For me it's drivers who don't know the dimensions of their vehicle. For example, if I'm trying to get in the left turn lane but the vehicle ahead of me is too scared to move forward to get in that lane

people who only have their DRLs on at night with no tailights... i know it has been said already but it needs to be said again.

-driving behind another driving who is talking on his cellphone, with no headset, while it is a green light at the intersection. The car in front of me is stopped at the intersection for at least ten seconds. -big horn honks coming his way.

Big pet peeve. -so happy to see the cops give a ticket to that dumbass a few blocks down the street when a cop catches the guy still yaking on his cellphone. :)

this is the most annoying thing in the world

1 People constantly changing lanes to try to get ahead when both right and left lanes are congested.

2 People who make their car's exhaust loud when it sounds like complete shit

3 people who honk at me while tailgating because im doing 30 in a school zone/playground

4 People who lower their car that it becomes an inconvenience to other people once there is a speedbump

number 1 and 3 quoted for truth.

Ride 12-08-2013 07:45 PM

-People driving on the highway with no vehicles in front of them all of a sudden decide its time to make a lane change for no apparent reason usually from the slow lane to the fast lane

-drivers getting on the highway with two people trying to get in the hov lane signalling and slowing the flow of traffic and when they get in the hov only to go slower than the regular flow of traffic

-drivers who dont react when the light turns green by either the hand held device or just not paying attention

Bravo 12-08-2013 08:17 PM

- Drivers who don't do shoulder check.

- Drivers who don't make a complete stop when making a right turn on red.

Zedbra 12-08-2013 08:23 PM

Minivans. They do almost everything listed here - and I swear they are speed limited to 90kph in the fast lane

speaking of cabs.....

during my morning commute to work DT via hastings Friday the cops were planted as they normally are during the holiday season just before clark heading west bound on hastings looking for people on cell phones and people in the bus lane.

I saw one guy get pulled in and cops let 2 taxi drivers go by.
Are they allowed to use the bus lane :suspicious:

quasi 12-08-2013 09:43 PM

When getting on to a bridge like the Alex Fraser coming down Nordel all back up to a crawl and douchebags drive up the through lane cutting in right at the end to avoid all the traffic. Like their fucking time is so much more valuable then everybody else who is stuck in that bullshit traffic jam, I think what pisses me off even more is you know it's the same cunts doing it every single day.

smarv 12-08-2013 10:01 PM

People who sit so close to the steering wheel their practically hugging it.

The trick to piss these tailgaters off even more is to slow down. They'll get the gist. haha.

I was in a cab once when on their ticker came in of a report of a suspect the police were looking for. I asked the driver, and he told me that because of all the cabs on the roads, they can be extra eyes for the police. In return, cabs do get special treatment.

I mean, just last night I was in a cab at 1 am who was going 90km on Granville street to Richmond. Chances are anyone else woulda got pulled over.

1. People who can't judge where the lane is when it's raining. These drivers either drive too fast or they're driving on the painted lines creeping into your lane at times.

2. People who turn into any lane but the one closest to them. You guys piss me off.

3. People who take right turns but hog half the centre lane and right lane. Excluding of course large trucks, 18 wheelers, etc.

4. People who suck at driving while talking on the phone. I know you know it's illegal, nothing I can do there. But if you can't multitask, just fucking don't. Learn to walk before you run. Learn to drive before you learn to talk and drive.

5. Yellow light means slow down. Not first and second drivers who wish to make a left turn proceed. First driver, sure. If the second driver completes the turn before the thorough intersection has a green light I have no problem whatsoever. Otherwise you just tried to beat a red light and you made others wait.

6. People who turn their hazard lights on and magically their car is now in a parking spot!

7. BIGGEST PET PEEVE: Common tight side street scenario: A car approaches from the opposite side, you pull over to let them through and they simply drive off. Zero acknowledgment made. I'm not expecting a red carpet and have you come out and thank me. But maybe eye contact, a simple hand raise something. I stopped to avoid your 'possible' stupidity, not because you're better than me. If its night time, limited vision, different story otherwise come on.

As an avid Biker who uses his bike to get around during the summer. People who stop in front of or completely roll stop signs.

Its funny, i was talking to a police officer about that awhile ago, and they call it "taxi drivers working hard".

When you come to a red light intersection and your in an empty right lane,
you are going to make a right turn at the intersection....

then some idiot decides to speed up and cut you off blocking you from turning right because he or she is waiting for the green to go straight

YES, especially when you are on the opposite side of these drivers at an intersection waiting to turn left thinking they are going straight, yet at the last second they turn on the signal to turn left and you were sitting there waiting for them with your thumb up your ass.

Also drivers who merge into the right turn lane at the too far in (where the line becomes solid) rather than where it's still dotted, e.g. below at Garden City and Alderbridge, where this happens OFTEN.

Dont know if it has been said, but people who cut you off only to stop and try and make a left turn.

Had a guy gun it off the line only to cut me off and then turn on his signal and force me to wait behind him for an entire light while he failed horribly at making a left turn.
