Ignorant drivers... what can we do??

Question:
is it me or are drivers nowadays ignorant? by this i mean, say for example, you want to pull out of a junction, and its busy, one way. the way your wanting to turn. the thing is, nothing is coming in the opposite direction, yet, non of the traffic on the other side of the road are waving or flashing you out. how hard is it to stop for a couple of seconds and let people pull out?! it takes no effort to do. i'm 25, and let people out, i'm also courteous (saying thanks if someone does let me out) just think, next time someone is waiting to pull out, just dab your brakes and do them a favour, cos its frustrating waitin there hours before someone lets you out.

I think it's just that people in general don't have any manners, consideration or awareness of other people. I'm a similar age to you and always try to let people out if I can.

I hear you! I try to let people out when I can. sometimes I just don't notice until it is too late ( oops) I think some people need to retake basic classes every 5 years especially what to do when a ambulance drives close by.

A Traffic Ticket (Los Angeles Area)?

sorry but thats the way of the road I'm sure that at some point you rushed by and didn't let a car pass when you could have. Everyone has there days when they want to be mean or nice. To bad those days conflict with each other.

Why do people drive so crazy?

some drivers are so..........jerky and stupid and in so much of a hurry these days that they cant even do something for somone else. bet they never think how they would want it to go down if they were the one waiting!!! bet they get mad when no one will let them out either!! but they never connect the 2, noooooo, that would to much brain power for the idiots!!

I agree with you

Why are the roads so terrible in some states?

Since you are a courteous driver let people do what they intend to do. You don't want to create road rage, which can result in violent situations. Just be patient & it will become your turn, I know the feeling I experience it all the time, but I ignore the idiots who should not be out there driving in the first place. There is no respect out there for the person who abides by the law. Sooner or later they get theirs, & they wonder what happened. You might try & roll your window down & ask can I come out in front of you.

what exactly is black ice?

You want to drive out here in Canada. I've no idea what they teach them (I'm a Brit), but they stick in the same lane despite how fast they're driving and will they budge over to let you out? Will they dappy dips! It's absolutely amazing how glued their eyes are to the front of their bonnets. Talk about tunnel vision, I don't think they realise there are other vehicles on the road, let alone make room for them.
They'll come from the outside lane and dawdle (and I mean dawdle!) across your front bumper, AND in front of the lorry in the lane next to you, to take a turning they should've prepared for a mile back!
Same with parking (and you should see the size of the parking spaces over here, they're massive). Reverse parking! I laugh my socks off watching them (men and women!). And don't get me started on their parallel parking! They wouldn't stand a chance in the UK, and on the Continent - forget it! But they are such lovely people that you have to smile! Bless!

In California, when you are driving how do you treat a yellow line on the roadway?

The traffic must be kept flowing on our roads,the highway code states this,so your example should be a good one to other drivers-to let people out and keep the traffic moving freely-it really doesn't take much,well done-keep it up! However,when some people pass their tests,it is a well known fact that the highway code goes out of the window,not needed any more.

has anyone gone to the los angeles auto show this weekend and is it worth going to today?

Those aren't ignorant drivers. They just know that if they let someone like you "out", you will drive below the speed limit and hold them up.

At what gas price would you start taking the train, the bus, ride a bike, or walk instead of driving your car?

If you are sitting at a junction for "hours", you should find an alternate route.

Where can I find out truck route directions to queens from NJ?

I know what you mean, it is frustrating and annoying, but on te other side of the coin if somebody stops to let you in, everybody else has to stop too, thats say 50 cars he's been really ignorant to in order to be polite to one. And if it's very busy that will create a bottleneck that could take 30minutes to clear. I agree wth both sides, there is no right or wrong answer to this, as it's equally frustrating if your stuck waiting for ages just for a gap in a seemingly never-ending queue of traffic.

Is there a specific tractor assigned to everyone which will pull out in front of you when late/ in a hurry ?

As to letting people out of junctions...why? I let you out at this junction, you let someone out at the next, they in turn let someone at the next, before I know it I'm getting no where fast.
