Douche Bags of Road Travel

Whether you’re rushing to school/work or following the speed limit, we manage to encounter drivers who take us to the point of insanity. Here is a list of the top douche bags of road travel.


Mergers
Merging onto an adjacent lane is one of the hardest maneuvers to perform for anyone depending of the volume of traffic of that lane. The annoying ones merge onto your lane and continue on the highway at a speed slower than the oncoming traffic while failing to put the turn signal on. Worse, they aren’t paying attention and merge at the very last minute, leaving little room for you to avoid that douche bag.


Trucks/Busses
These guys definitely do not disappoint. They are huge accidents on wheels just waiting to happen. They’re more likely to break the rules of the road. Avoiding you is not on the top of their “to-do list”. Worst of all, they slow the movement of traffic to a standstill especially when they leave the rightmost lane, where they belong.


Slow Drivers

It is no secret that slow drivers cause traffic congestion. Speed limits were not made just to limit the top speed of the car; it is also there to help the traffic flow at an optimal rate. Slow drivers can cause things that range from drivers rapidly changing lanes to drivers possibly bumping onto the slow driver in front.


Drivers not paying attention

Whether they’re on the phone, eating, chatting with a passenger, they’re all not paying attention. Since the other driver is in his/her own little world, preventing an accident depends on the actions of the other driver alone.




Headlight Flashers

Ever been on the fast lane driving 10 -15 mph over the speed limit and you notice someone racing towards you at 100mph and flashes their headlights? These douche bags want you to switch lanes because you are going to “slow” for them.


Pedestrians

Even though these pedestrians are mostly on the road just to cross to the sidewalk across the street, they are quite a nuisance; especially in manhattan or in any other major city. They seem to enjoy crossing the road when it’s the driver’s turn to go. Additionally, they cross the street about as fast as sea turtles on land.


Government Vehicles

As important as these vehicles are for our continued safety, they get pretty annoying on the road…especially when there’s traffic and expect you to find a place to pull over…wtf man! Another thing to note are those fake civilian vehicles that pretend to be undercover cops and pull random people over…DOUCHE BAG! As for the sanitation vehicles, they’re huge and they take up the whole street and you have no choice but to wait until they’re finished with that block [ I appreciate what they do by the way but we have to get to work too you know!]. Some of them are nice enough to pull over to the side, but they’re few in numbers.


Taxi Drivers

As one of the very few drivers who can make you happy at any given moment and horrible the next, these bright yellow devils have a nasty habit of cutting you off once they see the smallest opportunity. They’re like dogs, once they smell uncertainty, they will cut you off. These taxi cab problems typically apply to the people who have driven around the major cities of the world. New York City in particular has one of the most annoying cab drivers on earth.


Student Drivers

The babies of the road, these budding drivers will shape the future of driving so we should cut them some slack right? WRONG! They are slow, take up both lanes and worse, they drive closer to the parked cars. Let’s just hope they learn quickly.
