i'm sure this was done b4 but lets see some 2009 peeves.

1 ) as the traffic light turns red a driver would brake to a complete stop at least 2 cars or more behind the one in front of them then inch up slowly. VERY ANNOYING especially for me behind who drives manual especially on a slope (eg... boundary/grandview)

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.

1. When people pass you on in the parking lane so that they can get 2 cars ahead, even though traffic is already moving fast (ie sections of 49th) There is only one lane!

2. people who race you at the light, even though their lane ends 10m after the intersection

3. people who drive with their high beams on

4. people who drive with their lights off in the fog and dark

wuuhoo
02-07-2009, 08:19 PM
1. People who drives VERY slow with nothing in front of them

2. People that breaks for no reasons. I swear this happens

1) slow parkers


I saw this one guy try no less than ten times to parallel park. Each time all he did was wear out his front tires. His rear wheels stayed exactly the same distance (far away) from the curb. I patiently waited and chuckled inside. I mean this guy should hand in his man card. He totally sucks at driving. Did he not play with cars when he was a kid?

He finally parked the car parallel from the curb. The car just happened to be five feet from it. LOL.

1) highbeamers
2)driving slow when there's nothing in front of them.
3)when your driving down a road, and some douchebag decides to pull out of his parking spot then drives fucking slow....
4)when your stopped at a red light and someone pulls up to the right side of you(parking lane) and when light turns green they speed up to get infront of you then drive fucking slow.

People driving in the HOV lane and traveling slower than the cars in the far slow lane. These people truly believe that if they have a passenger, they have to be in the HOV lane.

People who don't use there F())(CKING Turn Signals. I don't care if you are doing triple the speed limit, or 1/2 the speed limit. Use your damn signals so I know to either get out of your way or stay put because you are going to go around me.

People who DON'T PAY ATTENTION. People that just kinda blindly drive down the road, especially old people that think they have the right away regardless. I think that after the age of 50, it should be required to re-take a driving assessment test every 4 years and if you fail a single test, then every 2 years from then on, if you fail again, it'll be every year to be tested and if you fail a total of 3 times, take away there license for good. Let the government give them a free Bus Pass. A lifetime buss pass for a senior that can't drive, will cost far less then ICBC paying out for several accidents. Don't get me wrong about old people, at 50, my Grandmother was driving a 77 Trans Am with a built 455 (7.4L V8 IIRC) and she loved to drive it fast, and knew how to drive it.



Slow drivers don't upset me, as I'll find a way to pass them.
Speeding drivers don't bother me as I'll follow them and let them be the cop bait.
Weaving in and out of traffic, I think its kinda fun to watch and I might even join in depending on the level of traffic and situation.

we should name things we do that might bother people. :P

i know i do this thing to piss ppl off..unintentionally.

when i see a stale red light...i dont step the gas pedal at all..even when my car is 20-30m from the intersection.

when i coast up closer to the intersection the light usually turns a fresh green...at this point my car still has some momentum so i just accel smoothly which saves me from the take-off gas.

this might sucks for a right turner behind me but whatever..the light's red and you probably have to wait at the intersection anyways.

yay? nay?

I don't mind, as long as once it's green, you're going 60-70 again to not hold me up. And if I was really in that big of a rush to turn right, I would of just went around you on the parking lane.

3) ppl with non-projector HIDs done improperly
4) ppl who drive slow in the left lane

6) ppl who don't signal left until the light's about to turn green

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 braking going uphill.

The car ahead of you slows down for the green light. when it turns Yellow, they gun it through the intersection leaving you with a red.

- People who floors it on the straights but slows to a crawl when there's a turn/corner, blocking every car behind him/her
- People coming out from side streets right before you go pass them, making you slam on the brake and nearly rear ending them
- People cutting out from a turning lane at the last second when they change their mind on which way they want to go
- People that speeds up to tailgate the car in front of them when they realize you want to merge in from the lane next to their's.
- People that stops in the middle of the street to turn left when there's a NO LEFT TURN signs right in front of them.
- People who daydreams behind the wheel, especially when they are the first car at the intersection and they don't realize the light already turn green 10 seconds ago!
- People who talks on their phone and drive at the same time

Ppl cutting you off coming out of a side street then go 50 after
Drivers that try to go straight in a right turn only lane, blocking every car after them that are turning right
Driving with their high beam on during the night/in the fog
When driving on a narrow 2 way street, people still drive in the middle of the road.
Drivers who always do a back in parking when they obviously cannot back-up properly and could've just driven straight in

- People who fucking signal to turn at the LAST possible second..IE: Light's red, you both stop and light turns green THEN the guy signals...WOW...

- People that drive at like 30-40 when their are NO cars in front of them..

- People that turn onto the road even when they know it's not safe..making me slam on my brakes to "let them in"

- The assholes that hog the left lane on a highway and drive at like 60-80...GTFO!

1. lefthand lane hogs - if you're not passing another vehicle :gtfo: and when you realise someone wants you to get out of the way don't be an asshole and intentionally prevent that person from passing. its not your job to keep everyone from speeding and you only make the roads more conjested and dangerous
2. people on cell phones - die, just die
3. people that insist on getting ahead of you just so they can drive slow or turn off a few blocks later

1. two vehicles side by side going the same fuckin slow speed on the highway with nothing in front. example the barnet.

2. yielding to asshole bus drivers who cut you off.

3. people who merge infront of me, make me brake, then contiune on very slowly.

4. pedestrians who think they can cross the fuckin road where ever they please, and that i should yield to them. FUCK UUUUUU!

5. even if i have all the time in the world to get some place i still cant stand going slow behind some douche.

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.

02-08-2009, 05:39 PM
- People driving on a one-way street, but refused to pull all the way to the left lane to complete their turn....You wouldn't turn from the middle lane on a 2-way street, so why is it different on a one-way street?

- Drivers in the middle/left lane that purposely stop past the line at a red light blocking the view of any vehicles trying to complete a right turn. It's pretty hard to make a right turn when all they see is your front end on the left!

- 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.

- Downtown Translink Bus Drivers: The "yield" sign on the back of every bus IS NOT A "do whatever you want and get away with it" sign! I've lost count of how many times I've seen a bus run a SOLID red to complete a left turn, when there is clearly not enough room to complete the turn. So now they are stuck diagonally across an intersection, blocking ALL traffic!

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

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.

-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...
