Drivers that don't know what a brake pedal is for that proceed to rear-end me, causing me months of aggravation dealing with insurance companies that don't represent me, rental agencies that don't have vehicles to rent because they sold them all during wuhan, and body shops that cannot repair a damaged vehicle because they have hired illegitimate employees.

You are getting on, they are getting off. Your left blinker is on, their right blinker is on

Instead of slowing down and sliding behind you as you replace them, they speed up and pass you and merge in front of you then slow down causing you to slow down and struggle to merge at speed

I hate when a lane is coming to and end or there is an accident with a lane blocked and all these asshats try to skip ahead in the closing lane instead of lining up as soon as you see the problem.

This!

My wife is one of them. If you see her doing this, I get $10 from her for anyone who gives her middle finger.

People holding up traffic trying to turn left into an exit that is obviously an “exit-only”, right in front of a No Left Turn sign.

Happens daily on Old Perkins in front of Alexander’s.

I usually don’t get mad at simple mistakes unless it’s extremely dangerous. I understand that we all make mistakes.

It’s bad habits I hate.

1. When the person in front of you stops short, causing you to slam on your brakes. You’re looking at the whole line to get an idea on when to stop, then that person in front of you stops with 3 car lengths between him and the person in front of him.

2. Not turning right on red. Some people pull up to a red light and just relax or look at their phone, not remembering they can turn right on red.

3. cell phone use while driving

4. People that don’t understand “left turn yield on green”. If I’m turning right on a green, you better stop, because I’m not.

5. People that miss their turn and are too important to just drive ahead and make a u-turn. They have to stop in the travel lane with their blinker on, holding up dozens of drivers behind them.

Spin-off: the fast food drive-thru….get your shite together before you pull up to the speaker. We’ve all been to McDonald’s. The menu hasn’t changed much. Don’t stop 1car length behind the speaker to look at the menu.

People who slam the brakes or slow down when they see a cop WITH SOMEONE PULLED OVER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE WITH A CABLE OR CEMENT BARRIER SEPERATING DIRECTIONS OF TRAVEL.

My biggest pet peeve is people who make courteous moves when they have the right of way. If you have the right of way, do your effing job and go, and let me worry about me. Because if I go and you decide to go and hit me, I’m now at fault. Just follow the rules as they are written - don’t make up your own rules to be “courteous”.

People here in Jersey drive like shite. Blinkers are optional, excessive speeding is required, so is cutting you off. There is no such thing as yielding the right of way at a traffic circle, it's accelerate because frick you.

On Veterans the other day and a "person" entered Vets from a side street and cut across all 3 lanes to get the u-turn. Stops all kinds of traffic to get to that specific u-turn. It's not like there is another one a couple blocks away..

The drivers who just go brain dead when it comes to a traffic circle are the ones who raise my ire. Maneuvering a circle is so easy but……dem couyons!

This and dummies that come to a dead stop and wave an oncoming car with a blinker on to turn left in front of them. Rules of the road, follow them and it benefits all.

Coming to an almost complete stop before turning into a parking lot or driveway instead of just slowing down and turning

People who have to turn onto a major road and wait for a gap half mile long between cars to do it when they could have safely done it numerous times already so you end up waiting on them 10 minutes before they finally get the perfect moment. I usually get mad and gun it around them

I will sometimes call it the fast lane, but I realize it’s actually the passing lane. Luckily, at my new house I don’t need to drive on the interstate to get to and from work.

That guy in the passing lane talking on his cell phone…going back and forth between 55-65 mph. I can always spot that driving style when approaching, telling myself, “I bet that guy’s on his phone”. And he always is.
