What bad driving habits irritate you the most when you’re sitting in the passenger seat?

Question

Tarja · Accepted Answer

"When the driver plays the "punch-buggy" game with her mother. Or when the mother is driving and does that with her daughter. For those who do not know: the game is continually on-going  when either of them see a car resembling a Volkswagen Beetle, it's a race to see who can call out the car's colour, attach the phrase "punch buggy" and then punch the other participant. For example: the driver is, well, driving, and her mother has shotgun. Her mom sees a blue Beetle, call out "BLUE PUNCH BUGGY" and socks the driver in the arm (while we are moving at considerable speed). It just doesn't seem like the safest game to play with the driver, while the driver's driving. If the driver was caught unawares, there could be a chance we'd end up swerving into oncoming traffic. "

EVERYTHING. I HATE being in the car when someone else is driving.  Everyone on the road is a retard but me!

Watcharaporn · Answer

not seeing the car in front is braking when you have noticed and so they have to slam the brakes on

Petra Vogt · Answer

When they don't look before changing lanes.

Morganica · Answer

Stopping at the Stop sign. People either stop waaaay too soon from the sign..or half way into the intersection...though I'll admit that the later makes me want to get Medieval on their asses. And signaling. How fucking hard is it to signal every time you change directions?!

Johanna · Answer

Not waiting their turn at a stop sign.

Leonie Papst · Answer

More like when I'm driving, but I really hate it when the passenger gets in the way when I'm backing out. I look left, no problem  I look right and the passenger is up in my grill. MOVE!

Saw · Answer

I hate when the driver turns on their signal AS they're changing lanes/turning. It drives me nuts when my father throws himself in front of a car without warning because he doesn't have his signal on ahead of time.

Majvar · Answer

DEANDREA · Answer

Parking lot stalking. Just park the f$%#ing car already!! I can walk the extra 20 feet!

Anja Schweizer · Answer

Speeding up when going into a turn.

Toini · Answer

waiting until the last minute to get into the exit lane, or the lane you actually need to be in to make a right or left turn.

Kerstin Schneider · Answer

Tailgating.

Mair · Answer

Not slowing down soon enough. Too many people wait until they see the brake lights of the car immediately in front of them come on before they react. I am watching further down the road than that, and when I see traffic ahead stopping and the driver of the car I am in is still accelerating it scares the shit out of me.

Melvyn · Answer

I hate when the driver shoots up heroin at red lights

Ingjerd · Answer

I hate when people don't signal.

Simmonds · Answer

I had a friend that always tapped the gas. Constantly. Rather than keep the engine speed constant for a given speed, she'd let the car slow a little, then rev it up for a second. Over and over. You could feel the car lurch forward every couple of seconds. Made me sick. Like puke sick.

Laura-Maija · Answer

Poor right lane discipline. It drives me nuts when people just hang out in the left lane, but the worst is when they force people to get in the right lane in order to pass. My girlfriend is horrible about this. It seems like I spend about half of our car trips telling her to get the hell in the right lane.

ElijahScott · Answer

Texting. My friends text while driving and swerving, all the while joking about how it should be illegal. I don't ride with the ones who do it anymore. They have been in many minor accidents.

Cora · Answer

"Tailgating and lane drifting easily. Ive determined some people have no idea where the car is within their lane.  My gf got mad at me last week when I screamed in horror for her to stop the car since the guy in front of us had stopped, we were still accelerating, and his taillights were busted. We barely stopped in time, at which point I was called an asshole and told how she totally saw the car. One of many examples that day.  When she later on gave a safe amount of room between the car ahead, another squeezed in and I had to hear how she was somehow vindicated. "See! 1 more car is now ahead of us! Ffffuuuuu" "

Leanor · Answer

Unnecessary braking. Learn to coast.  I'd rather not vomit the car.

SELENA · Answer

Turning their head to face me as they talk. Scares the living shit out of me every time.

Marshall · Answer

I hate when the person driving talks on the phone, swerving wildly and ignoring my cries of fear.

Janin · Answer

When they pull down their visor to check themselves out in the mirror at red lights, and don't realize when the light goes green :|

Astra · Answer

They get road rage and complain about the other cars. Not that I don't do it, just awkward in the passeger seat.
