Why do people drive so crazy??!!! It's scary when I have my daughter in the car and some jerk wants to ride my ass and just about hits me trying to pass. I'm not trying to speed to get out of his/her way. If your one of these drivers, Please Stop!! Before you kill someone one day!

I know the feeling

Do you have one of those signs in the back of your car warning of a 'Baby' or 'Small Child On Board' ?

Unfortunately, the insurance company considers me to be a "high risk" driver. I'm only 21 and I've been in 4 wrecks since I've had my license. I'm thinking about taking a defensive driving class to have all of my points back so the insurance won't go up. oh about the bumper drivers.....that irks the hell out of me. That's just one thing that will set me off while I'm driving....someone right on my bumper.

I don't, haven't seen those in a long time. Probably wouldn't make a difference with the way people are these days. Only worring about themselves. It's a shame!!
Or maybe this is just where I'm from.

my dad is one.

my mom let him buy an acura RSX, and of course it's his mid-life-crisis-mobile. no matter how much i yell at him "YOU'RE GOING TO KILL ME!" he persists in speeding outrageously and zooming up to cars that are slowing down, to zip around them at the last second.

i wanna torch that car. or make him give it to me. i'm a safe driver.

I have to be honest here and hold my hands up, coz I've been guilty of what you describe many a times Bad driving habits I guess but still no real excuse

Let me say though, whenever I've seen one of those 'Small Person On Board' signs, it always makes me slow down and think. It shouldn't come down to that but the way people drive becomes a habit and little signs like that are sometimes needed to alert our stupid brains


Get yourself a sign card or just let fools like that pass you. Your child's, and ultimately your own safty comes first.

I feel like I take my life into my hands everyday, during morning and evening rush hours...it seems it gets worse and worse...in the states...anyways! I am often filled with wihen I get home from work...

in fact don't even try to drive the speed limit or close to it...then you get taligated...
the list goes on and on...just remember ....try to drive carefully out there!

I swear 2 gawd- some driverz just piss me right up da wallz!! Da onez who piss me off and get a good *HONK* from me are da onez who eitherz...

1) Make a bad decision turn on2 oncoming traffic- and i happen 2 b da person they nearly RAM in2- *BEEEEEP!!!* What r you doinZ?!?

or

2) Toot ME when i'm drivin along a quiet street, tryin 2 find a buildingz- i pull over and THEY still honk!!So what do i do? *BEEEEEP!!!* Whateva!

oh yeah and

3) Pedestrians who CROSS where they can't cross, and i'm driving full speed aheadz!!! *BEEEEEP!!!* Fuck man, do ya wanna die?

Hey man- i make bad mistakez on da road from time 2 timez- but when OTHERZ do it on da road, i make sure THEY KNOWZ!!

I've doen those driving courses before. You really do learn a lot from them and how to handle the car in different situations.

Do they deal wif peoplez wif road rage?

Just use defensive driving.

I still like my idea of a speakin horn You toot it and it exclaimz "R U BLIND?" "ASS HOLE!!" and for da boyz who do lapz n check out chickz on da street as a hobby, toot ur hornz and "She'z Fresh- FRESH! Exciting..." playz while you scream "woo" when you pass by some 'hot chickz'

althom said:

yeah. The driver's ed. class that I took in high school wasn't very helpful. And the instructor, who was a football coach, would take us out with three other students in the car. That just made matters worse.

lilmissmissy said:

you know.....I hardly ever use my horn. I think I've used my horn a total of 3 times since I've been driving. People are so crazy these days you blow your horn at them, and they might get out of their car and shoot you. Unless it's someone old.....then you might give them a heart attack honking at them.

AnckSuNamun said:

Well crap!! I fink it very much dependz on da area ya drive inz- there is a suburb here called Sunshine and Footscray- i would nnneeever beep anybody there...but since my uni is in a real nice area- i don't care Bring it onz Volvo Man!!!

Offensive driving helps-or so I'm told, I live in Texas where everybody does what the fuck they want anyway.

Crazy bastards.

Who hasn't used their horn and ridden a few asses in their time?

I'm sorry but if the speed limit is 35 and you're driving 25, of course people are going to be tailgating you. I would do it. If you want to travel well below the established speed on a given road, at least have the courtesy to get in the right lane to allow those traveling along at a normal speed to pass. It's not fair to backup everyone else on the road just because youre in the mood to cruise along and are in no hurry.

Yes, there's people who are speed freaks and just want to fly past everyone no matter how fast you are going. But there are also those who make it a point to drive stubbornly slow, and backup traffic for miles. I can't count how many times I'm driving to work, and someone FLOORS it to pull out in front of me at the last second, then slams on the brakes and crawls down the street. Then they wonder why I'm pissed? Or worse yet, as soon as the lane switches from one to two lanes, they start driving OVER the dotted line, intentionally occupying both lanes, so I cant pass.

In various locations, I've seen minimum speed limit signs posted in addition to the regular speed limit signs. I wish they would implement that in more places.

(PS, when I say "you" in this message, it was about people in general, not you specifically. I was just venting)

The ones that piss me off are the ones that undertake you doing 70 miles an hour with a "Careful,baby on board" sign stuck to their rear window.

I've had a woman with kids (unbucked by the way) run a stop sign and almost hit me, she then follows me down the road yelling like it was my fault. I make it to where I was going and she pulls up behind me and gets out wanting to fight.
What's with that!!! I told to her to shut up and just leave cause her kids were in the car watching her and crying. (More insults) then finally she left, saying she'd be back.

I think she just saw all of my family walking around the house to see what the yelling was about. I was headed to a cookout with the whole family.


I felt bad for those kids, with a mom like that. They'll grow up and be 10 times worse. Poor babies!!
