What are your top 5 biggest pet peeves while driving?

Here's mine:
1. Left lane hoggers
2. People who Text and drive
3. Traffic cheaters
4. People who don't use their signals
5. People who roll through stop signs (it's the easiest thing in the world to do. It will cost you 1 second to stop. If there's a line at the 3 stop sign intersection and when I get to the line after you roll threw it when I got their first then you are one impatient driver)

I get it. We all get mad at drivers. I think people get mad at the car itself not the driver because we have a complete different set of values while driving. With glass and metal dividing us from eachother, there is nothing we will not say to one an other.

Everything you said.

I can handle some guy who is really aggressive, fast and pushes people out of the way. I use guys like that as a "Bandit" while I'm Cletus following behind.

It's the a-holes who drive too slow that get me. Also people that pass you and slow down, especially on the freeway.

The clown that gets next to you and paces you when you want to make a lane change.

The idiot who passes you then slows down then you have to pass him, then he speeds up passes you and slows down.
And the vehicles that try to pass another vehicle (especially uphill) and takes 5 or 6 miles to pass holding up a line of 20+ vehicles behind them..

#1 Drivers who do not realize I own the road.
#2 Drivers who do not know that because of #1 I always have the right of way.
#3 Drivers who do not know that if you tailgate me I WILL ONLY DRIVER SLOWER.
#4 Drivers who do not know that if you hit me while texting or talking on the phone you will die from post accident trama.
#5 Drivers who think #1-#4 belong to them.

How common red light runners are, especially at left turn signals. If I had a nickel for every time I've had to wait an extra few seconds because some pin heads turning left gun it through the intersection when the light turns red, I'd be a wealthy man.

I hate how it's so common. Many cities are putting cameras up now and enforcing them because the odds of an officer being at the light is very slim. Not many understand that if the light turns yellow, it does NOT mean you hit the gas pedal to the floor to beat the light. When it turns yellow you slow down and stop. It's the last warning until it turns red. People make a very easy concept into a very difficult one. Be patient and wait until it's your turn. Are you in a rush?

People who enter the freeway at 40 MPH and then take a half mile to get up to speed.
