The Story

Hell is sharing the road with other drivers (but not you, though: you.

That’s you, of course. You, Jalopnik reader, are the blameless driver with clear eyes, a full heart and a clean driving record. You always use your turn signal, and you know damn well how to use the various lanes of traffic and execute a four-way stop, right?.

The more specific example is people who are in the wrong lane at an intersection and just sit there waiting to move over or just cut across multiple lanes to get to the lane they needed rather than just continue down the road, turn around, and go back they way they intended. I’ve even seen people backing up on interstates and in busy intersections because they missed their turn. Not sure if just a recent development, but I don’t remember seeing that years ago.

Jakub Sisulak/Shutterstock Living in an area with lots of twisting, 2-lane mountain roads, my biggest peeve is drivers who don’t use turnouts. Being stuck behind a semi, a motorhome or just a slow car blocking a chain of 10 cars or more is sooo frustrating. Even worse is when they get to a passing lane and speed up, making it hard for others to pass them!.

They are not confirmation lights, used to validate the action I can already see in progress. Jpreat/Shutterstock I think the top spot for me has to be people who stop short in traffic. Instead of rolling up to a reasonable distance to the car in front of them they stop with way too much distance, throwing everyone off behind them.

Trygve Finkelsen/Shutterstock Inability to use a highway ramp. Going 35-45mph on the on ramp the entire time and then trying to merge into 65mph traffic. It is not that difficult to increase your speed to match traffic, especially where I live. The majority of the ramps are nearly a quarter mile. Then on the equally long off ramps, immediately hit the brakes to slow down, and then back on the gas, instead of just coasting.

Why It Matters

The more specific example is people who are in the wrong lane at an intersection and just sit there waiting to move over or just cut across multiple lanes to get to the lane they needed rather than just continue down the road, turn around, and go back they way they intended.

CarMotion Daily’s Take

If the execution delivers, this is the kind of EV move competitors will have to answer.
