What car-related infraction annoys you the most? (car audio, lane, right turn)

[tvdxer]

Personally I can't stand people flying up to stop signs and people not going right away when the light turns green (though I make this mistake occasionally), but most of these things annoy me to some extent.

I hate the car audio systems most. Most of the other things fall into the category of, well, you screw up, you're paying for the damage. The trend towards louder and louder bass has got to stop. It's just totally and utterly stupid.

Turn signals. They're not that hard to use...

The most irritating and dangerous is the people who drive 10+ over the speed limit.

By a wide margin: People in the driver's seat in a moving automobile who are doing non-driving-related activities such as reading, dialing, texting, being wrapped up in a celphone conversation with the itty bitty cel cradled between their sideways head and shoulder, eating, slapping their poorly-reared children, etc.

But one thing I can't stand is people who have to slow from 45 mph to 2 or 3 mph to make a right turn into a shopping center or street.

Another thing is people who cut the corner when turning left into my apartment complex. SQUARE UP you idiots! Slow down, make a SHARP left turn, and use your own part of the driveway! I've almost been clipped numerous times while waiting to exit because someone makes a lazy left into the complex. Next time I'm just going to turn around and follow them home and explain why they're a royal @sshat.

Anything that is dangerous to other people.

I dislike listening to everyone else’s music on their audio systems from my car that could be five or six vehicles away from theirs. And also seeing others talking on their cell phones drives me nuts. If they could only learn to: fold a roadmap, talk on the cell, adjust the radio, put on makeup, pick their nose, drink their coffee, eat their hamburger and fries, text emails on the pc beside them, and still pay attention to their driving I would be happy, but they just seem to need and want to do it all at the same time.

I see this all the time. When did this become the norm? At an intersection in my neighborhood, I had some woman nearly take my front end of my car off during her left hand turn. I blew the horn and she just looked at me like I was stupid. I didn't hesitate to turn the car around to tell her what I thought of her driving. If I remember correctly, as I followed her, she didn't go around the turning circle properly either... she took a left to do a U turn... argh!!

My newest pet peeve is people passing others to go thru an intersection. I was coming up to a major busy intersection and the light went to caution before I got to it. The idiot behind me decided he didn't want to stop so he passed me on the right (this was only one lane btw) and floored it thru the intersection. I saw something even worse today at the same intersection. 2 lanes to turn left, one to go straight and one to go right. Another idiot was in the lane that is suppose to turn right, cut off a car right before the median and then turned left from the lane that is suppose to go straight... So you can imagine 3 cars turning left into 2 lanes!!!!!!

Hmm thinking back to the past 2 days... also saw someone turn left on red in front of me. Had a guy pass me in a no passing zone on a curve. What's the hurry folks?!?!

Disturbing the peace. The people who play such loud music with incredible base do not know what damage they are doing to their ears. The high rate of decibels will affect their hearing later on in their lives.

As far as the poll question "What one of the following driving-related annoyances annoys you the most?" If there is an "all of the above" selection, I would choose that because Oklahoma drivers CAN NOT DRIVE, period!
