Default Other People'* Annoying Driving Habits

Anyone want to list some crap other drivers do that just tick you off?

I got a few, basically because I noticed these all in one trip this morning . How about the lady who'* driving in fear, has both hands firmly on the wheel at like 35 mph, and she'* got her wipers on full blast, but it'* barely raining out.

The idiot who changes lanes about 300 feet before the two lanes merge into one, and he'* right back in the lane he started in.

And to top it all off this morning, I'm sitting in a left hand turning lane, we've got the green arrow, and the first car is just sitting there. Light turns to a yellow arrow and then they decide to make the turn, leaving the rest of us to wait for the next light cycle. UGHHH!

I think I should stay off the road for the rest of the day before I flip.

Folks yapping on cell phone while driving is REALLY starting to get on my nerves, because they usually drive like idiots!

Of course I am occasionally guilty of this too. But it still bothers me when other people (who can't handle driving AND talking) do it.

The one that really urks me are the "Left Lane Losers" or "LLL". UGH. Makes me nuts. They all just drive in the left lane to no avail. Then, when it'* time to exit, WATCH OUT!! They're cutting across 2 or 3 lanes of traffic to get off, and of course this is done with only 1/16 of a mile to spare!!!!!!!

I get irked by people that read while they are driving. Or the ones that don't do the speed limit and especially if they are in the passing lane and won't move.

I'm a two footed driver It'* just a level of skill.

I just hate lane mongers... and people that can't drive a straight line.

mmm...You'd think people living in Washington would get used to rain but nooo the SECOND a raindrop hits the windshield its 40mph time on the highway. I can understand a downpour but even the usual drizzle we get makes long drive. Its funny and infuriating at the same time.
