Those big suv ass-clowns that can't park or can't park properly, go find a spot big enough for your big fat guzzling vehicle.

6. people who turn on their signal to turn left way to late. hmmm the lights red, cars are back up behind me, i think ill decide to turn left now.

1) ppl who drive with their highbeams on...the # seems to be increasing too...
5) ppl who tailgate me when obviously it's impossible to go any faster

people making a right turn with out movning over to the curb. They need to slow the traffic behind them cause they own the road. WTF

-people who use high beams at night and blind the shit out of you

- Cyclists: If you're going to share the road with other cars, follow the same rules of the road that we all have to abide by. The worst offenders are the downtown bike messengers.
now only if we can get this list of peeves out to the general public in a news paper or something.

to no one specifically:

just because someone has pulled alongside you at a red light in the parking lane doesn't mean that they're unjustifiably trying to get around you, sometimes there's a left turner behind you, so don't act like a jerk because someone happens to want to go around them

This is true. When i pull up in the right lane. Im not trying to beat the car. Im jsut waiting to get through like everyoneseles.

But the second car can be a jerk sometimes and not let you in.

Yeah... unless it's a two lane road with 3 way intersection + no road to turn left into.

- Middle aged chinese women drivers in richmond, especially those fob ones who drive super expensive benz or beamers and cant f-ing park or drive at 30 km
- people who fucking steal the parking spot you've been waiting for. I swear the next time this happens im gonna fucking get outta the car and bitch them out.
- High beamers
- people who tailgate you on the highway when you're already driving OVER the speed limit.
- Not signaling or signaling TOO LATE.
- Breaking for no reason
- People who dont give way

And lastly, PEDESTRIANS. I cant stand pedestrians.

People who try to cheat there way ahead of traffic and then get pissed off when they try to merge in front of you and you won't let them. Seriously, fuck off.

2) People that ride the breaks. person in front of them does not break but they break continuously.

3) bigger vehicles like trucks, SUV's that have their headlights angled so high or use non projector HID. some of them know it too and do it intentionally tailgating a bit left of my car to glare the fuck out of me.
No offense but your pet peeves are stupid. Here's why:

1) you should be able to move forward without rolling back on a hill.

2) seriously.. who gives a sh*t about riding breaks. go around the guy or just keep your distance. stop whining

3) trucks and SUV's have a higher ride height. there's no way around the glare that people in smaller cars will experience. stop flashing your highbeams at people with trucks because they can't do anything, idiot.

consider people other than yourself for once, your majesty. the roads weren't built for you

k.. it's "brake", not "break". phew, got that off my chest, anyhoo

-highbeamers.... gives me a damn headache
-slow slow drivers in the: left lane, after they cut you off from whereever the hell, or drivers that brake in the middle of the road, to turn right.......FUCK, pull to the right side and turn... you don't have to come to a complete fuckin stop to turn right in the middle of the road
-drivers in two lanes...... dotted lines means u can change lanes, not drive right on it.... pick a lane and stay in it
-drivers deciding to change lanes when i am right beside them.... and when they are inches away, i honk and they have the nerve to finger me
-also, drivers cutting me off without signal, or they signal when they are half way into the lane, causing me to stomp the brake, i honk, and... they finger me.. wtf?

i have more, but... gotta go watch the game, haha

I got lots lol...

- People who switch lanes in an intersection.

- On twiststy roads with two lanes, the driver on the inner lane decides to "out-in-out" unintentionally and cuts into your lane! Especially in Richmond on Hazelbridge behind Parker place and Aberdeen centre...

- Those who speeds up to cut in front of you when you're in the left lane and decides to turn left a second after.

- Stupid ricers trying to race and tailgate you for no reason...

- On a highway...slow-poke drivers decide to hog the left lane and I think to myself...maybe they didn't see the sign that says "slower traffic keep right"...after we pass that sign...he STILL hogs that lane...

- When you're making a left turn onto a two-lane street and some dude from the oncomming traffic turns right but makes it too wide that they cross their lane and into yours...they don't slow down because they think they have the right of way by turning right. I don't even know how many time this has happened to me...

- When stupid asian ladies decide to drive with their high beams on at night behind you.

- When drivers SUDDENTLY roll their car out from a parking lot by like 1/4 the car's length...you have two choices...brake HARD, or change to the next lane, which you might not even have time to properly shoulder check.

- Dumbass drivers who tailgate the car in front of them and when the car in front of them runs a yellow, they STILL follow and runs the red light...slowing down the oncomming cars from turning left.

- Those who decide to run a 4-way stop sign because they think every car from the other 3 ways will stop.

- Those who hold up major traffic by deciding to turn left on a street with a double yellow line...I was stuck behind one for so long, that I got out of my car, walked to that person's driver-side window, and told him to FUCKING move.

- When bus drivers don't signal...yes it's the law to yield...but how the FUCK do you yield when they decide to drive out from the parking lane and cut you off without signaling.

- When the traffic is heavy on a lane going off to a bridge, some assholes decide to go on other lanes and cut into that lane to the bridge at the last minute...





OK I'm done my rants

What ever makes people think that turning on their flashers makes it ok to stop on the right/curb lane when there is a no stopping sign.
