The drivers that you hate!
Post a type of driver that you hate/pet peeve.
1. I hate the drivers that get onto a freeway on ramp and putter at 30 mph until they've actually merged while I'm behind them. I got news for you buddy, you can't get on/drive on the freeway at that speed!

The typical moron that drives in the left lane and drags the whole lane of traffic behind them because they won't move over for the life of them, and then you make a move to go around them and then they speed up! Grrrrrrrrr

Oh, there are so many things....
But the thing I hate the most is:
When people don't use their turn signals!
Are you too stupid to figure out how they work or are you just to lazy to move your hand or finger?
They come standard on every car, so it not like they are an option! If you don't use them, I won't let you over!

And AFAIK, the left lane isn't a passing lane. It's just a lane. There's no word or anything on the ground marking it as a "passing" lane.
What state do you live in? lol

No, it does not expressly state that the left lane is for passing, but it does state that if you are moving slower than the flow of traffic, you MUST keep right. However, many other states DO enforce a passing left lane law.

And so what speed does this guy want to go on the highway? Probably over the speed limit. He'll deserve the ticket more.
So then what? Keep the left lane empty?
Lol have fun driving on the right side of the road with the big rigs then, my friend.

It's not like bottlenecking the fast lane is going to stop the speeder... They'll just pass on the right and endanger the minivan full of kids. A speeding car on the left is far less dangerous than one cuttinin and out on the right. Furthermore, cutting off trucks and slow cars means that they have to brake, and they take longer to recover their speed... This means that the entire flow of traffic and speed is reduced.
If you move, the danger is reduced for everyone... And it is a win win situation. Nothing is gained by blocking the fast lane. It is purely selfish and puts OTHER people at risk. It puts you in JUST as bad a position as the speeder- it means that you have no regard to other people's safety.
Damn the speeders and let them be on their way... Don't make them weave in and out and turn what would have been a 1-2 car accident into a multi-vehicle wreck.

I already know what lane to use, thank you very much. Ticket? Lol sure thing buddy. Who ever said I was going way under the speed limit? A max speed limit is there for a reason. If everyone went the same speed, guess what? We'd have no problems!
When should the left lane EVER be clear? It's a lane for a reason, use it.
I'm not bottlenecking or blocking the fast lane lol, I'm going along my merry way with the flow of traffic at 70-75mph, and someone wants to zoom by going 80+? No thanks, I'll keep my speed. Don't tell me I'm blocking the fast lane and putting other people in danger, because I'm the one driving normally.
Want to try to pass me on the right? Screw you, I'll cut you off so you can't pass me. And THEN I'll brake in front of you.
Furthermore, I already know everything you're telling me. No crap it's dangerous. No crap cutting off cars is dangerous. Your logic is plain common sense.
Don't tell your stuff to me, tell it to those jerks on the road.
I just get back at them when they try to mess with me.

Instead of opinions, how about some facts? States with left lane laws usually have a lower highway accident rate than states without them.
In Germany, many roads do not have speed limits (although many do). The left lane law is strictly enforced there, and surprise surprise? Their accident rate and fatality rate is MUCH lower than our American interstate system. Many countries prove time and time again that speeding cars do not always lead to a higher accident rate, but it is rather related more so to the improper flow of traffic and mismatching of speeds.
Fact: speed limits were not imposed for safety reasons. They were introduced nationally during the oil crisis of yesteryear to conserve oil.
Fact: the federal speed limit used to be 55MPH, but has since been raised to 65MPH and even higher if a highway meets certain criteria.
I'm not saying that everyone should drive 100MPH is safe, but that if relative speeds are equal, reaction times remain constant, assuming that that there are no stationary objects.
In agreement with you, however, it is definitely stupid to speed through a group of cars travelling at a much slower speed. Being above the flow speed of traffic is just as dangerous as being below the flow speed. The key concept here is relative speeds.
A car going 45MPH with traffic flow of 65MPH is just as dangerous as a car going 80MPH in the same scenario. Reaction distances may be different, but reaction times are the same.
Another fine example are motorcycles. They really shouldn't try to weave through traffic, but they do. Fact: a crashed motorcycle doesn't help anyone. It would result in a heavy traffic jam, police reports, etc. Why not move a little to make sure that they can easily get through. I do. Although they abbot me, and I shouldn't have to move, I do anyway for the greater good.
I'll end my arguement in saying that you are justified in placing blame in the speeders. But I'd like to argue that you do not help the situation, and you only make it worse.

i hate people who drive like idiots because they think they're cool or because they try to impress. example, this 30's ish guy driving a 300z today who's trying to be cool by drifting around the corner in our development and then ending up in my front yard. yeah that's great buddy good job
