Those dumbass adults who kept honking their horn at me in 8th grade when it was my turn to cross the street. Fuck you, guys.

Let's just put my situation like this- Most of the drivers I come across shouldn't have a license.

Can confirm. It rains so rarely here that nobody understands what to do when it does. I've seen a lot of people learn about hydroplaning the hard way.
The thing that bugs me the most is how everyone everywhere turns into a fucking idiot when a traffic light goes out.

Where I used to live, a lot of drivers didn't have a license.
Riding a motorbike in London is a great way of dialling your paranoia and hazard perception up to 11.

So many bad drivers in our town. We like to play a game when we see a bad driver swerving on the road. Is it a little old person to short and old to drive, a college girl on her phone, or a douche bag bro that thinks he's hot shit because daddy bought his car? So many douchey BMW drivers, but that's kind of a given. I've seen people stop and do U turns in the middle of the road, stop in the middle of the intersection because the got in the wrong turn lane and need to figure out how to switch, people with their blinker on for 3 miles. Also so many motorcycle riders that don't wear leathers or helmets while driving. It's kind of crazy.
One of the strangest wreaks we saw happened so fast. We had gone to the corner store for something and decided to get a quick car wash. In the time that we got the car wash a car had gotten flipped on its roof at the intersection that was right down the street. If we hadn't gotten that car wash we could have been in the middle of it. The weird thing was the other car wasn't that badly damaged. I still don't know what happened.

Probably because most people are fucking idiots at roundabouts and intersections with no traffic lights.
Let's not leave out the impatient, who just drive through pedistrian crossings like their nothing or do stop and look visibly mad as if someone was being murdered.

Ive only seen mini-roundabouts in Sacramento. I think if you put legit roundabouts in California there would be blood in the streets.

How about the people who need a half mile to prepare for a right turn, into a driveway or parking lot? First, you get the abrupt slowdown (no directional, obviously). They move to the right, but not so far as to appear that they're pulling over, and they're not going so slow that you think you should just pass them.
Then they turn on the directional right before the turn. Where they come almost to a complete stop, and hug the right side of the road. They go about halfway around the corner and come to almost a complete stop, with their ass still in the road, before finally rolling around the rest of the corner.
Then you get the opposite people who think to turn one way you first need to wildly swerve in the other direction first. Like all the way into the next lane.
I used to live in an apartment complex with speed bumps. There were a lot of people who, for reasons I cannot comprehend, would always go over them on the wrong side of the road. They'd be on the right, come up to the speed bump, cross over to the left to drive over it, then back to the right. Then repeat on the next one. Has anyone else witnessed this? Any idea why this happens?

I've seen a lot of people drive diagonally across them. I'm led to believe it's because they think it makes the bump less steep, or something. Regardless, it's a pain in the arse when some dipshit is blocking your side of the road because of a fucking speedbump.

I don't get why they build roundabouts in places which never had them. On the east coast they work because those places always had them. Then they build them elsewhere (because they apparently look nice and urban planners are hacks) and no one has a clue what to do with them.

I know that people like to say that my State has the worst drivers, but my Maryland. 695/495
I got broadsided on Christmas night, by a van that was just moving along except for the car that ran a stop sign, and the van careened off that car to broadside me. The van flipped over my car into a ditch.
Nobody was seriously hurt.
Then later years another idiot ran a stop sign and just missed an SUV where upon I t-boned them (driving a 1991 chevy camaro) I bent his entire car but only had a little front end damage.
The DC metro drivers are pretty bad, and you can run that up to 695 around Baltimore as also being bad.

I hate these dumbfucks who think they have to have 4 car lengths between them and the next car at a stoplight. I'm trying to get in the turning lane but can't because this dumb asshole won't pull up two feet. Then you honk and they get pissed off.

I remember when they put a roundabout out here near the local 7-11. For a few days nobody knew what the fuck to do, then they got the hang of it.

To be honest I'm still not entirely sure under what circumstances I'm supposed to move into the left lane on a roundabout. It's like... I merge into the right lane, I'm going to be exiting the roundabout quite soon, from the right lane... why merge twice in and out of the left lane? Is it just in case one of the exits backs up, so people can get to the other ones? But I seem to get honked at in roundabouts sometimes, so maybe I'm fucking up really bad.

You need to be able to see where the rear tires of the car in front of you touch the ground. That generally gives you just enough space to get out from behind them in an emergency, but anything much more than that is just you being an asshole.

I love this video. Saw it a while back and couldn't stop laughing. David Cross is hilarious. Watching these idiots get their asses kick is just so satisfying. The one at the border checkpoint makes me laugh the hardest. He's an international trucker, he knows what's required of him. The border agent is incredibly patient and is just trying to get him to say if he's American or not. It's a goofy ass rule/law but it's his job so I sympathize when people act like I'm making up rules when I have to enforce a goofy/retarded one.
Also, anyone else hate people who don't get the concept that when it's raining heavily that you have to reduce your speed? Like did they even pay attention in driver's ed at all? Hydroplaning is no joke. I had that happen to me a few months back and jumped a curb and luckily my car was fine and no one was injured but it was fucking scary. As soon as them tires squeal and you know you no longer have control is probably the scariest shit ever.

Ye that's my opinion too. Thankfully I own a truck and will jump the meridian. While flipping them off telling them they're a cocksmoke. But I'm the bad guy.

Don't be silly, you don't need to reduce your speed. It's your rate of acceleration and deceleration that suffer, so you've got to allow yourself more time to do them, but outside of emergency braking you should be absolutely fine to stop in an inch of water. If you have to hit the brakes so hard you'll hydroplane as part of a normal stop you are stopping too hard. So really all you have to do is allow yourself more spacing in case the guy in front of you comes to a sudden stop.
On the highway, as long as visibility is ok, you should be driving the speed limit regardless of how wet the road is. On sidestreets you do have to be a bit more careful cornering, but why are you slamming your brakes in the first place?
If you're gonna drive slow in the rain you better get out of the way.
