Driving pet peeves

[jambo101]

 These after market bright headlights that make you think the oncoming car has his brights on then you make the mistake of giving him a quick flash where upon he delights in blinding you with his real high beams.

My new car has those kind of lights on it and I think it's just weird. I don't really like it. Plus, you have to set them to have day running lights, so sometimes I'm driving in the dark and then realize that I don't have my headlights on.

Another peeve, bicyclists who insist on driving in the road when theres a bike path right beside the road.

People who live in a state where there's snow a good portion of the year who forget how to drive in it.  I don't care if they go ditch diving, but I wish they'd quit trying to take everyone else out with them as they skid across lanes of traffic.

In my state, bicyclists are legally entitled to use the entire road, and are not required to use a bike path even if one is available. In many cases, I find that the bike path is dangerous ... broken glass, potholes, protruding landscaping, trash cans blocking it, etc.

When I am driving, I make a special point to give bicyclists as much space as I can, and if that means I need to use my brakes or change lanes, then I do so. To me, it's the courteous thing to do.

People following so friggin close that I want to pop my trunk and tell them to just hop in and I'll get them to wherever it is they are going. But get off my ass

I've seen this sticker around :" if you're gonna ride my ass, at least pull my hair!"

I hate hate it when people drive below speed limit on the fast lane(left lane) and you have to either pass them on the right or go so close that you force them to change lanes or just simply wait until they get off the phone!
And that happens mostly in areas clearly marked with "slow traffic keep right!"

I do this too.  And where I live, they are also entitled to use the road, same as cars.

People that speed up to get to a red light and then jam on the brakes.   I don't know why but that annoys me.

I love it. As for people doing the speed limit I hate people who do not do the speed limit. I don't care which lane they are in. I think they are more dangerous than people who speed.

I never learned to ride a bike but everytime there is someone on the road on a bicycle or motorcycle, I try to give them their space.
When following a motorcycle on the highway I'm always keeping a safe distance to them since they can stop on a shorter distance than I can.
I respect their choice. At least they are doing more than I to keep themselves in shape and protect the environment.

I am the same way with motocycles. I find that I really can't judge their speed as well as a cars speed. We don't have a lot of bicycles on the roads I travel - they would be crazy if they did!! But do come across some once in a while and they to get a wide berth from me.

People that honk their horn at you when you are pulling out of a parking spot rather than waiting for you to pull out. My car has horrible blind spots, I am dependent on my backup camera. This am. I am pulling out of a spot (between 2 cars)at the grocery store, and this car honks at me. I stopped and they pulled through and went to the last spot in the row and pulled in and sat there. WTF. They were in a rush to just park their car? They couldn't wait for someone to pull out?

Also annoying are the people that feel a need to really go fast when driving down aisles in a parking lot.  Why?  It is a prescription for an accident.  I see this at the mall frequently.
