Another Driving Peeve That May End Me For Good

[TheFalls]

Everyone thinks they are a good, smart, fast, efficient driver these days. Everyone.
We already know about the idiot in the left lane going the speed limit and the cracker in the right hand lane at the light that's not turning right and is costing you hours of your life over time..

Well...now everyone...every single one...when approaching a light wants to change lanes just before the light if it's open so that they are not behind another person at the light.
They always pull in front of you.
In fact, I do this.
This isn't too, too bad in itself...the problem is when they end up going really slow at the green light.
They typically move over at that light so that they can go faster than the person they would have been behind...and then they go slow or get blown out by that person.
This is an example of stupid.
My life is about efficiency...so this pisses me off pretty good.

I now try and speed up to any light so that no jacks can get a chance to make this move. It could spell my end. I may eventually just have to stick to public transportation where I no longer care at all.

I split lanes at a red light on my Harley to get in front and the guy behind me tried to run me down! Splitting lanes is legal in California!

The Falls i am completely with ya .. i have NO Problem even someone cutting me off , or pulling in front of just do not drive slow, speed in fact, and do not stop to let someone else go (don't cut me off to be nice to someone else and slow me down) .. heres what I used to do as a teen, it ended in a few face-offs when i was younger when we both ended up at the same gas station or parking lot a quarter mile down road..

someone cuts me off without blinka (signal light) ... then i speed up , cut the off and do this ..
left blinka 3 seconds.. right blinka 3 seconds.. hazards 3 seconds.. repeat again.. left blinka 3 seconds , right blinka 3 seconds..hazards 3 seconds..then no blinka.. look in my rearview yell its called a fucking blinka and fire a middle finger fuck you at them.. then hit the gas and speed like i was before the asshole cut me off

Jackwagons going speed limit in left lane still my gripe

 

[michael777]

how about when they cut in front of you,the light turns red,you are stuck behind them,they are going straight,you are going right,you could turn right on red but can't because of them!!!

I get cut off in my truck by Prius jack wagons all the time. No clue how they think they are going to do 75, 80 mph !

nice.

what can we do for the people that drive with brights on? right behind you?
bite the bullet, slow down, and get behind them and put your brights on?
I need to just become reclusive to avoid all this

ya...i kind of touched on this...but this kind of action is bump worthy for me...i've gotten very close to losing it and just ramming this person.
I drive my wife's old 03 Accord...so I'm not sweating it.

In residential areas...you have no business being in the right hand lane unless you are turning within 500 feet. Makes no sense in any sense.

People who wait for all lanes to be clear when merging because they have to make a left. Merge so that traffic keeps flowing and then move over. It's not hard.

Just get a $500 Passport Max 2 radar detector and go as fast as you want whenever you want.

I remember I went around this old man because he was driving slow. After I went around him I caught the light. Looked in the rear view mirror and he was clapping, giving me a round of applause.

I've successfully been using Waze since 2009 to keep me out of tickets while consistently going at least 30% over the posted speed limit...but i'm tempted to get a detector to eliminate all stress.

I thought police laser technology had made these radar detectors useless? seems like you always have to be upgrading?

Hey, falls you are an athletic driver, very poetic , i have exactly same thought process in chicago traffic.

[Greenbacks]

Good stuff guys....lol

 

[flashmo]

People turning left the same time you are turning right and they don't turn into the proper lane, they swing way over into your lane, almost hit you then honk and give you a dirty look like you did something wrong turning right into the right hand lane

My God man..I'm with you..I'm pretty sure my life will end with me trying to prevent someone from getting in front of me or beating me to some position at a light....ahhh how often I look over at my wife, white knuckled with a look of disdain on her face...when I comes to driving I find myself determined to right all road wrongs..maybe PT is the way to go...
