivers that over do the grease on their fifth wheel hitch and it ends up all down the side of your ride. Hard as crap to get off too.

 

Slow drivers in the fast lane; I prefer to call it the passing lane.

Pull into the left lane to pass at a reasonably fast rate and get back into the slow lane.

If it takes more than a few seconds to pass the car in front of you, you are doing it wrong.

 

HEY! I resemble that remark!

 

And maybe this one as well ?

 

Built one or two in my lifetime

 

Oops ! Where'd that Peugeot come from . . . :-o

 

Giggle

 

I drive mostly rural two lane roads.

1) People who pull out in front of me so I have to brake when there is a long empty road behind me.
2) Drivers who are too lazy to stay in the lane and end up on the shoulder on right hand curves and across the center line on left hand curves.

 

This just in: More than half the drivers on the road think they're above average drivers.

 

People who suddenly appear in the path of your vehicle and/or in your blind spot when you are attempting to back up, pull forward, or change lanes.

Seriously! My reverse lights are on and I've already started backing up! Futhermucking wait!

Today, on my way to work, I signaled my intent to go from the left lane to the right lane. Out of nowhere, a woman in a green Honda Accord appears right next to me. She didn't beep. She just scowled at me as she passed me, only to make a right turn into a shopping center seconds later.

 

Don't get in the way of a woman and her shopping

 

And don't go shopping with a woman!

 

People who won't make left turns through huge gaps in oncoming traffic. They wait until the light turns yellow, and then go, thus no one behind them can make the turn before the light turns red.

 

People who fling they’re door ALL the way open to exit car on side of road with no concern for people driving in the lane next to them. Really drives me nuts
