Do you respect the rules of the road? 3

So ya, this is another post of mine about driving.
As the title says, Do you respect the rules of the road?
What I mean is, are you a good driver ?
Do you use your turning signal or do you slow down and turn without giving any warning to the driver behind you ?
Do you use the fast lane to pass a driver and then get back over? Or do you go slow in the fast lane and cause other drivers to get stuck behind you who are actually trying to get where they are going ?
Do you use a merge lane correctly ? Or do you come to a complete stop when there is a whole lane for you to turn into ?
Do you keep your brights on when another car is passing you ? Or do you use your brain ?
These are things that we all deal with everyday. So I guess I’m trying to find out , which one of you are part of the problem or who actually understands how driving works.
I spend a lot of time on the road so these are things I notice often. I know I’m missing a few things but I’m just trying to see who doesn’t respect the rules of the road.
And if I missed any unacceptable behavior. Please feel free to add.

I'm not great at driving, but I try to be a really good driver in terms of all that kind of stuff. I always use my blinkers, always keep a safe distance between me and the car in front of me, etc. In general I try to do everything the way its supposed to be done, mainly just because I'm not a great driver so I'm trying really hard to be safe and cautious in most situations to avoid accidents.
I generally avoid the fast lane unless I'm going seriously fast or passing, etc. I actually prefer the slow lane unless there's some guy going under the speed limit. I let people in the vast majority of the time if they're merging, or if someone wants into my lane I almost always slow down and let them in.
But if there's no one around, I absolutely do not come to a full and complete stop at a stop sign. I slow down a lot, but I just roll on through if there's no one around.
I do speed a bit, but just a regular amount on freeways and stuff like that. 10-15 over in a 65, that kind of thing.
Some people get annoyed at how cautious of a driver I am, but it's just because I'm not actually that great at it and I was in a number of accidents when I was young.

Well of course I do. Every ride without drugs is safe driving practice time for when I DO ride with drugs.

Absolutely.
The main reason is to avoid cops. The second main reason is i expect (or wish) other people would do that same. I hate to be "that guy" that does something reckless or stupid on the road. I try to avoid dangerous driving at all times.
Back in the day, when i used to drive without insurance to save money (dumb i know, rebel), i would drive very careful because i really wanted to avoid cops and car accidents in any way. So i was really careful. Nowadays, i drive careful just to avoid the annoying process of being pulled over by fuckin cops.
I also hardly use my brights at night. I find its easier to see without them 
When on the freeway, i always move over to let other faster cars past me. I like driving alone without feeling like someones following me on my ass. Tallgaters kinda piss me off a little.
Sometimes i imagine Im racing or Im in a car chase and will slow down fast in order to pull behind a car in their lane. Its pretty satisifying.
The only part Im not a good driver is using my Hazard lights. Mine are currently broken and I havent fix it at all. So i can never use them In those situations where i need to use my blinker, i use it as an alternative.

Nice post
+1
I drive semi truck for a living, so I have a lot of road time too. I think I logged about 120,000 -130,000 miles in my work truck last year. I see and work with a shitty side of humanity every day, it's incredible how many people are terrible drivers and really have no business being behind the wheel. Most people completely change for the worse once they get into a car. A lot of people think they're good drivers, but they're really not.
I get the impression that you're a good driver though, Big Worm

I'm not perfect, but I am a pretty courteous driver. Do I follow the law to a T? Nope. For instance, I never drive the speed limit when I have open road. I'm not the kind of driver who weaves in and out of lanes just to go 10mph faster though.
You know what really pisses me off? Especially when I'm pulling a trailer.. when I'm trying to get over say to the right and there's a car in the right lane trying to get over to the left but he's behind me.. instead of it slowing down just a little bit so we both have room to switch, they'll just keep driving a little bit faster than me and take a half of a mile to get ahead of me and then switch. If you do that, I instantly label you a cocksucker.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

Lol, yeah. For some reason people think where I turn on my turn signal, that's a sign for them to speed up and drive right next to my tandems. It's frustrating, I'll usually start veering my trailer towards the lane I want and riding the line when they do that and that gets their attention and they back off.

I always obey the rules of the road and proper etiquette. I get annoyed by little things like people trusting their mirrors and not physically looking back to check their blindspots. I delivered car parts to dealerships for 7-8 years so racked up the mileage, got hit over 13 times by shit drivers and usually 2-3 mechanics at shops would die a year due to being stupid with project cars or things like being cut off into oncoming traffic. Driving is dangerous so you have to obey the rules and not do stupid goddamn things like texting. I can’t stand people who dick with their phone while driving, pisses me right off..

Do you respect the rules of the road? Yes and I think that because I do, and often feel I am the only one on the road doing so,I suffer from road rage behind the wheel.
What I mean is, are you a good driver ? Good road behavior, loose cannon in my mind
Do you use your turning signal or do you slow down and turn without giving any warning to the driver behind you ? I find that I use my blinker too much, even when turning into driveways
Do you use the fast lane to pass a driver and then get back over? Indeed. Keeps The Law at bay.
Or do you go slow in the fast lane and cause other drivers to get stuck behind you who are actually trying to get where they are going ? It's drivers like this that make me want to own a cross bow pistol with laser sight to shoot a sharp metal object into one of their rear tires
Do you use a merge lane correctly ? Affirmative. And I'm not one of those fuqwads that skips the line and races on to the last possible point to merge into the lane. I know one day that I will be killed by someone who I will not let in that does this to me.
Or do you come to a complete stop when there is a whole lane for you to turn into ? KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL
Do you keep your brights on when another car is passing you ? Only when I am involved in a gang initiation
Or do you use your brain ? Only until my penis takes control of my thought processes

Yes, very respectful and courteous driver here. Sometimes I'll block a person if they come up on me and are acting foolish, but that could cause a wreck, so I very rarely do that these days. I learned to drive at 11yo, so I'm a pretty good driver. Standard, big trucks/moving vans (not a semi rig though), and all kinds of vehicle sizes. I actually love driving. I had to learn patience when in traffic, and I've never been a road rager, but I will cuss a person at times, but not so much these days. The car I have now slows down automatically when it gets a certain distance from the car in front of me while I have cruise on, it's amazing!

I enjoy crashing into oncoming traffic. But I don't do it. I put rules of the road ahead of my selfish needs.

When I get rich and peculiar, I want to own a secondary car, an old Buick perhaps, just to crash into self-absorbed, entitled, "fuck-all" drivers. The personal justice that would wash over me would be heavenly.
*ponders this notion*
Naw, perhaps not. That would just make me a self-absorbed, entitled, "fuck-all" driver.
