Survey Says Iowa Drivers Are Some of the Rudest in the U.S.

Here is an interesting article I read that is relevant to this discussion.

 

Driving would be awesome — if it weren't for all the other drivers, am I right?

For example: Traffic on a major thoroughfare is heavy and moving slowly; only a handful of cars creep through the intersection during each light cycle. Impatience grows and more and more motorists try to sneak through on yellow. Eventually, they get so desperate they start stacking up mid-intersection and remain there after the light turns red.

Does the Zipper Merge Fly With You? (Poll)

Now the cars trying to turn left into that lane can't, and they start stacking up, blocking traffic in the other direction, too. Pedestrians can't cross in the crosswalk. Order breaks down. And I become Bill Bixby, angered beyond control (despite my polite admonition that you wouldn't like me if this happened), complete with tortured expression and preternaturally enraged eyes. Now something else is turning green — and it ain't the traffic signal. These degenerates, these sociopaths, these ... these ... fellow passengers to the grave, as Dickens put it, have committed one of the driving don'ts that torques me off the most. DON'T BLOCK THE $*%&@ INTERSECTION!

What say we vent together? Let's just get it all out there on the table for some therapeutic car-related catharsis (car-tharsis?). The following is a list of annoying driving behaviors that get the Cars.com editorial department revved into the red (and by all means, let your own frustrations fly in the comments section below):

 

Mike Hanley, Research editor: Territorial drivers. You know the ones; they don't let you merge even when there's nowhere else for you to go. Like it's really going to matter if you're in front or back of me while we're stuck in the middle of this traffic jam? Intersection blockers. Also, tailgaters. This is annoying in general (and also unsafe), but it's especially aggravating if you're going the speed limit or higher. Just chill.

I remember talking about this in another thread. The tailgating thing is usually unwarranted unless somebody is being a moron in the left lane and needs to take a hint. I don't like intersection blockers although at times it's unavoidable if you can't completely see all the traffic infront of you and people have a tendency to stop suddenly and for no reason. Also in VT everybody is so slow that often even a light of 20 seconds you get maybe 5 cars through so you bet I'm going to go in on yellow! It's not my fault the idiots waited 10 seconds after the light changed to green to even start going!  I do hate territorial drivers.

• Jennifer Newman, assistant managing editor: Drivers speeding up when you're passing them on the highway. Usually, I'm midway through passing the slower car when its driver suddenly decides to speed up.
• Completely agree!
• Matt Schmitz, news editor: Drivers who can't seem to maintain a consistent speed on interstates. Man, you and I have leapfrogged 10 times over the past 50 miles, and I know it's not me because my cruise control has been set to the same speed the whole time. I assure you, dude, if I arrive before you at the far-flung destination to which we're evidently both headed, I won't consider it some personal victory.
• Ahhh yes...I love it when they ruin my cruise control. Doesn't even have to be the interstate. If the limit is 50 then go 50-55, don't go between 30 and 45.
• Joe Wiesenfelder, executive editor: People who pull into the rightmost lane at a stoplight so they can get ahead of the other cars when the light turns green. This guy's already a jerk for his intentions, but the real problem is he prevents cars behind him from turning right on red. If he were to stay out of that lane, countless right-turn intenders wouldn't have to wait through the whole light cycle.
• This doesn't really happen here, but it sounds like it would be quite annoying.
• Ali Oswald, editorial intern: Not pulling over for an emergency vehicle. What in your life is so important that you can't take three seconds to pull over to help save another person's life? Also, pulling to the side of the road and not putting on your hazards. Pulling over is OK, but let me know you don’t plan on moving so that I can proceed around you.
• Again, this doesn't happen here. But what does happen is even though you're supposed to move over OR slow down for emergency vehicles that are on the shoulders, usually 90% of the cars on the freeway will move from the right lane to the left lane if there is ANY car in the right shoulder, which backs up traffic. Stop being afraid of your shadow, it's OK to drive, albeit a bit slower, 10 feet away from a car that's on the shoulder!
• Jen Burklow, copy editor: Drivers who turn left from the right lane and right from the left lane on a four-lane road, careening across several lanes of traffic. OK, so you came upon your next turn and realized it at the last minute. Big deal. Go around the block, or to the next exit, and try it again rather than endangering everyone else around you.
• I completely agree. Another pet peeve of mine is people that don't end up in their own lane after a turn. If you turn left from the left lane you're supposed to stay in the left lane, then signal and move to the right. You don't make a turn straight into the right lane. I see even cops doing this and it is NOT how I was taught by a pro.
• Kelsey Mays, consumer affairs editor: People who drive 5-10 mph under the speed limit, looking aimlessly for something while slowing all traffic behind. Bonus points for signaling a couple times when they think they found it. This idiot has decided to take a Sunday drive during a Tuesday rush hour. Which makes sense, because no one who dallies this much could possibly have a job. I hope he gets a ticket.
• Agree for the most part but sometimes we all need to look for something, although some are way too erratic about it.
• Bill Jackson, assistant managing editor: Those who pass on the right. Before everybody says I drive too slowly: I'll be in the right lane of a three-lane highway and see someone several hundred yards ahead in the center lane. In Illinois (Cars.com is based in Chicago) the car coming to pass, no matter if the entire highway is clear from here to Green Bay, will always pass on the right. Also: Car drivers who blow through stop signs and yell at bikes because "you all blow through stop signs." No we don't. (In fairness, my other pet peeve is bike riders riding the wrong way on one-way streets.) Also(!): People who pull up to a toll booth and ask for directions.
• Agree with everything except for when your only option is to pass someone on the right because they are driving slow in the left lane and won't move over even after a minute of tailgating. And I will avoid a complete stop at a stop sign if it's in a small area with no cars anywhere near me(and no cops) and I deem the sign to be absolutely unnecessary wear and tear on my car. I hate stop signs to start with as I'm used to driving with mostly roundabouts and yield signs, so many times all it takes is a yield sign and not a stop sign yet here they like to have stop signs everywhere and I happen to care about my car so I'll yield, but that's it. There are however situations where bikes blow through it when they definitely shouldn't.
• Paul Dolan, visual designer: When you are trying to pull out of a parallel parking space or pulling out of a gas station, you have the nose of the car out, you have the blinker on, you are clearly waiting to pull into traffic and instead of leaving a little room for you to pull in, another driver fills that space between cars as though you are completely invisible. Also: When there are two lanes, but the right lane is a right-turn lane and someone uses that lane to pass a long line of cars only to pull into the left lane in front of everyone.
• Agreed.
• Lindsay Frommer, multimedia intern: It bothers me when people have the option and open opportunity to make a right on red and they don't.
• Completely agree.

lol I agree with almost all of their points. My comment in the quote. And I also hate drivers who lack depth perception and think there isn't even room for 2 cars when I can pretty much guarantee them there's room for 3!

• In my fire department days this was always a peeve of mine.  Technically, it is against the law to not yield to an emergency vehicle, but I have never heard of anyone being given a ticket for it.  As a driver of an emergency vehicle we were always taught to go left even into oncoming traffic (if it is clear) and never ever pass a stopped car on the right.  The freeway is another deal altogether, fire trucks are generally limited to about 68 mph, so many people do not pull over for them.

Regarding passing on the right, I believe it goes state by state. I know in Israel it was illegal but I don't believe it is here, nor in Wi. The lane thing what I meant was: You have one lane that turns left and you are in it. So far you're good. Then you turn into a 2 lane st, and automatically take the right lane. You don't do that. You're supposed to follow the lane you're in, into the left lane, then move to the right lane. Unfortunately I find that over 50% of drivers seem unaware of that.And again with emergency vehicles here honestly people are pretty good about pulling over for them(actually at times too good as they'll pull over when the vehicle is still behind 50 other vehicles and just sit there for 2 minutes), but they emergency vehicles also don't seem shy about passing on the right. But like I said what I really hate is when literally EVERYONE, including the slow pokes will move to the left lane when there's a car in the right shoulder. Not only does this backup traffic, but at times one accident causes another due to people not even waiting to be let in. So many times you have an accident and there's cars and/or emergency vehicles in the shoulder. Instead of just slowing down and staying in their own lane people will move right into the left lane per my other post earlier without even checking that they can, which in turn can cause another accident and does at times.

 

This past winter I was in the left lane and it was snowing pretty heavy, roads were slick. There was a two car accident and them and emergency vehicles were off in the shoulder. Luckily I consider myself a pretty seasoned driver and I know how to anticipate the stupid things other drivers do so I avoid trouble. I had a feeling a car that was approaching them on the right lane was going to just butt right in before me so I already started slowing down. And lo and behold, that's exactly what they did. Had I not already slowed down and had to slam on my brakes because of their stupidity, I would have surely either ended up hitting them from behind or found myself in a ditch. Just slow down and stay in your lane, geeze.

More:

 

-- Highway, 2 lanes in same direction.  Guy ahead of you (going 54 mph) decides to pass the guy ahead of him (going 53 mph) -- and never speeds up.

-- City.  Red light at intersection.  Car in front of you won't move up 2 inches so that you can squeeze into your turn-lane.

At busy intersection with solid green turn light, people sitting back at the stop line or crosswalk rather than moving up into the intersection, ensuring no one else can turn when the light goes red.

I think generally the US has the opposite problem. People think there is room to fit so they squeeze in going 60 mph.

 

No one keeps a safe distance from anyone else. You shouldn't follow a car at 60 mph 15 feet away. You'd be inside their car before you hit your brake if they had to hit theirs. Following distance is a huge problem here and leads to "tapping" brakes which furthers traffic congestion by creating "phantom traffic jams".

Just like in the other thread...every state is different. I can tell you here we don't have the problem you mention, we have the problem I mentioned. Everybody is afraid to move even when plenty of room. 

 

BTW I almost forgot earlier when I said on the freeway cars moving to the left lane back it up - to mention that here even freeways are only two lanes each way so that's why. In case anyone from places with 5 lanes was scratching their head.

 

As far as more goes I can come up with plenty more: someone repeatedly hitting their brakes for no reason forcing you to hit yours also unless you are way way behind them(it's like they've seen a ghost!). People waiting till the very end of their lane(if there is construction) or a merge lane to squeeze in infront of the whole line, instead of doing it where they first saw the sign(even though I'd let "normal" drivers in, I don't let those people in). People trying to pass you on the right on the freeway and then getting right inbetween you and the car infront of you because you were keeping a distance and couldn't go any faster than you were going only because there were cars infront of you(it's only with people like that that I feel like speeding up and not letting them although I usually still don't). People getting into traffic right infront of you when there's clearly not enough time, forcing you to hit your brakes(especially if there was no car behind you and they just had to wait 2 more seconds). I can probably go on all day.

Just this morning on a 3-lane internal highway was a driver who was going 80 mph, then 50, then 85, then 45.  What's the deal with not maintaining a constant speed, with no cops in sight?

 

General note:  Advertisers have made a big deal about cars that can go from 0 mph to 60 in 8 seconds.  We don't need a car that can do that.  What we NEED is a car that can go from 80 to 55 in one second.

Geeze that's crazy. I wouldn't wanna be behind someone going from 80 to 55 in one second...what we need is for some people to just buy a donkey or horse and carriage, save the environment and their money.

This is the absolute worst type of driver anyone can encounter on any interstate or multilane highway!
