[Snkfanatic]

Anyone that uses their wipers at full speed during a sprinkle.

My god I am not the only one haha. I always wonder why someone has their wipers set to maximum flail whenever it is just sprinkling out.

 

[Vilix]

LOL! I need to go buy a Bemer. Probably put a Rubio/Cruz 2016 sticker on the back bumper.

 

[LycanXIII]

My god I am not the only one haha. I always wonder why someone has their wipers set to maximum flail whenever it is just sprinkling out.

Those drivers cause me more of a distraction than the rain on the windshield.

 

[FelixOrion]

Can I put people who ride crotch rocket motorcycles?

 

[Rory]

Brand new Audi's.

Almost always driven by a cap-wearing 18/19 year old drugdealing scumbag. They seem to have completely replaced BMW's in that regard.

 

[lethial]

I drive a lot. The shittiest drivers I encounter are usually in 350z's and BMWs.

 

[Omegasquash]

LOL they are indeed.

I could not disagree more with that statement however.

We see things from the same standpoint.

 

[Omegasquash]

Also, pickup trucks tend to be assholes about tail gating and shit. I figure this is mostly just hillbilly behavior though.

Oh GOD....this. I like to drive 5 MPH above the speed limit in the fast lane and stay there when getting tailgated. It makes them crazy.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Trucks with lift kits.

Always a redneck. Always an asshole.

Thanks for the generalization asshole.

 

[Forsete]

Drivers of German cars (MB, BMW, VAG) and Saabs. Always speeding, zigzagging or sniffing your ass.

4x4 drivers in the snow. For some reason they drive the slowest.

 

[Stinkles]

Thanks for the generalization asshole.

Put a chrome ballsack on it so you break the stereotype forever.

Put a chrome ballsack on it so you break the stereotype forever.

Folks with the nutsack are the worst. What they fail to realize is that they are literally compensating for something in the eyes of everyone else on the road.

 

[SLV]

Well here it is, the video is just a joke, and i was bored xD Nothing much to see anyway. But it gas a GAF sunset and all. So watch it ! Minivan/rap car haters ;( 720 or 1080p obiously.

Don't do this.

You may get a laugh out of it but you are making yourself a hazard and ruining the flow of traffic for everyone else. It's not your responsibility to deal with other people's driving errors, just get out of their way. It's safer for you, them, and everyone around you.

 

[-NeoTB1-]

I've seen idiots in all types of vehicles, but the ones that annoy me most are people who paste their bumpers and back windows with stickers. If I cared what you think about ______, I'd ask you.

I won't do it on a crowded road or during rush hour...I should have made that clear. As long as it inconveniences the douchebag only, I'll keep doing God's Work. There have been cases when I'm doing 70 because there's no one around, and someone will tailgate the shit out of me when they can go around without issue.

Fuck those guys.

 

[SpecX]

I have to admit, BMW drivers tend to be the worse I see on the road. They swear they own the road and have to right to do as they please. I don't get all the hate for pickup trucks though. Unless you casually drive a 1 ton pickup and never use it for what it's really built for, a 1/2 ton pickup is acceptable and not uncommon for suburban homeowners.

If the right lane is clear enough where you can move over you are legally required to do so. It's also illegal to pass on the right so they can't just go by.

Long story short don't sit in the left lane like you own the place, it is for passing only.

Edit: Let me add this. I often come up on people sitting in the left lane. I'll close a little bit so they know I'm there and moving faster, then fall back and quickly flash my lights. I'll wait about 1.5 seconds behind them, then flash my lights again. If they don't move over then I'll pass on the right but I really don't like doing it. So stay out of the lane unless you need to be there.

So you're purposely breaking the law and inviting a possible road rage incident?

Yes, in most countries.

So you're saying that someone going too fast can't be arsed to slow the fuck down? Letter of the law is letter of the law, I get it, but I'm sorry...if someone expects me to move just because they're going faster then I've got a surprise, because tailgating is rude and dangerous.

So you're purposely breaking the law and inviting a possible road rage incident?

Better let an asshole be an asshole, right? Already said I wouldn't do it during rush hour, but if someone is speeding like a wild man and expects me to move? Dose of reality, then. Tailgating is rude, asshole. Have some of your own medicine.

Which makes you a reasonable driver and not rude about it. My beef is with people that speed outside of reason, in this case.

 

[David Incorporated Esq.]

Illegal to pass on the right?

Yes. In the USA it is illegal to pass another car on their right, so if someone is sitting in the left lane going slower than you there is no legal way to pass them.

Funny timing on this thread, this was on Jalopnik today: http://jalopnik.com/what-is-one-thing-every-driver-needs-to-know-458698311

 

[Vyer]

Trucks with lift kits.

Always a redneck. Always an asshole.

Anyone with a modified exhaust system. Your Honda Civic is not a F1. Stop trying to make it sound like one.

I spend a lot of the time on the road and...yup. Frequently aggressive dipshits.

Also, people that ride Harley's. They always have yo revv them and they're beyond loud. It's impossible to have a conversation with somebody while they're next to you.

I've found Harley riders to be pretty respectable and laid back. Enjoying the road.

Crotch rocket guys though....smh. Aggressive, swerving through traffic, going crazy speeds. Fatality accident waiting to happen.

Yes. In the USA it is illegal to pass another car on their right, so if someone is sitting in the left lane going slower than you there is no legal way to pass them.

I believe that only applies when leaving the roadway/moving to the shoulder. For example on two lane roads.

[Josh7289]

I encounter a higher-than-average rate of pickup truck drivers who are assholes, ignoring stop signs and such.

But there are many many more who are good drivers.

This, so much. I drive on this road a lot (use street view to see what I'm talking about). It splits off at the top of the hill right after a sharp left hander and way too many drivers move quickly over to the left lane when there are cars behind that would love to overtake them. You should never drive (or cruise I guess) in the left lane, only move over there when overtaking, letting someone onto the road, there is a lot of traffic or when the road splits.

 

[Malvolio]

Cars with dealer plates. Car dealers are some of the most aggressive and obnoxious drivers on the roads. Even more so if it's a "luxury" brand.

 

[cooljeanius]

Massholes speeding in their SUVs

 

[Archer]

Every single cyclist on the road is a cunt. Fuck cyclists. Arrogant wankers the whole lot of them.

yes.

cyclists deserve this, nothing more:

Those nutsacks are the worst thing on the road.

You're not the police so stop acting like you need to bring forth some justice.

if a driver wants to fly in the fast lane, it's their choice to do so. If there is no rush hour traffic as you claim, why are you in the fast lane anyway?

 

[David Incorporated Esq.]

I believe that only applies when leaving the roadway/moving to the shoulder. For example on two lane roads.

Obviously that's illegal, but on four lane roads/highways it is illegal to use a lane to the right to pass and you can only do it if the person in the left lane is making a left turn.

 

[Carnby]

Subaru. I hate everything about them. I hate their name. I hate their advertisements. I hate their logo. And I hate the people who drive them.

You have a bad attitude and you purposefully react poorly to other people's bad driving behaviors to aggravate hostile situations. Great job.

Hmm. Seems to me the cops would be ticketing endlessly if that's the case. Do you have a link to this law anywhere?

 

[fleck0]

Another point for pickup trucks in the city. Bonus because the undoubtedly well endowed gentleman I have to park next to in my apartment complex has the cleanest, largest monster truck tires on it ever.

Same dude also has a de-muffled motorcycle, he's eye-rollingly cliche

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

LOL wtf.

 

[Flo_Evans]

Everyone that has a nicer, more expensive car than mine.

Also everyone that has a shittier, cheaper car than mine.

In short, everyone.

 

[David Incorporated Esq.]

Like usage of turn signals, it's a law that's never enforced but should be. Just google "Legal to pass on the right in X state?" since I think some states it's not a law.

Edit: Passing on the right is illegal because it's more dangerous; people aren't expecting faster moving traffic on the right and generally spend less time checking to the right before changing lanes.

Double Edit: I did your work for you. Here's the law in Texas:

(a) An operator may pass
to the right of another vehicle only if conditions permit safely
passing to the right and:
(1) the vehicle being passed is making or about to make
a left turn; and
(2) the operator is:
(A) on a highway having unobstructed pavement not
occupied by parked vehicles and sufficient width for two or more
lines of moving vehicles in each direction; or
(B) on a one-way street or on a roadway having
traffic restricted to one direction of movement and the roadway is
free from obstructions and wide enough for two or more lines of
moving vehicles.

Why can't you just move over if you see them approaching you quickly? Whenever I'm in the left lane and I see someone is coming up on me pretty quick, I switch over to the right, let them pass and then just go back over.

 

[David Incorporated Esq.]

Because those people are going faster than him, which means they're reckless and deserve punishment.

It's an attitude I've seen from a lot of people: "Anyone faster than me is reckless; anyone slower than me is a grandma."

 

[Stinkles]

I won't do it on a crowded road or during rush hour...I should have made that clear. As long as it inconveniences the douchebag only, I'll keep doing God's Work.

Fuck those guys.

You have the moral highground, no doubt, but can I ask you a favor? And ask you to get out of that lane, because the idiot you are annoying will crash his car in an indiscriminate fashion or hit my car when he tries to veer around you.

 

[Wthermans]

Trucks/SUVs

Waste of resources and cause far too much damage to the roadways compared to cars.

 

[BigBlue1974]

Any non-business pickup truck. I give them a pass as they're generally being driven for work purposes, hauling lumber, tools, etc, and their drivers generally aren't too bad.

People who drive trucks for pleasure in the city, though...jesus. Not only do they barely seem aware of how much space their vehicle takes up on the road, they drive more aggressively than SUV drivers and tailgate like motherfuckers. God help you if you're a pedestrian near one of those.

Bonus points if they're jacked up and have oversize offroad tires that will likely never see actual dirt. Those ones are guaranteed to have an asshat behind the wheel.

Perfectly said, including the part about non-business trucks. The ones driven by businesses are almost always behaved.

Also, the worse the driving conditions such as snow and ice, the bigger the assholes they become.

Yeah, it's legal here unless I'm reading incorrectly.

I know why it's ideal, I just dont think it's actually illegal in most places. A quick check of four or five states and it seems legal there too but I'm curious now so I might look around a bit.
