1. If you are pulling out from an adjacent street, don't wait until the last second and pull out in front of me and drive slower.

2. If you are lost, put down the cell phone while asking for directions because if you are driving into everyone else's lane, you obviously cannot multi-task.

3. Do you really need more than one parking spot?

Left lane idiots who sit there blocking others. Idiots who suddenly cut in front without signaling. Idiots still texting and not moving when the light turns green.

Such idiots need to have their licenses burned and their cars thrown into a compactor.

1) Merge on the highway slowly

2) Chatter into your cell phone and drive like an idiot

3) Tailgating drivers

1. Turning left too close to my approach
Poor judge of speed/distance
2. Merging onto frwy too slow.
Lazy people who just mosey down the ramp
without matching traffic flow speed, so you have to brake.
3. Passing and then slowing down in front of me.
If Im too slow for you, shouldnt the space
between us be widening after you blast around me??

A car, SUV or van that rides next to my big truck for miles (especially at night) just DRIVES ME NUTS. I don't know whethere the driver is impaired, texting/talking on the phone, about to show me something I may or may not want to see or about to hijack me. At night, it's even harder to determine what the driver is up to because you can't easily see into the interior.

Numbers 2 and 3 have already been covered by other posters; thanks!

Cutting me off, driving under the speed limit, or doing both of those.

the woman yesterday who sat in the left hand turn lane in front of me... when the lights turned green she didn't move because she was actually turning right ( there was a forward only lane between us and the right hand lane)...... AARRGGGHHHH I bibbed and swore loudly... well almost a whole sentence of swear words - forgetting people can hear you when you don't have the roof up on the car... man next to me highly amused made me giggle but my god I wanted to slap her stupid..... but seriously would it of killed her to turn left and do a u turn..... this came after several other stupid people had been driving in front of me in the space of about an hour....... one I can cope with but an hours worth.....

I did my three others earlier....

1. Tailgating.

2. Shooting out from behind me on the freeway to attempt to dart ahead and squeeze into the space that I left behind the car in front of me for safety reasons. (Risk your life to arrive 1.4 seconds earlier? Your life is not of much value is it?)

3. Driving slowly and obliviously in the fast lane while cars pile up behind them and then have to work through traffic to get around them.

Oh:

4. Pulling intot he right lane at a stop sign on a 4 lane road in order to try to get one car ahead on the green, but blocking anyone who can and wants to turn right from that lane. (and usually not getting ahead after all because the lead driver in the left lane sees what they did and speeds up out of the light to prevent it. ) Cant they at least pull to the far left side of the lane so that right turners can get around their selfish *****?

I'm frequently guilty of this despite doing 10+ over the speed limit in the left lane.
