What really "honks" you off while driving?

[rbattelle]

People who do not use turn signals!!

Grrrr... . I don't know what's worse, people who don't signal at all, or people who emit a single blink from the light after they've already made the lane change.

My coworker is one of those people. Thinks he's a great driver - he's one of the most discourteous drivers I've ever met.

I also hate the people (usually women, usually on the phone) who tailgate me for miles and miles when the left lane is empty. Then, as soon as I change lanes, they take off like a rocket.

When pulling my trailer, cars will speed around you on the interstate only to slow back down when they get in front of you causing you to back off your speed. The "others" can't stand being behind a trailer even if their speed is slower then yours. (Now that you asked if feel better getting that off my chest... lol.

Yep, that pisses me off too. If the morons didn't tailgate our trailers they would be able to see around them just fine. They don't want to drive faster, don't even want to drive as fast as we are towing, they just don't want anyone to be in front of them.



When I was driving my old '01 Ram with 275 horse mh injectors and 3. 54 gears pulling a conventional Airstream or Avion, after about the second time some clown like that passed me and slowed down, when they tried to pass the third time I put my foot in the old Cummins HO. About 99% of them discovered they couldn't pass a Dodge Ram, even when it was pulling a trailer. And I discovered I could pull an Airstream at 98 mph! No Ford or Chevy pickup can run that fast! I don't recommend it but it can be done.

Anyone who is frustrated driving where you live should try a week in Lubbock, TX where I live. I would rather pull a heavy fiver through LA in 70 mph traffic than drive across Lubbock in a car. We have the dumbest drivers on the planet.



They never look beyond their hood ornament, never use a turn signal, never use the appropriate lane, accelerate when a light is going to change to red, and look around at the "scenery" when a light changes green. To drive defensively in Lubbock you have to carefully watch every other driver very carefully and assume he or she will do the dumbest thing you can imagine..... and they often do.

When the rice cookers down here want to race on a two lane highway and they slow down to 30, honk 3 times and punch it, but go NOWHERE(just sound like whacked out weed eaters) they slow down to do it again and at honk 3 I punch it and pass them on the shoulder in a cloud of soot... Then they wanna try and race you but they can't keep up. Silly ricer, get a real vehicle

Yes!! Amen to that. And then you get those stupid ones with no life and they go up and down the same road making there car sound like the whacked out weed eater at midnight. Try sleeping with that#@$%!

As a side ?? to LEOs : How much currency is a bad idea to get caught with if pulled over?

I'm not an LEO, but IIRC, you really shouldn't have over $10k in cash on you. If you do, you better have proof of where it came from. Over that, or no proof, they assume it is drug money and will more than likely take it from you, to never be seen again.

Have read about that a few instances of that happening to some truckers that carried cash for buying fuel or repairs. Or, in the one instance, the trucker said he didn't trust banks, and had something like $25-30k in a safe in the truck. Had no receipts, and they took it from him. Been over 6ths, and still no sign of getting it back.

Yep, I call that the "Pinkey blinker". When such a driver wants to make (usually a right) turn, they stick their pinkey finger out to catch the turn signal switch as they turn the steering wheel, giving you about one wink of the signal AS they make the turn, AFTER they simultaneously jammed on the brakes to make said turn... #@$%!#@$%!#@$%!

Anyone that is yacking on their cell phone while driving, as most people cant do two things at once, let alone drive without that thing attached to their hand/head.
