Driving related Pet Peeves?? What are yours?

Soccer mom on the phone in her ginormous SUV, driving like a complete a-hole.

Not using a blinker & cutting me off.

Tailgating.

Driving well BELOW the speed limit just b/c there's a cop around.

Seeing a Bush/Cheney bumper sticker.

People who pass me in the left lane, then change lanes into the right lane in front of me, and slow down 5 mph slower than what I'm going - causing me to cancel cruise or brake. Love it! Makes me so happy, especially while they are on the cell phone.

My Pet Peeve is people driving in the left lane impeding traffic. If everyone just stayed as far right as possible and allowed the left most lanes be used for passing there would be a lot less traffic jams. I'm amazed when I travel to Europe that they can move twice as many vehicles on a 2 lane road then we can on a 6 lane highway (this "statistic" is of course a guesstimate).

Turn signals, or lack thereof. I think there is a law in RI AGAINST turn signals.....because no one uses them!

Also, it seems like no one knows how to merge properly anymore. They either just drive right on the highway like there's no one else there (or assume you'll get out of their way....my old truck was much better in that situation that the Prius...heh heh, just try and push me over Mr/Ms Sedan). Or they come to a complete stop on the ramp, nearly causing a chain rear-ending reaction.

I hate when drivers refuse to make a right turn when traffic is clear, and there is no sign saying "No turn on Red".

In Illinois a Right turn on Red is allowed unless there is a sign saying "No turn on Red"

Also, there are a lot of people that will not turn right on red when they sign says "No turn on Red, on school days when children are present". And even though there are NO children in sight and it is NOT a school day some dork will still sit there and wait for the green light to make their turn.

The weather approached 38°C (100°F) today in central California. I'm in my third year of driving a Prius and am very aware that the Prius does not idle. I am amazed when I park and walk to a store at the number of vehicles parked, locked and idling in parking lots! These are not hybrids. People cannot complain about air quality and fuel economy when they idle at stop signs and stop lights and while parked. Crazy.

A lady passed me the other day on I65 and she was eating chinese with chop sticks out of a carton. I couldn't eat chinese with chop sticks at a table and she was going down the interstate doing it.

Holy Crap!!, That is right up there with brushing your teeth while driving

OK, all of you that live in climates where we have snow, and lots of it,,

I hate it when people refuse to clean the snow off their car and just wipe away one little tiny circle on the back window and pull away from the parking lot and drive with the rest of their windows completely covered in snow.

What a bunch of Idiots!!! So GDamn lazy that they cannot do a couple more swipes with the brush and clean off the entire back window and the side windows so they can see and NOT hit anybody else.

It is bad enough that the weather is awful and visibility is reduced with a snow storm, but then the idiots get in their car and drive it away with it covered in snow..

Stay away from me in traffic, far far away!!!!!

The worst is tailgating .Especially on the freeway ,when its a huge truck that will kill you if theres an accident.
After 35 years ,Ive finally figured out that if I just keep slowing down they will eventually pass.
