Vent Here, Not on the Road!
The driver that leaves their turn signal on for miles? People who just can’t figure out who has the right-of-way at a 4 way stop? Maybe a person that doesn’t care who has the right-a-way at a four way stop and goes when it is not their turn. Does the most expensive car automatically have the right-a-way?
One of my pet peeves is people that do not yield to cars exiting the freeway. All lanes (no matter how many) on the service road are required to yield to the cars exiting the freeway but you’re lucky if you can get just one lane to yield, let alone two or three lanes.
Have you ever been caught in the move that I call “pass the jerk sign”? You pull up to a light with a bunch of cars already stopped at it so you think it is safe to be in the right lane because only one of the stopped cars ahead of you has a turn signal on so you are safe and not going to be the “jerk” that blocks everyone else from making a right on red. Then the first car makes a right on red-that’s okay four more cars before you and not all of them could be making a right. Only the third one has their turn signal on, so that makes the next car at the light the “jerk” because he is blocking the right turn on red drivers. Then that guys turns! The next person turns! Then the guy with his signal on turns and before you know it, you have been passed the “jerk” sign because now you ARE the guy blocking three cars behind you with their signals on. They only signal when you want to go straight. I hate it when that happens.
