Also, and this wasn't on the list, the so-called rubberneckers, or curiousity seekers, that slow down to a crawl and slow down everyone else behind them when they see flashing lights on the side of the road, even for something minor like a routine traffic stop.
#1 distracted or impared driving
#2 people who don't realize the roads are public and driving is probably the only "life or death" thing they'll really ever do on a regular basis, aka, the core of the driving problem in the US
-others-
people who cut into the safe following distances i allow (very common practice)
people who act like riding your bumper will somehow make the line of 5-10 cars in front of you speed up
people who nearly stop to turn right (often not signaling) even when it's a gradual right turn with no elevation change
people who try to "race" me on the street (very common, also very sad)
line cutting
overuse of brakes (leads to many problems) becuase it seems most people have no idea how to judge distance, follow safely and slow down by simply decreasing the amount of throttle applied
That's an easy one: people.
If I could just have my own damn road i'd be much happier.
A F'in MEN!!!!!
It's not me I worry about on the road, it's those other yeaywhos that annoy me, lol!
My personal peeve though? tailgating, creeping in the go-go fast lane, and treating motorcycles poorly (aka, trying to cut them off, following too closely, weaving into their lane, etc...)

Amen.
Half the drivers I see have a phone plastered to their ear, arm on the window ledge, just as relaxed as can be.
So many people appear to have absolutely no idea that driving a vehicle is quite different from sitting on a couch watching American Idiot.
The right lane on I-95 in Virginia is the faster lane. I drive an Avalanche. For some reason people need to tailgate me in any lane (and any type of road). Last night on the way home, the only way I knew someone was tailgating me is when my brake lights reflected off thier roof. But here's my question? Why do some drivers come to a complete stop, then make a turn and as they complete thier turn they signal??
General cluelessness, low skill level, "multitasking" to include reading, applying makeup, tailgating, idiotic lane changes, people who try to "sneak" across an intersection by getting halfway out and blocking traffic....All the stuff I never see in Europe...
Road ragers- who need to take an anger management class or two. They are as nutty as the people who can't drive-imo.
I love it when a road-rager rides my bumper. I make sure to slow way down and there's no way I let them pass me. I laugh when I see their head shake from all the swearing and anger. I am usually 10mph over the limit. But I don't let anybody ride my bumper.
