    Years ago this guy used to give me a ride to work....one day we see an older, well dressed lady in the lane beside us, with her finger probably 3/4's of the way up her nose...

    so I ask my bud to drive beside her...I was chewing green gum and pretended to pull it out my nose as a looooong strand while she was looking at us..


    my buddy nearly piled up the car he was laughing so loud

    My personal favorite: We have a Yield sign at the end of my off ramp to get home and every idiot treats it like a stop sign, even though the lane you are turning into is only available to the people exiting the freeway, the oncoming traffic has to make a lane change to get into it after they pass the light. I typically lay on my horn until they move their dumb asses

    similar for me....exit ramp off one major road onto another...the other road has two lanes....the off ramp merges onto the right lane (of course) and in that lane there's no where to exit right for about 3 miles...yet every day I'm merging into the lane and guys in the left lane come over right when I'm merging into the right

    there's no reason for you to move from left to right...at that particular point in time you fckn mooks

    1- never seen it happen, but over here, people drive with their rear fog lights on all the fucking time

    2- fuck off, I do this because a) if needs be, I can pull out from behind the car b) I have room to pull over if emergency services need to get by and the idiot in front is completely oblivious to the blues and twos and c) if someone smashes into the back of me, I then don't go flying into the person in front of me and having them make a claim on my insurance. You stuck behind me? Boo fucking hoo

    3-6 yeah, that grips my shit

    7- annoying as fuck, but a traffic cop mate informed me of a very effective way of dealing with this, pull over as far to the right of the lane as you can (or to the left for our american cousins) and about 15-20 car lengths behind stick your main beams on it works 9/10 times

    8) cocks

    9) if you don't do this, you're a retard

    10) cunts

    These people just stop and watch the traffic drive by when the oncoming traffic has no way of entering the yield lane, its an open lane. You cant just dart across all 3 lanes, but the right lane is for you buddy.

    all cities have their shit stories but I can't imagine driving in yours....we got a million people, smaller footprint but we enjoy the rep of some of the worst drivers in the country

    my pet peeve is 'the wave'...some mook does the 3 lane dart over thing at the last minute, causing other drivers to double foot their brakes...and then they give this pacifying weak wave like it makes everything ok

    ffs I have no patience for people who do a lane change 10 meters before their exit and cut off 30 other people...you know damn well you have to turn there, it's not a surprise

    we have a lane reversal which cuts off a lane, complete with 3 yellow crossing bars (think border crossing gate) that block the lane, complete with lights for a kilometer before that saying BIG RED X, LANE CLOSED, and signs... and this occurs about 500 meters after an intersection.

    yet every day....guys race up to the crossing bars and try to cut in...one day I watched a guy pile into and take out the first crossing bar because no one let him in

    As a corollary, if it looks like you're going to miss your turn, just go around the block and try again. Do not slam on your brakes, cross 3 lanes of traffic, and then block another lane when you can't immediately get into the turn lane. You are inconveniencing everyone else because you don't want to drive another block
    Oh yes...saw this yesterday on my way to North Vancouver. Idiot goes off on the wrong offramp so she stops, does a hard left onto the shoulder, so her car is nearly perpendicular to the traffic between the offramp and the freeway (which of course is going at full tilt) and just slooowly edges her way into the slow lane. After I stand on the brakes as safely as I can without getting rear ended (threshold braking they called it in driving school when Anti-lock wasn't a thing, or much of a thing), she comes in front of me. I hang back a bit more than normal...she's shown her awful driving skills and there's no chance for me to get into the fast lane.

    Next exit she indicates she's going of, so off she goes, but no. Much flailing of arms from her passenger ensues (co-driver apparently - at least the brains of the operation anyway.) and thankfully because I see this, I hesitate, because next she hauls it back into the slow lane in front of me, then decides that no, this IS the exit, and hauls her way into the offramp traffic. She was serenaded by mine, and a few other horns from people in the slow lane.

    We're all going so slow now we in the slow and exiting lane have time to make eye contact and shake our heads.

    It's not magic, ever notice that once everyone is single file in the construction zone traffic moves along smoothly at around the posted speed? Only thing that's changed is there are no longer idiots cutting people off trying to merge forcing all the traffic behind to slow to a crawl.

    How about singing at the top of your lungs in the car alone, does that make you look stupid?
