Have you guys ever encountered moron drivers?

those that just get pissed off for no good reason, and possibly due to their own stupidity.

just now, i was going home on this street that leads to a deadend, and there is only a right turn and a U-turn. the road has four lanes, two in both direction.

then i was on the right lane, turning into the parking lot, there was a truck (most likely a Ford) with a guy in sun glasses and a baseball cap wanting to get out. as i turned right, passing him and he looked at me with anger in his tone and said "nice blinker!"

i gave him the finger. :D i see no point in yelling at me since i was in the right lane that's designated for a right turn, i couldnt go straight coz it's a dead end. so if he wanted to turn left, i wouldnt have affected him at all. i was just so pissed off, so what if i didnt blink, the *****ing lane only leads to a deadend and a right turn. *****ing idiot. :mad:

PS: damn talk about rage!! i have lots! :D

Good thing it didn't occur in NJ - he would have just pulled out in front of you and expected you to figure out a way to avoid him, at the last minute. :)

In all seriousness HKC never forget that you are not a linebacker nor are you bulletproof. There are some real dangerous people out there and what you did could have got you killed. Be careful out there ladies, creeps are everywhere.

Sad, but true. Horrible thing to have to think about.

I was driving last night with a buddy and just minding my own business when this lowered truck starts tailgating me, then eventually pulled up on the side of me, the guy flipped me off, and spun his tires as he turned. It was really odd since I had just been cruising down the street, not even doing stupid ****.

I have gone after other drivers for less. People think they are untouchable in their cars, mistake.

thats why everyone needs a camshaft under their seat, and a big knife, preferably a ka-bar, optimally two.

getting out of your car with two 14 inch knives solves most conflict before it gets out of hand. even if it doesnt solve the problem, its gives the wet-nap's in the glove a purpose.

I have a long story about such matters.

Suffice it to say, the end result was the offending party being permanently disfigured and me being sued for $14 mil (yes, $14 mil) and having to spend $6K of my hard earned money to defend myself. :(

It's just not worth it. Drive away to live another day.

You shoulda used your blinker anyways... That's just the rules of the road, and it's not fair to drive around assuming that people will just "know" what you're gonna do. Dead end or not, you shoulda used your signal and you certanly shouldnt have flipped him off. ...imo

...what do you think a cop woulda said to you?

It would be interesting to see the state laws on that, im not sure you are required to use turning signals in a turn only lane.

Honestly, the dude in the pickuptruck was not a police officer so he has no place telling other people how to drive.

Just a insignificant situation, no need for anybody to be a prick about it.

even if it's not a law (and it seriously most likely is), it's a matter of courtesy if you see someone waiting there. sometimes I use my blinker even in yeild areas so people know which way I'm going... there's plenty of stupid drivers on the road, might as well give everyone a heads up if possible.

lol... just for the sake of argument...

I feel it's perfectly my place to criticize everyone else's driving skills (or lack thereof..)! Hahaha now look me straight in the (e-)face and tell me you never tell people how to drive?!?

Heheh, you got a point there, but I normally dont role down the window and says something like "WAY TO STOP BEFORE THE LINE" at a traffic light (illigal, but not something im going to start an argument over). If someone is doing something very dangerous, hell yeah im going to let them hear about it, but this is something that might not even be illigal, just like being a prick for the sake of making yourself feal better about your own driving skills.

I get a little annoyed when I'm on a stop trying to cross the other side of the street with traffic headed my way and a person doesn't make a signal when they make a turn instead of going straight... Did that make sense?

Anyhow, in California we're told to keep using our signal lights even when there are no cars around. Sadly, most people don't even signal when they change lanes on the freeway.

I have to aggree, I get really annoyed when people don't use their signals, I use mine even when I'm in the mountains with no one in site just out of habit. I do think the guy was being a bit of a prick though too. I shouldn't talk about it much though since none of my front signals are working now...I use my blinker, just only people behind me can see!!! :pface

wow, i was wondering if a thread would open so i could post tuesdays events. on my way to school, i was going down a road that ends at a highway. its a two lane road on each side. on the south bound side, the road has a left turn lane, and a right. i was in the right. as i approached the highway, this little Festiva pulls out from this gas station on the right side corner and goes into the left lane. well, this Mrs. Bairds truck pulls out too, cutting me off, and getting behind the Festiva. well the light had turned yellow and the ford stopped. i was getting closer to the light and in that split second the truck cuts me off again, goes past the ford, runs the red light, and makes a left hand turn from the right hand lane. good way to start the morning. so im going down the high way (SH121) as its approaching lewisville. we stopped at a red light, and as we take off, im not going that fast cause i dont have a lot of gas and i didnt want to stop. so cars are passing me and i get tired of it cause im going 65, 10 over the speed limit. well, this truck from a saturn dealership passes me and gets in front of me and i said 'i've had enough.' so i see this SC300 coming up and i punch it, doing a 5th gear pull and keep him from cutting me off. well, hes coming up fast behind this other car and has to get over behind me. then he flashes his brights, why i dont know, i guess to let me know im an ******* cuase i didnt let him cut me off. then, later on, as im going down 114 to 121 south, this blue yukon gets behind me. the part of road im on is two lane, but turned into a three. hes right on my ***, and the lane next to me is open, and he could ahve passed me. but no, he decides to stay on my tail. so when the road splits, i get over, he stays in the lane and speeds up. i give him the finger right out where he can see it. he gets infront of me and i speed up and tailgate him, to return the favor. well, hes making gestures like "c'mon punk,lets go" and he speeds up. i keep up with him, and then he gets over, and motions again, i guess for me to pull up next to him. i dont, and as he comes up fast on another car, he gets back over again. thats when i notice an opening and my exit. i get over two lanes, so hes in the far left, and im in the far right. as i get next to him, i give him this super gay wave and punch it and take off. i can see him doing to same, i guess cause he thinks that on his way to the office he can race some college kid and brag to his golf playing, supposedly good christian buddies how he raced some punk *** kid. i really hate people.

that also brings up another point. i really cant stand, and neither can my GF, the people in their big SUVs with all the little fishes on the back. the problem is not with the fish, because even though she doesnt have any religion, which im working on, she respects the fact of what it stands for. but what gets us, is the fact that these are some of the rudest, most stuck up, cheap, penny pinching, claiming your donation on your taxes, i go to a big church with a lot of money, im holier than thou, ***holes.

/end vent.

In NJ you have to use your turn signal, even in a turn only lane. You have to use it all the time, even in parking lots and stuff. I hate it when people don't use their turn signals. I'm not telepathic.

Would you have bought the car if it didn't come with blinkers?

I hate those little fish. I also hate it when people put religious stickers on their cars. "God loves me", yeah that's why you are driving around an 85 cutlass with more rust than the Titanic, God's really lookin out for you.

I don't mind religion, but I hate having it pushed on me like that. Religion is supposed to be internal, a relationship between you and your faith...keep me out of it.

I know its a bit off topic but it really irrates me, and these people usually are horrible drivers.

I thought that u haveta use your turn signals in every state, not just NJ...

heh, try drivin in nyc for a while.... you'll hone your telepathic abilities in no time.

But, after about 3 years drivin' back-n-forth, I'm noticing a trend of bad drivers spreading down to south jerzee... maybe cause they build the roads down here to accomodate seniors... nice,wide, smoothly paved, etc... which lowers the avg driver's attention from the road to the cell phone, eating a meal, reading the paper, etc. AGH
