I hate stupid drivers.

[GodDrivesA240sx]

Why is it people don't think when they are driving their vehicles? The thing that probably pisses me off the most is people crossing over 2 lanes in heavy traffic (like crossing northbound lanes to get to the southbound lane). First I'm sure it's not that hard to take a right and find a light to to cross at, I seem to do fine. Second, just because one guy stopped to let you out doesn't mean the other guy comming from 100ft at 50 mph back even knows your their. Most times the guy comming up can't see you getting ready for to cross the lanes of traffic. So what happends? T-bone crash. I found out that in the state of Alabama when this occurs the people at fault are the guy who stopped to let the car come across the lane, and the car that's crossing the lane. That's great I think. Punish dumbasses who try to be nice, but end up ruining two cars. Then those bastards just drive off. I drew a diagram of what I'm talking about since I'm tired and am not making much since

[sxse]

I hate dumb drivers too. But I also just cant stand dumb people in general

[Zebrahead]

Haha. The middle finger is key. I'd say about 80% of drivers are fuc*ing dipsh*ts. They have no consideration for other drivers, and tend to fu*k you over plenty.

man, thats one thing that pisses me off, stupid *** ppl, some ppl are just idiots and do whatever and think nothing can happen to them good example!!!! I think we need to......

I dont get what is up with some of them who run redlights and everything else. My good friend, he has a nice car, a cheverolet cavaliar, well was nice, couple days ago a 43 yeard old woman ran a redlight and knocked the front end of his car off. It was laying down the road. You would think that the way older drivers would have some common sense that when the light is red, you stop. Anyways, his car is being estimated on the damage. I'm just glad he didnt get hurt.

[PalmerWMD]

There is a spot near base where the delivery drivers in van almost always run the red.I swear if I sat there just for a couple of cycles during rush hour I could see one running it.

Fred...

[TrueSlide]

old drivers are the worse, i guess majority of them have some type of memory lose when they sit in a vechicle, cause all common sense to seem to go out the window.

Oh ya, ppl in stolen vechicles piss me off 2, especially when they have a big *** stolen SUV and back right into your 240 while your in a place eating and u see it happen and see them fly off, that really gets the blood boiling!!!:devil :devil :devil

[red240ne]

old people do suck a big one. an old lady here in lincoln caused a 10 car wreck on the main street here. she said she lost control and she hit the car in the lane next to her(ya OK!!):rolleyes anyways, it was one of those pile up type accidents because everone in this city tailgates. they had to close the most important street in our city for 3 hours because of some 87 year old lady. oh yea, she was the only one that got hurt.

[wingzero]

oh well, that's what they get for being old people. but at least old people are courteous most of the time. Its high school kids who drive around wrecklessly in their parents bmw that pisses me of the most.

[driftaholic]

today i drivin along and i see this old taurus about to pull out in front of me but it's waitin. i guess the dumb lady drivin it was waitin for me to get closer so she could pull out RIGHT in front of me or somethin cause that's what she did. i didn't have time to slow down or anything so i had to pass her on the left to keep from hittin her and then swerve back over to keep from hittin people in the other lane. crazy i tell you. then she got next to me at a stop light and tried glaring at me like it was my fault! arggh

[Bubba1]

Wing is right. Old people are not the worst drivers overall, it's teenaged boys. The tetosterone fueled Fast n Furiuos wannabe crowd in their riced up mom-mobiles with add-on triple wings, loud mufflers, K&N filters (for that "extra power"), andbig trunk mounted subwoofers cranked all the way up so the windows rattle, are far more likely to do something stupid than a slow and more predictable old fart in a Taurus. Insurance companies agree with me because teenaged boys have the highest insurance rates of all demographics. Although stupidity crosses all demographics, teenaged boys are particularly dangerous because of their lack of driving experience and the "hey I'm great driver, look at all the kills I have" crap. I both laugh and cringe when I read the threads where a kid writes aoubt about his 3 accidents and 4 tickets in 18 months of driving yet considers himself a good driver.

[MaineExport]

Your artwork is awesome GDA!

[AZhitman]

The situation you described is illegal in AZ (the "good deed" driver gets the ticket).

On a side note:

The Arizona RepublicNov. 9, 2002

PHOENIX - Police have decided not to recommend a manslaughter charge for the elderly hit-and-run driver who killed a 15-year-old boy on a bike.

Investigators recommended that Lila Swanson, 72, be charged with leaving the scene of a fatal accident and turned over their completed investigation Friday to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office.

The county will review the report and decide what charges, if any, will be filed in connection with the Oct. 11 wreck that killed Daniel Robeson, who would have turned 16 today. A decision could take weeks because cases involving suspects in custody are given priority, said Maricopa County Attorney spokesman Bill FitzGerald.

Robeson's family is glad police are seeking the felony charge, said his mother, Guadalupe Robeson, shortly after creating a roadside memorial where Daniel was killed. She is still struggling to make sense of the accident.

"We can't understand it; maybe she's out of her mind," she said of Swanson. "There's many other kids and people out there, and she could do the same thing again."

Detective Gary Lipko said police did not recommend a manslaughter charge because Swanson was not speeding or impaired when she hit the boys on Lower Buckeye Road near 59th Avenue.

"Should she have seen them? We think she should have. Was she reckless? No," Lipko said. "She knew she was involved in some sort of collision, and the law clearly states you have to stop when you're in a collision."

When Swanson hit them, Robeson was standing on pegs attached to the back of a bicycle powered by his friend, Allen Enriquez, 14. Police believe Robeson's head hit the windshield, partially shattering it and killing him instantly. Enriquez suffered minor injuries.

Police say Swanson, who was found at a casino hours after the crash, knew she hit something and failed to stop.

The valet workers at Harrah's Ak-Chin Casino noticed severe damage to her 1996 Buick Park Avenue and asked her if she wanted to call police. She declined, Lipko said.

An off-duty Pinal County Sheriff's deputy saw the car, which had a damaged windshield, hood and front light. "Biological evidence" was found on the partially shattered windshield.

Steve Suskin, Swanson's attorney, said she thought debris flew up from the road and hit her windshield or that something was thrown at her car.

"She was truly devastated when police told her what she had hit on the road that night," he said. "She remains shaken and in her own sense of shock about it since."

I fully intend to (as a concerned citizen) make contact with the CA as well as this woman (they published her name) until she cracks...

[chrispy]

Hey i like the diagram

[MikeS14240sx]

Hey GodDrivesA240sx i know exactly what you mean. The same thing happened to me when i had my accident in my eclipse. The person in the right lane wasn't stopped but they were going really slow. the kid pulling across didn't really even look and pulled out. But i t-boned him going 55 mph. glad to hear you didn't wreck your car. I was so pissed off i was ready to start beating the crap out the kid when he was still in his car.:icesangel

oh yea the kid i hit was only 16, he had his drivers license for 3 months and already had a speeding ticket and had already been the cause of a minor accident before mine.

[that180guy]

I feel ya on ****ty drivers. Like when im blinking into a lane thats clear, next thing ya kno, sum idiot is merging at the same time as my ***. Happens 2 me all the time, especially in the morning in traffic.

[TrueSlide]

AZ that article is so ****ed up, they need to press a felony charge against the old hag, not like it will matter she will probley be dead in a few years anyways, but my god she hit and killed someone!!! Ok so she was not speeding is what makes it ok? Thats BS, it should be a crime if someone can get in there car and fuggin hit someone and not know it, their license needs to be taken away, they need a eldery test, when someone reaches about 60yrs they need to take a vigirious driving test, its just like old people to not see everything, but now because the old hag couldn't see she killed some innocent kid and went to the fuggin casino(like it matters anyways if she wins she will be dead in a few years anyway)

I hate stupid ppl and stupid drivers!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sultan]

now i'm not saying he's a stupid driver but one of my relatives in PA is legally blind and got a valid drivers license. he always drives with his wife in the car, though. i think he might lose his license soon because his eye doctor, who said he could see good enough to drive, died recently. states need more effective rules for drivers licenses, instead of having licenses good for 6 yrs, in TX, and then letting you renew without going back to DMV, i think anyone over 55 should have shorter periods before going to DMV and getting tested again.

[GodDrivesA240sx]

Old people are a major problem around here. 80% of them have vultures flying around their cars because they could die at any second. ( maddox.xmission.com ) They all drive buicks, brake constantly, think I owe them something because I'm younger then they are, brake going uphill, get mad at me when they **** up, and countless other things. One of the things they seem to be the worst at is pulling out into traffic, and THEN noticing an oncomming car. Instead of hitting the gas and getting all the way out, or across, they just slam on the brakes and stop in the middle of the lane, as if you can just hit a button and jump right over their car. Then there's plenty of old people that turn their signal on 3 or 4 turns ahead of the turn they actually want. This almost caused me to wreck one day. I see the old bastard turn on his signal and start slowing down (even slower than 20 mph he was already going, in a 35) So I figure I'll just go ahead and take his word for it. Well I pull out and he lays on the horn, so I'm like retard I should have known, and stomp on the gas in the wrong lane and move to get over, but the bastard realised he had a gas pedal and hit it, not letting me over. So I drove in the wrong lane of traffic for some seconds before I finally got ahead enough to get infront of him. :rant

BTW I believe buicks do not come with gas pedals, and cadalics have optional gas pedals

[big jon's 240]

Try coming to Augusta, GA this town is nothing but old drivers, soccer moms, with tanks (SUV,s) armed with the deadly cell phone (they are the worst), and punk kids in ****ty civics who feel the need to do mach 3 in a 45. And then there is billy bob in his 1973 raised pick-up, confederate flag mud flaps waiving, who wants to race the "city slicker" in his "rice rocket" (me), and you dont even try, you just laugh becuase his piece of **** truck barely runs, let alone take on my 240 or my RSX. And then throw in your average GA driver who got his licence out of a cereal box, and its only a matter of time before someone totals your nice ride. Dont get me wrong, everyhwere you go there are shi*** drivers, it just seems like there are more in GA (im not originaly from GA, thank you very much!) Thank you all for listening, i feel much better now.:help

[Get240DiZzY]

I wasn't even aware civics could do 45 :rolleyes

What about the dumbasses that travel at 50 mph right next to stopped cars? Oh wait, you described yourself as one of them. Keep in mind that you could be found partially at fault if you speed in many situations. And by speeding, I'm referring to the basic speed law, so it could be lower than the posted limit. And I would completely disagree that the person who stopped to let a car through has any fault. He's done nothing wrong. The driver of the car pulling out has made the choice to pull out, and bears the majority of the responsibilty of making sure it is safe to do so. The person coming down the lane has a responsibility to drive at a speed safe for conditions. In this case, a reasonable speed at which he/she can drive defensively and reasonably be able to avoid an accident.

[Lsnaple]

hey im a teenage boy! i dont say im a good driver,but i dont say im bad. i made a 95 in drivers ed, and aced all my driving tests, but because i drive fast im a bad driver. i dont understand that. i think if your able to drive faster, then you must have a little bit more control of your vehicle.

im not saying im a good or bad driver, but i drive fast and thats why i have no license at the moment. both my parents drive much faster than me. does that make them bad drivers?

my main point is that driving fast doesnt automatically make someone a bad driver. to me(my opinion) a bad drivers are people who do stupid $hit and have no common sense when theyre in their cars.

[Bubba1]

Hey LS, you're a teenager, and your license is already suspended and you think you might be a good driver? Um, dude. You're NOT a good driver. Drivers licenses do not get suspended because you're a great driver who "scored a 95" on your drving test. Wake up, kid. If your parents drive even faster on the street than you, they're lucky, not good. They give tickets and suspend licenses of people that speed excessively on the street, not give them gold medals. Speeding on the street is definitely stupid driving. A good driver is not measured by how fast you drive but how SAFELY you drive, and being able to control your car in different situations SAFELY. When you get your license back, I hope you take that chip off your shoulder and drive a little more responsibly. If you wanna drive fast, go to a hi performance driving school where you can actually learn car control and become a better driver. Sorry if I sound like a dad.

[GodDrivesA240sx]

What about the dumbasses that travel at 50 mph right next to stopped cars? Oh wait, you described yourself as one of them.

How about no scott? I never once describe myself as a person going 50mph. If you read what I posted I said "the guy" not "me" If you noticed what I wrote next to the supposed me in the drawing you would see a note about "me knowing a dumbass is up ahead" and nothing about me traveling at 50 mph. Hmm...seems like I'm exercising caution there. I mean, if there's a dumbass up ahead of course something could happen.

Quote » And I would completely disagree that the person who stopped to let a car through has any fault. He's done nothing wrong. [/quote]Oh well. ***** and moan about it all you want too but it's state law here, and apprently in AZ too.

Quote »The driver of the car pulling out has made the choice to pull out, and bears the majority of the responsibilty of making sure it is safe to do so. [/quote]While this is true, if the other driver did not yeild to someone who is already yeilding then a wreck never would have occured. There's not a law here that says if someone is waiting more than a minute you have to stop and let them out, they can wait as long as it takes to get out.

Quote »The person coming down the lane has a responsibility to drive at a speed safe for conditions. In this case, a reasonable speed at which he/she can drive defensively and reasonably be able to avoid an accident. [/quote]

Yeah, I'm not saying that people can haul *** and expect nothing to be their fault. However, when someone comes from almost out of nowhere there's no safe speed to travel.

[big jon's 240]

Even if you were hauling ***, and the guy pulled out and you nailed him, its still his fault. Speed never dictates who is at fault unless a cop sees the accident. If i tell my insurance company that "yeah i pulled in front of him, but he was speeding so i thin it should be his fault" they will just laugh as they raise my rates. No one can prove if you are speeding or not.

LS, there is a huge difference between being able to handle a car while haulin ***, and knowing that its stupid to haul *** around town. Cruising at 80 on the freeway is one thing (in a lot of places thats barely keeping up with traffic !), but speeding around town, darting in and out of traffic like a moron because you think its cool or fun, is another. Save the racing for the track its much more fun, and much more safe. (and cheaper too)

[Lsnaple]

i never said i was a good driver and i never said it was smart for me to drive fast.by me saying that i got a 95 and aced my tests, was to show i am responsible MOST of the time, but of course i know im not all the time.i dont dart out in front of traffic and i dont haul *** around town, i was driving down a long straight away with very little traffic down a highway.i know that wasnt smart either, but im impatiant.

i know i said i drive fast and i meant down long straight aways, not all the time everywhere.i drive within my limits and experiance, which of course is probably less than yall (as you refer to me as teenager, and i assume your older than me). i go the speed limit most of the time and i drive anywhere from 5-whatever under when the weather isnt great.

AGAIN, IM NOT SAYING IM A GOOD DRIVER.also, people under 18 will lose them for pretty much anything. i was supposedly going "79" in a 55. the lady,a schoolteacher, that went before me in the courtroom, was going 105 in a 55 and it was her 3rd in 2 years.because shes older than me , im guessing about 30, does that make her a better driver? i have a friend,stupid one but a friend, that had 13 wrecks in 11 months, but she still has her license.i guess shes also better than me cause she still has hers.

i think that theres a line between being responsible and just ****ty. im not always responsible, but im far from ****ty and im definately not near the best.

DO YOU ALWAYS DRIVE RESPONSIBLY AND UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT? if not, how about getting of my case.

[Lsnaple]

i dont race on the street either.

[big jon's 240]

I m not getting on your case man, calm down. i wasnt refering to you specifically. i dont know the circumstances about your run in with the law, i was generalizing. Age does not make one a good driver, and just because you are young doesnt mean your a sh*** driver. And you are right, i dont obey every traffic law, all the time. But i am as safe as i can be, and im generally not stupid about how i drive. So, when you get your licence back, learn from your mistake, and dont drive like a moron. Oh, im not that old, im 23.

[Bubba1]

But I'm not done. Driving responsibly "most of time" means you're driving like a moron some of the time. It sounds like you haven't yet learned it's your attitude. Who gives a crap about the older lady in court getting an easier sentence or that girl who wrecked so many carsstill has her license. This isn't about them. It's about YOU. The overwhelming majority of 18 yr olds keep their driving privileges after they earn them. To say that teenagers lose their licenses for pretty much anything is pure crap and an obvious attempt to dodge personal responsibility for your own indescretion. I agree 105 in a 55 zone is very stupid. However, 79 in a 55 is maybe a little less stupid, but it's still pretty damn stupid. I'm sure you feel that cop should have let you off with just a warning because you got a 95 on your drivers test. Grow up, kid. Slow it down, lose the attitude, accept some responsibility, learn from your errors and I'll guarantee you'll become a good driver. Good luck. Papa Bubba
