People with the inability to use the turn signal.

Obviously you can tell from my thoughts on the subject that I don't think very highly of other drivers, including myself. I personally would go my entire life without ever entering the DMV if this weren't a society and town where you practically have to own a car and have and drivers livense.

Now in drivers ED, you learn of what Turn Signals do. They tell everyone behind you that you want to turn either into their lane or off the road. This way they won't get cut off or suddenly have to slam on the brakes to keep from causing an accident.

Obviously the simple concept of moving it with your finger is a little too complex to some people. Even if you're driving a stick **** and have to think about moving that lever on top of driving, it's not that hard.

Yep. I think using my signal (in addition to being polite) got me out of a ticket today.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I also hate when people cannot merge into a lane correctly.

Learning to drive won't kill you, but NOT learning to drive could kill ME.

I love using my turn signal if only because I love the satisfying click sound it makes when I first turn it.

You have to think about doing that? I mean, the more people think about shifting manual, the more they're going to screw it up.

I think people are incable of comprehending the greater picture, and most drivers should never have been given a license in the first place. I see people doing something illegal and/or dangerous on the road every time I drive. More than that, I see them making poor decisions and simply not paying attention to their own driving habits. They'll be quick to curse every other jerk out there for being so selfish as to actually DRIVE IN FRONT OF THEM, though.

I mean, driving anywhere is actually a race. You have to be first to the red light, because that means you WON.

I also hate people who feel that it's necessary to be going fast at all times. Meaning that if there's a red light, it's time to slow down adn eventually stop at that light. I begin slowing down and I can guarantee once a trip that the guy behind me will be like FUUUUUUUU cause I'm not hauling ass until the last possible second. Usually they'll go around me.....just to stop.

That said, I also hate when people do WAY below the speed limit in the fast lane. If it's a 45, please do 45 or more in the left, not 25.

Ummm... I live in Texas where the drivers are scary monsters. I almost don't want to learn how to drive this year. Scary people at the DMV are going to suck out my soul with the drivers license picture.

Robotazy · 07-06-2009, 01:37 PM

I live in Louisiana where no one learned to drive.

Also, I hate the DMV. Not gonna explain why.
