not only in my trucks, but especially when riding my motorcycle...
ive taken thousands of dollars worth of rider training, so i can avoid these idiots, and that training has also made me super attentive of their rediculous behavior.
cell phones and txting are #1 on my list too. in Md, DC, and Va, it is full-on illegal to use them in the car w/o being fully hands free, yet i have had to alert patrol officers on a few occasions to a driver just a car away who is in full on conversation while in traffic. Not to mention almost being hit TWICE by a guy who was so loud on his phone, with the window down, i could hear him talking into it. I had to yell at him at the top of my lungs on the 2nd attempt to kill me "PUT THE FUGGING PHONE DOWN SO YOU DONT HIT ME DUMBAZZ!!!" to get his attention. Why cant people understand, its a 3000lb machine, would you use a bandsaw while talking on the phone or texting, then why do you think you can use THIS machine and do it?!?!?! And i cant tell you how many times ive been behind someone driving too slow, reacting to traffic on a delayed count. Only to get up next to them and they are deeeeep in conversation, as if Oprah was interviewing them for her next show. Get off the fugging phone and drive your fugging car!
Others...
Mr or Ms aggressive. these people who are in such a hurry that they have to weave and dodge in and out of traffic, only to be stopped at each light with the rest of us. a foot here or there, and they are an accident waiting to happen. when im in the new T4R, i cringe, but when im in my old Ford F150, i hope that they hit me, i could use a new pick up.
tailgaters when i am on my bike. when im in one of my trucks, hey, ill move over, no problem. but on my bike, i am usually doing 70-85 mph just to cruise, and they still want to come up on my rear as if i was the latest swim suit model. usually i just grab a handful of throttle and peal away...they thought 80 was fast...well, cya.
as was said before, people who want to just poke into traffic. Hey genius, didnt you see the line, didnt you see the rest of us waiting too?! well, once they come up to me, in the F150, i just dont let them in. sure, cmon over, hit me, your insurance will love me. and your brand new whatever will bend and quiver at my old school iron wagon.
people who poke the nose of their car out into traffic when pulling out of a driveway or parking lot...as if THAT is going to make someone sympothetic and let them in...but when someone saws off the front of your car, who do you think is at fault.
ive seen people eating while driving (fork and plate), ive looked drivers square in the face when on my bike, then watch them never look or signal and come right over into my lane, then get indignant when i honk at them as if I was in the wrong..sorry, ive been in this lane for a mile dummy. Anyone driving under a suspended license yet thinks they should be given a break when they break the law. And of course, anyone who is trying to kill me that day by just being a bad driver.
