Personally, I find it endlessly frustrating and even terrifying to be in the passenger seat with a driver who jumps in the car and immediately goes… Then worries about Seatbelts/Radio/AC/Mirrors/Plugging in Phone/etc etc while driving.
My father in law brakes incredibly late. Consequently, he brakes very hard. Drives me (heh) insane, and causes me to reach for the oh-shit bar and the ghost brake every time.
My ex gets distracted easily. She always hated that I would ghost brake, but I can’t help it when she’s not reacting to the stopped car in front of us
Yelling at the other cars the whole trip…
You wouldn’t want to ride with me, then.
I generally don’t secure the seatbelt until I’m moving forward. Not sure why, but I’ve always done it.I’ll mess with the rearview mirror often, as my position in the seat may shift, and I can’t stand it when the view in the mirror isn’t centered.
As for the radio… I channel surf like mad. 40 presets and I’ll scan through them all before deciding on something that I never stay on very long. My wife can, not, stand it. lol But, the radio controls are on the steering wheel, so doing so isn’t a distraction.
In the past, when I drove any of my vehicles that had a manual transmission, I had a habit of rattling the gearshift at stoplights. People who rode with me didn’t like that either.
Adderall my dude
My current car won’t start unless m wearing my seat belt.
You need to get a streaming audio service - you only need one playlist. No commercials. No blather. Just the music you requested. Surfing is no longer relevant
Tailgating, racing other drivers, quick jerk lane changes, speeding more than ten mph over the limit, last minute braking.
Convsersely, a passenger who takes off their seatbelt when I get close to their destination.
People that want to be pals on the highway. Get the fuck away from me!
When we’re first in line at a red light, and the driver starts doing shit like check their phone.
Wife does this and it drives me nuts - unless it just turned red, you fucking stare at that light so you can GTFO the second it turns green.
…then she gets annoyed when I say “light’s green” when it turns while she’s distracted. -_-
Theres plenty of people who complain about drivers who get ticketed for using a mobile while at lights or stopped in traffic (think of the comments on a particular uk cycle cammer who films drivers using their mobiles then reports them) but it plays heavily with situational awareness & drivers ability to “check back in” to the activity of driving.
I’m all pro not touching a phone while driving, hell, I won’t even plug my phone to charge if driving.
There’s no excuse.
My husband got a ticket/points on his license doing that and that stopped him.
- Not looking at the road.
- Speeding, even more egregious during bad weather
- Eating something that isn’t hand food or is messy. Also drinking from bottles that require a twist off. Straw is fine.
- Doing anything on the phone. I don’t care if it’s just to skip a song. Tell me and I’ll do it. I’ll even read texts to you. Just keep your eyes on the road.
- Agreesive drivers. Like, people who wanna try and race others, etc.
- No insurance of any kind
Tailgating is frightening, especially when it’s very clear that if something suddenly happened ahead the driver could not react without superpowers they don’t have.
Looking at me when they’re talking. I don’t care for the politeness of it, just watch the road!
Sitting at 60 in the middle lane, and then getting angry because people are tailgating and both over and under taking. Have some fucking lane disaplin.
Where I live 60 is faster than the right lane and slower than the overtaking lane.
My friend won’t wear his fucking seatbelt so the car fucking dings the whole time
I would not be in that car
Yea I try to avoid letting him drive for that reason
If there’s a collision and someone in the car isn’t wearing a seatbelt, that’s a danger to everyone inside the car. The person without the seatbelt becomes a projectile.
Trust me I’m very aware, thank you for your concern 🤣
My ex would try to maintain an exact speed by slightly ecxelerating then let off the gas over and over, just tap tap tap on the gas. 100 miles of tiny lurches.
This right here. I’ve known two drivers with this exact habit. Spectacularly infuriating.
Just let me out right here. I’ll walk.
I used to have a friend who did this and wasn’t very good at it, so she would constantly accelerate and brake, so much it made me queasy.
This is how to get your passengers to vomit all over the inside of your car
When they try to get into the back of the car in front of us.
Drivers seem to forget that they always must maintain minimum emergency breaking distance from the car in front, which changes with weather conditions, speed limit, and the reaction times of the driver themselves.
From experience I can tell you that I really hate it when the driver is doing ten over the limit then announces unprompted that he’s not afraid of dying in a car accident because he knows he’s going to be with Jesus.
Jesus is gonna laugh at them when they’re down below. Dance with the devil and you get burnt – not a ticket to heaven, lol
Maybe he needs to watch this: https://youtu.be/sSIiqn2v7wE
