Peeves!!!


Don't you just hate people that slow down or just don't even speed up in 'Accelaration Lanes'????????? Nothing gets my BP up than following somebody on a ramp and I don't have a clue what they're gonna do!
:confused:

And what the hell gives with idiots wanting to turn left at a 'green' light???? Lately, I see more and more stopping at the line you're supposed to stop at when the light is red! I checked and the law has never been changed! It's the same in all 50 states and overseasa to boot! Enter the intersection as far as deemed safe and turn when you get a break. Or, if the light changes, finish the turn and clear the intersection! Me, I see one sitting there, I just go around! They must have broken down to not have entered the intersection.:p

Re: Peeves!!!


Thats what the middle of the intersection is for, otherwise only one car can get through a green light when traffic is heavy from the other direction.

My peeve is, when you turn on your directionals to change lanes, with plenty of clearance, and then the car behind you in the other lane speeds up to try to prevent you from gaining access into the lane you were trying to get into.

You know, once you get in front of that SOB, you just Have To slam your brakes on for a split second, just to allow them a chance to feel the adrenalin rush.

Another one, is cars that are waiting in traffic and block the intersection, so that when you are on a side street trying to get onto the main road, you are SOL.

Re: Peeves!!!


mo-mo's that seem to want to make a 'right on red', on a multi-lane road; Traffic in the far lanes and they won't pull out until the WHOLE road is clear?? Then make a REAL hard right into the first lane anyway! WTF!!!

Re: Peeves!!!


Trying to change lanes seems easier when a trailer "sways" people tend to back off a bit and allow the merge, but then again the name on the truck keeps the VT Salutes to a minimum!

Re: Peeves!!!


I could get tail-gaters and lane change and passers whittled WAY down to a minimum if I wanted to.

Just start fish-tailing the tar kettle you are pulling behind you and watch everyone behind you slow down.
