Other people's driving....

I hate when other people....

1-do not use a turn signal

2-go way under the speed limit, and you can't pass them, cuz the idiot in the other lane is going just as slow

3-people who gab on cell phones and don't pay attention to whats around them

4-when people pull out right in front of you, and there is not one car anywhere near behind you....grrrrrrrrr

5-then i have to slam on MY brakes cuz you just pulled out in front of me!

6-when people brake for absolutely no reason...and there is no one even in front of them to brake for....grrrrrrr

7-when people don't pay attention to the traffic light, and its green for a few seconds before they go....usually after you honk your horn at them to go!

8-when people stop right when the light turns yellow....then I have to slam my brakes on!

9-on the highway--when you need to merge onto the highway, and the person is still in the right lane, and no one is even close to them in the left lane, and they won't move over to let you on the highway!!!

10-when people cut in front of you then slam on their breaks!!!

Ok...these are just a few...what pet peeves do you have about other drivers?

Just wanted to add to #4 to say AFTER they pull out in front of you, they go like 15mph - HATE that

and to #9, those on the interstate who travel in the left lane (which is supposed to be for passing) going the speed limit or less and won't get over in the right lane so you can pass - they'll get a line of cars behind them (cause invariably there's a person going the same speed in the right lane), doing their best "sight seeing" act, mindless to the mile long traffic behind them. Finally, they'll increase their speed by like 1mph, just enough to get over in front of the other slow person, let the mile long traffic pass, then they are back over in the left lane. I think THIS is my greatest pet peeve as far as driving.

AND!!! when you are going 70 miles an hour down a major highway and you can't get into the passing lane because traffic is so heavy and you have this ding bat that is supposed to YEILD and they just keep coming onto the highway thinking that they own it and you have no place to go so......you either flip them off or beep the horn at them and they flip you off like it's your fault..WHAT THE HE** is wrong with these people!! Were they absent the day they were teaching what YEILD means!

I hate other drivers... I swear no one knows how to drive but ME! I can't even keep track of the number of times a day I get cut off or just about hit....

But I guess it's one of the problems with living in a larger city... I'll take the bad drivers over living in the middle of nowhere!

Your #3 is one I hate terribly. I think my biggest driving issue w/ others is seeing children NOT in car seats.

You can add one more to your list..as a school bus driver I hate it when they run my stop arm...you wouldn't believe how many do...are they that freak'n blind they can't see a big yellow bus with red lights flashing? If they can't see that, they should not be driving.
