What traffic violation do you hate most?

If I can get away with two...

1) people not staying in their lane when making right or left turns. I have a favorite intersection with 2 right turn lanes where people will actually honk and get very upset WHEN I STAY IN MY LANE AND THEY MOVE FROM THEIR LANE INTO MINE.

2) Not following basic yield rules. These rules are in place so that the people with the right of way can confidently drive without fear of people suddenly cutting them off. When you sense that they are not being followed, suddenly traffic flow is severly compromised and accidents often result. (My favorite is when you are on a main street at an intersection waiting forever for traffic to clear so you can make a left and then some idiot who just came up out of a parking lot barges right out in front of you onto the main street in the only gap that has come up for you.) What amazes me is how people will flip you off when you exercise your right of way. Aarrrrgh!

Ok, I need to let my blood pressure come down...

 

If you wanna see it that badly, I'll play the role of the Make a Wish Foundation For Bikers of America, or "MAWFFBA" and take you on a ride-along. We can pull over cagers for riding in the left lane until you get your fill of spanking drivers.

I'm a ways away from where you are, but MAWFFBA is there for you. :biggrin:
The left laners are dangerous for us when we are going to an emergency call too because we have to wait for them to move over, when they shouldn't have been there anyway. I've given tickets to them for riding in the left lane for no purpose. I-5 here sucks nuts for travelling because of the left lane riders. Grrrrrr.

For our buddies from other countries, maybe I should make it the Make A Wish Foundation For Bikers of America and World League, or MAWFFBAWL.:thumbsup:

 

Citations written for interrupting the normal flow of traffic are public record. Many places in Oregon and Washington are posted that vehicles holding up traffic must pull off and allow the traffic to pass.

In WA. bikes can use the HOV lanes at any time. WSP issues citations for holding up traffic in HOV and the "regular" left lane on not only I-5 but others as well.

Interrupt the normal flow in CA and ya got CHP on your behind, and it don't have to be rush hour. It can be real early in the mornin. How do I know this??

I wish I could tell you I was in a Ferrari with Catherine Zeta-Jones or had a vid. Sorry bout that.

 

I hate when cagers pretend they don't see you... even during the day, they just tra-la-la along... Or worse, they see you and try to hurt you. I actually made eye contact with a guy in his side mirror, watched him grin, and then he pulled into my way... Gotta love these guys, karmic retributions include small penises and dulled brain activity

 

tail gating and lane hogging, followed by highbeaming of the numerous 4*4's its down right dangerous in my book. Well the people who pass you really slowly on a long straight and then just inch infront of you and do 10mph slower than you where doing before that drives me nutz as well.

 

+1 on just about everything. The one I hate the most is Double Yellow, Diamond Lane, Jumping. Put my head through a driver side window once because of this. Chicken shit fucker looked right at me before he did it. After a narrow miss, I pull around him and stop. But he wouldn't get out of the car. Even with a fuzzy helmet cam shot of him looking directly at me before attempting to kill me, it still cost me a weekend in jail and damn near 4Gs to plead not guilty, claim self-defense and beat the case on grounds that I had just been asaulted by this man with his car and was in fear for my life so I had no choice but smash his window and remove the keys from his ignition and toss them to the other side of the freeway thereby disarming him of his deadly weapon.....
...or maybe it was just all a dream?!?!?!?!

 

That was me dude, quit stealing my stories.

 

I'm surprised that nobody mentioned cagers flicking their lit cigarettes out the window while you are behind them. I've had a few lit cigs hit me in the visor before. I imagine it would have hurt had my visor been up.

I'm not into paying for sex, BUT if it was with Ms. Jones...well I might have to fork over some dough and go "all asian anal"!

Psst! Bear ship me some analube would ya:wink:

Yep, that one pisses me off, too.

Basic littering also gets me. When I'm waiting next to or behind someone at a light and see them drop a piece of garbage on the ground, I'm tempted to put my kickstand down, walk over and pick up the trash and hand it back to the perp, saying "I'm sorry, I think you accidentally dropped this here."

 

It should be deposited right up his arse. Hate those MFers.

 

Would be well worth the lawyers fees and all. Who doesn't have this "dream"?

 

Cell phones implanted on ones head. High beams ( like what the fuck does that bright blue kight on my dash mean) Cruise control in the passing lanes. And last but not least. Cow shit in Chilliwack. The rest of this issues I can usually do something to mitigate the effects.

 

Did just that...many times in my previous life. Only thing is, all people passing probably mutter words to the effect, don't the fucking police have anything better to do that ticket people for "speeding". But I have to ask you. Who should get the ticket? The person driving slow cause they may be uncomfortable driving at a higher rate of speed, and therefore a safety concern. Or that dip shit following who will not pas, therefore starting what inevitably becomes a lineup.

 

+1. There are worse/more dangerous violations than speeding, many of them detailed in the posts above. But speeding is the easiest to observe and prove.

 

I hate it when an ass hat passes in the slow lane going mach 5.

 

TAILGATERS! iF THEY WONT LET GO WHEN I`M IN A CAR OR ON MY BIKE.
Hit the brakes HARD! making sure i can pull away before the shunt.
That either makes em back off thinking i`m a nutter or winds them up even more and pass me.
If they pass me like a man possesed and i`m on my bike ,one touch of the throttle leaves them really pissed off!
How about getting a small fixed swithchable illuminated sign on the rear saying ???? YOU TELL ME!! hehe

 

my brother actually taped off letters on his huge brake light... now whenever he brakes the damn thing glows "BACK OFF!" gets a real kick at bike nights, people always ask him to do theirs next

 

Tailgating ra-heeely bothers me but,
recently, I've become frustrated and angry with the number of people that I see swerving all over the road and braking for no particular reason - once I get up beside them at, say, a stop light, inevitably they're sitting there, oblivious to the world as they are effing TEXTING!

 

driving along in a car last year,car in front swerving ect -texting.
Pulled up next to her in town traffic,
my mate done a blutooth search on his phone,
seen her looking around, she accepted it,
sent through,
POLICE NOTICE- STOP TEXTING-OFFENCE
she dropped her phone!!!- quick!
