The Passing Pussy: Two lane highway, rides your arse but won't pass on a three mile straightaway with no cars coming, continues to ride your arse

The Curve Coward: Two lane highway, goes 20 mph on a 40 mph curve, then guns it up to 65 (in a 55) when the road is straight (making it tough for you to pass)

Drivers who won't turn off the highway until they are going 2 mph.

You're going 60, car passes you, then proceeds to go 58

Tractor in road gear on the highway, won't pull off the road even as dozens of cars line up behind him.

State trooper on the other side of I 49 with someone pulled over, cars on my side slow to 60-65. What the frick is he going to do ... jump in the car, cross the media and come after us?

I-20: 18 wheeler passing another with almost no difference in speed so it takes 5 minutes to make the pass.

Two lane highway with long straightaway, car in front goes anywhere from 45 to 65. Gas-brake-gas-brake-gas-brake ...

All of that. Every trip. Except my last one the erratic speed guy was 55 to 95.

The worst. Sends me into a fit of road rage Everytime.
I have further noted that this feature of driving is a requirement when you have a handicap license plate.

You should really try relaxing more while driving.

He’ll get on the radio and call some other nerd who’s gonna find you and shoot your tires out. Happened to a guy I went to high school with.

The assholes that fly down the shoulder when traffic is stopped.

The 18 wheeler driver that drives like a pissed off teenager in a Corrolla.

The perpetual left lane driver who drives the speed limit and won't get over for Jesus

Set cruise control to speed limit in right lane. a-hole HAS to pass me only to go slower than me. I get in left lane, pass him then proceed to put CC on again. The cycle continues for the next hour.

Trashy redneckes with lifted trucks, unadjusted highlights, using replacement bulbs with 6 trillion candle power.

They should be arrested. Or shot on site. I'm good with either one.

I hate when people pull up to a red light extremely slowly. Just get to your spot in line and stop so I can relax for a moment.

All our highways are 7 lanes.... Until they narrow to 2....for widening projects...... Only happens every 3 miles.... We all love each other.

Amen!
It's like they don't know they have a cruise control. Set and forget it!
Do they even make cars without CC nowadays?

You don't want to cross the media baw. They will write all kinds of bad stuff about you. You should pamper them and tell them how important they are.

If someone is riding my arse and I know they have no clue about why the flow of traffic is in its current situation, when that reason is over (like a slow car 4 ahead finally gets in the right lane) I will speed up and pass the whole row of cars I was behind and quickly merge right.

I do it to show how to drive like a dick and that we can all drive like a dick, but we choose not to and it is the impatient a-hole driver that drove this way. I doubt they catch on.

Driving on the right lane on an interstate going close the the speed limit and person is doing 20mph faster passes me, pulls over to the right lane, slows down only to exit 100' in front of me.

You couldn't wait 5 seconds and just stay behind me before exiting.

You’re a good American for noticing the obvious idiocracy, but I see this every single day. It simply cannot be overstated just how stupid and inconsiderate many drivers are on the roads these days. They drive like they have play dough for brains. Of course, I live in the BRoken, so there’s that.
