My favorite is when semi-truck drivers convoy together without enough space to fit between them forcing you to pass 200' feet of rig or more at once.

Driving by a semi and look up and see he has a newspaper planted in the steering wheel.

Forcing you to pass? I always thought passing someone was a personal choice.

Are you for real? Obstructing traffic by driving bumper to bumper at speeds less than the flow of traffic is an azzhole move. I guess being from PG you've never had the pleasure of driving highway 63 in Ab.

Gravel truck driving losers that line up 3 wide on the Yellowhead and play who can accelerate the slowest while obstructing the rest of traffic the longest. Those are my favorite people by far.

That and the road policing citizens who purposely drive slowly in the passing ( of course just holding steady not passing) lane because they think in their self righteous minds that they have that god given right. If you want that job become a cop.

I've seen a motorcyclist texting in city traffic.

Least favorite thing is when people cut infront of you in the passing lane then drive slower than the vehicle they are 'passing' then give you the finger.

tailgating is the worst -- didn't they teach is that 2 seconds gap is the minimum? I see lots of idiots tailgating with...and no I am not exaggerating - a 0.2 second gap. This includes every vehicle type on the road.

This is all while driving semi.
Vehicles pulling out in front of me, when I'm only a couple hundred feet from an intersection.
Vehicles passing on a hill where there's a solid line. (When did they change the law? I thought solid line meant "do not pass" )
Vehicles passing when its extremely foggy out.

Was driving back thru bc last week and saw a mini van loaded with 6 or 7 little black kids all jumping around in the back playing with no seatbelts and the parents didn't even care

Car this morning swerving all over road like a drunk, I get beside car and lady is putting on her makeup and driving with her knee.

Being a trucker I've saw a lot of stupid on the road...

Something that shocked me was the time I saw a Sheep Dog sitting on the front of his owners dodge p/u truck,........... at highway speed. Saw they same dog on the same truck parked in front of the Moyie Pub another day.

Something stupid I see daily is girls with their feet on the dash, when that airbag goes off they will never walk again.

i get pleasure out of doing the speed limit and watching idiots in my mirror get all pissed off

Don't lie willy, I'm from there. If you're doing the speed speed limit you already are going 10km/hr faster than everyone else.

That's just toooo funny.

just seen a guy towing a flat deck tandem trailer with one wheel missing on the right side going 120 on the hwy. DOT seen him and pulled him over. I guess he figured 3 wheels was good enough.

He was on his coffee break, don't you read a paper on your break?

A few years ago, when I was still driving, I was hauling a 450 hoe back to Edmonton from North of Fort Mac on the 40 wheeler, Thursday afternoon, 12'-6" wide, steady traffic going North. Something in my ditch side mirror caught my eye, and it was a car passing me up the right hand side, his drivers side wheels were about the only thing on the road. I'm not gunna lie, I was really hoping for a sign or a set of guardrails to magically appear . Just can't cure stupid
