Let's make a list of unwritten rules of the road!

1. Cadillac drivers don't wear their seatbelts.

2. Acura TL (sorry I forgot the number) drivers are rude.

3. BMW Z3 drivers don't use their turn signals.

You are required to speed up if the person ahead of you in the next lane over signals that he wants to merge in front of you.

Punk kids with an Eclipse thinking they're in the fast and the furious when they drive. This stupid guy decides that he wants to do a burnout and then race me. But there was also a hot chick in an older eclipse. But she was long gone by the time my foot hit the gas.

Guys in big raised trucks need to drive like its a Ferrari and also don't need to signal.
People with horrible sounding systems need to bump very loud...one too many tweeters!
Drivers who speed and cut in and out of traffic on the freeway need to know that the same cars that are going slow and steady are still right behind them.
Tailgaters need to know that sooner or later I will be angry enough to slam on my brakes.

Don't ever try to drive up and pace along side another car. It's almost as rude as tailgating. Please only do it if you are trying to warn a driver of an emergency, such as a killer in that person's back seat.

Mercedes drivers have the right of way. Always. Says so in the manual. Turn signals are an optional accessory.

If you drive a minivan or an SUV you have the right to head into the middle of the intersection to wait for your left turn thus blocking the view and sometimes the sun from everyone else facing you...!!!!

My own rules:

If you don't clean the snow and ice off the roof of your minivan or suv and it flies off on the highway and hits my car....I have the right to stop you and beat the $hit out of you!!!

Minivans and SUV's should be made the slowest vehicles on the road so that only those who truly need them will buy them....!!

Can you see a pattern here people.....????

People in ML Benz's CAN'T drive for ****.

People in SUV's can't seem to understand the concept of not tailgating.

Old people suck.

56 on a 55mph highway does not warrent usage of the FAST lane.

if there are 2 lanes, stay in one.

If making a left, there is NO need to cut in front of someone goin straight when there is NO ONE BEHIND THEM FOR MILES!

Just because you have a M or AMG does not mean your a race car driver.

You probably won't beat a bike in a race in a car, expecially a Dodge Stratus (assbag)

Kids don't belong in the cargo area of your SUV looking out the rear window waving for 10 minutes.

Adjust your god damn headlights, don't need one pointing down and the other one pointing at the moon.

Left/Right turn only means Left/Right turn ONLY!

If your car is more expensive then the person you plan to cut off, don't.

Theres no need to write Honda accross your front window if you drive a Honda, we know.

ok thats all my anoyances, i think.

so true.. just step on the fckin gas!!! although i have been on the freeway when it was raining so hard they had police escorts swerving across all the lanes to slow people down.

but my rule:

If you own a very expensive, very fast exotic, you must always go 15 mph slower then the speed limit.

poeple over 60 and women should be banned from driving.

trucks have the right to stay in the right lane at all times whatever happens, and if they decide to get into the left lane, thier liceance has to be provoced.

if your breaks lights are not working, DO NOT GET ON THE HIGHWAY

if u have a problem with me not stopping completly on a stop sign, then go **** yourself.

1) People on the main road HAVE to yield to the people that want to turn off a sideroad. Seriously this adds 20 minutes to my morning commute cause EVERYONE feels the need to left all the cars off the sideroads. Its farily aggravating when youv'e been in traffic for 15 minutes and the SUV that just rolled up to the stop sign is already been let in.

2) As long as you cut someone off you can go as slow as you want, what are they gonna do, they're behind you.

3) If you have an automatic you MUST drive with 2 feet, just barly applying enough pressure to the brake to light up your brake lights.

4) As long as your turning off on the next road you can cut off anyone

5) Its absolutly nesessary to match the speed of the old guy doing 30, just so you know no one behind you will be speeding.

6) If you cut someone off and they end up right on your *** ITS THEY'RE FAULT.

7) SUV's are not made to go in the mud, they must also be washed daily

8) Blinkers are completely optional

9) People must wait exactly 45 seconds after the light turns green to begin moving.

10) Red lights just mean people could get in your way, so just watch for those dumbasses when you run it.

11) Theres no better time to fix your hair, while talking on a cell phone, and putting on makeup, than in the car.

12) Women + driving =

13) Its ok for SUV's and trucks to tailgate, afterall they all have 4 wheel brembo big disc brakes too with 4 piston calipers and 10" slotted rotors.

14) Old people + driving =

15) Old women + driving =
