Oh I see it all while we are driving to appointments and errands. Mainly people on cellphones with one hand while trying to drive with the other. I find it to be 20 to 40 yr olds and mostly women! We have laws here about it too but I guess its hard to enforce.

But anyway, I don't understand WHY anyone has to talk on the phone every second of the day! Also when my husband and I are grocery shopping there are always people blabbing on phones in the aisles. Well theyre on cells everywhere. My husband and I just look at each other and shake our heads when we see what we call zombies on their phones..lol.

Yes, we thought the guy was deceased. Or unconscious. Anyway, he thanked us for our concern.

Ugh. I see craziness every day on the interstate while traveling to work.

One of the scariest was when a road worker, (you know the ones who always have signs telling motorists to be careful and slow down and respect road workers??), ran out from the median to the far side of the left (passing) lane to put a cone down right in front of an approaching 18 wheeler!!! I kid you not. What the heck was that guy thinking???

The poor tractor trailer driver slammed on his breaks and started to jackknife. I was behind him and was shocked that he was able to regain control of his rig and straighten it out. If he'd have hit that guy going 65, that stupid worker would've been toast. Idiot.

I see them all the time and get so tired of it. I hate driving anymore. They pull out in front of you without looking or pull our in front of you and drive like a turtle.

People don't seem to know what a turn signal is and another thing here in Ga. we have no state inspection so I get behind cars with no break lights which is really scary. Also saw one car one day with no hood and a van close to night with no grill or headlights on front of their car. I don't know what they did when the sun went down.

I almost expect elderly drivers to pull out into traffic without awareness of how fast the traffic is coming at them but what infuriates me is when a driver maintains a below speed limit speed as if they have all the time in the world and there is no way to get around them. A line of a dozen cars can accumulate behind and they are oblivious. Want to go slow? Fine, pull over to let others by then putter on down the road.

^That is annoying. I don't see why people don't pull over and let people pass.

I hate it when people wait til the very last second and then they cut in front of you to get on the exit lane.

I live in SW Florida and honestly, between the youngsters driving while using their phones and the old people who are scared to death to move and go 20 MPH in the fast lane it is pretty dangerous down here during the season. My driving pet peeve is drivers who do not yield to the cars on the highway when they are on the entry ramps. They get up to speed on those ramps - despite that they are clearly marked 30 MPH and yield or merge - they just come flying on to the highway and if you have the misfortune to be in that lane - too bad for you. You'll either have to drive off onto the berm or hit them - because they are going no matter what.
