Mine is when the driver in front of me doesn’t put the indicator on and just turns. People who tailgate even though I’m not in the fast lane and the lanes around me are clear. I turn on my indicator and turn to the clear lanes just to get away from them with a safe speed.
So, what’s your pet peeve while driving or being in a car? And, do you have any tips on not getting upset at what happens while on the road?
Re: What’s your pet peeve while driving?
Mine is when my passengers tell me how to drive. It’s really annoying and I lose my focus, makes me dangerous.
Re: What’s your pet peeve while driving?
come to think of it, nothing really bothers me while I am driving lol except for the times when I am not allowed to bring food/eat in the car ![]()
Realllllly slow drivers in the fast lane that refuse to move to slower lanes
Re: What’s your pet peeve while driving?
i hate those who do not obey highway traffic laws of all kind.
Re: What’s your pet peeve while driving?
When my mom whose sitting beside me points to a car 1000 metres ahead and goes… yeh idher ho raha hai… yeh idher ho raha hai!!! Ya Allahhhhh khair karna.. haye hayeee!
and then..DEKH K CHALAOOOOO!!! after every 4.7 minutes.
The drivers honking behind me when I drive slower because im browsing gs on my phone.
Seeing motorists not yield to emergency vehicles.
People that follow an emergency vehicle & try to go through the traffic at the same speeds as those emergency vehicles. Darn it Ahole I didn’t make that space for you.
Drivers that do not make a complete stop at a stop sign or make a rolling stop.
Drivers that speed in residential areas.
Drivers that do not slow down in school zones.
People that drive below 55 mph on a highway.
People that enter highway traffic at 40 mph & forget that they are supposed to increase their speed by the time they start merging.
People that curse & flip fingers. You are a grown up now. Show some class or better yet go take an anger management class.
People that tailgate. You are trying to intimidate me, now wait & watch me not increase my speed or maintain enough speed so you can’t pass me either. (This attitude is not there if I have my child in the car or any other passengers)
People that honk for no reason.
Drivers that take all the time in the world to make a yielding left turn.
The worse one, drivers that cross a red light. If it is raining or snowing I get that sometimes it’s smart not to apply brakes. Other than that please act responsibly & stop when you should.
Re: What’s your pet peeve while driving?
^excellent list. Allow me to humbly disagree on a couple points. And maybe I can get you to change teams on those points.
- Rolling stop. Most times, in fact 99 put pf 100 a full stop is not needed. You approach stop sign at low speed. If coast clear keep going. Rolling stop is safer of course than previous option. Rolling stop is more than sufficient..sine rolling friction < static friction, less FUELNWASTED. There is one town in Europe EITHOUT ANY STOP SIGNS AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS. An environmentalists heaven. Gentleman’s agreement.
Re: What’s your pet peeve while driving?
Drivers that drive below 55 mph highway. Vehickes Max fuel efficiency at 45 to 55 mph. If highway empty I go at 55. If not I try to not exceed 60 mph. Good for environment
Re: What’s your pet peeve while driving?
Cursing and flipping. Can be therapeutic.
Re: What’s your pet peeve while driving?
Drivers that drive up in ur ass as if thats going to make th traffic move faster. I often slow even more down. Tsk tsk
Re: What’s your pet peeve while driving?
People who don’t say thankyou when you give way..
Re: What’s your pet peeve while driving?
- Molvies, literally suicidal 98% of them.
- Oldies
- Women
Re: What’s your pet peeve while driving?
I get flared up when I see over confident drivers , who snare at you while going past ! In which case, I drive even slower and well within the legal framework ![]()
I think the only way to stay out of road rage is to concentrate on self and not focus on anything that is going on around you .. For example, many a times I come across pathetic drivers who want to go ultra fast on a 30 mph road , do I give way? nope , they honk and honk, but who cares , I am not going to break the law only coz you want me to!
Re: What’s your pet peeve while driving?
Also ppl who hog the middle lane of the motorway.. Is it that hard to just move to the left..
Yap..up to this day..my dad sometimes would tell me…“u shouldnt have taken this turn like this”.
My other pet peeve is that when i am going straight and i see someone from street corner trying to cut in the road..but knowing you are coming and it is my right way and in speed..they quickly want to take this chance. Pisses me off!
Re: What’s your pet peeve while driving?
Speaking of turns,there are some highways with 70 mph speed limit. And an exit recommended at 25 mph (270 deg turn). So while you try to get to optimum speed of 49 mph at the exit (25 mph is for old people), the straightway speedsters over take you at 80 mph. Then literally come to a grinding halt at exit. So much so that as u r taking exit at 49 mph, they slow u down halfway thru the turn. U want to shake them up and say approach the curve at correct speed. Thou SHALL NOT ACCELERAATE AND BRAKE.
What’s a motorway? And why should one move to left lane which is fast lane? Lets have some foreworks
What’s your pet peeve while driving?
The only thing that annoys me is slow drivers. I know sometimes I over speed but seriously it pisses me off. Road rage at it’s peak!
Re: What’s your pet peeve while driving?
^ remember. 55 mph is ideal for gas mileage. Anything faster wouldn’t be prudent.
