Whether you live in an urban or rural area, or anything in between, there's always that driver who annoys us.   So, give me your RANT about that person .......   

 

Mine:

 

Yesterday I was stopped at a red light and another car pulled up in the next lane.  His windows were open and his radio was up so loud that the audio actually made my car vibrate ... even with my windows closed it was awful!    Why can't people who want their music at full blast close their darn windows?   Why do we have to be subjected to their poor taste in music?   Aaaagh!

 

So .....  who annoys you?

Re: WHAT'S YOUR TRAFFIC RANT?

People who are so busy diddling with their cell phones, they can't be bothered to drive.  I cannot tell you how many times I've sat behind someone stopped at a light that turns green and they just sit there texting.  Same at stop signs.  I've been behind people who all of a sudden look up and realize they need to turn and cut over, almost ramming into me. 

 

Last week, I was leaving work and someone was at a complete stop on the road out of our campus.  I sat for a few seconds and realized, her head was down, like she was on her phone.  So I drove around her and as I passed, she looked up, smiled, and looked back down to her phone.  A few days later, the very same thing happened with that very same woman!!!  That day there were 3 of us that had to go around her.

Aggressive drivers- zipping around in traffic and also those that jump the light at an intersection. People need  slow down in all aspects fo life- leave enough time to get to wherever SAFELY!!

 

I'm extremely cautious when driving - I was taught most important with driving is watching out for the other guy/girl. And I do!!

Not using turn signals. Typical display of the 'it's all about me' world today.

Besides the obvious about cell phones, I hate when people drive too close behind me.  That just annoys me.

 

Does anybody look anymore before backing out of a parking spot?  It's ridiculous...

People honking when they don't even know what is going on.

 

Today I came up  behind a car on a two lane road which was stopped.  The driver behind me started going nuts on the horn.

 

Finally, I see two geese moving slowly (as geese in the street will) emerge and cross into the grass.

 

I would have stopped too.

 

People need to get a grip.

Tailgaters in left lanes who you let by (by going into middle lane) and then watching as they tailgate another person in the left lane!
