People that don't use their blinkers.


People that don't have any brake lights.



Slow people.



People that clog the left lane on the interstate.

People that can't figure out if they want to drive really fast or really slow.

Truckers in general. They fly past you going down a hill, pull in front of you, then slow way down going up the hill so you have to move to the left again and get in front of them. Like a frigging game of cat and mouse. Hey, if you slow down just stay in one lane, we'll figure it out.

And like the OP stated, those that ride side by side with another truck because they want to save $.17 and not turn off cruise control. Frigging despise those selfish bastids.

LOL I feel better now.

People that get pissed and ride your arse in bumper-to-bumper traffic. Where the frick do you want me to go?

Open mouth breathers that are driving in the middle lane (usually of I 110), holding their cell phones above the steering wheel and texting while driving, oblivious to everything around them.

People who pull out in front of me and don't accelerate when there isn't a car behind me in sight.

Why are you ever in a position where you are in the left passing lane and have someone behind you with the ability to tailgate? You're the problem.

Never understood people who give a shite what cars BEHIND them are doing. If they hit you, it's on them, so why not just worry about what's in front of you. This spare brain power and focus may even allow you to speed up 10 mph and maintain the same level of safety you had at your tractor speed. Imagine that!

Merging on to the interstate as soon as the on ramp meets the interstate before they even thought about speeding up to merge speed. Essentially, all of I-12.

People that find it absolutely impossible to park between two white/yellow lines. I see more and more of this all the time. It's like they don't teach people how to park in driver's ed anymore.

• People who slow down to 10mph before they get in the turning lane.

• When someone is first in line at a red light, sees it turn green & slowly take their foot off the brake and slowly begin to accelerate.

People that drive in the lane designated for left turns or sit there trying to merge right into traffic. It's for LEFT turns.

People who move from the right lane to the left lane to allow faster (tailgating) drivers by. That's backwards a-hole!

People who come to a complete stop to make a right turn. There are a few times where this is ok if it's a strange angle, but mostly it's not

Agreed. Merging in general is a major problem for alot of drivers. People just don't know when, where or how to do it.

People stopping 3 car lengths back from the car in front of them at red lights and intersections, pull the frick up so more people can make the light or be in the turn lane.

When you have the green light but wait at the light to avoid blocking the intersection during rush hour traffic. Then someone with the red light takes a right and blocks the intersection.

People who take getting passed personally.

Happens every single day on I-12. I normally do around 75. Here's a car doing 68. I get in the left lane, get almost all the way past them and VROOM. Now we're next to each other doing the same speed.

If you are someone who does this,
Me passing you is not a reflection on your character. I do not think less of you for doing 68. You have nothing to prove to anyone on the interstate.

People that ride your arse in the left lane in town. The left lane is NOT the fast/passing lane.

Female democrats who don't know how to use cruise control on the highway. They go from 60 to 80 back to 60 depending how their phone conversation is going.
