Hate when this happens. But it's funny picturing you getting all fired up about it.

I've probably posted this one before but when someone on a single lane road is making a left and rather than hug the middle line, they stay like 2-3 feet off of it, thus preventing me from continuing driving around them, into the shoulder, and onward. So ****ing inconsiderate. Whenever I am them, I literally try to almost be on the middle line so that people can go around me unencumbered in such situations.

That maneuver(passing in the right) isn't legal if there is solid white line. Otherwise, I totally agree.

Let me first start off by saying **** off. I never mentioned a red light. I never mentioned cross walks and residential areas. The areas of which I spoke are ones where the speed limit is typically 40-55. Now, I'll continue by saying that all of those instances you mentioned suck big time. The girl's death is awful. But they're easily avoidable. If a driver uses his or her ****ing eyes, it's really not too tough to see about 200 meters ahead and whether there are bicycles or a mailman in the shoulder or people walking across the street. Now get off your ****ing high horse.

Why respond? Anyone that swings wide right to turn left is one the dumbest asshelmets on planet earth. Nonsensical idiot drivers with no sense cause there head is planted firmly up there arse.

I swing wide right to make a left on a one lane just to make sure people don't pass me. My mailman got hit from this, a young girl(1st grade) in my neighborhood got killed in the crosswalk, and I have sat on my porch and seen multiple bicyclists get run off the road. One lane is meant for one car. That is why it isn't 2 lanes. When it is more than one lane you still need to stop if the person in front of you does. Don't whip around them like an ******* cuz you are in a big hurry to wait at the next red light.

Do you also make sure to slow way down and take the turn extra easy, especially when there's someone behind you?

Don't forget to have a satisfied little smirk to yourself once the car behind you finally gets to move on.

Little cars that act like they're pulling big trailers are the worst.
 
stupid motorcyclists not wearing helmets who try to get into a "road rage style" race for lane position against an automobile


this was on a city street - a sort of major local street but one with one lane of traffic in either direction and a parking lane on the right (with signs saying "No Driving in Parking Lanes")and with cars sporadically parked along the way - FYI, the limit is 25 mph

I was at the front of 2 other cars, I was driving about 28-30 mph, approaching a red light a couple blocks ahead, when I notice in my side mirror a guy on a motorcycle coming up on the right, riding in the parking lane. He was trying to get in front of the guy in the car behind me, who was bound and determined not to let him in. We get to the light (it's red) and I'm in the left turn lane - the car that was behind me is next to me on my right, and the motorcyclist pulls up to his right (technically in the "right turn" lane)

Of course, the guy on the motorcycle was NOT turning right, he just wanted to get ahead of the guy next to me - as I'm sitting waiting to make my left turn, they both gun it and the motorcyclist gets ahead of the car, so the car gets into the right to pass the motorcyclist, who had to slow down because there was a guy ahead of him waiting to make a left turn. So I see the car pull ahead and in front of the guy turning left that was blocking the motorcyclist. At that point, I lost sight of them.

If you're gonna be STUPID that way on a motorcycle, at least wear a helmet.

(And it wasn't even a big motorcycle, it was actually more of a big motor scooter.)
