What bugs you about other DRIVERS?
I was inspired by another thread to ask this question, one I've been thinking about for a while. Not talking four wheelers, but what pet peeves do you have with other truck drivers as far as driving habits? Strictly talking driving here, not truck stop etiquette, CB behavior, hygeine etc. My top three:
1. Not using turn signals. One of the most basic elements of driving, it's not that difficult. 2. I'm in the climbing lane and they ride up alongside as it's ending, forcing me to back way off to tuck in behind them. 3. If their lane is ending, they don't signal and move to the left, instead just follow that lane to the bitter end and drift over (without a signal) following the fog line. This one usually doesn't affect much of anything, it's just annoying to me. |
Flashing bright lights when clear after passing at night,if your lights don't turn off(daylite running lights)don't worry I know when I'm past.

Using fog lights on a clear night
No turn signals Failing to turn off the high beams when they are coming at you Running into my lane and almost pushing me into a wall Drivers who don't shower Peeing on the fuel island Parking in the fuel island and not fueling And the list goes on........... |
I'll make a simple post:
I hate STUPIDITY!!! That can be in the form of: a) from the CB, "I'm not wearing any panties", deciding to be a DJ and playing your favorite music (which usually sucks), making stupid noises, or just getting on and arguing for no reason b) From the OP, turn signals - biggie for me c) creating your own parking spaces which ends up blocking others from being able to even get in/out of a truckstop d) etc etc etc |

Being governed at 64mph,...being passed by a guy governed at 64.5mph , happened at Stevens often.
Why not just let off a bit and stay in the lane,.......... :wink: |
Some good ones listed so far. Here's a few more.
1. Moving in the left lane to let a truck merge onto the freeway, only for him to speed up and move pass me in the right lane instead of letting me get back over. So rude!! 2. There are 2 spots left in the rest area and some guy parked and took up 2 spaces and I can't park. 3. Tailgating!! It's so dangerous, pisses me off everytime. |
Yep the tailgating thing gets to me.
Also these dorks who have spent wads of money on a CB radio , yet still cant formulate a thought without using the term "faggot" or "nigger" The list goes on, but truck drivers are generally pigs. |
The tailgaters are usually the speeders and the ones that will cut you off short about the time traffic is slowing...they have to be in your spot. The trouble is you can't trust thier judgement enough to relax behind them.

Looking into another cab's dish and seeing trash and what not all over the dashboard. Just looks really trashy, pardon the pun, and unprofessional.
