NOBODY IN THE WORLD CAN DRIVE

[Finity]

ok
nobody on this PLANET KNOWS HOW TO DRIVE

on my simple commute to school down sunset blvd. and on the freeway, i hafta deal with people trying to side swipe me because they dont bother to look if im there, people not being able to stay in their lanes
and retards cutting me off

oooooooooooh and at mcdonalds the other day i was walking infront of the drive through line to get to my car, and im walking the clearly designated walking area, and this fool, after he gets his food, just floors it at me! i hafta jump outta the way so that he doesnt kill me. but after i jumped, i turned quickly and planted my foot right into the side of his car. that'll show him

and stupid pedestrians!! ARGH!!!

im in the cross walk waiting to make my right turn

these stupid pedestrians walking get all angry or something that im in the cross walk and they hit the back of my car

YOU WERENT THERE WHEN I WANTED TO MAKE MY TURN!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH

i dont like retards touching my car
im sorry, but i feel strongly about this

and metallica = sucks

I know exactly how you feel. Twice this happened to me when going to the airport. I'm in the slow lane and a car is litterally right next to me. The driver could have looked to his right and seen my face. But NOOOOOOOOO he just decides he wants to get into my lane. I'm honking and honking but he is oblivious so I have to nearly slam on my brakes to let him in without getting killed. Luckily both times this exact event, no car was close enough behind me to crash into me when I applied my brakes.

Another thing that always happened to me was at this one intersection where the car crossing the intersection had a yield sign, and I didn't have any sign (no stop sign or yield sign, nor any lights). A car stops at the intersection looking like he's going to let me pass but, NOOOOOOOO I get to the intersection and that person steps on the gas sending me into 180 spins. This happened like 3-4 times. Finally someone changed the intersection so no one has to cross anyone's path.

Well thank god for that but man are eople stupid on the road. STOP ASSUMING THINGS!!!! Basic rules of road courteousy; 1. Look where you are going, there might already be someone there when you wanna change lanes. 2. Stay out of a driver's way if you are a pedestrian and the driver was moving first. If you shouldn't be there then it's your fault not the driver's fault. 3. If you see a stop/yield sign then please stop there when there is a car coming, because you can't always assume that there is a stop sign or yield sign for them too.

Ok, I've babbled enough about this. I could go on forever about this...

this makes me think of the setup of a local mall
basically its a 4 way intersection type deal
2 ways you dont have a stop sign
2 ways you do
people at the stop sighs think they can just pull out whenever they want
and there is a local FULL TIME green turn arrow right near my house
i get to sit behind morons for the longest time before they realize they can turn
argggggghhhhhhhhhh
traffic is even worse since the whole greater columbus area is nothing but construction.........everywher e!

here's the problem: most suck-a$$ drivers honestly THINK that THEY know how to drive and everyone ELSE doesn't. it's almost like they are in denial. the problem is compounded even more when these morons attempt to navigate highways - they just want to go, go, go and don't care who gets hurt in the process.

they need to admit that they suck. that's the first step, then driving conditions around the world will improve. take me, for instance: i basically suck at driving on the highway - sooooo, i stay AWAY from the highway - simple (plus it helps that work is local).

We've got the geniuses here who are in a no turning lane (the lane next to the turn lane) and decide they're going to turn. Hello? Do you want to die today?

NYC drivers are horrifying.

I could go on and on about horrible drivers but I won't because it'll get me worked up.

liltaz> I hate to tell you, but between Long Island, NYC, and NJ, NYC drivers are by far the best.
NJ drivers are just plain horrible. So bad that it would take too much to get into it just now.
LI drivers just don't drive frequently enough and are too self-absorbed when they're behind the wheel. They only take the cars out on the weekends when they have to drive further than the nearest LIRR station, and all hell breaks loose. Talk about slow drivers in the fast lane... Never worse than on LI.

This is coming from someone who grew up in Eastern Queens, commuted to Nassau Community College, commuted to Farmingville, commuted to Manhattan, and now lives in NJ. I know all about the drivers in the various areas first-hand.
Jersey is by far the worst, with LI being pretty bad. NYC drivers are no picnic, but they're definitely better than the other two.

I still want to know how many people actually took the driving test and passed it and those that bought theirs illegally. It's sad, but some people don't even know what their turning signals are for and what the rear view mirror is really used for (and it is not for putting on make-up or popping a zit). I even wonder if people really understand the meanings behind a yield sign, a stop sign, a stop light, and blinking stop lights in red and in yellow. I am not even sure some people on the road know how to read. Turning? How does one turn? And when can one turn? Puzzling, isn't it? And speaking of turning, why do some lanes have arrows on it pointing either left or right? HELLO!!!

I almost bumped into a someone stopped in the middle of my lane while it was dark out. He didn't have his hazzards on, so I didn't even realize he was stopped. When I passed him, I saw he was using his cell phone. Meanwhile there was a parking lot only about 5 feet in front of him. He could have stopped in there to use his cell phone without having to stop traffic. The way that these kind of selfish people think amuse me sometimes. I mean at least use SOME common sense. Don't stop in the middle of the road to use a cell phone, and if you have to, at least, put on your hazzards so people know you are stopped or to at least use caution when passing.

it amazes me
i consider myself one of ther better drivers of my friends
one of my friend puts it best "you are the only one of my friends that hasnt gotten into a serious accident, INCLUDING ME"
hahah

but it amazed me how many of my friends DIDNT KNOW that the rear view mirror could be TINTED for night time

ugghh

and none of my friend know howto parallel park
i remember when my sister got her drivers lisence. when making a right turn, everyone in the car would have to look on with her. she would occasianally say "can i go now?" and the answer would be "NO!!!" or "wtf, of course you can"

and upon parking, she would make me GET OUT OF THE CAR and tell her how close she was to the car/curb
ugggggggggg
