What are some things idiots in cars do that really piss you off?

Here are my top 3:

1) people who slow when your behind them, then speed up as you try to pass.
2) people who slowly trickle the gas as they go at a snail pace at stop signs/stop lights 'after it's already turned green 5 seconds ago'.
3) people who stop 1/2 or 1 full car's length away from the crosswalk line at lights, wtf?? move up!

yours? :teeth
 
i've been making some suck threads lately, so here let me help this one out

It annoys me when cars franically wave me through at stop signs. Umm, no- how about you just follow the rules and act predictably instead of flailing your arms wildly...
 
I noticed a pretty popular thing in my neighborhood lately is driving in the center turn lane for a quarter mile. That's pretty awesome.
 
"3) people who stop 1/2 or 1 full car's length away from the crosswalk line at lights, wtf?? move up!"


Number 3 does not make much sence!! Why? Because it is the law. you are suppose to stop your car or motocycle so you can see both yellow or while lines. This is done for safety for people crossing the cross walk. geez......someone is a bad driver and should be ticketed!
 
I've got a few days off work, so I thought I'd take a roadtrip on my new Duc. I checked the forecast, heading up north to Santa Fe is out- crap weather there. I checked West...woo-HOO! Grand Canyon, here I come! I packed my tankbag with the necessities and headed out.

I get a few miles up the road and the wind kicks in. Wind usually doesn't bother me, after all, I commuted across the bay bridge to work on a Ninja250, and I took it along the coast down to Monterey and up the 101. Before long, I'm being blown all over the damn road, and I couldn't really hug the tank for the tank bag. Trees were whipping all over and the traffic lights were swinging around like mad. I'm alternately getting pissy about it and calling myself a pussy for being affected by it, deciding if I should go ahead or not regardless of the sandblasting I'm enduring (I'm in the frikkin desert these days, lots of sand). Anyway, I finally decide to call it quits and head home.

As I'm riding along a ridge heading back home, I approach a stoplight that turns yellow. I'm still a good distance away. There's a ricer waiting at the stoplight, and he's rolling forward slowly out into the intersection. At the same time, the truck behind me decides to punch it and run the light, and right over me too, I guess. Fearing becoming road pizza, I swerve to the left quickly, across a 'no crossing' area and into the left turn lane to get out of the way of the dumbass. There's rocks and sand and shit all over the road, so it made for an interesting little slide. I was able to get safely out of the way and stopped just in time to see a nice swerve/screeching of tires/honkfest in the middle of the intersection.

After that I was like, fuck the trip for sure, I'm going home and taking a nap.
 
4) cagers that move over and won't let you lane split
5) Cagers that take turns at 2mph

Bad flow this month? :laughing
 
F'ers who drive with their left foot on the brake so their damned brake lights are always on. This bothers me more in a cage than it does on a bike for some reason.

If you like to drive with both feet, remember that the slightest pressure on the brake pedal causes your brake lights to illuminate. This is dangerous for you and the people behind you. Don't be an asshole cager.

:twofinger Yeah, like she said on the other thread..."Parked Motorcycle Syndrome" I've worked alot since I've had this bike, and since I work 12+ hr shifts, that doesn't leave alot of time for riding, and every damn day I've had off, the weather is shit. Frikkin gale force winds and hail and shit. grrrr....:mad

Bad flow, definitely. :laughing
 
It is nice when cagers allow you to pass them on winding roads.

It's when they dictate when you should pass and end up creating an unsafe situation by slowing to almost a stop in an unsafe area, waving you to pass when there isn't enough room.

It's because of people doing this, I always re-analyze the situation when a cage offers an opportunity to pass.
 
Out in Brentwood giant jacked up 'Merican trucks are the rule. The higher the lift kit the better out here I guess. No offense to barfers who enjoy a lifted truck but it's a little excessive out here (Hummers are a close 2nd but usually driven by prissy looking moms with freshly bleached hair and the latest gap khakis) and I drive a large domestic truck myself. Anyway, I'm not sure if they just want to check out the bike or race. Usually starts by me noticing said lifed truck in rear view mirrors a couple cages back. Lots of swerving and cutting people off to catch up to me. Stop light. Truck floors it, making sure their glasspack muffler are at full roar for the 1/8 mile to the next light. I refuse to play drag race since we all know a big truck with a v-8 isn't going to beat a zx9r. :lol

Just run up to Sandia Crest after you get off work, or early, before you go in. :D

You should be seeing more 'seasonal' weather there soon enough.... well, OK, if the jet stream isn't truly f*cked and we're all in for an ice age, at least...


[/bastardize]

Cagers that use the lane markers to drive by Braille. STAY IN YOUR OWN LANE GODDAMNIT!

as for the lifted trucks, yah, i heard that... had one of them holler thru his open passenger window, "hey that thing got a Hemi?" I'm like, "No, but five valves per cylinder oughta be good for something, right?"

We get around the corner onto Concord Blvd and I twist it, he's WAY back there... rolls up next to me a bit later on Contra Costa "Yeah, I guess you DO have a Hemi, don't ya?"


No, I have a BIKE. It's called power/weight ratio, dumbass.
