Bad Drivers
on: April 02, 2006, 04:01:17 PM
Ok, so I didn't mean for this thread to be racist or prejudice, but I am so sick of that near accident at the dual turning lane, and the little old granny in the lane over doesnt seem to understand the concept of staying in her own ***ing lane and not cutting me off! >:(

anyway, not that I think it's right to classify people, I have seen some of the worst drivers, and generally speaking, most fall into one or more of the categories I have listed.  What do you think?

Personally, I think Cell Phone users and old people are the worst.

I don't like tailgaters.  or people that rush from stoplight to stoplight.  I think it's funny when they speed past me, have to stop at the light, and I cruise past them because I never had to stop.  I think it makes them mad.  They probably have type A personalities.  It's fun to annoy those people.  hurry up and wait, hurry up and wait.  There's a Blondie song that has those lyrics.  I played that when I passed someone once.  I don't know if they heard it.

Bad drivers should get a huge kick in the @$$, should be chewed up and spit out, and have their licenses revoked.

I tell you what nothing ticks me off more than all these creeps/idiots who have no business driving, causing SO many completely avoidable wrecks, taking so many lives.

TAKE THEIR LICENSES AWAY!!!!!

And then, and only then, maybe I'll muster up enough courage to drive (in the biggest SUV I can find).  ::)

I hate people who pull out in front of me on a two lane highway when I'm going 70 and make me basically stop behind them. This happens all the time. I want to kill them. I hate people who speed up on passing lanes, pass a bunch of people with me, then slow down to the speed of the people they passed when the lane ends. Then there's always the people who don't know that you aren't supposed to be in the passing line unless you are passing, and you have to pass them on the other side. I hate people who can never maintain a constant speed. I also hate people who when entering a 45 mph zone with a 20 mph flashing only sign that isn't flashing slow down to 20 anyway. I hate drivers who have to constantly look at someone in the car when they are talking to them and swerve all around because of it. The list goes on. The main problem is simply stupidity because I've seen people from all categories commit these vile acts. Old people are the worst though, true.

Probably the dutch. Has any non-dutch ever adventured the dutch highways?

Since I am not a car driver I don't really have an idea but I get the impression it is rather poor.
