All of them are annoying. I hate the ones that come come up in an adjacent lane, get to the point where they're front bumper is right next to my rear wheel and then slow down and pace me. I speed up, they speed up, I slow down, they slow down. I gun it and put myself a mile ahead of them and 20 minutes later, I'm in the same situation again with the same idiot. Others are the ones that creep up slowly over a 50 mile stretch, pass me, move over in front of me and SLOW DOWN!!! If I'm in front, they want to go 2 mph faster than me. If I'm in back, they want to go 2 mph slower. Mind you, I'm on a cruise control and it's not MY speed that changed! Very frustrating.

 

Creepers term is funny - scarry when it happens to you though!
Left lane expressway riding during rush hour 70mph - two car lengths between you and the next guy (only way to do it in Detroit) and a certain "F%$#$# Azz*%#!" needs or thinks they're entitled to be there. Bulls their way in without hesitation and slams on their brakes because YOU were following too closely! Or - continues at the same speed as they were in the slow lane! Usually on the phone too!
I could go on all day!

 

A lot of really old retirees here in AZ (maybe a little older than me ). The little old ladies sit low and probably can't see over the dashboard and really don't know that there are other people on the road. We refer to them as "Blue Hairs". Man, ya gotta give 'em a full yield!!

 

Hey I hear you. We get them all of the time on the mountain stretches of Interstate 5. Usually they are flatlanders from So Cal.

They do all you said on the straights and then slow down to under the speed limit on the twisty grades, but they won't give up the left lane.

If traffic is heavy and they are backing it up, I often pull off and take a break so I never see them again. The alternative is to pass them on the grades and run away far enough so they don't catch me on the straights.

Alternatively, see the recent thread about dropping ball bearings, spark plugs, etc. when they are tailgating.

 

I feel ya'lls PAIN! Part of two wheels.&#%^$#$!@##$$ mu_uc_er l.ray

 

You may have seen this before, but I thought it was appropriate regarding the topic at hand.



"Motorcyclist offers apology and restitution to members of DUMB


An apology is in order, so, please, forgive me. It was not until this morning on my ride to work that I fully understood I was in error.


Yes, I've noticed that there are many very busy and important people on the roads. You all are hard to miss with the cell phones, laptops, breakfast bars, coffee, cigarettes and all, but until now, I didn't realize I was causing so much trouble for you busy, multitasking drivers.
I figured it out this morning, thanks to the nice lady working on the laptop who needed the lane I was in.
First, ma'am, let me say that when I honked at you from the shoulder, I didn't mean to startle you. My intent was just to give you a little beep to let you know the lane was all yours. But I was braking so hard, I couldn't lift my thumb off the horn button. My bad.
I surely didn't mean to cause you to nearly hit the guy talking on the cell phone. You know, he was smoking and talking as he moved his SUV right into the space you had just left.
Anyway, the good news is, that's when I realized all of you multitasking drivers must be texting each other about intended lane changes and running traffic lights and stop signs and such. I'm sorry - I'm still using old-fashioned blinkers. I didn't realize you needed some time to e-notify that guy that you needed the lane back. I really messed it up for both of you!
I can only say that the guard rail was a little distracting, and I was only thinking about myself. I'll try harder next time.
Like I said, I didn't know that was how you multitasking drivers were communicating. It must have been in an e-mail, but my laptop fell off my tank and I haven't replaced it.
However, I have a solution.
I know many of you are so busy and important that you have no choice - you have to eat, work, talk, read and do lots of other really important things as you drive.
Those of us who use the road only for traveling would be happy to stay out of your way; we just need to know you're coming.
A little visual clue would help - I was thinking of a bumper sticker. That way, everyone could identify you as Drivers Utilizing Multiple Behaviors.
Of course, that's a little long, so we'd cut it down to an acronym - DUMB.
If you'd place stickers on the front, back and maybe the sides of your car, the rest of us would know not to interfere with you on the road.
I think it's such a good idea, I'll pay for the bumper stickers and even put them on for you. Deal?
Again, I'm sorry I got in your way. I'll try harder to see you coming from now on.
I promise!"

 

I call them targets.

 

Now, we all cant forget the ppl in the cages that are driving and all of a sudden they see something they like and just Stop and turn left or right without even putting their blinkers on...Or they Just stop all of a sudden...If your going to do that S*** you might aswell put the damn thing on after you turn...Love the Motorcyle...Hate the ppl who dont know how to drive...But thats the way things are...but if someone knocks me off my bike you guys maybe reading about me on here someday...if you know what I mean MUAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

 

All the definitions sound good to me, especially the AZZHOLE one

 

Cages really get on my nerves sometimes. Here is what happened to me last night:



This, my friends, is what you call GRIDLOCK MORONS. We sat there like this for literally over 30 seconds until they realized what we were stuck in. Eventually the traffic behind car number 2 reversed enough to let number 1 through. I was about to just blow by these idiots but I thought number 1 might take off and do a u-turn or something.
