Bad drivers (motorcycle, brakes, lane, right turn)

[pirate girl]

Drawing on the pet peeves thread...............

Some examples of bad drivers in your area???

I love the people that pull out in front of me like a bat out of hell and make me slam on my brakes, then fail to accelerate above 30 MPH.

And the people who have to come to a complete stop to make a right turn.

when there is a long line of slow moving traffic--as there often is around here--and a car cuts out of line to go ? Where?--and then has to work its way back into the same line.

That is relatively minor--most drivers seem to believe they 'Own the Road'.

It would be a 'Great Day' for me if such drivers were apprehended and forced to simply 'Wait' and Be Courteous. My fantasy. I think many would absolutely self-destruct. Which would not be a bad thing...

Of course there's always construction going on in Central FL, if not houses, then more roads. SR 50 goes E-W across the state and in my general area it's a 4 lane highway. So what do all these dump trucks and huge sand hauling trucks do? Tie up both lanes, driving side by side, and there are a multitude of traffic lights, so nobody can move for miles. Oh, after a while they get going, then take the entrance ramp to the turnpike too fast and many of them turn over every year. That of course ties up traffic even moreso with a truckload of sand everywhere!

LOL that just happened in Orlando yesterday- I heard it on the Mix 105 traffic report.......they were referring to it as the sandbox!

I agree that construction traffic is a hazard-

I love the people that get right up on your bumper and act totally disgusted with you when you are in a line of traffic and can't go any faster than you are already going.

LOL..yeah, but only when there are people in front of me that prevent me from gong fast...plus, I would never pull out in front of you and go slow

I'm sitting here laughing with tears in my eyes!!! Better stay out of Granny's way...or get something bigger than a bike!

I'm with Brian on this one......my hubby and I ride our huge motorcycle but no one seems to be able to see us coming, even with headlights on......they just pull right out in front of us.....and when they pass us....they cut right in front of us and almost force us off the road. #@&^%* dangnabit!
