Ticked off tuesday The rules you can agree with the complainer you can complain your self you can not dis the complainers. this is a place to vent. topic People who do not know where they are going when they are driving. The people the cut across three lanes at the last minute... the ones that hit the brakes at all intersections and streets think this might be it. the ones the swerve between lanes. I wnat to be in this one no this one no this one. the ones that flip a U turn in the middle of traffic or travel down the wrong side of the street cause they need to make that biggggg turn into thier drive way and still have to back up to get into it. How about the ones that make a complete stop to turn onto a street instead of being a fluid movment. or or or the ones that honk at you cause you are using the merge lane and they dont know how to. or the ones that honk at you cause you have turned on your reverse lights but are not moving. Or the ones that are to busy picking thier face to see that the light has turned green...... I feel better now your turn The more you disaprove, the more fun I am having!

Yes, Aimee, I can relate! I've been in the car driving my kids around for three weeks, and I have no idea how delivery/taxi drivers stand it. My pet peeve is when the light turns red and four more cars go through!!  My son says there should be an "orange" light. When it turns orange, that means it really, really is going to be red next.

We do the orange light thing in England. Green means "Go-only if it is safe", Amber means "stop if it is safe to do so", then red is 'stop'. To go the other way - red and orange mean "prepare to go" and green then means 'Go if it is safe". My driving instructor told me that all the lights mean Stop, even green, if it is not safe to go! We still get people who think Green means 'speed through", Amber is "speed up the lights might change' and Red is "Nobody's in my way I can go" Red and Amber is naturally "Get your foot on that pedal and be first away" We get very confused on the continent because we are used to a more gentle transition from STOP! to GO! -we are just not quick enough of f the mark for the french who honk. Don't you just hate people who honk outside your bedroom window because they are too lazy to knock on a door? You are not supposed to honk your horn here after 11:00pm - Hah! Playing loud music doesnn't count. love and kisses, Jan

when my husband goes thru a yellow light that has just turned red, I'll say to him that light was a little pink don't you think. now the whole family says it to anyone and i mean everyone who is driving, who goes thru a yellow. I say pink should be legal...

I don't know about where you girls live but where I live slamming on your breaks for a change in lights can cause a 20 car rear end pile up that could more than likely result in the person who slammed on their brakes to stop for a light being shoved out into the intersection and struck by traffic coming across the intersection. I have, however, developed the habit at stop lights of waiting for just a second or two before I take off on a green light to be sure no one is running a red light. I have come very, very close to getting smacked in the side or having the nose of my car taken off by people blowing through red lights here in Oklahoma City. Of course, everyone here drives 70 or 80 miles an hour whether it's on city streets or expressways. Patsy Patsy

Arggg my hubby puts his foot down on the brake, when he comes to a light,I feel like i get whip lash every time lol.Can't be good for my neck eh ?sudden jerks like that . How about when you get behind a pensioner driving along, like he or she has the road to themselves,sauntering along so slow lol.Some drivers put on a left turn signal, then decide to turn right! love them sort lmao. If at first you don't suceed, try-try again!

My daughter learned this in a safety class in Kindergarten: Green means Go. Red means Wait. Yellow means stop, even if you're late. Here, red means traffic ticket if you pass through. And when your insurance company gets the update, it means higher rates! |
