You don't go the speed limit in the fast lane. More people need to learn this. It is called the fast lane for a reason. When I'm doing 6-7 MPH over in the fast lane and I see a car coming up behind me, I get over so he can keep going at the same speed. Nothing is more annoying than trying to pass a semi and having some slow ass clogging up the fast lane.
this annoys me the most when someone gets in the far left lane and goes 50mph its like they do not notice all the cars switching lanes behind them and zooming past them. actually outside of the fan right exiting/merging lane anyone who does that in any of the other lanes when traffic is flowing annoys the hell out me. the only thing is worse is when you have a wall of slow (below 65) cars in all four lanes all going with 5 mph each other making it virtually impossible to get ahead of any of them and you can easily see all the open road they have in front of them.
Tailgaters. OMG, I can't stand them. I have the urge to just slam on my brakes but I resist it every time. People who don't let you to change lanes by going the same speed as you when you clearly need to change lanes. Just speed up or slow down to let me in, damn! Speeders who weave through the traffic. Stupid idiots.
Even if I'm in the left lane, I still will refuse to speed or move. I'm already going over the limit; if someone has a problem with that then they can just switch lanes and continue on their merry way. An exception to this rule might be when I'm on an interstate, there's a line behind me and a big rig in the right lane; sure then I'll probably speed up to get past the truck then get over. I won't hold up a line of cars. Any case I think the frequent stoppers are the most annoying Or other: Mr. Constantly has to drive at the MINIMUM legally allowed speed or Mr. Has to find the closest parking space to the store and waits in the middle of the lane for a spot to open so I can't get around them. I actually vowed to not have Road Rage for Lent...so far it's worked out pretty well. Driving has been a peaceful, almost zen-like experience.
drivers that don't use their turn signals. indecisive drivers that don't know the right-of-way rules. impatient drivers that pass you up and speed up just to meet you at the next light.
The stupid ricers that want to race me every time they pull up next to me at a redlight. The stupid ricers who speed up to me on the highway and idle for like 10 seconds and look at me and then gun it and take off. People who don't just drive the speed limit but 5 miles BELOW it. UGH! People who don't use their signals.
This is not the way you are supposed to drive, and is illegal in many places. The left lane isn't actually the "fast lane" it's the "passing lane." If there are cars going faster you are supposed to move, regardless of your own speed.
Correct, it's called the passing lane, either you drive as faster so the guy behind you is comfortable, or you get the f*** out of that lane. Also, the people who doesn't turn their headlights on during big rainstorms, or the fog we had in the morning the past couple of days..... No one can see more than 20 yards, and they don't realize that it might be good to turn on their headlights Also, the bozos who thinks it's okay to use their brights just because their vision is bad
It drives me nuts when I'm driving and someone is behind me with their brights on. YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO USE YOUR BRIGHTS WHEN YOU ARE CLOSE TO ANOTHER CAR! It makes it very hard for me to use my mirrors because some dolt is blinding me.
That's a load of ****. The left lane is for passing. Don't just hold people up because you think you are going fast enough. That is a dick move.
To people who constantly feel the need to speed, I'm going to ask why? Are you not waking up on time? Is it that important to you to get home 5 minutes early? When I was younger, I used to speed all of the time. Got into some accidents, and got a ton of tickets. These days, it's the furthest thing from my mind. I haven't had a moving violation in years, and rarely, if ever get into accidents. Speeding is stupid.
I hate this one more than anything because it involves multiple people being somehow oblivious to how annoying this is. How is that possible? other than that: 1. people who don't use turn signals. Obviously thinking they have a better chance of getting into the lane by just quickly weaving in front of you, not realizing that this increases the chances of getting into an accident if you are not seen in time. 2. people who don't acknowledge turn signals. That turn signal should be like a yellow light. It's preferred that you slow down to allow the person in but it's better to just speed up and get out of the way than to just stay at a constant speed and prevent that person from getting over. It seems like more than 60% of the people on the road don't use or ignore turn signals.
I used to speed all the time. I don't really know why. One time I drove from Dallas to Katy in 3 and a half hours. I got a ticket coming back for going 84 in a 65 and I haven't had the urge to go more than 6-7 MPH over since. Also "Flashing lights" is so annoying and enrages me. People seem to only flash their lights to piss other people off. Yes, I got in your lane, because if I need to merge over or else I won't be on the right interstate. Get the hell over it. I didn't cut across lanes of traffic, I had my blinker on. You didn't get ****ed over in any way. Light Flashers = douchebags. Agree with the people who don't use blinkers, nothing is more annoying then when I'm trying to pull out onto a busy intersection, there is only one car coming in front of a huge line of cars about 200 feet behind him... then he suddenly starts slowing down and turns right where I'm trying to pull out. If he just would have signaled like you're supposed to do, I could have pulled out and made it. Instead now I'm screwed and have to wait another 5 minutes.
Sometimes I don't even know why I speed. I've really toned down a lot from when I was 17-18. I remember one time I made a trip from Austin to Katy in like 1:30 hours. I was pretty stupid at the time. I remember I would drive a constant 95-100 mph. I only got 2 speeding tickets within the span of a year. Now I try my best to stay within 75-85 mph which is an improvement to how fast I use to drive. I really try my best not to drive fast anymore. I never got into a wreck or an accident. I been driving 6 years now (since I was 15) and I've learned a lot. I'm still trying to tone down to get down to the 70-80 mph (on the long road trips).
Tailgators can be subjective IMO, If you're doing 59 in a 60 in the fast lane then you deserve to be tailgated until you get your ass over. If you're doing 68-70 in the fast lane and somebody tailgates you, that is being a douchedriver.
Yup, there is a thing called "Flow of traffic" Which means, if everyone on the road is doing 5 over, you do 5 over or die.
Ok find where it says that it's ok to go over the speed limit in the "passing" lane....show me the law that states you may go over the posted speed limit to pass someone in the left lane. If you show me that I'll gladly eat crow. I usually go about 5-10 miles over....and usually I'm not in the left lane anyways because quite frankly I have no reason to be that far over. But lets say I'm on I-10, I'll stay in the right lane for the most part. But if there's a lot of traffic, I'm not gonna fool with going back and forth the whole damn trip just to please those a**holes who HAVE to go 80 or 90. I'll get into the left lane, I'll continue at my speed, until the right lane is pretty clear of traffic and then I'll move over. I don't stay in the left lane unless there's too many cars in the right, all going slower than me. I don't do that...and I'm fully aware that it's a "passing lane." But it's not a "speeding lane." So if I get into that lane to pass up cars in the lane that I was in...I sure as hell am not gonna go 90 to match the speed of the drivers behind me. You can slow your a** down. What am I gonna tell the State Trooper..."I know I was going 20 over officer but it's ok, I was in the passing lane." And again, show me the law that supersedes the posted speed limit when you're in the left lane and I'll eat some crow, and I'll change my driving habits. Otherwise, I refuse to do 80 just to please the people that are in such a damn hurry...especially when I'm already going over the limit.
