Thread: What do other drivers do that annoy you on the road?

I hate when I'm driving at a decent pace and someone starts to tailgate me. There's a lane for them to pass, but they seem to want to try and make me go faster. They finally go around me, and get in front of me, and then they slow down. Really?

What is something that other drivers on the road do that make you shake your head?

There's a few things that drive me nuts.
-Not using turn signals, or activating them as a the driver turns.
-Driving in the left lane below the speed limit.
-Driving while on the phone, shaving, applying makeup or reading (magazines, newspaper, I even seen someone had propped a huge bible on the steering wheel and were reading it while driving on a highway). The phone thing drives me even more nuts when I see the driver still has a phone planted in their ear for over 10 minutes.
-Drivers who think that Fido belongs on their lap so they can stick their head out of the window, the fact that it interferes with operating the steering wheel or that Fido would become a de facto air bag in case of a collision escapes them.
-In the winter, clearing a small spot on the drivers side of the windshield, meantime all other windows and exterior rearview mirrors are covered in ice and or snow.
-Leaving the car idling for half an hour to warm it up in the winter, the car warms up much quicker when its being driven.
There's more, but that's about it for now, I feel my blood pressure rising

Haha, I can imagine how annoying it is to find another driver reading the Bible when driving. No offense, but being religious in "the wrong way" at the wrong time can be harmful to himself and the others.

Eeek, I hate tailgaters. I often purposely slow down depending on where I am just to lower the risk of them hitting me if I stop and to encourage them to just pass me already if possible.

I hate people who lurch out of driveways in front of me when I have the right of way, and then after being in SUCH a rush to get on the main road, drive ridiculously slow.

Hate tailgaters! Especially when I'm driving over the speed limit already! I also really can't stand really SLOW drivers on the road.
I also don't like people that drive too fast when it's cruddy out!

shaving?

I have a long list too, but it mostly boils down to idiots (same goes out of the car). I was brought up that a car is a luxury not a necessity (things change huh), but the post still remains that you need to treat it (and your driving) responsible. Its not just one person on the road and some idiot drivers tend to forget that.

I don't like drivers passing over me through the side road. What if there was a parked vehicle on the road side?

Creg is right that these drivers are idiots and they don't know how to drive well.

I am bad about getting annoyed at other drivers. I hate when they tailgate, they don't use their turn signals, they aren't paying attention to the road because they are talking on their phone, and people that cut you off.

I hate when other drivers put their blinker on at last minute to turn. I also hate when a person is driving way under the speed limit. I try to have patience, but it really annoys me.
