There's this country route near me if you're lucky you won't see another car, and you can just go. Burn it. The road is recently paved with all these twists and turns, it's wonderful.

cyclists are fine but lol when they cut in line at a two way or four way stop completely busy with cars. No. Wait your loving turn like everyone else, I don't see your inability to know how the right of way, it is the least predictable thing to do, ever.

How about the folks at 4-way stop sign intersections who tail someone to get through? i.e. instead of waiting their turn, they just drive along with the car in front of them. Truly a scum move. Drivers who tailgate in residential areas are as bad. Both instances are rare compared to other types of bad driving, but really mind-boggling when you experience it. pizzapocketparty fucked around with this message at 05:06 on Dec 22, 2023 |

redshirt posted:How often do you see this? I'll see the stop-sign move maybe three to four times a year, and a residential tailgater maybe like once or twice a year. So like I said, somewhat rare, but something about it bugs me so much. Maybe because it's so egregious and there's such low-stakes? Like you might be able to shave off some time running red lights or speeding on a highway if you're driving for 12 hours -- but not so much at a stop sign. pizzapocketparty fucked around with this message at 05:31 on Dec 22, 2023 |

nice obelisk idiot posted:Alternatively, people who slow down to like 10-15mph in a 25mph zone once they enter their immediate neighborhood. Wide streets, perfect visibility, no pedestrians- just enforcing what they think the speed limit should be in their mind. Yeah, that gets weird too. There's a stretch near me that has alternating "35mph" and "SLOW" signs, and it seems that some people only see the latter and drive 20-25mph. Occasionally you'll get a 15mph'r but at that point I assume they're an old codger. I'm assuming the "SLOW" signs got added since it's a wide street and many people happily drive it at 50mph. pizzapocketparty fucked around with this message at 05:32 on Dec 22, 2023 |

He looked askance at why I was upset as he explained he was simply there to pick up his wife, & our initial plan to have him back up was abandoned when it was clear he didn’t know what was going on so had him turn off the car to avoid sudden acceleration until his wife showed up to help. To her credit she was apologetic & sorry for the trouble.

I haven't seen people do it at a 4-way stop, but I see people do it to make a left with a dedicated signal when it goes to yellow and then incoming traffic goes straight, literally every day. I get that if you don't make it, you're pretty much hosed until the next cycle gives you another dedicated turn signal, but I've seen 2-3 cars glued to each other, and it's particularly frustrating because it's a blatant "well what are you gonna do about it" thing. You either stop short to let them go or you demolish their passenger side.

I regularly drive on a street where the left turn signal is only long enough to let two cars pass (before it turns into a yield turn, anyway) and that's only if they're paying attention. Nobody is ever on the ball. I think I'll take the bus.

I've noticed these things happens when the traffic light has been set to a very short duration for the green light. People who drive there often start learn this behaviour and it's pretty natural when you think about it. I've often wondered, why don't the traffic planners just extend the green time for that light and give people more time? I get that it's a less trafficked path and so is prioritized down over the others, but this kind of planning is leading to bad behaviour in traffic, why not just extend the time instead, seems better than what it leads to in practice. It's like putting a speed limit so low nobody follows it.

For example, because I am like this, I noticed there was one traffic light that was causing untold other problems. Downtown Boston, Mass Ave and Boylston. The little side street with the light down the way a bit was the problem. I even went out one Saturday morning and observed the intersection for an hour. That one little side street light was causing the big intersection of Mass and Boylston to jam up, which then led to traffic jams in all directions contacting it, including all the way back to Storrow Drive. It was amazing, it was this one stupid traffic light. I called the Boston Transportation Department and amazingly got in touch with a person who could do something about this light. And they did change it, and the traffic jam cleared, and I realized I could never trust any official system again. How was is it, I, a pedestrian, could so easily identify this obvious traffic flow issue?

The worst part about driving is a lot of the other drivers on the road. I'm convinced that people get behind a wheel and instantly lose 50+ IQ points. Among the many obnoxious habits of drivers in my area, and probably yours as well (too lazy to read all nine pages):
I have a lot of driving related pet peeves, obviously.

To me, if people would learn to appreciate safe following distances it would avoid so many of the accidents. It's just so loving simple and actually requires less work. My favorite thing on the freeway is what I call the "Left Lane Choo-Choo Train," which seemed to take off in Wisconsin after we raised the speed limit: Basically the right lane is people with their cruise locked to the speed limit or lower than the speed limit, the latter mostly being the drunks and real old fucks. The left lane then, is people who I don't think are looking at their speedometer much at all. Their thought process is more like "Is there car in front of ME!??? Car should move!!!" So you just see this line of cars like less than 10' from each other's bumpers going like 85-90, 95-100, trying to make moves like the NASCAR line or whatever. Given that some people are going too slow in the right lane, sometimes you have find your way into the left lane choo-choo train, and you'll have some psycho get even closer to you in their fuckin Denali while you're just trying to overtake the semi truck going a little low, which should be obvious. The upshot is just setting your cruise control to like 5mph over the limit, like a normal person, is becoming impossible to do over a long stretch. There just is no flow with these fucks. loving nuke Waukesha county Wisconsin. 20 Blunts fucked around with this message at 16:20 on Dec 22, 2023 |

A bit of driving schadenfreude is what I like to call the Penalty Box, wherein someone in the middle lane tries to floor it and pass the truck in front of him on the right, not seeing the car in the right lane just hidden by the truck, and he gets boxed in by the slow car in front of them and the truck to their left. Bonus points if the cars that were behind him close the gap with the truck and he gets stuck in the box as multiple other cars pass him in the center lane.
