Road Rage 101: How To Piss Off Other Drivers

[badatusrnames]

Number 10 is my fave:

Number 8 is one I experience regularly. I find that in a car with such a low driving position that I frequently get blinded by headlights of oncoming vehicles. HIDs are the worst.

Haha I love it.

I prefer the oh, you're in a hurry, I will drive extremely slow, and when you try to pass, I will speed up, slow down and repeat.

or, ride someones bumper, then pass, then slow down below the limit.

Number 9 for me... nothing better than trying to back out (after how some people park ) and some asshat drives pass you at 50 km/h!

10 FTW

something i do when there is a jackass behind me is flip the rearview mirror down. that usually riles them up even more.

[samo147]

do people deliberately try blinding you by driving a little crooked and having their head lights shine directly into your eyes from your side mirrors

piss me off...

sometimes i wish i had a mirror that could come out from my rear window

[adam c]

if i'm on the highway and some jackass comes behind me with his high beams, i will slow down and keep slowing down until he passes me

i also wish i had a scrolling sign or something across my back window telling those fuckers to turn off their highbeams...

one day i'm just gonna get out of my car and smash their lights i swear

[BlackArcher101]

Uh, WTF is with #8. Do they not realize most headlights are halogen, even low beams? Seems like they think halogens = blue bulbs....

Haha nice list and yes trucks regularly stop behind me a little offset so their headlights shine right in the sideviews, maybe not on purpose who knows, I just flip the mirror down. When I was a wee childin I discovered that my Prelude had some perfect bolt holes on the back deck (thing over the trunk your 6x9s sit in) for mounting spare 2*50W halogen foglamps... nobody highbeamed or tailgated me then

[rc2002]

The only thing that really bug me are the people who drive with hgih beams on or HID plug and play kits in their halogen housings.

The rest of the items on that list I can deal with because I'm guilty of them from time to time.

I was on the highway once behind a big rig (WELL behind at that), I had my high beams on, and this asshole flips on a rearward facing light from under his side mirror to blind me.

My personal list of pet peeves:

- People who don't use turn signals (especially when I'm on the bike)
- People who confuse merge with yield
- People who forget about the pedal on the right when they're merging
- People who swing wide on left turns
- People who don't put their lights on when it's dark or foggy
- Anyone who drives a Corolla or Camry because the only reason you bought the car is because you don't give a shit about driving and all you care about is getting from point A to point B in the most boring, inattentive and slowest way possible. Every Toyota sedan should come with a bus pass, IMO

But my ultimate pet peeve is when I'm feeling nice and start slowing down to let someone into my lane in front of me, and they get it in their head that their Corolla is now 800 feet long and then when I realize I'm doing 50km/h on Crowchild and say "fuck them" and start to accelerate that they choose that exact moment in time to come into my lane

Those people should be removed from the gene pool.

Define "Well behind" if it was enough to make him to turn that light on, leave alone enough for that light to bother you.

AMEN!

Oh, and heres a fun idea:
I knew a dude who rigged up a container of marbles up behind his rear bumper... When people tailgated him, or had their high beams on in his face, he pulled his little lever thing and a whole wad of marbles would spill out from under his ass and those shits bounce when you release them at highway speeds!!!

Needless to say, few people could get away with some of those dickish driving habits for very long if they were following too closely behind him.

Best part: He's a middle aged Saturn driver !

So this person had no problem cracking other people's windshields that had nothing to do with the situation, and creating potential safety hazards for everyone else behind him?

Sounds like a stand-up guy.

I'm suprised i haven't broken my steering wheel off because of these people. i lose it when they do this. or when they yield like crazy and there isn't anyone coming for a mile! FUCK haha.
People need some "flow" or to smooth out there driving. i hate when people are all jerky and slowing down and speeding up and just dont anticipate situations!

[EM1FTW]

LOL @ number 9.
number 8 sucks in a low car

[yue]

for tailgaters just get highbeams installed in the rear. flip a switch and FLASH! they'll think they're traveling through time
