I'll add another one: 2 lane highway, sometimes in hilly/mountainous areas. One RV or just otherwise slow vehicle with a line of 5-10 cars behind them...and they won't just give the courtesy pullover to let the bottleneck pass (even in designated spots for such).

Another similar one: 2 lane highway, every 20 miles or whatever it goes to an additional lane on one side to allow passing (i.e. easing of the bottleneck). 2 variants:

a)the bad driver DOES NOT GET RIGHT IMMEDIATELY when the new lane emerges

b)the bad driver gets right but then proceeds to go 20mph faster than when it was just 2 lanes, making it much harder to actually pass them

Folks who have to swerve out the opposite way before turning, meaning, if they are in the left lane and turning left they first turn out right to take a bigger angle...IN TRAFFIC...INTO THE RIGHT LANE. Okay, I realize you may need to do this to pull into a parking place, but NOT while making a regular turn in traffic!!!

It's particularly aggravating to me as in my measly 1 mile drive home from work there is an intersection where this seems to happen daily.

I've had frickers I've been stuck behind for miles speed up to 80 fricking miles an hour, in a 55, trying to keep me behind at these things. They had been doing the speed limit or even less.

Want some road rage? That's how you cause road rage.
