In SC they don't have helmet laws, either...they are sticklers for wearing your seatbelts, but no laws for motorcyclists! It's crazy! It's even crazier that the motorcyclists choose not to wear them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/road-rage#post-1003120 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 07:25:24 +0000 Dandelion 1003120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is people who get all up on my back bumper in a residential area. I don't speed on purpose in those areas. Especially in our area, cause there's always a cop nearby to pull someone over.</p> <p>Also, I hate it when people don't use turn signals.</p> <p>DH hates it when people sit out on the left lane of the highway and aren't passing people on the right. It's not a cruising lane, it's a passing lane and he gets all up in arms about it. It bugs me, too, but it's his trigger.</p> <p>I also hate cutters in merges. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/road-rage#post-1003022 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 06:50:48 +0000 lomom 1003022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@evansjamie: ugh. My road rage has quadrupled since this whole project started.</p> <p>I rage at the speeding up and cutting in for an exit that's backed up/lane ends ahead scenario. I gas it and slam on my brakes to make sure I'm always on the bumper of the car in front of me so no selfish *%#^$@%# can shove in in front of me. Ugh I hate that SO much. I swear that's why it gets so backed up anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/road-rage#post-1000874 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 16:28:01 +0000 Meridian 1000874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People who don't give you a wave when you let them cut in. Actually, I've noticed that people don't do the wave anymore!! I always wave when someone lets me in... grrr. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/road-rage#post-1000667 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 15:44:31 +0000 Bao 1000667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Slow drivers. Not using your blinker, seriously use your blinker it's not hard!! Overall idiots who shouldn't be driving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/road-rage#post-1000640 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 15:37:17 +0000 mrskc 1000640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: I'm not sure if it's a law but I remember learning about this in drivers ed. And no one ever pulls over! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/road-rage#post-1000612 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 15:30:43 +0000 NeekieRose 1000612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Slow drivers. HATE slow drivers. The amount of times I yell "JUST DRIVE!" is absurd. Of course I think anyone not driving 5 mph over the speed limit are going too slow.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/road-rage#post-1000605 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 15:29:40 +0000 swurlygurl 1000605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: Isn't it a law that if 3 or 4 cars pile up behind you, you have to pull over to let them pass? I might be imagining that</p> <p>@Mrsbells: I need to work on that sooo much. Luckily, I'm generally only driving DD to and from daycare, which is like 2 minutes from home (DH drives otherwise and he's much calmer than I am)</p> <p>@2PeasinaPod: Oh man, if someone flips me off I just boil</p> <p>@LuLu Mom: #1 is along the lines of my most hated one - I hate when people don't play by the rules!</p> <p>@Corduroy: Haha - I have been guilty of this before. ONLY because when I re-enter onto the freeway I'm getting in a lane that exits-only to the exit I want. Otherwise I have to wait like 10 minutes to get up to that one exit. I don't think I'm upsetting the merge flow, so I feel justified... haha</p> <p>@Cherrybee: When I lived in a busy city I used to be so much better. Now that I'm in a calmer town, I get so mad when people aren't polite like they should be </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/road-rage#post-1000570 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 15:24:10 +0000 mrskc 1000570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've simmered down a lot on my road rage. It's a work in progress. @BabyBoecksMom: yes! I hate this so much! </p> <p>I drive a lot of two lane roads to get to and from work (meaning just one lane in each direction) and the people driving under the speed limit drive me bonkers. What's even more annoying is I have to wait for traffic to clear in the opposite direction to pass them. And then I get even more upset when there is NEVER an opening to pass and I'm stuck behind this one slow car &amp; there ends up being a HUGE line of cars behind this person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/road-rage#post-1000486 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 15:09:48 +0000 Mrsbells 1000486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just dont like bad drivers. I dont like seeing people texting, talking on the phone, drving recklessly. But I dont get angry though, since becoming a mom thats one of the things I work on, staying calm and focused while driving and not letting some loser make me angry </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/road-rage#post-1000460 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 15:04:59 +0000 StbHisMrs 1000460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: This is probably my single most rage ensuing issue, hate it. What makes it worse is when they race up to cut you off and then go under speed limit! I love when the cars behind me play well ;)</p> <p>@LuLu Mom: Oh yeah, slow turning vehicles, or the ones that have to swing way way out like they're pulling a trailer! I laugh, but it aggravates me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/road-rage#post-1000419 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 14:57:00 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1000419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had really bad road rage the other day...someone almost hit me b/c she wasn't looking when switching lanes when I had LO in the car with me. I beeped my horn and she gave me the finger. Made me so angry. </p> <p>I also hate when motorcyclists think that b/c they're smaller, they can weave through stopped dead traffic. It makes me even more angry when the don't have a helmet on (most idiotic law in PA). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/road-rage#post-1000364 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 14:49:27 +0000 Corduroy 1000364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate when there is heavy traffic and people get off and on the freeway at the same exit just to bypass a few cars. All that extra merging is a big part of why there's traffic. Just stay on the freeway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/road-rage#post-1000333 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 14:45:51 +0000 LuLu Mom 1000333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I have a serious case of road rage...so bad. </p> <p>1. People who know a lane is closing but try to sneak in when everyone else has merged. </p> <p>2. Slower corner turners...seriously just turn it's fine! </p> <p>3. Those who wait to turn and then finally decide to go right as the light is turning, if it's clear turn don't be scared! </p> <p>4. Those who don't turn right on red when it's legal! </p> <p>Alright I guess I have issues with people turning...haha :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/road-rage#post-1000332 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 14:45:47 +0000 Sammyfab 1000332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: yes!!! This!!!!! I hate hate hate it when people are cruising in the left lane and driving right alongside the car in the lane next to them. Ugh...MOVE over!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/road-rage#post-1000321 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 14:43:40 +0000 avivoca 1000321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: I used to be pretty chill, but then I was rear-ended last year by a semi. Now I'm extremely nervous, especially when it's raining or there is road work. Unfortunately, we'll be dealing with this road work for three more years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/road-rage#post-1000314 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 14:42:22 +0000 swurlygurl 1000314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: @evansjamie: Ugh, yes to both of those! Maybe this post was a bad idea because it's making me tense... haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/road-rage#post-1000312 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 14:41:51 +0000 Cherrybee 1000312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband gets road ragey about everything! People in the wrong lane, people cutting him up, middle lane hogging on the motorway and people going below the speed limit are his big triggers. He also hates it when someone parks over two spaces in the car park. I'm pretty chill on the road, not much phases me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/road-rage#post-1000303 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 14:41:04 +0000 avivoca 1000303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate it when people zoom up in a merge lane to try and go around me or when they are weaving in and out of traffic. We have some major road construction going on and the max speed is 40 MPH. I get so angry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/road-rage#post-1000294 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 14:39:40 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1000294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cars driving the same speed (UNDER the speed limit) in both lines. Drives me nuts!! I always tell them that if they just move over and let me pass them, then I would get off their butt and it would make both of us very happy. They apparently can't read lips... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/road-rage#post-1000261 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 14:34:30 +0000 swurlygurl 1000261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What makes you road rage-y?</p> <p>The WORST - I hate it when everyone is being civilized in rush hour traffic and waiting patiently in a long line for a specific exit, and then some jackhole zooms up and cuts in the front of the line. I have actually cut the skin open on my palm from clinching my fists so tightly.</p> <p>I have to deal with this every morning, and try really hard to play offense so no one can cut in front of me. Such gratitude when I can keep someone out and the cars behind won't let them in either. TEAMWORK!</p> <p>Anyone else?? </p>
