Driving Pet Peeves
1. The speed limit police: Driving in the passing lane and justified because they are going the speed limit.
2. Pulling out in front of you because they can get there first even it they have to run a stop sign either in their golf cart or car. 3. Stopping your car to let golf carts cross the road. Its very dangerous and very annoying as cars have the right of way and could easily cause an accident. What are yours? |
1. Speeders in residential sections
2. People who use handicap spaces who don't need them 3. Drivers who block the parking lot waiting for someone to pull out of a space 4. Parkers who pull too far forward and use two spaces |
Its the Villages accept move on
|
Traffic
People who drive too slow and then speed up when you try to pass them, or refuse to get out of the passing lane Group bike riders that think they are somehow special and own the road and don’t ride single file Cell phones |
those special people that 'live-park' in front of the entry at Publix and other stores blocking the cross walk while their passenger 'runs in for just one thing' :)

My peeve is people trying to be "nice" and let you turn across in front of them. They may be at a light that is green for them, or just plain in the middle of a somewhat busy road.
What they fail to understand is that they have broken the social construct and have introduced uncertainty into the situation. -Why are you stopping? you have the right of way. -Are you letting me go? -Should I go, is that a hand signal? If I wait too long, will you drive on and broadside me? -Are you going to move if someone behind you honks? -I can't see in your tinted windows, are you waving at me or chasing a bee in the cab? Don't do me any favors. When you have the right of way...GO. That's the kindest thing you can do for me. We all know our place and you doing what you are supposed to be doing means everything works as it should. |
Drivers who go to make a right hand turn and almost stop before they make the turn.

Impatient golf cart drivers
Drivers that stop on the highway to let people to enter the highway from an on-ramp. |
Running stops signs (4 way stops) (you have to stop before you’re in-line) and stopping at roundabout’s (when no traffic in roundabout) when you only have yield.
|
I saw this, and thought it was funny.
State Parks are for camping, the left lane is for passing. If you are not passing, please stay right. I actually don't care what lane you drive in but if someone rolls up behind you, can you please move over. Sometimes I speed up a little when passing to get back in the right lane and let faster traffic go. |

***Cart drivers who turn left directly from the cart lane, usually without a mechanical or hand signal, AKA suicidal ***Car drivers who merge onto a 3 lane interstate and proceed to go directly to the furthest left lane and lollygag at 55 mph. ***Cyclists who blow through stop or yield signs in a pack of 20 as though they are a single entity. You ride on the road---then you OBEY the rules of the road. I DON'T CARE if you have toe clips, or it is inconvenient, or it breaks up you social pack, or whatever the new law in Oregon happens to be (they're all nuts out there anyway), you should OBEY THE LAW or get ticketed ***Pedestrians who jump off the sidewalk in front of a 500# cart going 20 mph to avoid coming within 20 feet of another pedestrian for 1/2 second---AKA covidiots. Much safer to play chicken with motor vehicle:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl: And let me also quote Florida statute 316.130 sec 3----"(3) Where sidewalks are provided, no pedestrian shall, unless required by other circumstances, walk along and upon the portion of a roadway paved for vehicular traffic" Passing another pedestrian on the sidewalk, regardless of COVID, does not qualify as "other circumstances". A 60 foot deep sinkhole would. *** But especially, the car driver who posted on here several years ago that he/she PURPOSEFULLY drives 30 in the left lane of 466 which is posted at 45 because he/she feels that is "fast enough". The rest of us couldn't give a rats furry arse what YOU think, only what the law posted as the legal speed limit. >end of rant< |
Definitely people who stop when they have the right of way. Absolutely adds confusion to the situation and can cause an accident.
People who hold the cell phone to their ear or up against the steering wheel while they're driving. Car or golf cart, doesn't matter. People in golf carts with "street legal" signs on the back who cross 441. Especially the ones that aren't really street legal, they just have the sign saying they are. You know who you are. People in golf carts who go clockwise on the roundabout's golf cart path at the Morse/Paige circle. You didn't notice that you couldn't squeeze through on the right side of BOTH of those poles, and had to veer off to the side where golf carts would be coming toward you? People who drive 2 passengers next to them in golf carts, and none of them wearing seatbelts, especially when at least one of the passengers is a child. I feel horrible for the child. They're learning that stupidity is acceptable. Our future government officials, folks. The generation of imbeciles, brought to you by the imbeciles of the current generation. People in golf carts who take up a full handicapped space - anywhere. Those spaces are intended for cars. That's why they're wide enough for two golf carts. The very least you can do, is take up half the space so another golf cart can share it. Selfish pigs. |
Swing wide right or left to make a left or right turn....slow the eff down...move as far as you safely can to the side of the lane to which you are making a turn.
Oh...people who complain about this stuff. ;-0 |
Bumper riders

Actually, other drivers do not irritate me. I accept them as they are and have learned to deal with it.
To be honest, I honk at a LOT of people if they do not yield to me when I have the right-of-way. This often happens in roundabouts. |
I'm in: people who stop back 50 behind crosswalk at a stoplight, which does'nt trip the light sequence. I'll prob catch h..ll but here it goes, driving with HC placard on the mirror.

- People who drive like me. |
People who dont understand zipper merges and play traffic cop riding astride the line to prevent other cars from legally progressing.
|
People who have extremely darkened windows
People who don’t use turn signals People who change lanes in front of you in circles Bike riders that travel dead center of street lanes People who tailgate People who drive under 35 mph in The Villages People who drive with dogs on their laps Drivers who speed in the 35 mph areas People who come to a complete stop when they are about to turn People who cut you off for absolutely no reason whatsoever |

People who are in the outer lane of a roundabout, and proceed 270 degrees around it. Almost go tee-boned the other day by one of these "considerate" drivers.
|
People who don't realize we all live in a 55+ community where there are a lot of older drivers.
|
We are so old and cranky. This is a retirement community. If you want those things, then .over to the city. Enjoy life, relax, go with the flow, show some courtesy, and be kind.

1. Speeders in a residential area. The speed limit is 25, not 45.
2. It's a Handicapped Parking Spot, not a Handicapped Standing Spot. It's not there for you to enjoy the Town Square entertainment while you sit in your car, drive-in movie style. 3. I'm in no hurry, don't stop in a traffic circle to let me through when I'm driving my golf cart. Your car is going to be rear-ended, or worse. |
Getting halfway in the turning lane to turn left or not getting in the turning lane at all , sitting in the traffic lane waiting to turn left even though there is a turning lane. Seriously are there states or countries without turning lanes? Where do these people come from?
|
How about people who are too lazy to put that shopping cart away but will leave them in the parking lot or prop them up on a curb even when the return areas are less than 30 feet away. The height of "entitlement".
|
Forgetting to turn off your turn signal! The question is, "Did they forget, or are they going to turn." Also, some one blowing their horn at you for some reason. Does that mean I should stop or continue on and ignore you and your reason for blowing your d----n horn.

Life is too short !!!

I also wonder is you come to a complete stop at every stop sign. Complete means locking your breaks—not just going really slow. I wonder, too, if you use your turn signals properly by notifying others before you start to slow down and not just as you are rounding the corner or after you are already in the turn lane when everyone can see that you are turning. If you’re not like most people, and almost everyone violates those rules, then my hat’s off to you. You are a rare bird indeed. But you would still hate it if you got stuck behind a group of cyclists who came to complete stops and crossed the road just one at a time. Remember the old saying: “Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone.” |
1.Golf cart drivers with knees spread wide apart. Gender identity very noticeable, also Naked chests. Some things cannot be unseen and distractions.
2. Dogs leaping from golf carts or tethered running along side the vehicle. 3. The piggybacking cars through the gates! Use your card or finger please. I just might have to stop short for the rabbit. |

My peeve..
I can’t believe I read all of these and didn’t see my pet peeve! Over and Over, I have golf carts pull out right in front of me (while I’m driving a car), because they want to pass a bicycle in the cart lane! I have to slam on my brakes to avoid smashing into them. 😡
Husband said to add...people who drive in cars or carts with little dogs on their laps! |
Quote:
Obviously they are from out-of-state. LOL |
People who throw their cigarette butts out the window
Drivers that drive in the passing lane, holding up traffic happen 24/7 on 466 Drivers that drive right next to you side by side.....if you have to change lane quick you have no where to go People in parking lot just step off the curb, stupid crazy Drivers that enter the left turning lane every where except at the beginning Slow right hand turners Will never understand bicyclist that ride on fast busy roads when there are thousands of other places to ride Drivers that don’t understand your car has a horn for a reason 😂🤣😂🤣😂 |
