    A place to rant about the little things that drive you to distraction and prove the world is nuts.....

    I'm driving down the freeway today, doing 60-65 in a 55, going with the flow. Traffic all around. A line of cars in front and behind. Beside me, on my left, is one of those huge idiotic mall finder SUVs (but that's another rant).
    On my right is an entrance ramp, about a mile long, plenty of time to merge correctly.
    And, of course, here comes some idiot trying to enter the highway and expecting me to apply my brakes and slow down the whole lane of traffic cause she doesn't know how to merge. I can see she is going to be right beside me when the ramp runs out.
    So I just maintain my speed, which means she has to slow and enter behind me.
    When I pass, as she slows down, this fat chick gives me the finger...cause of course, I'm being rude.

    This is an example of ego insanity. This person has the idea that she is more important than a whole highway full of cars. And if she wants on the road, by god, we should all go out of our way to let her on.
    Even though she has the merge sign.

    Irritating.

    Sometimes highways seem like ribbons of hate...

    Germany has really good drivers. I barely ever see traffic problems and even the motorways are generally clear, barely even see a broken down car.
    Now in Australia man it's the opposite, no one can merge everyone is in a hurry and then they always get red lights so they get pissed off and go faster and get stopped at the next light.
    If its raining the speeds increase.
    Every clown with a fast car can't corner, they can only go fast in a straight line. They don't know how to take a corner fast. Not saying I do, but I always remember catching them around corners and then they'd blast off again on the next straight.
    And what's the deal with the cunts that are driving slower than you so you wait for an overtaking lane and then when you try to overtake they increase their speed so you have to charge up and around them? Then they go back to sitting 10k under when the lane finishes. =\

    It's a power and control thing. I can't stand the asses that get on a two lane with no passing and have a string of a dozen cars behind them.

    Also, the people that have to almost stop to make a right-hand turn. That makes me yell everytime. lol

    on the other side of the OP's issue, it's pretty annoying when you're trying to merge onto the highway and there's only one other car on the road and they refuse to move over for you.

    and of course those people who come to a complete stop to make a turn.

    and what's with that damn car of the day thread that just won't go away?

    sounds about right

    st louis is probably the scariest drive i ever made through a city


    what peeves me is something most other people dont understand because theyre used to nice multi-laned highways....where i am most of the highways are 2 lane and they have passing lanes (a third lane where you can pass),,,,idiots will drive real slow until you get to the passing sections...then they speed up so you cant pass them...then they slow down again when the lane is ended

    It's usually the same idiots who can't park their over-sized trucks.

    when it's a regular 2 lane road with a double yellow line down the middle, and there's a sign saying "do not pass." if you don't know what a double yellow line means, shouldn't you not be driving anyway?

    You all have it easy. I'd kill to have the frustration of St Louis gridlock again if it means no more curvy roads.

    It's not so much the curvy roads that scare me though, it's the damn coal trucks driving way too fast on them. you're taking a turn then all of a sudden this huge Coal truck's running you off the road and missing you by about( ) that much.

    "Irregardless". What is that? Isn't "regardless" enough? "Irregardless"...would that be "with regard"?

    I've driven in every major city in Australia, in LA, San Francisco, all over New Zealand, in the South Pacific islands and in Tokyo.

    Nobody-and I mean NOBODY-has traffic like Tokyo. Yet the drivers are courteous and patient with a rage level of zero and a road toll that is tiny. LA is full of people in oversize SUVs and trucks who firmly believe that size = right. San Francisco is just a nutjob city, with twists and turns and hills everywhere, but at least the people there can drive.

    Australians.....are shocking, truly appalling drivers. And the worst are in my home city of Adelaide. Here are the Adelaide road rules for men

    1 Don't ever yield a position on the road. If you do, your penis will atrophy and drop off.

    2 Mirrors are for perving on following drivers. Don't look in them for any other purpose.

    3 People in European cars are to be jeered at.

    4 Toot your horn at any opportunity. When you're leaving a party at 3am is a good time.

    5 Drive in the fast lane at 10-15 kph (7-10 mph) under the speed limit. If anyone behind you flashes their lights, speed up to the IDENTICAL speed of the car in the slow lane next to you. Laugh maniacally.

    6 Slow down to 1 kph to turn. Always.

    7 Indicators are optional. Their use may cause penis shrivelling (see #1)

    8 Tailgate everyone in wet conditions. It's THEIR fault if you smash into their rear end (aka "doing a Liberace"-a hit up the bottom)

    9 Speed up for yellow lights. Slowing down may cause you to wear pink and care about your feelings.

    10 Drink drivers aren't criminals, they are legends.

    Here are the rules for women

    1 Drive like a man.
