A Poll: Non-scientific and Non-basketball related.

[Norm Peterson]

Sorry, no other place I know of to get this info.  I'm just curious.  Is there any kind of driver that consistently bugs you?  When someone ahead of you commits one of your driving pet peeves -- such as NOT turning right on red after stopping when there's no traffic from the left -- is there any tendency for that person to fall into any sort of identifiable group?  Or is it totally random and there doesn't appear to be any consistent type of offender?

I swear to goodness that the other day I saw a woman with a cigerette in one hand and a coke in her other while she had a cell phone on her shoulder with her head tilted...yet she was turned half-around yelling at her child who was not seat-belted in the backseat...I wanted to honk at her, but I feared for her life and anyone within a block of her.

That there's what you call a "multiple offender."

My thing is SUV guy who thinks that he's invincible in inclement weather, when it's more of a matter of just not knowing how to drive in snow/ice/whatever...when here I am in my little compact car getting along just fine.

 

Yeah...SUV's...worthless for pretty much every idiot out there...

The inability of people to properly use turn signals knows no stereotype.

[Bugeaters1]

I took the no one in particular. I work on the roads and it is most anyone that is a bad driver. So next time you come into a lane closure please slow down and obey the traffic signs

[Norm Peterson]

True.  True, Jadler.   But who is going to drive below the speed limit ahead of you and cause you to miss a light because they seem to be oblivious to the fact that there's other traffic around them?

[49r]

Also, it seems like there is noone left in the world that knows what is supposed to happen at a 4-way stop sign.  I can't begin to tell you how many times I've had people try to wave me through when they actually had the right of way.

 

Idiots.

[Jadler]

Ahhh, I see what you're getting at. I'm still going to stick with no one in particular. I've extended the finger to all of these on multiple occasions. One of the joys of being from Chadron is I get to enjoy the amazing diversity of handi-tarded people on I-80 or Hwy 20.

That's the nice thing about Hwy 2, Jadler.  Not only is it scenic, but it is mostly devoid of idiot drivers.

[Crush78]

I was once nearly killed by a girl who had her arms hooked through the steering wheel so she could text with both hands

[bobcat402]

being from Omaha, where there are numerous idiot drivers and people with rush schedules, than going to a small college, and living in the town with only 400 people and a much slower since of traffic, and in general a more polite sense of roadway tact. than moving back to Omaha and dealing with idiots....I nominate city drivers

HWY 2 is flipping AMAZING if you are driving late night/early morning. Any other time still induces the obvious reaction...

[KZRider]

A rule that I've adopted as a bike rider is to always assume I'm invisible and that other drivers don't see me. That rule has saved me on more than one occasion but it is nearly always a female on a cell phone when it occurs.

[PAhusker]

cant forget about the high school/college kids shoved into a jetta yelling at people outside and throwing stuff out the windows. maybe thats just an east coast thing tho..

When I was working as a gate guard in grad school, one "shack" I worked in got hit twice in the same month with me in it. Twas at a country club here  in Denver. Both miscreants had nothing in common, except for the most evil device known to person: the cell phone.

 

I truly hate that device with a burning passion.

[cipsucks]

I logged right at 80,000 miles this past year.  Whenever I see someone driving goofy (going slow in the passing lane, driving 90 mph, etc.) it's usually someone with out of state plates.  For whatever reason, my experience has Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois drivers as the worst offenders.  Oh yeah, and the Obama bumper stickers irritate me too, but that's probably a topic for a different forum....

[Red Rum]

I went the easy way out and selected the not one particular type option. They all bug me.

49r, you're killing me!  Granted, some SUV guys don't understand STOPPING in those things is just as difficult on snow and ice as for any other vehicle.   But properly used--like hauling my kids, big dog, fishing and hunting gear--off road in Cherry County--the SUV is a wonderful  thing....
