you know what's equally annoying?

people who take the open lane (any open lane) and DON'T SPEED UP. i can understand being in city traffic and not always being able to keep right. but for god's sake, if you take an open lane SPEED THE FUCK UP. i HATE IT when people take the open lane simply because "i don't want to be behind someone".

^yess this is annoying

i also find it funny when some1 is tailgating you because your not on the persons ass in front of you when your doing 110 and your 2 car lengths behind them...hmm i wonder why i keep a distance??

In these situations, I scoot over to the right side of the lane to show there is no more room to move up. If he still doesn't get the point, I blip the brakes a couple of times.

If he still wants to be Captain Oblivious, he obviously wants to taste my asshole.

I don't keep right in the city usually, unless it's a weird exception of long road in the middle of nowhere.

Dragon-88 · 09-22-2010, 04:04 PM

In the city i keep way right becuase everyone always want to keep left..

I have never been on a road highway or city, right or left lane that drivers were doing exactly posted limits. EVER. so STAY to the RIGHT

fliptuner · 09-22-2010, 08:38 PM

I haven't seen it posted yet but it's also illegal to pass on the right. If someone is in the left lane, when the right is open, they're facilitating an illegal pass by blocking.

This is not correct.

Quote:

Passing on right
158 (1) The driver of a vehicle must not cause or permit the vehicle to overtake and pass on the right of another vehicle, except

(a) when the vehicle overtaken is making a left turn or its driver has signalled his or her intention to make a left turn,

(b) when on a laned roadway there is one or more than one unobstructed lane on the side of the roadway on which the driver is permitted to drive, or

(c) on a one way street or a highway on which traffic is restricted to one direction of movement, where the roadway is free from obstructions and is of sufficient width for 2 or more lanes of moving vehicles.

fliptuner · 09-22-2010, 09:19 PM

Guess that's just what I've always been taught/practiced if possible, since it's safer to pass on the left.

GabAlmighty · 09-22-2010, 09:59 PM

In the states isn't it illegal to pass on the right? I know i've "heard" that a few times. Even watched a gumball vid where a guy was passing a semi on the right and the semi swerved to hit him and the cop said it's his fault cuz he was passing on the right?

Mind you, he could have been passing on the shoulder for all I know. Those Gumball kids to that from time to time.

i have no clue as to WTF you are saying.. my head hurt just trying to read it...

samkyupsal · 09-23-2010, 12:31 AM

the intention of the left laner is not to block other drivers but to just be at his comfort.
say if the right lane is going 80km/h and the limit is 90Km/h and the left laner only feels safe only up to a speed of 90km/h and wnats to be at the speed and it can only be accomplished in the left lane.
Why should lawbreaker move for lawbreaker?
u guys say speeders dont piss off people? what abotu the popo. im sure they would be more pissed at speeders then left laners. from what ive seen on hwy 1, popos dont even care for left laners.
what abotu the people in the hov lane wanting to change lanes but cant cuz of speeders!

and i know its gonna lead to no where
but when have u guys ever experienced a true 100% everyone keep right situation on hwy 1? never. EVER.

irrelavent
anotehr annoying thing is when some people change to a right clear lane at the red light of an intersection. and i just happen to be the 2nd car wanting to make a right turn.

Okay, then be in the right lane...go 90km/h, once u reach a car or a group of cars, switch into the left lane, pass this car/group of cars, once you have done so, move into the right lane. If the group in the right lane that you are passing is a large group, switch into the left lane, however, when you see another vehicle closing in on you in your rearview mirror (which you are checking frequently), you turn your right turn signal, and simply switch back into the right lane until this vehicle has driven by, at which point you may now switch back into the right lane and continue passing the vehicles that are in the right lane which are travelling at 80km/h. Is that really that difficult to understand?

You can't wait 15 seconds to make your right turn?...

so in the case of left laner one has to do alll that for the courtesy of others, while in the red light one can just stfu and wait.

Yes.

Anjew · 09-23-2010, 04:39 AM

fucking OP is so stupid.... its not all about being faster....

there are drivers out there that drive the speed limit or faster but still drive like shit.... brake hard, inconsistent braking, braking for fucking no reason at all(this one pisses me off the most), gas too late, gas waaay too late, gas while braking (seriously there was one...), brake pumping 100x per stop etc

obviously you know you should be moving over.... move the fuck over....

there is also a flip side to this issue...

impatient motherfuckers that tailgate right away. traffic in front, cant move any faster, cant move to the right lane since theres a buncha turtles, bus, cyclist etc... get tailgated up the ass regardless... that's a fucking piss off too.

there are a lot worse things to complain about that having to sit and wait to turn right... or letting people speed past you on the road...

like people WHO DO NOT shoulder check OR signal and change lanes...
like people who runs yellow lights, let alone red lights....
and so on...

StylinRed · 09-23-2010, 07:18 AM

what really grinds my gears

are the people who don't know how to merge... they think its a fucking yield so they're stopped trying to merge into hwy 1 from 0km/h merging into roughly 100km/h traffic

same with those hwy merge lanes with the red light/green light that stay on long enough for 1 car to pass from each lane (left,right,left,right) people are clueless

fliptuner · 09-23-2010, 08:26 AM

Well, it is a yeild but some people are so fucking passive and scared that it fucks up the flow.

Perfect example was last night around 7:30. I was driving my 5T, loaded with equipment, Boundary exit to Hwy 1 West. You're supposed to look left as you come around the ramp and adjust your speed to be able to merge. Two cars in front, the driver just stops. Lots of breaks in traffic and the guy just sits there. He starts crawling, so the car behind him thinks he's going for it and hits the gas to follow (whilst looking left, I guess). The guy in front stops again FOR NOTHING and the guy behind slams into him. Both their faults, yes but if the guy up front wasn't a fucking bonehead and just got on already, he would've been long gone.

Now how the fuck is it possible for me to go around them, take note of the plates and easily merge into traffic (due to the weight of my load and the incline, I shifted 5-6 times before I was actually completely on the freeway)? Uhhh...I don't know....maybe I have a fucking clue what's going on and know my vehicle? Idiots.

gdoh · 09-23-2010, 08:31 AM

i see this all the fuckin time at were you have to merge onto the highway. how the fuck do u expect to merge into traffic doing 60 when they are doing 90+

fliptuner · 09-23-2010, 08:41 AM

60? Fuck, at 60 you have a chance of someone taking pity on your dumbass. At ZERO, it's game over. If the merge point is long enough and the stopped car is way up front, guaranteed people are going to merge behind him and give him a WTF while passing.

gdoh · 09-23-2010, 08:46 AM

but when they merge in that slow it fucks everything up behind them. yea zero is retarded.i dont let people in if there arnt going as fast or faster than me if ur to dumb to hit the gas then go behind me
