For me, drivers who brake for no damn reason. If I am behind you and you make me brake when there are no cars or anything in front of you, that pretty much means I will find a way to pass you.

The most common one are drivers who hog the left lane. Doesn't matter how fast you are driving, if someone is going faster, have the courtesy to change lanes and let them pass.

Other notable ones:
- No headlights/foglights when the situation requires them to be on.
- No signaling
- Can't maintain speed
- Can't park (Not sure how you pass your driver's test if you can't do this)
- Can't stay in their own lanes
- Can't estimate the speed of other cars around you

People who constantly ride in your blind spot. To me they are just as stupid as the people who don't shoulder check and hit them.

Mine is all the idiots and azins driving around without their headlights or tail lights on ON the freeways or main roads and night. Then I give them the ol high beam flick or try to get their attention by pulling up next to them adn they full on ignore me. Thinking im trying to eye rape them or something.

1. Ppl that cut me off and then go below speed limit

2. when you are nice enough to let someone cut in front of you and they dont say thank you. Why you no fking manners?

3. When Ppl constantly wanna race you or keeps driving parallel to you.

4. They justify hazard lights as "stop anywhere/anytime I fking want lights"

People who don't move forward in the left turn lane when the light is green. They either assume it's "left turn signal only" lane, or they are just assholes so others behind them won't have enough time to turn.

sonick 12-10-2013 12:40 PM

People turning left who leave a car length or more between themselves and the car in front of them.

dared3vil0 12-10-2013 02:59 PM

Fuckers who think it's fun to attempt to drift their lifted Jeep Wrangler around a corner, losing it and coming within feet of smashing into your parked car, when they live two houses up. Imagine that conversation? (I'm looking at you, dumbass neighbour.)

nexus lane cheaters at the border

I hate it when people just randomly stop anywhere. It's worse when they're right next to a side street, and they could very well have pulled into a side street rather than block rush hour traffic.

when people pick their nose, roll it into a ball and throw it out their window, hitting my car

Geoc 12-10-2013 03:48 PM

Retards on the road with aftermarket HIDs. Yes, your Civic is so cool with it's eBay special HIDs blinding everyone else on the road.

When people do that I just assume they're broken down or they're scared to enter the intersection so I just go around them and pull in front of them

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.

^On the dot. #3 irritates me the most.
People need to move over to the curb lane when possible. 100% chance you'll run into this on Renfrew & 2nd Ave by the T&T/1st Ave Marketplace.

BoostedBB6 12-10-2013 06:02 PM

People who poorly maintain there vehicle or driving stupid for the road conditions.

bald tires, bottoming out on random bumps, non working signals/lights

Pet peeve because they are a danger to other road users. Just wish I had a fire truck so I could lightly push them to the side of the road.

Peds that walk on the road when there's literally a sidewalk a couple feet away

v.Rossi 12-10-2013 07:59 PM

When oblivious drivers stop to let illegal jaywalkers cross, regardless of weather or age or if they're carrying bags. Unless you're the only car sure, if you're not then check your mirrors before being that nice guy causing a rearend. If its a yield to pedestrian crosswalk with painted lines and pedestrian cross sign, by all means stop, I get it.

I've noticed this a lot more lately in my neighbourhood. I follow and wait patiently for them to move over and they give me a spaced out or dirty look. WTF, do you want me to drive on the sidewalk to get around you? :rukidding:

This is more of a seasonal pet peeve.

What grinds my gears in the summer is when the car infront is driving normally and all of a sudden they have the urge to spray the windshield washer while moving. Getting over spray and leaving spots all over my windshield and front end.

mb_ 12-10-2013 09:28 PM

- People who cannot fucking follow stop signs procedures PROPERLY!!!

- No signal/late signal when changing lanes, turning, etc

- If I ever have to hit my brakes because someone changed lanes or turned onto the street I'm driving on

- Tailgaters

- Rice rockets that try to race me

- Idiots who don't turn on their lights at night or when the road conditions are not optimal (foggy, rainy, etc)

- When people go below the fucking speed limit and it's a one lane road!!!!!!!

it frigging happened to me today at RC...... god damn lady literally just casually walking towards my car and not having a single care in the god damn world

ImportPsycho 12-10-2013 09:53 PM

since I moved to Richmond 2 years ago,

-49% drive with high beam at night
49% drive with no head lights/tail lights at night
(once car behind me had high beam on, i jump outta my car at the red light, walked back to her car, screamed at her to turn of the high beam while pointing at her head lights, she was still clueless what I was screaming about and did not turn if off. only made me look like crazy one)


-on side streets with 2 way stop , car travelling through no stop signs stops, waves her hand to yield to the car standing at stop sign...

platinum300 12-10-2013 10:35 PM

Driving on Knight St. during rush hour when all three lanes are occupied with semi-trucks.

Limitless 12-10-2013 11:05 PM

Passengers who change songs when I want to listen the one that was playing, and passengers who complain constantly about how loud my car is :rukidding:

mikey2781 12-11-2013 12:30 AM
