Ask Lemmy

From experience I can tell you that I really hate it when the driver is doing ten over the limit then announces unprompted that he's not afraid of dying in a car accident because he knows he's going to be with Jesus.

Sitting at 60 in the middle lane, and then getting angry because people are tailgating and both over and under taking. Have some fucking lane disaplin.

Tailgating, racing other drivers, quick jerk lane changes, speeding more than ten mph over the limit, last minute braking.

Looking at me when they're talking. I don't care for the politeness of it, just watch the road!

I do about 98% of the driving. I've been driving an ambulance for almost 40 years. I cannot stand almost everything when someone else drives. It takes a lot for me to relinquish the driver's seat when we are doing more than a 4 hour drive.

Speeding, texting while driving, calling while driving, overtaking cars when there is a solid line, overtaking when you can't fuckin see what's in front (e.g.: overtaking a semi in right curve), overtaking while going like 2 km/h faster, going fast (even if within limit) when there is a fog and road signs warn about animals frequently crossing the road, unnecessarily loud music, strongly-heated car.

My friend won't wear his fucking seatbelt so the car fucking dings the whole time

My former boss's wife used to steer very strangely when driving - The Jeep was likely out of alignment, but instead of staying centered and making continuous small corrections, she'd let it drift to one side till it was on the line then quickly correct back towards center and then continue drifting, endlessly until arriving at the destination.

I'm not a huge fan of my father-in-law falling asleep while driving on the highway and then lying and saying that he was just thinking/meditating. I guess, also add my father-in-law thinking that driving down the highway is an acceptable time to meditate.

Recently one of my family members got license and a car. Great! However, whenever something happens that person always starts to shout, insult and behave like a child throwing a tantrum.

It made me going from “oh you want to drive to x place? Alright” to “no, it’s okay. I will take the bus” real quick.

Just being a passenger makes me uncomfortable.

Well... Driving a tesla, letting the autopilot do the work, showing off the amazing acceleration and using the karaoke function while driving when it explicitly tells you as you start it up that you shouldn't use it as the driver.

My mate is usually so sound of mind and an absolute delight to be around. But i just don't like driving in his tesla.

Using their phone, e.g. trying to snap it into their phone holder, planning a route, that sort of thing.

• Not looking at the road.
• Speeding, even more egregious during bad weather
• Eating something that isn't hand food or is messy. Also drinking from bottles that require a twist off. Straw is fine.
• Doing anything on the phone. I don't care if it's just to skip a song. Tell me and I'll do it. I'll even read texts to you. Just keep your eyes on the road.
• Agreesive drivers. Like, people who wanna try and race others, etc.
• No insurance of any kind
