Learn how to DRIVE!!!! (RANT)

MarcTonk · 08-23-2007, 10:45 AM

So im on the way to school and this person takes a right hand turn from the intersection not into the other two open lanes but my lane. I switch lanes and honk. I was going 60 they were going like 15 when the pulled out infront of me. RIGHT AFTER that a van full of illegals is my guess is in the painted median (center divider). Pull out block my ****ing lane and the one to the right of it and just stops. I had like 150-200 feet. I lock my brakes and slide into on coming traffic!

Stupid ****s learn how to drive! Learn how to not jump infront of someone, do the damn speed limit, use your turn signals! I could go on forever!

YES I MAD!

Cliff's: I MAD!

Why is it that you Americans are too dumb to use roundabouts on your road systems? Intersections and traffic lights are tedious as fuk!

u mad?

jk, i bet the person that turned in front of you was a woman(no sexist)

Miz-Zou · 08-23-2007, 10:56 AM

Oh how about the morons who have all the time in the world to merge (especially when turning right on a red light) and you can see them just inching forward thinking "Should I go?"

We all know they jump out of traffic in front of you, and then proceed to go 20mph causing you to slam on your brakes or merge and hope you can pull of a manuever that would make the chase in Ronin seem like amateur's play.

Not quit as bad as florida, I go there a lot and wow you got some dumb drivers. I am in Georgia. Some kid actually just walked into class like 2 min ago saying he almost saw a wreck. Some guy missing two cars... I told him it was me.

I dont know how some people get license, America should make the test a little bit harder IMO.

Diana Meeque · 08-23-2007, 11:00 AM

I know what you're talking about man....

I havent even been driving that long but I've noticed everything you mentioned....NOBODY signals, hardly anybody goes the speed limit (either like 10-15 miles over it, or 10 miles under it), and NOBODY looks for lane changes anymore. it's so ****ing ridiculous, even cops in my area don't signal and look, i caught one of them drifting over into my lane the other week, then he noticed there was a ****ing car there and got back where he was supposed to be.

a cop for christ sake

and about the no looking thing, some stupid chick (no sexist) was making a left turn out of the suicide lane after a truck turned (she was behind the truck), and i was going down the road at 45, and she doesnt look at all and just turns right in front of me. i came within like 2 feet of sideswiping that bitch, and the worst part is she didnt even notice that either. she didnt stop and look to see....she just kept driving like nothing happened.

I agree, the driving test is way too easy...it took me less than 5 minutes and it's on a closed course...they hand out licenses here like candy

TheStender · 08-23-2007, 11:02 AM

I recently moved to Houston, and now I know what people have strokes. I have to swear at about a dozen people a day and wonder what the hell is going through their mind when they do the crap that they do.

If your talking about circles, which yes Jersey does have are 100x worse than intersections.

I live in Florida but near Alabama. It's not so bad here. But when I went to Miami, I have never been so pissed off while driving.

Don't you hate it when your already going 15mph over the speed limit, and theres a dumbass riding your ass, when there's no one in the lane next to you!!!!!!!!

ocnscuba · 08-23-2007, 11:13 AM

I always have to speed past cars, and can never drive with anyone next to me because NO ONE LOOKS when they make a lane change...I wish I could understand what's going through their head...to make it worse I drive a very low car and the road is filled with about 70% trucks and SUVs that need to check their blind spots but never do. I'd be scared as hell to drive a bike on these roads

Yeah it sucks when people speed up when they see your turn signal on. I mean whats the big deal by speeding up your only going to save, what a few seconds at most?

Worldwide · 08-23-2007, 11:16 AM

Learn to slow down.

I've also almost been hit at least 4-5 times at the 4 way stops at the mall here, all by women on their cell phones coincidentally, they just ran right through the stop sign and I had to slam on my brakes to avoid them hitting the front of my car...man I wish there was a cop there

Which people driving unnecessarily large SUV's that complain how much their gas mileage sucks, never ever do.

user87459310247 · 08-23-2007, 11:29 AM

I enjoy the unpredictable-ness of driving. My dad always flips out when people do stupid **** but to me I'm just like whatever they didn't hit me it's fine. But then again my car is very safe.

Its a 55 getting off the highway by me. It turns to a 45 after a while, I was nowhere near the 45 yet.

There are some by me...

and roundabouts probably won't work well for a ton of our intersections anyway.

Yeah, if they're on my ass, I'll hit the brakes a little bit. They continue riding my ass, I slow down to almost nothing. They try to pass, I just swerve in front of them. If they get off my ass, then I speed up.

LMAO roundabouts are 200x more dangerouse than stop lights imo, maybe thats just because i grew up using stop lights though

I like people who try to use the "dumb American" or "dumb (insert nationality here)" approach for something. One thing I have noticed is that people who do this aren't too bright themselves.

We actually have and use roundabouts here and there. They are becoming more common and I like using them. If you weren't so dumb, you would realize that the ordinary citizen is not in charge of where and when roundabouts are placed.
