Ill Name a few pet peeves
1. People who cannot maintain a regular speed, like speeding up and then slowing down and speeding up and slowing down it drives me crazy.
2. People who slam on their brakes whenever they see a cop on the side of the hwy, By the time you have seen him its too late to brake he has your speed and you only look more guilty when slamming your brakes.
3. Rubberneckers we have all seen people pulled over before or even accidents why do u need to slow down to crawl to be nosy.
4. People who don't use proper Stop sign procedure.
5. Texting and driving and or anything phone related while driving.
6. Under the speed limit drivers no matter what lane just go the speed limit and im happy.

• Driving in the left lane and going slow (hogging the left lane)
• Not allowing others to pass you (playing games)
• Texting while driving
• Talking on the phone while driving (hands free or otherwise)
• Not merging properly
• Hitting brakes for no good reason
• Get in front of me and continue to drive slow (cutting me off and slowing down)
• People who don't yield when merging onto the highway
• People who drive too slow.
• People who drive way too slow because of a little rain or snow.
• People who cannot maintain a regular speed, like speeding up and then slowing down and speeding up and slowing down

I drive long haul 120 miles a day through some of the worst traffic in the country. If I sat a couple of days and thought about it I could come up with more. But, I think most are covered in this thread.

People that dont LET others merge into traffic when they can........i think ppl do it because they are trying to prove a point about law or something. If we could all just play together nice traffic problems would go down substantially.

Trafffic problems are a result of ppl not being able to play nice, not always road design (i do road design)....me me me me is all they are about. The ppl that dont give a little room for a merge are the same ones that speed up to construction and get over at last minute. Which is the ONLY reason there is a back up for a const. zone, because ppl cant play nice. Thats why the truckers "block" lanes....to help the OVERALL flow of traffic. I too will join this blocking of lanes.

dont rant ....sorry

My wife refuses to drive whenever we go somewhere, but then constantly wants to tell me that I'm doing something wrong. I go the way I want to the store, she says the other way is faster. If I go the other way she askes me why I went that way when I always go the other way. Or she'll ask me why I'm using the exspress lane when it's not rush hour and when I don't take it and theres a jam up because of construction or an accident she likes to tell me I should have taken the express lane. I have taken to replying with, "You had the F'ing option of driving, so shut up."



I might add we've only been married 4 months.

Something I learned from my dad many years ago.......

Yes Dear....

You're agreeing with them (when you just know there's no point in arguing with them), but then it just seems to piss them off even more.

Yup, tried that too. It didn't work. So now I go with "shut up." Pisses her off just the same, but makes me feel better at least.

2 second yellow signal lights.

[Lawdog1911]

Mine are:

Slow drivers on the phone or texting.

Drivers who don't move over to Emergency Vehicles.

Drivers who pass you when you pull over for Emergency Vehicle and don't let you back in.

[mikeyg36]

I'll say it again because it pisses me off so much; drivers going the speed limit in the left lane. Seriously, MOVE THE **** OVER! Had run ins with 4 people going 65 in the left lane on I95 coming back from a meet yesterday. 3 of them moved over when I flashed my high beams, but one guy wanted to play cop for the day. Dropped into 3rd and blew him away. If you're not courteous to me I'm not going to be courteous to you, simple as that.

Ppl who drive with one turn signal n dont shut it off after using it.

[13lstuner]

When everyone in the turning lane(turning left) at an intersection believe it is THEIR RIGHT to turn regardless of whether the light is red or not. Then when I do not intentionally run a red light everyone behind me honks their horns and almost rear ends me. I know that AS SOON as I run a redlight the cops spidey sense will make him come get me...

Also, everything else in this thread.

[Chevy 91z28]

I have to agree with you
