Driving habits that drive your mad!
20 mile drive on the good 'ole I-5 everyday to work. I used to enjoy it but bad drivers are killing me! Here are a few things that drive me mad!
1) Drivers that don't think ahead. IE: drivers that stay in the exit or merge lanes until the very last moment and merge recklessly into traffic. 2) TAILGATERS! WHY TAILGATE!? (L.A. drivers exempt) 3) Driving slow in the fast lane! Chime in with yours. |

The phoenix area seems to have a lot of people who change lanes for no reason, and unexpectedly. I know it sounds weird, but those from here will probably know exactly what I mean.
I'll keep it at that since I could write a book about all the things drivers do that annoy me. |

1. Left lane slow movers. This really gets to me because these types seem glued in, they simply don't move out of the left lane until their exit forces them to. 2. I'm going to go slow until you try and pass me people. (Especially if you got in the right lane to go around them because they are in the left lane going slow) These two are my biggest issues.

1) People that drive around you really fast just to get in front of you and slow down to a speed SLOWER than you were going in the first place.
2) People that drive on the shoulder to get around you in bumper to bumper traffic. 3) People that merge into a lane slow as possible. 4) (AND THIS IS A BIG ONE FOR ME!) People that realize their about to miss their exit and without looking fly across 3 lanes to get to the off ramp, instead of saying "Damn, I'll get off at the next one." 5) People that don't look AT ALL before merging into another lane. 6) 16 year olds. They think their cars are indestructible and that they're race car drivers. 7) TAILGATERS! OMG!!! My sister refuses to stop tailgating, so I won't be in a car with her while she drives. 8) Tailgaters with road rage! <--- The ultimate bad driver. (Also my sister) 9) People who feather their brakes for no reason. They hit their brakes when they're doing a hair over the speed limit with NOBODY in front of them... AAAAAAHHHH!!! 10) People that pick their noses while they drive. It's nasty and I can't help but notice. Ick. 11) People that smoke, and throw their cigbutts out the window and it hits my car because I'm behind them. 12) People that don't let 18-wheelers in, and just sit next to them oblivious to the fact that the truck has had it's turn signals on for 2 minutes. 13) People that don't understand that lanes that end or are mandatory turns have a special break in the road lines. I mean, really. You've been driving HOW LONG? And you still haven't put this together? 14) People that don't wash their back window and I can't scan ahead through their windows. 15) Truck drivers that just HAVE to have the brightest freaking lights possible. Then they get stuck behind you in traffic and you're sitting there wishing your side mirrors would dim too. 16) People who forget their signals are on (likely because they don't use them enough) and drive for 30 minutes with them on. Then you come up on them, give them plenty of room to move in and they don't because you're supposed to know they got a memory like a sieve. 17) (I'm sure everyone hates this person) The guy that sits next to you in traffic with his windows down and his stereo cranked to 100% blasting the most god-aweful crap ever to ever grace the speakers of a stereo system that likely costs twice the value of the car. And rolling your windows up DOES NOT HELP! 18) Jerks that speed up in the lane next to you that you want to merge into just because you turned your turn signal on. (That schmuck should be lucky you even warn him that you're coming over, instead of trying to stop you from moving over.) 19) People that think if one car gets in front of them, they're going to notice a difference in the amount of time it takes for them to get to their destination. 20) People who txt on their phones while driving. Seriously, stop. Put your bluetooth on and freaking call them. It's cheaper and easier. Sorry. I hate a LOT of drivers and think most should lose their license before others lose their life.

Drivers in my area are notorious for pulling this crap.

Cruising in the passing lane.
Over-aggressive drivers. Yesterday I was passed by a WRX going at least 60 in a 35, weaving in and out of traffic. People who roll through stop signs. People who don't use their turn signals. Tailgaiting... especially if I'm doing the speed limit or above. People who don't brush the snow off their car before they drive.

Old people.... The ones that are completely oblivious to what is going on. They run red lights, don't go when it turns green, etc.
People that expect you to wait for them to turn left, just because they had a turn signal before. There are honestly at least 6 cars that go through after the signal ends! I hate truckers who drive like ********. They tailgate you even when there is traffic ahead of you, etc. YOU'RE DRIVING A TRUCK, NOT A FERRARI. Girls that drive like pubescent guys. Bitch, we all know you don't have that much testosterone. Stop putting on an act and drive like a normal human being. |

1. Oncoming traffic that doesn't get out of the way when I am overtaking a stationary vehicle in town, just because it's "their side of the road".
2. Old people. 3. Women*. 4. 'Drivers' who won't get out of my way, even when I'm flashing and honking at 130mph, right on their slowa** tails, just because they're jealous of me, or think that 130 is fast enough - Ha! 5. Pedestrians (except beautiful ones). 6. All Other vehicles. 7. Anyone else - especially people who won't race me off the lights ...and the ones who do. 8. People. 9. Policemen who pull me over for ridiculous reasons like 'speeding' just because they're jealous too. 10. People who pull up behind me at the lights, leap out of their cars, run up to me and smash their fists on my windscreens, shouting all the time for no reason. Why does everyone do that these days? *men too.

Houston is full of idiot(am I aloud to say that on here) drivers. Traffic the past few years has gotten almost to a stupifying level. Tail gaters, people do not even use blinkers in this city. Drivers e crazy. Automobiles makers can save some money and just leave off the blinker signal. haha
