Things you WISH the cops would pull people over for?

Tailgating, the last thing I need is some ******* right on top of me.

 

Failure to maintain lane sir!!!

 

Alot of people in Houston don't know about that little lever on the left side of your steering wheel. It's for decoration apparently, and not to tell others where you are turning.

 

double the fine for speeding violation on motorist that has a handicap plate.

 

you stole my thunder.

 

lets see...

1. Headlight out
2. No Brake lights
3. The bright blue healights that blind people
4. Signal lane change
5. Failure to report change of address on DL LOL

 

Illegal left turns. The double-yellow line is there for a reason, nimrod.

 

People that pass illegally.

No use of turn signals.

Reckless drivers.

 

What would be an example of an illegal pass?

 

Example:

Passing when there are double yellows.

 

People who don't know how to cross a two way street. They pull up to the median where there's like a gap, but they are on the wrong side. The passenger side should be closer to the curb. Otherwise, when another car pulls up to the median heading in the opposite direction, the view of oncoming traffic will be blocked for both people.

 

Impeding traffic by sitting in a lane that could be moving trying to get over into a backed up lane.

 

It seems no one knows how to do turns through medians these days. Everyone turns into the median and waits on the INSIDE (driver side closer to the curb) rather that the OUTSIDE. I've seen people do it correctly (excepting myself) about 5% of the time. It's pretty terrible.

 

Is this going to be the official road rage thread? Sweet.

Your brake lights are important, people. It kind of lets the person behind you know when you're idiotically going to come to a screeching halt on the ramp going onto the highway for no apparent reason.

And then you turn around and shake your head at me? F* you, lady. F* you.


And also, it feels like there's been an increase in people treating red lights like stop signs lately. It doesn't bother me as much as the brake light thing, since there's nobody at the intersection, but I find it odd.

littering

 

- Cops that speed and drive recklessly without their emergency lights on.
- Driving on the freeway with a spare tire. They're almost universally not rated for that speed, and could explode at any moment, putting many people in danger.
- Skipping to the front of a "line" and squeezing in by crossing over a solid white line. I'd love to ticket people just for cutting alone, but I doubt that's enforceable in any way.

 

dumbasses who always let people cut them

 

Ding ding ding, I don't get people who cruise under the speed limit on the inside lanes, then immediately jump over 4 lanes because they didn't know their exit was coming up.
