I started a thread on this subject about 1 1/2 -2 years ago, I figured I need to revisit these things that bother me! I feel like I am the only person who still signals my turning intentions! Now I don't need you to signal me your turning left when your already in the turning lane, I can figure it out! Also, I live in a private house and have a driveway. Now I never backup fast, I look both ways and back off slowly. I can't tell you how many times someone comes speeding around from the corner, mind you I'm a bit into the street, and swerves around me! They can't wait one freaking minute for me to pull off my driveway completely! And don't get me started on people coming from the other direction who turn right in front of you, even though there is no one else behind me! Also the person who can't wait to cut in front of me, goes SO SLOW, makes the light, and leaves me behind for the red light! Gee, I feel so much better!

The thing that irks me the most are people who poke along well below the speed limit holding up a line of cars behind them.  They of course don't have the good manners to pull over and let people pass.

1. CELL PHONES

 

2. People who tailgate

 

3. People who drive at maximum warp

 

4. People who drive with their high beams on. They are blinding!

 

5. People who turn on to a street from the middle lane.

 

6. People who don't turn on their headlights at dusk.

People who come to a complete STOP and look around when turning from an open highway onto a secondary

Those that don't turn on the signal light til they actually turn...or worse yet, not at all...

 

Those that text and or talk on the phone...for example, obviously not paying attention when they are still sitting at the light after it changes...

 

Those that use a handicapped parking space when they don't have the permit...especially the young folks who are quite able to walk longer distances to get into the store/retailer/etc...

@Jordan2  Are you saying that you back out of your driveway onto the street?  I am just curious, we aren't allowed to do that in our state (though a lot of people do so and I understand why they do so).

People that have a red light and turn right on Red, while the other side has a left green arrow. Then they drive under the speed limit. People that don't know how to drive in a round about. People that talk on their cell phones or better yet, text while they drive.

@Allegheny, I live in New York. We are allowed to back off our driveways into the street. I'm curious, how do you get off your driveway?

When people are seemingly so angry about something that they endanger the lives of people by squealing their tires as they weave in and out, nearly hitting people and acting like they don't care who they may hurt including their selfish selves.

@Allegheny  How do you get out of your driveway?  Every place I ever lived people back out of their driveways.
