Hate that too. The problem is cars like Toyotas and Hondas have the illuminated dashes. It irriatates me so much when I'm in traffic, in dusk, and see all the idiots without lights. Since I can't flash my lights, I'd like to shine my mag light into their window.

This reminds me of an incident, ironically where the other driver was in a bimmer (335i IIRC). It happened near New Haven, CT, where I91 ends and one needs to merge on to either I95 N or S or take the exit into "downtown" New Haven. I91 is 4 lanes up until this point, where two fork slightly - of these two, the left one goes on to I95 South and the right one exits into town. The two lanes then themselves separate, and a median increasingly opens up between them as one goes relatively straight and other further to the right.

I'm on the I95S-bound lane at this point, when the E90 suddenly realizes he might be going the wrong way (mind you, there have been plenty of signs indicating which lane goes which way), and moves over a significant median into the I95S-bound lane, cutting me and everyone else off. I had to hit the brakes pretty hard. I hit the horn too, primarily for two reasons. Hitting the brakes hard on the freeway is a sign of potentially dangerous behaviour, so I wanted to let the E90 driver know that he had pulled a potentially dangerous and totally d'bag maneuver. I also wanted to wake up any dozing drivers behind me, so that we wouldn't get rear-ended.

Several minutes later, I find myself on the left lane on I95 stuck behind, of all people, the same E90 driver. Sometimes going as slow as the center/right slower lanes. After a while of this, I high-beamed him as a sign that he either needs to speed up on the left lane or move over to the right. Now, I've heard some people in places like Cali. will take this like a red rag to a raging bull, but here it's not quite the same declaration of road rage war (at least, not in moderation).

So after a while of holding up left-lane traffic, we finally reach a slightly more open stretch of road - I figure that he will either move to the right, now that it's more open, or that we'll have to overtake him on the right. Guess what? He stays at his grandma-esque pace in the left lane. So I signal and hit the gas, knowing my unbelievably torquey Corolla rental will be past the 335i in no time. To my shock, horror, and dismay, the Corolla is unable to muster its horses quickly enough before the E90 driver speeds up to cut me off (again) in this lane. 'Speeding up' is a relative term here, as our speeds may have gone up 2-3 MPH in the intervening few seconds.

I figure he belatedly realized he was holding up left-lane traffic and finally moved over to the right to let people through. So I signal to the left and hit the gas, summoning the strength of 100-odd horses galloping in 4 pots. Unbelievably, the E90 guy speeds up (barely a twitch of his right foot, I'm guessing) and moves to the left, cutting us off once again. Unbelievable, I think, there's no way all these manuevers could be intentional.

So I move right, and get cut off once again, this time a little brake-check adding further d'baggery and potential danger to the mix. I weigh my options. I wonder if I can call his bluff, if he'll really cut me off again as I'm about to pass, full (Corolla) steam ahead. I calculate the chances of getting alongside (or even getting to the rear fender) before being cut off are slim to none. I wonder if a little feint might work. Signal to change lanes when close behind him, and then slam the gas straight ahead as the 335 changes lanes. I figure it's likely enough the E90 will swerve back, either swerving ahead of us, i.e. calling my bluff and forcing me to brake OR simply swerve into us in the off chance that we might have gotten anywhere close to being abreast of him.

The obvious answer, with two passengers, is none of the above. The fact that it's Corolla vs 335 just ruins the faint chances of success altogether. So mentally I call an end to this particular d!ck-measuring game of Chicken. I decide to invest in the 'Out of Sight, Out of Mind' theory of d'bag avoidance. I blend into traffic that is slightly slower, and less than a couple minutes later, neither of us can see the other. 5 minutes later, we join a faster procession in the left lane and, a few minutes after that, we eventually pass, without incident, the d'bag E90 driver sandwiched between two tracto-trailers to our right.

people who try to merge or change lane at the last minute/seconds on a fast and heavy traffic. saw a lexus once spun multiple times on the freeway after merging to 5N from 91W on the last second (right about where Shelly BMW is for those familiar). luckily he didnt hit me cause he was beside me and i saw his nose pointing on my rear passenger door side and luckily the last spin put the car by the exit. i saw the cars behind the lexus stopped. cant people just exit and go around to get to the right freeway?

Don't you just love the asshats that "change lanes" in the lane that merges? I always love pissing them off by moving over to so they can't get by, and then they realize the lane ends.

As I am driving this teenage white kid tool in a old ass VW pulls up next to me and starts hooting and hollering. Like "WOOOOOOOOOOOO" and "VROOOOOM-VROOOOMMM!" My grandma asked me "what is that guy doing?" I didn't answer her and continued to drive. Needless to say I was fuming. For a good two miles this jackass was doing this and I just looked ahead. I had a pounding headache and this moron made it even worse.

I pull into her street and the guy sticks his head out the window and gives me one last "WOOOOOOOOOO" and proceeds straight I pull into the driveway, take her stuff out of the trunk, say good bye, and go after the clown.. this time.. no granny in the car. I pull out and what do i see? Numb-nuts at the stop light. I pull up next to him and roll down my window. No more hooting.. no more hollering.. quite and he's trying to ignore me.

I scream out "Hey! You got a problem?" He turns to me and has this scared look on his face and he all of a sudden had the stutters." Uhmm.. Uhhh.. No I dont. I then said,"Why the hell were you screaming and hollering at me for? Why dont you pull that piece of sh%t over and we can have a little talk." He stutters some more "No.. Uhhh.. I was just saying you have a nice car.." I said,"Bullsh$t don't you ever disrespect my grandma or me ever again. You're lucky I dont get out of this mutherf%^er right now and kick your ass." I hear a "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean it like that!" Light turns green and I give him a "thats what I thought you little bi%ch!", I then made a U-Turn and went home.

I am in no way proud of this incident and probably shouldnt have done it but I was pretty livid. Headache+idiots=Bad Situation

-I am curious to see what you guys go through. If you get jackasses like this guy i had...
Damn if that was me I'd be scared for my life lol. Guess the kid learned his lesson lol.

Drivers who floor it and then slam on their brakes in stop and go traffic. In LA, I'm sitting in traffic and leave about 10 car lengths in front of me because I know what's going to happen: I'll just roll on idle and everyone in front of me is going to come to a stop in 10 seconds anyway and I'll catch up. So I always get the retards behind me going apeshit in their car because I'm leaving so much space. What do they do? Tailgate me within three feet, then swerve into the other lane, floor it, give me the finger as they are passing, swerve in front of me, floor it for another three seconds and then slam on their brakes because of the traffic in front of them.

I've been thinking about making a video and taping all these idiots. It's mind boggling how these guys in LA can't see but 10 feet in front of their car.

This is why we have traffic and why we use so much gas.

Ha, come on... 99% of the time people braking are doing it b/c they're fucken awful drivers. Braking unnecissairly, braking constantly/ riding the brakes... 99.8% of the people that drive on the roads SUCK, so statistically they're probably not heel-toe'ing.

One of my many peeves is the guy that tailgates the car in front and blinks the brakes every 100 yds.

Another is one that drives around with the rear fog light on with visibility better than half a mile.

Driving with parking lights. They're not called "parking lights" for nothing. I think the auto makers should be required to redesign the light switch so that the headlights come on at the first position and the parking lights only at the second.

Agreed. Some people are just oblivious, they turn a switch and once the cabin lights come on, they think their headlights are on as well.

Plus the people with really bright fog lights who drive around with their fog lights on and no headlights are just as bad.

Something that just happened to me this afternoon on my way home...Tailgaters...

I passed this MK4 Jetta, driven slowly by some young kid and his friends in the car with him. I went in front of him because my exit was approaching...he then sped up and proceeded to tailgate me...

There are a lot of things that piss me off on the road every day but I just try and let them go as they're not worth the headaches. Although I'm sure I might be guilty of one of those things one time or another.
