Nothing infuriates me more than the situation you just described!

Being a salesmen I am on the road quite a bit and come across all sorts of retards on the road. The other thing that gets my goat is in a multi lane road vehicles are required by law to stay to the left hand lane/s if not over taking (Where speed limit is 80km or more and remember, we drive on the left). So many people sit in the right hand lane doing 10 or 15 under the speed limit whilst there is not a car in sight in the left hand lane. Here I am with my cruise control on and I have to duck and weave the traffic!

oh yes , I hate when that happens , after I started this thread I had a couple more incidents of people pulling out in front of me , Damn it just lites my fire ...

morons driving drives me nuts. I don't even want to get started on this cuz I would be here all day, choking on my own rage.

Try driving a moving van thru New York City. Everyone is just so friendly and accommodating when you're trying trying to find an address or need to stop traffic to back the van into a tight driveway. I hardly let it get to me any more because I'd end up pissed off half my working life. Then, add in the fact that I drive a motorcycle and have to play "dodge the assholes", "watch out for grampa" and "put down that cell-phone and pay attention, you fucking moron" Three of my favorite games .

This thread probably could have been put in the "Rant" thread.

I'd have to say my top two pet peeves while driving are:

1. when people pull out of a parking lot into your lane in front of you when there are no other cars behind you, just makes you ask why couldn't they wait the extra like 10 seconds

2. when people cannot pick a speed on a highway, makes me want cruise control too, but when the range from going 80 km/h then all of the sudden they'll be up to 110 km/h then back to 90, then up to 120 etc, just pick a speed already

Maybe because you were going 5 mph and/or blocking his lane with your tractor?

I HATE that one. They turn in front of you when they could have waited 5 seconds and just went behind you. This is the worst on the highway.
