raton posted:Do they also get mad when you have people over and someone parks in "their" space Anyway all I ask is that people be predictable with their driving and pay attention. If you are going 30 and pass a sign that says 45 and you are still going 30 you are an rear end in a top hat. If you stop to let everyone turn right in front of you despite the fact that they just rolled up and everyone behind you has been stuck in the same mile of road for the past 15 minutes, you are an rear end in a top hat. Stop being nice and take your turn (quickly) when you are supposed to. I'd rather someone go out of turn fast than two idiots playing the "no sir, after you" game for 30 seconds.

I love how everyone seems to forget that snow and ice have an adverse effect on braking distance and that you need to drive accordingly, especially if you've not bothered to swap your "all seasons" for "winter" ones. Last time we had a snow that accumulated more than 3cm it took me 2 hours and 50 minutes to make a 12 minute drive because every intersection, on and off ramp, and gradual turn was plugged with idiots who assumed that their All Wheel Dive vehicles allow them to drive like it's a summer afternoon. Also I was stupid enough to drive into the ditch the snowstorm before because an idiot in a Suburban started to brake waaaaay too late. I was thinking, "oh no! He's going to rear-end me" when I should have been thinking, "Oh yes! I'm going to get rear-ended  "

it's about that time of year that i will see trucks on the side of the road who forgot that we live in michigan and when it snows/sleets/is icy, you better slow the gently caress down. every, single, year, i see a truck who wanted to speed past everybody on the side of the road smashed to poo poo or they hit another car because they forgot black ice is a thing. if you hit black ice on the freeway and start spinning out, it's the scariest thing in the world to go through.

Pewdiepie posted:They don't use road salt in Michigan? we use so much road salt we are rated like #1 in traffic accidents and bad roads nationwide. michigan has the unique problem of not only having some of the dumbest and most unpredictable weather possible, a state government who can't agree on what to do about our roads, and trucks carrying 2.5x the weight limit they would be allowed in other states. our roads are god awful. also, if it just started snowing or sleeting, the trucks aren't even out yet.

It's weird how often people will zigzag into oncoming traffic to pass me for the sake of making a right turn that they could've just made the normal way if they'd stayed behind my car in the lane they were already in and waited an additional eight seconds.

People in my neighborhood like to stop and talk to each other while they're driving their car is down the two-lane road... Like they just loving stop in the street and roll their windows down and have a conversation while their cars are blocking the entire street, which does not have any shoulder whatsoever and so there is literally no way to get around them, and then when I am trying to get to work and interrupt their conversation they flip me off for rudely honking at them when they're trying to talk

raton posted:If there's no one around to signal to or if the fact that I'm doing either of these things is already obvious to everyone I often don't bother, but I drive a ratbox of a Honda. See, this I never understand. Why do you even need to have this consideration in your head? You're guaranteed to gently caress it up sooner or later. Flipping on the signal should just be muscle memory and you should do it every time, it's not hard. Today I hate people who roll through 4 way stops but do it way slower than it would have been to just stop, look, and accelerate

Deal with it. that's fine when you are waiting *unless* you are the first in the line, or if it's not a dedicated left turn lane and you're at the end of the line - then you should have it on. you should also turn it on when making the turn.

raton posted:
I've always been a very defensive driver and I've had only two accidents, neither of which were my fault, and neither of which were avoidable by me in any way, which is absolutely lovely. The first was on the highway when a bucket fell off of the back of a flatbed, bounced off the road, and slammed back down on my hood in JUUUUST the right spot to loving smash open the latch for the hood and cause it to fly up and slam down on my windshield and the roof of my car. It all happened in the span of like 5 seconds at 65+ MPH and I never got the guy's plates so woop insurance didn't give a gently caress. The second was when I was at a stop light, waiting to turn, and a lady in an SUV slammed into me at 60 MPH. The speed limit was 35 MPH. She hit me so hard I hit the person in front of me and the recoil broke my seat and knocked open my glove box. I got out to check on her and exchange insurance information, and she kindly informed me she only had one leg, which I verified was not my fault before she continued to refuse to hand over insurance. The trunk of my car was caved in by three feet from the impact, and she tried to tell the cops she was fully stopped and that I had acted like the light was green so she did, too. Man the look on that's cop face when he walked away from her and looked at the rear of my car was priceless. Insurance at least covered this one but the lady never told her insurance company about the accident, so when I called them to get my money they were like 'whaaaaaat, noooo.' Of course, my Buick took the worst of it and her SUV was basically untouched, and the drat thing had to be totaled.

1) Mother fuckers who roll through stop signs but stop and yield signs even though no one is coming. It is as if they want to violate as many rules as they can. 2) fuckers who leap frog an exit. Usually when there isn't a dedicated exit lane and the exit is backed up so people get off the highway way under speed. Boy howdy, if they don't floor it, pass one car, and then cut right in so close the bumpers butterfly kiss then they might just die.

Kwosge posted:1) Mother fuckers who roll through stop signs but stop and yield signs even though no one is coming. I live on the corner of my block, across the street from a church, even, and people don't give a fuuuuuuuck about stopping. One time a guy yelled at me that he didn't give a gently caress as he sped by in his luxury vehicle with tinted windows. I mean, I did yell that the red sign means stop but apparently that was just too much. Zoe posted:It's weird how often people will zigzag into oncoming traffic to pass me for the sake of making a right turn that they could've just made the normal way if they'd stayed behind my car in the lane they were already in and waited an additional eight seconds. Even worse than this, is the people who creep up on the right through the parking lane (when there's an unmarked area on the street wide enough for two lanes in a direction but only painted for one lane each way, that's the parking lane over there on the right. The giveaway is all the loving parked cars there in front of people's houses and businesses) and pass you, in the intersection, because God forbid they not push their fine German engineering to the limit at all times. I live in Chicago, which apparently passed LA as shittiest place to drive a while back. It's loving rough, and at least half the drivers here couldn't pass a driving exam if their lives depended on it. You don't even take a test when you renew in Illinois. In and out at the DMV, which is nice, but then you have to have to deal with all the poo poo already posted about in the topic. It's like thinking a couple steps ahead is rocket science. You want to move, but also not to brake. When I pass you for the fifth time I just laaaaaugh, I'm not even trying to. I'm also an Uber driver (because I'm a terrible liar to HR people) which means I often have to find a place to park so I can wait for my shitbrained singleton UberPOOL customers to obviously see me because lol if you think they're going to be waiting on the street looking for me. If I can get in an actual spot, to wait, I will but that's not always an option. Everyone is an inconsiderate rear end, basically, except me, I'm cool and good.

Rip Testes posted:2) Idlers (sometimes employing hazards). These lazy individuals that think the fire lane in front of the grocery or the extended sidewalk curb in front of whatever strip mall storefront makes a more convenient parking space than the visibile open space in the lot near to them if they gave poo poo about anyone other than themselves and clogging up traffic in the shopping plaza parking lot. Oftentimes they are seen staring into their smart phones while doing so. Oftentimes it's the driver who leaves their car idling in the fire lane while their passenger sits and waits. In a world without consequences, which these assholes seem to live in, I'd start zip-tying shopping carts to their door handles.

I live off a county highway and shift over to the opposing lane when turning left into my neighborhood. Of course it’s flat and straight and I can see for a mile ahead of me, but people don’t have to slow then behind me. Is this bad? Yelllllllll at me toooo.
