    stuff other drivers do that scares you

    the title explains the thread, the scariest thing that i see would be people who take their hands off the wheel to answer their cellphone. or people who drive aggressivly on the street, because i saw a high school girl take her hands off the wheel to answer her phone and a guy in a 5series BMW pull a U-Turn and gun the engine to chase after another car.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    People who drive in the far right lane then complain that people cut them off while merging on to the highway.

    There are a lot of things that tick me off that I see other drivers do. The thing that scares me are drunk and druged drivers, for obvious reasons. Also, 16 year old kids street racing...for obvious reasons.

    female drivers scare me coz they turn without warning & you have to brake suddenly. i once saw a lady putting on lipstick while driving.

    1. People that drive fast without proper experience. They don't asses the associated dangers and as a result don't act accordingly.
    2. People learning how to drive (that includes some people that never learn to drive). Thet are totally unpredictible.
    3. People with "my car is bigger than yours" or "my car is more expensive than yours" attitudes. We all pay taxes and have the same rights!
    4. People that aren't really paying attention to their driving (cell phone, make up, eating, drinking, etc). They are as unpredictible as No. 2. The might brake or turn without any prior notice.
    5. DUIs
    6. People without seatbelts. Front or rear.

    I want to stress the importance of that last point. Most people here (i mean where I live) use their seatbelt when riding at the front, but few do it when riding on the back. Two close friends of mine have been involved in accidents with fatal consecuences related to people riding in the back not using their seatbelts.

    people who don't understand that it is so much easier to merge when you are travelling at the same speed as the cars on the motorway - it is not a give way sign for christ's sake.

    OLD DRIVERS. i mean jesus. 80% of them are good if a little slow but then there is that clueless percentage who scrape porsches and drive off without even knowing, forcing you to run after their slowly moving car and beat on their window to make them stop.

    Thats nothing I saw a lady plucking her eyebrows while she was driving so I rolled my window down when we got to a stoplight and asked her what the hell was she thinking doing that, she just ignored me so I got off of that road as soon as I could.

    There are 10 types of people in this world. People who understand binary and people who don't.

    Not scare, more annoy...

    Elephant racing, this is when two trucks approch a hill on a dual carrigeway, the truck infront is heavy and so slows down. The one behind is empty so pulls out to overtake, both trucks reach the top of the hill at the same time and then reach the 52mph (i think) speed limiter. Does either truck slow? Hell no.

    Young drivers, including me. Our friends can't drive, so we chuck them in the back and take them places. When we happen upon an empty road we decide its time to show off our driving madskillz, calamity ensues (I haven't got to this part yet)
