When people become a nuisance while on the road

The worst incident I ever witnessed was a motorcycle that was using my headlights to see where he was driving. He'd turn on his headlight when going through a city and turn them back off once outside the cities... It was dangerous and annoying. I couldn't see him when he shut off his headlights. I finally called and reported him. The police missed him when they came from the opposite direction so I called again and told dispatch that they'd passed the guy. The police turned around and came back. The motorcyclist took off and I lost sight of him but came across him a few kilometers further down the highway. The police had him pulled over and were giving him a sobriety test when I went past them. I hope they gave him a ticket for driving dangerously, at the least.

I get to work and my kids' schools by taking one of the state highways that goes through my town. The speed limit is 45mph (a bit over 72kph) but it used to be 55mph/88.5kph. They lowered it almost 20 years ago now, but everybody still drives like the speed limit is 55. One night I was driving home on that highway, doing 55 along with the rest of the traffic... and someone in a sports car came tearing up the shoulder from behind us doing at least 80. I didn't even have time to react before he blew past us on the right. So glad I wasn't turning right at the intersection I was approaching... the other driver was going so fast they would never have been able to react to that in time.

Some people on the road have no respect for themselves or anyone else.

I have stopped driving years ago. We do get blamed for accidents that are not our fault. I was in my brother's car and the car ahead slid down the slope at a traffic junction to hit our car. It was his fault but he blamed my brother.

There are so many problems with our traffic system- no law abiding riders/drivers, bad road planning and quality is so pathetic too!

Road rage is common on the roads I drive. Drunk driving as well. There is little consideration for other drivers. Most drivers are unhinged and angry. I stay off the roads as much as possible. People get driven off the roads by aggressive, murderous drivers all the time. Fatal car accidents are common here.

Glad you avoided the accident. Now days you have to watch out closely for the other drivers because there are so many BAD drivers! I have had that happen to me a few times.

Here the bus drivers are rash Once I told a driver that if he wants to die he can jump in a well but why he wants us to die? (lol)

I wish we had no cars..I have no car.

All the time here people turn on the one way street the wrong way and do not stop at stop signs.

sounds terrifying! It’s frustrating and dangerous when people drive so recklessly, especially on a busy highway. I’m glad you were able to react in time and avoid a collision

That sounds very dangerous. People on motorcycles/scooters/bicycles rarely come off well if they have an accident.

That sounds incredibly stressful and dangerous! It's frustrating when others' reckless actions put you at risk. I'm glad you were able to avoid a collision. It's definitely a common fear for many drivers. Dealing with such situations can be very unsettling.

as a pedestrain, i am always careful but yes, it's hard as a driver too; i felt it in the past. sorry. i'm glad you're safe.

I used to live in an area that had very cold winters. The roads would get icey and snowed up. Too often drivers drove way too fast and too many times did not pay attention about cars coming toward us. I am glad I do not have to cope with that kind of scary driving now.

Some people seem to have no regard for their own lives—like they think they're invincible. Worse, they put others at risk, even those who are driving responsibly.
