Not stuff people do to you. Stuff you do to others. As in, what mistake, when you make it, bugs you the most? Shit happens and we all make mistakes, it’s OK. But some make you wish there you could get out and apologize profusely to the affected motorist.

Kinja'd!!!

Pic vaguely related.

For me, it’s when I get in someone’s way. You’re moving faster than me, I’m busy with an overtake of my own and therefore in the lane you want? I’ll usually speed up. Someone’s waiting behind me at a turn? Stuff like that really bugs me if it goes on for too long (I’m going to say 15-20 seconds. Time it. You’d be surprised how fast traffic actually does move. 15-20 is a fairly long span, though not extreme by any means.) and it put’s me in a practically helpless situation. I can’t go ahead and I can’t let the person go by me. I’ll often rug it for a smaller gap than I would normally take in that situation, just so the guy behind can have their turn.

Kinja'd!!!

However...

On the other hand, this often leads to “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” situations, but in reverse. I try my best to stay out of your way. I expect you to stay out of mine.

I always feel bad when I’m driving through a construction zone, and I can hear my wheels scattering the fresh patches that were just poured into the potholes a few minutes ago. Especially when the workers are just a few yards away, and can probably hear it.

One time I flashed my brights at someone while he flashed his at me. Turns out we both forgot to turn our lights on and tried to remind each other. It was kind of funny.

As far as my worst mistakes, I think it’s really just anything where the other driver saves us from a crash. I’ve merged on top of two different cars and failed to notice a stop sign once. All three incidents made me want to just pull over and go into hiding. Super scary and embarrassing as hell.

Shortening the gap at a stop light. If I’m sitting at a light and people are moving up and there’s like two car lengths in front of me, I get lazy and don’t bother with shifting to first to shorten the gap. I know that’s leaving someone behind me in the lurch.

Yeah.. yesterday I did something that I’m simultaneously pleased/ashamed of... Some dick wasn’t letting someone get over to get their exit, even though they had lots of room and were just passing through the lane. They kept speeding up until they’d caught up to the guy in front and the person getting over had to find another gap. So when I had a chance I cut the guy off and went on my merry way.

Just have to keep telling yourself “it’s not worth it. it’s not worth it. it’s not worth it.”

Leaving too much nose out in parking spots. My Ram is way more difficult to judge rear distance than my Dakota was for some strange reason. I could park my Dakota anywhere but I still struggle with my Ram. And I didn’t have this problem with my dad’s ‘99 Ram nor the ‘78 GMC I learned on. Even when I had the tailgate off. I suspect it’s due to the rake that exists on the 2WD Ram that didn’t exist on my 2WD Dakota nor the other 4WD trucks. Even with drop shackles it still sits way high in the rear. I’d like a 4/2 drop for no reason other than to level it.

I also hate when I’m in somebody’s way. The other one that bugs me, is when I don’t notice somebody at a 4-way stop, and I start going when it’s their turn. This happens because the way I sit, with the height of my torso and the positioning of the rear-view mirror in my truck., the mirror blocks my view of any car stopping to my right. Occasionally I forget to duck down and check if there’s somebody else there. I get so mad at myself when I do that.

It’s so much worse on hills, when you can’t tell if it’s just their low beams on a slant.

That said, if someone is using those fake xenon blue things that blind everyone as low beams, I’ll put my brights on for them. Because fuck you.

When I rage on people. Can’t say I’m proud of it, but I’ve violently brake-checked lane hoggers before (after undertaking them). As in slow traffic down to 25-30mph just to spite the lane hogger, which is beyond stupid in hindsight, since I’m only delaying myself more than I otherwise would be, and will eventually try it on someone with a gun and a bad temper.

I always feel terrible about it and wished I had been more mature and just reminded myself it's not worth it. I hate being human.

When I’m the first car waiting in the right lane at a red light and the car behind me wants to go right, I will sometimes inch into the crosswalk so they can squeeze behind me and turn. This is purely because I feel guilty about making them wait (of course I don’t do this with pedestrians present).

When I’m in the left lane of the highway passing a slower car that is itself approaching behind an even slower vehicle in its lane, I will speed up so the other guy doesn’t have to brake before moving in behind me. If I see the other car have to brake/deactivate cruise to wait for me to pass, once again, I feel bad.

The list goes on. I sometimes think more about other drivers on the road than I do about my own driving.

“when someone’s low beams are pretty bright and you flash at them to turn their highs off...”

That one doesn’t bother me so much. With all the lifted Jeeps and trucks around here, I see too-bright lights as either high beams or they didn’t bother to adjust their lights after the lift.I had some jackhole blind me this morning in his lifted Jeep with his low beams and @!#$^@#$% fog/driving lights turned on.

Perhaps if they get flashed enough times they will take a hint and get their lights adjusted to compensate for the lift.

This is the only one I’ve had this problem with though. I’ve been improving, but it’s a strangle struggle given that I’ve been driving pickups frequently and backing them into spots since my learner’s permit. And strangely, it’s the shortest pickup I’ve driven by about a foot. (not counting the 3 minute stint in a 80's S10) My Dakota was longer due to the extended cab (and 3" longer bed), the GMC was a long bed, and the ‘99 was an extended cab long bed.

I have done deliberate rage, occasionally... but for the most part I satisfy myself with a high-speed pass and a not-quite-cut-off lane change.

I do team up against people though. Some guy was being a dick (in this case by boxing him in deliberately) to another driver who wasn’t causing any problems. The driver broke free after a while which pissed the dick off even more and made him even more aggressive, so when I caught up I treated the guy to his own cooking. I stuck with the other guy and blocked the dick from coming by until eventually the moron got off.

Smart? Probably not. Satisfying? Hell yes.

I hate accidentally cutting people and/or almost hitting them. I think I’ve checked all my blindspots, I think I’ve looked everywhere I need to, but I miss something somehow and I either merge into a lane where I have no right being, or take a turn at an intersection that could have gotten nasty, or (and this happened to me yesterday) I go to pass two cars and the second car at the front of the pack is taking a left at the same moment and I narrowly avoided them by driving onto the shoulder.

I still feel like a complete fucking asshole for that last one.

That WAS RainX’d :/

Ahhh... I get what you meant about driving lights up front now. As far as having others see you dip, on this road it was pitch black but fairly open. You can always see the lights if you’re coming to a hill, but if it’s a curve... 50/50. Even so, I tend to leave my highs on until our lit patches about equal the gap between them (OK, no hard and fast rule here. This is just as close as I can approximate it)... because once the highs are out you can’t. see. jack.

Despite my current situation in the flat (swamp) lands of semi-rural South Louisiana, my formative years were spent driving on hills in the country. I’m very familiar with the difference between low and high beams cresting a hill. Everyone was intensely aware of how bright their lights were, so they had the habit of looking for lights coming the other direction and dimming their lights before cresting the hill. My mom’s rule was if you could see either the headlights OR taillights of another vehicle, you turned your brights off so you wouldn’t blind someone else.

If you lift your vehicle and don’t bother to readjust your lights, you deserve every bright flash coming your way.

When I see an animal in the road and instinctively swerve instead of just hitting it like I should. I know swerving can lead to a loss of control and a possible accident. That's why as soon as I do it, I mentally berate myself constantly. I'm trying to work on it, though.

“Get some rainx on there.. stat!”

RainX is fine if the rain is heavy enough and you are moving fast enough for the wind to blow the water droplets off the windshield. In situations where you have to use the wipers, RainX causes the water to break into tiny droplets as the wipers pass. When someone is coming the other way, their lights will hit the water and white-out your field of view.

But, I was in the country and am FROM the city. Harder for me to make that call. Some people are definitely too bright, some are definitely on low beam, but there are some where you can’t quite tell what they are... and when you flash them and get blinded in return it makes you feel kinda stupid.

And that’s fair enough. I’ll take that.

Ouch. It’s hard to grow up City and transplant Country. I had the joy of experiencing both. Major metropolitan to start, moved to a commuter city, moved to a University town, then moved to the boondocks, all before I turned 12. How rural was it? It was 5 miles into town where only the gas station, Sonic, and a local pizza place stayed open past 7:00; and 35 miles to that bastion of rural shopping nirvana, Wal-Mart. There wasn’t even a stoplight in town until I was a junior in high school.

There’s nothing wrong with a quick blip of the high beams to remind your neighbors to be friendly, even if they already are. No shame if you can’t tell the difference either. It usually means your eyes are accustomed to the output of your own lights which are in desperate need of a good cleaning.

This was a “just passing through” scenario, so even more so. As far as how rural it was... You can take a street-level look at anywhere between Kenora and Vermillion Bay and imagine it at night, that should give you the idea.

And that headlight cleaning bit isn’t at all unlikely. Even the period of torrential rain at 90-100kph could barely put a dent in the bug splats, so yeah.

DAMMIT MAN JUST GO TO THE NEXT ROAD, IT’S NOT THAT COMPLEX

Even worse in my books are they guys in the left lane who stop and let him in. Don’t cater to the moron.

When i do it, its because the next road is no commercial vehicles or stuff in tow, which I normally take with my beige mobile.
