what drives me nuts are these people that cruise in the right lane when you are trying to merge. The other day I was getting on the highway with 4 cars in front of me. Traffic is going 60-65 and I couldn't go faster than 50-55 with these people in front of me. As I am running out of room to get on the highway this a$$hole doesn't want to move out of the lane and let us in. I am forced to get on her tail, and when I go around her she wants to look at me like I am the jerk. I am starting to think we should have to retake a written test when renewing your license. GRRR

Typical...it wasnt in the F but I was in my 05 CTS-V Thurs night, cruising down the road(the V is loud!) had some dip**** in a tahoe with exhaust pull up next to me, rev like crazy, switching & swerving lanes, there was 4 young teenage kids in there hanging out the windows screaming at me(no clue what), of course the woman looks at me after & says 'why do guys have to do that...(jokingly)I hate this damn car'

My absolute favorite is when someone pulls up next to you in the right lane at a light because they want to get around you. Of course they only have about 200 feet to get past you before that parked car. Just sit there like you don't have a care in the world but when that light turns green you hammer the gas. Some guy in a carrera 4S tried that with me and I still remember the sound of his car smashing into the back of an SUV. Music...

Unfortunately, its jerks like this that cause accidents that never should happen in the first place.

you are so right. I just think it is funny that people want to look at you crazy and give you the finger when stuff like that happens. Just a little common sense on the highway would do a lot of good.

Maybe it is a Cali thing! haha

A lot of time I signal to change lanes or exit and as I'm about to change into the next lane I see a car all the way in the back like 10 cars back but right as I signal to change lane the car then speeds up and instead of passing me they slow down and drive right next to you so you can't change lanes or exit! WTF!!!

Also with the ISF, I saw these females from nowhere taking pictures and looking at my car on my driveway! WTF! Looks like they were waiting for me to come out, haha.

Haven't seen that happen much in Cali, but on the East Coast, you can't use your turn signal, if you do they will surely cut you off!

D-bag drivers and oblivious drivers are becoming the norm now. I try not to let it get to me, but they are irritating.

People seem to like doing this during merge lanes which collapse into a single lane at a vanishing point, too. Instead of alternating cars like a zipper, they'll try to block or straddle both lanes, just to get one car ahead. Par for the course, here in DC, VA, MD.

As to the F, I don't think many of my negative experiences have been related to the car, specifically. I feel most drivers are too oblivious, as it is, to really give my vehicle special attention.

I always let people in when merging but people seem to never let me in, haha.

Also I hate when people speed and flash you even when the light is turning red. All the spending some cars do and I'm still a car length behind while driving speed limit.
