Car/Driving related things that annoy the piss out of you - General

[QUOTE=DarkSamus;35623301][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRFL4uZjV7I[/media][/QUOTE] There is a special place in hell for the people who accelerate when they see someone overtaking them because they're dithering at 5-10 below the limit. Next to the child molesters and people who talk in the theater.

Oh boy. This probably has been posted already, like a couple of times. But i'm gonna post it again.

But when they group up and take the whole road... NNNGHNHGHG

Oh god it's even worse when it's on a small 2 lane mountain road that has lots of blind turns. I swear these assholes do it on purpose, each lane has barely enough room for one car and so cars have to slowly go around them, cutting into the opposite lane to get around them. If it happens by a blind turn, then you pretty much have to slow down and wait for them to get around the turn so you can safely pass them

I live on a major road and because we're a "bike friendly" town, all of the major roads have bike lanes now. Sometimes it takes 20 minutes to get out of my driveway because of fucking bikes. I hate them. Bikes fucking get in your way all the time. Whenever I want to make a turn, there's a bike in the way. Whenever I'm trying to open my door to get out of my car, a bike is coming up behind me and I have to wait for him to go by. I can't stand the fuckers. If you want to bike, go into the woods and use the bike paths there. Don't bike on the roads. Its fucking obnoxious.

Man, I love bikes, but the cyclists in ABQ are an enormous bunch of dicks. Even when they have a bike lane, the feel the need to ride in the middle of the road, then they give you the finger when you pass, and block when you try to sometimes. Just recently, some guy cut off our huge, diesel F-350, and glared when we passed, It's not like he didn't hear the huge goddamn thing coming. They are some of the worst cyclists i have seen, because of their belief that they own the damned place because they help the environment or something and have their own special breed of sadism for people who go by them. I have no problem with people who bike on the street, just with the ones who are massive dicks about it and never use their appointed bike lanes.

Girls who spill the bong water in the backseat and blow still smoldering ash chunks into the apholstery, leaving a nice black crater and making my car smell like shit. I dislike music haters that constantly complain. The trashers after you drop em off, leave a nice present of spilled coffee under the seat. I dislike people who feel the need to honk at you when you're already going 20 over the limit

ash goes OUTSIDE

My town drives me batshit with this stuff.

I don't even [editline]30th April 2012[/editline] Another thing I hate When you're turning at an intersection and a pedestrian decides to ignore the big red hand and makes you wait to turn.

I've also seen people use bike lanes as [i]turn[/i] lanes. That shit was scary since at the time I didn't have a car and I had to bike from place to place. And I was nearly killed on two occasions as a result of that. I even had an old lady pull over and asked me if I was ok because she was calling the cops on that guy because they nearly hit her too. So turn lanes and assholes with zero regard for public safety annoy me as well.

Small towns in the mountains are the worst with cyclists and pedestrians. Especially the "touristic" towns, I swear everybody there tries to be as douchy as possible to drivers

[QUOTE=Glitch360;35778114]Small towns in the mountains are the worst with cyclists and pedestrians.

You do need to watch before you're going to the right though! The idea behind this is that when you're actually making the turn right you won't be surprised by a cyclist passing you on the right.

boost leak on your birthday. that has to be the worst!

[QUOTE=Tukimoshi;35811507]I thought that's what side-mirrors and shoulder checking was for...[/QUOTE] Yes it is, and you still have to check then but the chance of a cyclist trying to pass you on the right is almost completely gone if you do it this way.

People that go 30 miles per hour on the ramp leading to a highway/freeway

People that don't turn on their headlights in the early morning or when it's raining.

[QUOTE=Saber15;36122007]People that don't turn on their headlights in the early morning or when it's raining.[/QUOTE] In Norway they must be on at all times when the engine is running

[QUOTE=Saber15;36122007]People that don't turn on their headlights in the early morning or when it's raining.[/QUOTE] Or in parking garages. They're, like, great for seeing if someone is coming around a blind corner.

People who have to slow down to a complete crawl when turning right, or into a driveway. You're not supposed to turn right in the middle of the lane, go to the right.

I hate it when an animal tries to cross the street about 20 meters in front of my car while I'm driving at about 80 km/h and I'm fucking unable to react and brake quickly enough. Yesterday I almost ran over a young wild hare like that when I was in the countryside.

A BIG THING WITH LIGHTS IS COMING TOWARD ME. BETTER RUN IN FRONT OF IT TO GET OUT OF THE WAY.

The power has been going out a few times for a few miles, and no one knows what to do at a powerless stoplight. "Uhhh, i guess i'll just speed through it when the guy in front of me goes." No, it's exactly like a stop sign.

It missed the car by only a couple inches.

Turns out the grill on it is perfectly shaped to catch and hold a dead sparrow until you get home and have to pick it out.

I actually passed a billboard yesterday that said "South Dakota rejects animal rights activists" There are some hilarious anti-animal rights activist signs in this state.

I ran over a pheasant that was just sat in the middle of the lane on a blind bend. Somehow it got up after and sort of half flew off. Luckily it went under the car and didn't fuck up my headlights.

In the same line.
