THIS! Or sitting in a turn lane, 3 cars back knowing 4 cars can get thru the light but one on the cars in front of you, allows a 10 car gap!

I am convinced that the "handicapped" tag or rearview hanger has to be for the mentally handicapped. In my experience, these drivers are far worse than "Asian woman driver".

75% of these in BR are from Wakanda

The other 25% are old white folks who live in Bocage

Going the speed limit or under just ti do a rolling stop at every stop sign.

Left lane riding or riding the right lane in the left lanes blind spot helping them box.

Slowing down to pass a school bus on the highway.

Changing lanes and not speeding up when there are faster cars approaching.


Making everyone behind you stop so you can feel good about yourself letting someone out.

People who do not put their headlights on when it's either foggy or raining or dusk/dawn. I realize not every car is up-to-date and has the auto headlight feature but damn if you can't see because of the fog or rain put your fricking lights on

Getting behind someone that cant make up their mind what speed they want to drive. Driving speed limit, slowing down now doing 40ish next thing you know they are pulling away, catch up to them, then going 45 again.

All that is true but after being in Qatar for 6 months....them frickers suck worse than the worst American drivers. I hated driving to Doha because if it's a 5 lane interstate watch out because theyll make that fricker 6 "bonus" lane road. Not to mention the Qataris never get traffic violations so they are always running red lights or speeding well higher than the speed limit.

Line of cars in the passing lane because someone is driving a mile above the limit ——> Jackass decides to get out of line, then pull up in the right lane and force his way two cars further up in the line.

When i am passing a car at 85 mph and someone flies up behind me doing 100 plus and gets feet from my rear end because I’m not passing fast enough. When we talk about narcissists, there’s a prime example of one. Your life and the lives of others mean absolutely nothing to that human. They are the only one that matters. Everyone else are just extras in a play entitled ME and everything ME.

People who block a parking lot entrance and wave me to go when I stop. No, buddy, you go. You’re right where I need to go.

You should be thanking this driver. The aggressive driver that goes around often wakes the numb nuts in the left lane blocking traffic and they get over (finally).

Up here in Massachusetts (and probably everywhere else), people are fond of leisurely pulling out in front of you at a stop sign when you are 50 feet or less from said intersection with the right of way.


I still remember the days of pulling up to a 4 way, people waved to each other, damn near got upset trying to give someone else the ROW.

Riding in the right lane with the cruise on about 73 coming up on john trucker who cant drive one speed. You change lanes to pass him and he starts increasing speed. At the same time an arse dragging Altima runs up on your bumper. Not wanting to punch it to 80 or above you hop back over to let tail dragger by with not much space left before you have to break speed. Altima suddenly decides he wants to drop speed and hover right off your side so you cant get back over. You break speed to 65 as the rolling skyscraper is in slow down mode again. After it all shakes out you finally get around BJ and the bear to find Altima doing below the speed limit now in the right lane so you pass them too. You set back up with cruise again. The Altima later passes you again.

1. Drivers who don’t get up to speed on the on ramp.
2. If you’re going to pull out in front of me at least step on the gas.

That’s when I accelerate to 100 mph and get well past the Altima.

By far and away it's habitual non-blinker users.


I may get some hate, but here we go. I don't often use a blinker? Why? Because far too often that changes people's driving behavior in a dangerous way. They will speed up to block a legitimate gap (not cutting them off) or speed up just to be an arse. In those instances, a blinker doesn't even cross my mind. Merging with no offramp in the distance? No blinker. TURNING LANE? No blinker. It should be very clear where im going. The only time I really use a blinker is when turning left on the highway. I don't need some jackass seeing me slowing down and thinking it's a good time to pass.

Bonus driving habits that piss me off but are less talked about: drivers that don't stop at or behind the white line when you are turning and drivers that cross the solid white line when there are multiple turning lanes. Those people need their front end ripped off and/or pit maneuvered into the ditch.

Hands down the worst: I-10 drivers who stay in left lane while cars are stacking up behind them cause they are going the same speed as traffic in the right lane. Then a string of cars pass on the right and they are oblivious, while holding their phone near their mouth using speaker phone.

It happened to me yesterday. We’re in traffic (not standstill bumper-to-bumper but slow moving). When moving like that you never know when you will come to a stop so I like to leave about a car length between me and the car in front of me. And here goes this a-hole who zips in that space so now I’m tailgating the shite out of him. For no apparent reason other than he’d rather travel 40.3 mph in my lane than 40.25 mph in his lane.

Also, when drivers do the lane zipping like that is what causes standstills momentarily. Because for a car to apply brakes, it causes a domino effect of applying brakes and that’s what ultimately causes standstills. So don’t do that.
