|
|
|
ARGG am I the only one p****d off to no extent by these inconsiderate a******s who never use your turn signals? They should f*****g start pulling over people and giving them tickets for this. I just ended up sitting in my car at the college waiting for like 10 minutes because every person who pulled in didn't use a turn signal so I had no idea if I could go or wait for them to pass by.
And it seems this happens every f*****g day. And all one of these a******s had to do was move their wrist 1 f*****g inch and pull the little stick up. But NOOO that's too much effort, they were too busy j*********f with their left hand I guess. Why is it that most people never use their turn signals? Do they just figure that the rest of us folks have suddenly learned telepathy and are able to read their minds as to which way they are going?
I f*****g hate driving, I can't wait till im a millionare and have a chauffeur to drive me around.

I have to agree 110%
The only time I want to get out and slap someone up the side of the head is the f**k who stops instantly turns with no warning and so on
and if you are one the the knobs who don't use turn signals each time you turn don't be surprised one day if you end up with someone showed up your ass because they didn't know you were going to slow down instantly and turn........
This also goes with the a******s who sit at a light or intersection and you are sitting beind them and the light turns green and they decide to turn their blinker on and then you have to wait 3 minutes for them to go........

I use my turn signals to tell the guy in front of me which side I'm going to pass him on, so he doesn't do something stupid. Other than that, using turn signals is like giving away your hand in poker.
But then I have to drive in Boston. I got stopped once in Ohio, and the cop said "Oh, you're from Massachusetts; that explains it. We don't drive that way around here". He just gave me a warning

And if you dont use your turn signal, and someone rear ends you because of it, you win the law suit. Because he hit you.

That's funny. Although I have to admit that sometimes I tend to look at driving in traffic as kind of a race too.

People that 'camp' in driving lanes waiting for parking spots to open need to be shot anyways, signal or not. Lazy fat choads can't even stand to walk a little, just gotta have 'that perfect spot!'
Also, I hate the idiots who come to a complete stop in the left-hand lane before driving into the left-hand turn lane to make their turn. Just shows a complete lack of intelligence and understanding of how the world works.

So true, so true.
I use my signals everywhere except Manhattan or Brooklyn. If you let the opposition know where you plan on going, they will attempt to cut you off. Its best to keep them guessing and just step on the gas.

Even if you don't use your turn signal and someone does hit you.. they shouldn't have been following so closely.. so chances are the person who's behind will get the blame.. in my opinion[/quote]

Yeah i hate those non-turn signal f**s... It's one thing to skip using it when nobody's near you or on the freeway, but when people need to know your plans so they can make a left out of some parking lot, you cost them time needlessly.
I really hate slow people in the fast lane. Why must these people drive 5 under in that lane?

You are suppose to wait and see what the vehicule in front of you will do.
flashers or not YOU are the one that needs to be careful when you follow a vehicule.
Even if the car in front of you decide to turn at the last sec its no problem if your not an ass kisser driver. *kind of driver that stop at 1-2 feet from you*.
Its all about learning to guess what the others might do.
The worse drivers are those who hesitate.
exemple : hmmm ok its flashing green im going!!!!! oops..not sure...do I wait..*meanwhile in the middle of the damn way* ok guess I go on...
Almost had 2 accdient ...

I hate the f*****s on the freeway that cut into my lane, and turn their signal on halfway between lanes. Like that really helps.

There is nothing more exciting then being in the far right lane and seeing an Old beat up Cadi barrleing towards you from 5 lanes left of you going 65mph in a 35mph zone weaving back and forth with the front end bouncing in the air just so some old b*****d wont miss the enterence to HEB food store. guess he just got his food stamps and needed beer and cigs before they closed. God I love America were the poorpeople can buy $50 worth of beer and cigs for them selves and a loaf of bread and peanut buter for there 5 kids Nearly killing them in the process. Jut my thought on a Fubar society.

You can't buy alcohol with food stamps. No, I'm not poor ;p I used to work at Albertson's ^^
Pretty sure you can't get cigs either w/ them, could be wrong though.

Wrong Manuva.
The person that hits you WILL get the blame. If you hit a car on the backside, its almost guarenteed that you'd lose the lawsuit. Excepting maybe if that person was driving backwards down the wrong way of a highway at 90 mpg while drunk and has 3 dead hookers in his trunk, taped up with the remnants of a child pornography tape of his 12 yr old daughter. Then i think you'd be safe.
The judge will ask you why you didnt have time to stop, since it's your responsibility to NOT hit the car infront of you. Not his to keep you from hitting him.

I dont understand why you f*****s have to go 10-15 over the speedlimit.. When Im going 45 in a 45 road, or 45 in a 40 roade, everyone is going 55-60. Why? I try and block people in that are trying to to over it; believe it or not hte speed limit is there for a reason, and if I p**s you off with my legal driving speed, f**k off jack ass.

I hate people who speed up and pass you then go slower than you were originally driving. Also people who insist on taking the right-of-way when it isnt theirs.
It sounds like mental_hernias a piece of shit driver too

What the hell makes you say that? I am a great driver compared to essentially everyone else my age; arrogance not included. I always use my turn signal. -ALWAYS-
I am the last person who will ever get in an accident due to my own actions; I cant help if someone else causes it.

I didnt mean youre not good at it (because I have no idea)
but you seem like an a*****e if you block people for going over the speed limit. I think its pretty easy to still drive safely if youre going 10-15 miles over the speed limit (sometimes more if its a freeway and theres no one in your lane).
for example.. Theres a street by my house thats a 35mph street but I usually go 40-50 on it because it just had sidewalks on the side, no hidden driveways, no intersections etc. so I could see ahead of someone else was on the road and it would be pretty much impossible for someone to just "appear" out of no where on it so I go fast.

Freeway, interstate, highway, service road are all exceptions; you're crazy and retarted if you go 50 on a 50 interstate and everyone else is going 75; in places like that its suicide not to stay with the traffic.
But in... not even sure what the term would be, but 2 lane roads where there is a set speed limit and lots of turn offs, the speed limit is there for a f*****g reason. If you were supposed to go 55-60, why do you think they made the limit 45? It literally saves you an extra 30 seconds from light to light by going that fast; 30 seconds isnt enough to make you not late for a meeting or basically anything else you're going to do.
That p****s me off, as well as f*****s that go 50 down a neighborhood road; like where driveways all exit down into the road and kids can play all the time; What the f**k are you thinking?
Im an ass for blocking your path? Thats one of hte few occasions that I really dont care if Im an ass or not. Limit is a limit, and if you don't want to abide by it, then I'll force you to

I pass idiots like you, get infront then take my foot off the gas. I just slow down to a crawl, 100% of the time they stop following me at 12 miles an hr and move into the other lane. Then I flick a cigar butt at them and speed up:)

MH, you're more likely to cause an accident by aggressively blocking than you are by speeding. Much, much more likely actually.

Ok, this is what I've gathered from my few years of driving...
When someone wants to go really fast in a slow range..let them go..
Always use turn signals..no matter what...
Don't stare at hot chicks too long...
If you want to go fast in a slow lane, make sure you don't just rush around people all crazy like...judge and anticipate, be patient, and try to take the race when you find an opening.
Stay off people's asses...just don't get on people's asses, it doesn't make them move faster and you put yourself in position to f**k up more than just your vehicle/body, it just p****s people off and it really doesn't help anything.
Just f*****g relax...
Leave early...everywhere you go, plan for traffic, accidents, any road condition.. If you are punctual, you wont have to worry about driving fast or crazy drivers, just let them go.
When someone asks you directions at a stop light, make sure you give them the wrong ones, unless she's hot, then you just give her directions to your house.
uhh...I think that's it.

Good list Syke. Here's what I've learned...
If the car in front of you has a bumper sticker that says "Easy Does It", get in front of them and then slam on your brakes...
If you're going through a rotary, most insane person has the right of way. Pound on your steering wheel, throw your head around and laugh like you're insane and people will make room for you...
When you're overtaking someone doing 50 mph more than they are, watch for the "flinch" when they j**k the wheel slightly - that means they've seen you in the rearview mirror and it's safe to pass on whichever side fits your immediate strategy..
If you're on a two lane road overtaking two cars driving next to each other at 50 mph more than they're doing, watch for them both to flinch. If they do, it's safe to "split" them and go right between them - they'll move to the sides. It's very important not to flinch yourself however, or they might think you'll slow down if they don't move..
If you want to drive someone off the road (elderly person you're trying to convince they're too old to drive, or someone who just needs a lesson), get in front of them, slow down imperceptibly using your hand brake until they're a lot closer than they realise, then slam on your brakes. If you want to collect insurance let them hit you, otherwise speed up again and see if they do 360s off the road. For the sake of other drivers don't do this if there are a lot of other cars around..
If someone is driving toward you with high beams on at night, flip yours on too and shift completely into their lane so you're driving straight at them..
If a big truck is being a pain in the ass, get in front of them and just go slower and slower until you come to a complete stop, and they do too. Then take off - it takes them forever to get going..
When fighting for posession of a lane, use anything at your disposal. I once forced someone to back off by wailing the crap out of his passenger window with a raquetball raquet while driving side by side in the same lane.
If someone is going to slow and you can't pass or move them over, just lean on your horn and let it sound constantly nonstop until they move. This may take five or ten minutes...
Oh yeah - courtesy is important. If you've been driving for awhile and noticed someone else who seems to be as good a driver as you, but they've gotten themself jammed into a situation they can't easily get out of, it's ok to give them a break and let them out. I allot a quarter of a second - I'll forbear cutting them off that long to give them a chance to extricate themselves. You gotta give respect sometimes; it's only right..
Gosh, I don't know - there's so many little techniques you just pick up through experience. The important thing is just to relax and have fun.
