Things that other drivers do that I'll never understand.

A General Discussion forum for cars and other topics, and a great place to introduce yourself if you are new to NICO!

EVERYTHING OTHER THAN DRIVING

Things I have personally seen:

Women doing their makeup
Woman balancing her checkbook (calculator and all on the steering wheel)
Drivers in heated arguments with passengers
Eating (a meal, with utensils; not just a bag of chips)
No hands on the steering wheel
Driving with their left foot out the window

Also, people that drive stupid on wet roads / snow / ice. "If you just can not grasp the concept of driving in these conditions, for the love of all things holy, call Uber."
People who can't park. I don't care if it's a Prius or an F350 dually. If you can't park it correctly, leave it in your driveway.
People who constantly swerve within their lane. Granted, it's better than leaving their lane, but it's sketchy because you can never be certain when they're gonna cross the line.

I like to do this to establish dominance and that the entire lane is my territory.

1. It frightens me to see a woman putting on eye liner while tailgating the car in front of her. I cringe at the thought of that thing poking your eye out badly. Obviously someone wants to loose an eye. :facepalm:
2. The person who drives with no hands while applying make up and hair styling.
3. Saw a person reading a book.
4. Saw another one tablet laying in the center of the wheel while driving. Seriously?!
5. Reading the paper. That's really brilliant.
6. Got to love the people that have no clue their car is equipped with turn signals.
7. Blinker is on to the left but you turn right. Either you don't know which way you want to go or you have wired it backwards.
8. "Keep moving, change lanes later"..means go do not stop in front of me. I will be behind you blowing the horn until you are annoyed and move. Meanwhile, pointing to the sign.
9. You pass me, get in front and slam brakes because your now turning. :nono: Can't wait two seconds to turn without wasting the extra gas to speed past me.
10. I see a few cars daily because we travel the same route and still have yet to figure out the road merges to one lane. Please! Months later it's not registering in their head.
11. Merging. Big issue and traffic circles. A lot of people can not grasp the concept.

I see so much crap I tell my kids if I ever see or hear of the stupid crap they may try years from now, I will sell their car...period. I read through the post and I've seen some of it listed above. I just don't get people who can not drive right.

I saw a young girl hold up traffic so she can video herself driving. I was waiting to turn out of work and thought if that was my child she would be in for it.

I have seen the people eating with utensils once. That was a new one for me.
