Default While we're a bit on the topic of drivers who annoy us, you'll love this one.

I'm coming into work the other day and I'm approaching a 4-way intersection controlled by a light. There is a left turn lane going my direction and one on the opposing side, each coltrolled by an arrow but you're allowed to proceed on green if it's clear. So I'm approaching the light and it's green in my favor. There are 4 cars in the left turn lane on the opposing side, but none of them can go because traffic is stacked up back to the intersection in the lane they're entering, so the guy in front is sitting there in his lane, but out in the intersection waiting for traffic to clear. I'm proceeding through just like I should given I have a green. All of a sudden, the 4th car back in the opposing left turn lane darts out into MY LANE facing head-on with me. She then proceeds into the intersection in my lane, forces me to slam on the brakes, and cuts off the guy at the front of the left turn lane to make her left! I couldn't believe my eyes. I'm laying on my horn, everyone in the left turn lane on her side who used to be in front of her are laying on their horns and throwing up their hands. It was just unbelievable...and real first...

Default Obviously she is more important than you and everyone else.

I don't know why you would think you had the right of way in this situation...And then you had the nerve to blow your horn at her? Geez. Sometimes I'm ashamed to be associated with you TT owners.

Default Yes, well I really felt bad after and sent a letter of apology to..

....the President of the United States. That is the only person I could figure was so important that such a maneuver was required.

sounds like you needed to dispatch a field rep to her place of business.

Default Yup.. seen that before.. here's mine:

At the same type of intersection, but I am in my left turn lane and two cars are across from me in the opposing left turn lane.

I am waiting for traffic to clear coming towards me and the first car across from me turns. Traffic has cleared and I am ready to go when the idiot in the left turn lane across from me darts out of the lane to continue stright. I SLAM on the brakes and sit there and he slams on his brakes right in front of me. I can't go anywhere and he just sits there, all stupid like. Finally he goes. What stupid people!

Default The worse are people that don't use their turn signal..

Last night as I was driving home this guy in an Altima makes about 6 lane changes and doesn't use his turn signal for any of them.. I sat there thinking how much Id bust his turn signals with my flash fligh (hey he doesn't need em anyway) but figured it'd be best if I left the jackasses to play amongst themselves..
