-
Passing me then slowing down
-
thinking of themselves as the almighty god of the road
-
It has to be distraction, the cell phone is the major offender.
-
I wish I could market a gun to shoot their car so it would be permanently marked as an idiot driver... That way, when they cut you off, you would look and say 'Oh OK just another idiot,' and not take it personally.
-
Not using turn-signals and driving too slow.
-
When they drive slowly side by side, taking up both lanes.
-
actually, i don't have much rage from the road now that i don't commute, but i do get a bit irked by those personalize license plates when i can't make any sense of them!
-
Pulling out in front of me, then driving slow and turning left, all within a 1/2 mile.
-
Leaving their clickers on.....argh!!
-
Not paying attention/chatting on the cellphone.
-
Staying in the fast lane (left lane) when they're not passing anyone. They do it a lot on the highway near us & it has caused accidents because it's hard to see which lane they're in when turning on to the highway (due to the curves in the road). Anyway, when driving in rural areas, keep right except to pass.
-
Passing on a hill or driving too fast on ice.

Too many to list! I work as a pizza delivery driver at the moment, and I've accumulated many pet peeves when it comes to other drivers on the road. Some of them are: NOT signaling when making a turn or changing lanes (what? are the other drivers just supposed to KNOW what you're going to do?) Slowing down to a crawl through green lights (I think people do this when they see a delivery person behind them) Stopping in intersections or blocking entrances and driveways where there are signs clearly posted that read "DO NOT BLOCK" Asking me for directions when I'm on delivery. I DON'T have time to stop and talk to you, and just because I drive around town for a living doesn't mean that I know every single street inside out. I know where I'M going because I have a map that tells me where to go. I don't know where you're going, I don't really care and NO you cannot use my map! =)

Driving too slow and not paying attention to the traffic lights.
-
Tail gate...........don't use directionals.........cut me off
-
They ignore "yield" signs and cut me off so I have to hit my brakes a lot.
-
Driving on the same stretch of road as me is enough with the abysmal driving standards where I live. The locals have no idea of lane discipline and the tourists seem to have generally left their brains at home.
-
Speed, cut me off, tailgate and not using a turn signal.
-
Cut me off then drive really slow or speed up when I'm trying to pass them!
-
Driving drunk; Not using turn signals; not moving over when being passed on the right (or left in some countries); Unsafe lane changes.
-
When a driver goes onto the shoulder to get around traffic and get in front of you in a long line of cars.
-
when i'm backing the bus up and someone has jumped in my parking spot as im reversing into it..
-
I hate kids with those big f*ckin mufflers that make loud noise on their crappy little honda civics
-
People on the cell phone!
-
The 16 year olds that think they are professional stunt drivers on the highway and swerve in and out of traffic when really they have no idea what they are doing and are putting my children's and everyone else on the road's lives in danger cause they're idiots
-
It's not one thing, it's that they have no idea what the rules of the road are. They do not know how to drive from a technical stand point and a common sense one either. I have a CDL license and was a bus driver. We have to know the road or we would not be able to do our jobs nor keep them. People constantly make mistakes that common sense dictates are wrong and the worse part is they do not care that they do and never correct them like talking on a cell phone.
-
They are too distracted at all times. Can't drive in their lanes, don't signal when turning or changing lanes, don't stop at stop signs or when making a right turn on a red light, no lights at night, passing on the right...
-
I can't stand someone who is multitasking while driving. Save the makeup application, eating, texting, etc for home or the office.
-
Cutting in front of you.
-
Turning in front of you when you have the right of way ...
-
When they are pulling off of the road such as to McDonalds and they don't get into the turning lane they block one lane of traffic until the coast is clear. I could so punch them in their a$$e$!!!
-
1. Coming from the farthest lane & cutting in front of me to make a turn. 2. Multitasking while driving; talking on their cell, eating, applying make-up. Drive already and pay attention to the road & your surroundings! +4
-
Not indicating, and not acknowledging you with a wave if you let them out at a junction or something.
-
fail to signal.
-
when i am waiting for a long time in a long line .. and a car come in front of me and get in the line
-
Parking badly!! I detest people who take up two parking spaces!!
-
Pulling out of a junction as you approach and then they do a Driving Miss Daisy. Failing to indicate. Young drivers who do donuts to show off to their friends. Sitting at traffic lights picking their nose and flicking it out the window. Still talking on a cell phone even though it was made illegal a few years ago.

indicating a turn after the lights have turned green

Well, I live in Taiwan, so...let me go over the given things that you will encounter during any given day... . People driving without using any signals or exterior lighting. People stopping for no reason. People swerving through traffic. . The fact that the majority of intersections have no traffic law at all - no lights, signs, nothing. The fact that when intersections have laws, people will ignore them, as you have... , People running red lights. People pulling U-turns at red lights. People pulling U-turns in the middle of 4-lane roads. People driving down major streets on the wrong side of the street. . Everyone parks on sidewalks; cars double and triple-park constantly, including blocking off a half-dozen scooters. . It's insane. But they also almost never use their horns.
