I hate it when people pull out into traffic and then drive slow. Its like, "if you arent in a hurry, why did you pull out in front of me???"
Nothing irritates me more than when I have to slow down because someone pulled out in front of me and then couldnt figure out where the gas pedal is.

As a person that holds a class A CDL, I am constently amazed at peoples stupidity.

I dont know which one is first:

People who are too good to use an acceleration lane, and immeadiatly veer over in to the fast lane to do their accelerating

or

People who drive all day long in the passing/fast lane. They either go really slow and look around like this is the first time they have ever been outside or they go fast like a "boy racer" in the passing lane with no one around them at all.

Ok, that second one is my biggest pet pev.

I am getting irrate just thinking about it.

I live here in Colorado, where there are a lot of mountain passes that have the
"Keep Right Except To Pass" signs posted all over, but people still go out and "play" in the passing lane like it doesn't really matter to them.
(Screw the world! I am the most important thing here)

Have you ever been the guy behind someone who is panicing because the hill is too steep (going on the "down side" of a mountain pass) and you are ready to pass them, just to see that there is someone coming up the pass with no one around them "playing" in the passing lane? I have too many times to count.

I have passed around them and the other car a few times before, because they refuse to get over. Yes thats stupid, but it wakes them up to how stupid they are and scares them bad.

That is one of the main reasons I am planing to join the highway patrol/state police.
Traffic enforcement. It needs to be done.

I also think people should be required every year to do a driving test with an instructor, because their lazy, bad driving habits should cost them their driving privlages.

Automotive related pet peeves:

When people let my truck doors bounce off the hinges instead of holding on to the door until fully opened.
People that cut you off by pulling out in front of you when there isn't a single car behind you. (You couldn't wait that extra 5 seconds? A******)
And people that are already talking on their cellphone when they're backing out of their own driveway into traffic. Seriously people.

Stop signs, seems like that and traffic lights are the only solution to a traffic problem We need more yield signs, I'm capable of looking both ways without stopping. Besides that all this needless stopping wastes time and gas.
Whats with all these stop signs in store parking lots?

Stick on hood scoops

Fender flares with skinny stock tires

about any northern NJ driver

everything the previous guys said.

Back in the day... Drive at posted speed +5mph on cruise control in right lane (two in each direction), people will pass you on your left, before they are two seconds ahead of you, and with nobody behind them, they change lanes getting in front of you... then hit their brakes. Why? Why why why?

That's what I'm sayin. Why?

Pet Peeve:

When a guy with bad aim uses the toilet to take a pee just before I have to use to do a sit down job.

When I go to pay for a parking meter and realize I have a hole in my pocket therefore having lost most of the change that I had for the meter.


People that stand in a doorway and blow smoke toward my face as I pass by.


Driving related Pet Peeves:

1) People who sit at a green light waiting for it to change a deeper coloured green.

2) People who turn a corner into my 2nd lane from the curb when the nearest lane is clear then start rubber-necking looking for a store or something.

3) Ignorant people that say desparging things about MY Fords.

That is why I refuse to take a number 2 in a public bathroom, disgusting.

Automotive PP would be door dings, I'll yell at someone who does it when it isn't even my vehicle...I tend to park acroos the street or at the very extreme end of a parking lot.
My all time personal PP would be waking up in the morning and have a neck kink, I'm a pissed off bear to anyone around me when I get them.

Mine is when driving down the highway and people pull out from a side road at the last second. It really pisses me off when it's done on a flat, straight section of highway and they can easily see there is no one behind you.
Grrrr!

People who zoom past you and than veer back in front of you and slam on their brakes to turn 2 streets down the road. I will shat myself before I use a public restroom or port o potty. One big one of mine is the person who does something stupid and than flip you off like you were the offender.

when people drive 5 mph under the posted speed limit
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Really ....That's a pet peeve ?

That posted speed limit is the Maximum speed allowed not what someone Has To drive...or .....it doesn't mean a person has to go that fast for anyone

What bothers me is when I drive 5 -10 mph under the posted max and someone tailgates me perhaps trying to persuade me to go faster

As long as people Don't Impede traffic *without showing us they have car problems*.....(ie:half the posted maximum)..... 5 mph under is fine AFAIC.

I'm never in that much of a hurry

Having to take 3 different detours to get somewhere because every other street is closed for construction.

Stupid people tick me off. That covers about 95% of the population.

The idiot who seemed to think I was chasing him so he kept weaving in traffic, and trying to get me stuck at traffic lights. (See previous statement)

White guys who think they are black.

Did I mention stupid people?
