I’m whichever one it takes to pi$$ off the drivers around me the greatest! : )
I drive a concrete mixer that fully loaded to its maximum capacity is close to 80,000lbs.
I believe I am near the top of the food chain so to speak, not much on the roads can argue with me, bigger is better in my books.
Oh and I drive a Silverado dually to work.
Ping for later
I’m not sure whats happened in the last ten years but people have no clue what to do in a merge anymore. At least twice a month someone tries to pass me at the last second going into a merge and then decides not to and ends up forcing me to either floor it or slam on my brakes. People are freaking idiots.
I’m the kind that drives 0 to 5 miles per hour over the speed limit, give others the right-of-way, and slows for idiots who think an on-ramp is their personal invitation to cut-in.
My driving technique seems to annoy quite a few. But no tickets, no accidents, and I get there roughly the same time as they do.
I'd like to meet some day, I carry a leaky nuclear reactor on my back seat. LOL!
lol I always drive the speed limit or maybe 5 miles over. My pet peeve is tailgaters and real slow drivers
I hate the drivers that barrel past you, only to get ahead of you, so they can turn at the next corner.
I mean, seriously, what were they trying to accomplish, aside from me running into the back of them?
Which one is the guy who charges through a red left turn arrow at the last moment even though oncoming traffic has already entered the intersection?
I have my own, somewhat less cutesy, names for these, and other types I encounter on the highway —
I’d share ‘em with the class, but they’d be sure to get me banned (and probably drawn, quartered, and burned-at-the-stake) by the Mods.....
When conditions are good, I tend to drive a bit dangerously, but I’m highly cautious when conditions aren’t the best.
Those are the kinds that most tempt me to open fire.
Probably the same one that pounces on a fresh green light without checking for oncoming traffic...
Yeah, I’ve had people barrel past me at that merge and then stop 300 feet later to make a left into the strip mall.
What about the ones who pass you, then pull in front of you and slow down. Here in NH, we call them Massholes.
I used to follow a guy into work who was so cautious he was dangerous. He would acutally stop in the road to let people come out of side streets. We had to cross over a highway that had a good half-mile view in either direction and he wouldn’t go if he could even see anyone coming.
I tried seaking to him once and tell him that by stopping when people weren’t expecting anyone to stop he was actually increasing his chances of getting rear-ended but he just started going off on how safe he was so I walked away. It got to a point that as soon as I saw him I would go around him.
Yeah....No passing Nates are my favorite drivers to hate. Don’t drive 5 mph under the limit and expect not to get passed. I’ll cut them off in a heartbeat.
