Worst driver habits

I can't stand it when people break out of no where and then put their turn signal on WHILE they are turning. Happens all the time to me and it

I can't stand it when you're waiting to make a right or left and the incoming traffic does not put their blinker on until they are at the turn.

Texting/on the phone/otherwise distracted.

For years we have made fun of women putting on makeup. "LOL guys, women drivers" and now us men, and women, have taken to distracted driving as if it were part of our normal daily routine.

In short, every time I see someone weaving around, changing speeds, almost failing to stop and notice that they are holding a phone, I would really just like to kill them.

People with slow reaction times when the light turns green. It's especially bad in my area. The light will turn green and people will sit there for a good 4-5 seconds before moving. I understand hesitating for a second or two just to make sure nobody's running the light from the other direction, but that's not what people here are doing. They're just plain absent minded and slow in the head. Like they're not even watching the light. I have a sneaking suspicion that rather than watch the light, drivers here like to rely on seeing the car next to them move forward to start moving themselves. But all too frequently, people with this mindset line up next to each other, so neither one moves. Until I lay on my horn.

OMG! My better half calls this every time we see somebody driving erratically, and he is usually correct

Folks in my area love to get into the left-hand lane and start to slow down for the turn 2 miles before they need to make the turn....all the while holding-up the traffic that is trying to pass.

Really! I'll add "People who don't move over for faster traffic and then brake-check you just because you want to pass."

They won't tailgate you if you get the hell out of the left lane.

I hate driving through an intersection with a green light only to get T-boned by someone running a red light. THAT'S aggravating

Yes! Even if I am doing 20 over, if someone comes up behind me I move over to let them pass at the first opportunity.

I can’t stand drivers with cars/trucks that have not been taken care of that when they push the gas to go there is a big black cloud of smoke.
