Know how to drive?

[i2ain2thunder 10+ year member]

I'm an aggressive driver, but I'd like to think I'm also a curtious driver. If you're going faster than me behind me in the middle/left lane, I will move over to let you through. If you are a bus truck and are trying to get over a lane, I will let you in. If you are merging on the highway and we are speed matched I will move over a lane so neither of us have to accelerate/brake. I do not cockblock you just because you are tailgating me I'll move over as soon as I can when it is convenient. If the light is turning yellow/red and I am going straight I will stop so that you can safetly make your left turn from the middle of the intersection. I will judge speeds before I change lanes so that I do not cut you off.

I like being curtious, because I like it when other people are curtious to me. However I never see anyone else out there caring about other drivers. (Typical scenario this morning on the way to work I am in middle lane going 65 speed limit is 55 woman in right lane going 50 decides time to change to middle lane, doesn't wait for me to go by instead she pulls in right in front of me and I have to brake //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Is there anyone left with a brain that isn't a ***** on the road?

I do the same as you. Always move to the left lane if a cop has someone pulled over/someone is merging on, etc. Annoys me when people don't do simple things like that

I know right. I can't immagine what other drivers are even thinking in those circumstances...my guess has always been they aren't thinking/caring about what is going on around them.

same as you man, my biggest thing is when a lane ends and some clown jumps into that lane to merge/cut off someone a few cars ahead in traffic. I also hate it when in bumper to bumper traffic clown behind me rides by tail like I can just go straight through traffic, just chill we all stuck in the same boat. I am a defensive driver and very cautious of my surrounding. I also try to let ppl in when they have their indicator on but I do expect that if I let you in to atleast give me the "thank you" wave, I always give it.

People are self centered pricks. This becomes glaringly obvious in two places, on the internet, and on the road.

How about people who go around you on the left side just to get off on an exit that is on the right side? Or people changing lanes for no reason who cut you off only to get into the lane they think is faster?

I'm not sexist at all cept when it comes to driving. Yes women can not drive. Every one of them I've been in a car with I end up asking how they make it day to day without any accidents. Usually they get defensive and tell me they've only had 1/0 accidents tickets. (like that means they know how to drive) I usually end up reminding them that they may not have been in many accidents, but I've witnessed them almost cause about 3 in the last 5 minutes. My last GF changed lanes in the middle of the intersection on a highway. Some guy was making a right turn and starting to turn into the right lane. GF had to swerve around them and she started calling them a dumba$$, I had to remind her that you should never change lanes in the middle of an intersection.

something I really hate is motorcycles that come zooming in between cars that are in traffic, I really want to just open up my door on them. i am all about motorcycle safety but driving between cars, you're just wanting to die. the least they can do is go to the shoulder or car pool lane so we can see them. I see too many of those motorcycle stickers that say "look twice save a life", how about don't ride your **** bike like you're an escaped convict.

Most people don't actually drive anymore, they just react to what's going on around them. The car in front of them goes faster, they go faster, the car in front of them slows, they slow. They're not going fast enough, they change lanes, regardless of others around them. Audioholic is correct, this all stems to people being self centered pricks. If people actually gave a fuck about others, they'd drive a lot more sensibly.

EDIT: Racing from stoplight to stoplight is one of my favorites... People wonder why they get such shitty gas mileage. Maybe if they took it a little easier on the skinny pedal it wouldn't be so bad. Next time you're at the front of a line of cars at a stop light accelerate hard and watch the dumb bitch out accelerate you just because that's how people drive. Also, I guarantee if you pay attention, you'll find that 90% of other drivers are constantly on the phone when they drive.

I cant stand people who drive like its a race to get somewhere. My boy does that all the time. Has to fly everywhere he goes. 40-50 in a 25 mph. Actually makes me mad sometimes.
