Default I hate bad drivers, Tell why

So yesterday I was at the local Target and pulled into the parking lot in search for a spot. As I was waiting for this SUV to move, I saw his reverse lights come on. I quickly put the Ti in reverse but had no where to go because there was a woman behind me. As the SUV started backing up (about 6ft. away) I sat there laying on my horn. He never even hit his brakes. After the initial crunch, my car is what stopped the SUV. I jumped out of the TI to inspect the damage. No damage at all to the SUV. The Ti was not so lucky. I'll be needing a new nose panel, ruined my carbon fiber kidney grills, and my carbon fiber hood is cracked pretty good. After all of this I came to find out there was no one in front of him. He had no purpose to be in reverse. I believe that if someone does not know how to use mirrors or just likes going in reverse for no reason, they should not be on the road. Thanks for letting me vent. I'll have pics up soon

Wow, that sucks.

We always hope the horn will do it, but it cannot be counted on.

Their insurance should pay you, right?

That's 3/4 of the people on the road though man. I got bumped in the rear in my Ti TWICE, in the same exact spot by two different people.

Here it is.
-People ride in the left lane
-Nobody uses turn signals
-Nobody knows about mirrors
-Handicap parking spaces are non existant
-Nobody cares who is in front of them at an exit, they just go when they feel like it (my case with that ^^ up there)
-Everybody that has a Chevy Truck either has to drive like they have a race car, or if you pass them, have to catch up with you.

That's what I've learned so far.

Stupid drivers are everywhere. My story can be classified under "dumb blond drivers" :

On I88 we have four lanes all going west bound. I was in the middle left lane cruising along at 70 mph. I noticed this chick driving a Saab in the middle right lane. I had this bad feeling about her too. Anyways, we keep driving along and she gets a semi in front of her. So she passes the semi by going into the far right lane [no turn signal] and then after passing starts merging into her original middle right lane with no turn signal. But wait, she doesn't stop there but continues to start merging into the middle left lane [i.e. ME!] she comes within an inch of me before I swerve in to the far left lane jamming on my brakes.

She finishes merging into my former lane and stays there. So I speed up to get level with her and I raise my hands in a classic gesture of "WTF was that???"

She looks at me as if I am some maniac and she did nothing wrong.


I tell you, blond female drivers should be barred from driving. No offense....

How about the people that go the wrong way in a one way street, come on there is only one way to go.

Living in Los Angeles I encounter horrible drivers on a daily basis. The worst is when it rains out here... On the freeways everyone likes to go no faster than 50mph.

One of the things I hate most is when someone is making a left turn, they need to get into the center divider/median and they start slowing down, then pull into the median at the last minute having slowed down dramatically in the lane.

Default Prius drivers

Lately I have put together a correlation between bad drivers and Toyota Priuses.

I now hate getting stuck behind a Prius.

Not because the car looks dumb, nor because it is a bad car, I hate them because the buyers they attract tend to be terrible drivers. Only now they can blame their bad driving on the fact that it's a Toyota.

Have you ever noticed prius drivers are the ones who speed everywhere? I laugh when I'm going 80 and a prius gets up behind me then passes me.

What is standout with Prius drivers, is their heads are in the clouds. They are the kind of drivers who live life without a f#&@ing clue.

I see that all the time. I've also seen several with huge (heavy) wheels flying up and down 95 at 80+ mph.

I think the icing on the cake for me was seeing a prius all blacked out, black aftermarket wheels, and a big brake kit... Really? a big brake kit... wtf do you need that for?.. speeding on the highway i guess
