Let's talk drivers who need to be strangled with their own seat belts.

When I get to be lord high dictator of everything on earth one of my first decrees will be to declare that anyone who is behind this type of cretin at a traffic light and uses a garden hoe to chop up the driver of the vehicle in front of him who, being the second car in a left turn lane at a traffic light leaves about 50 feet of distance between himself and the car in front of him thereby leaving a gap big enough that the sensor at the light will read there being no traffic in that lane after the first car turns will turn yellow at such a time the numbnuts in front of you who caused this situation will get through the turning lane two seconds after the light turns red forcing you to wait for the light to go through an entire cycle again for no reason whatsoever save complete dumbassness of the driver in front of you. These instances will be considered to be justifiable homicide and the perpetrators will be rewarded with a National Service Medal and be declared national heroes.

Do you even punctuation, bro?

But to comment on the topic it’s even worse when it’s the first car at the light that doesn’t pull up far enough so the sensor thinks there’s no cars trying to turn left and you don’t even get an arrow. Usually after a couple of cycles they figure it out.

My driving pet peeve is being in a single lane when I wish to pass a series of cars. As we approach a passing lane, everyone that was going ten under the speed limit suddenly decides to go 75. The passing lane ends, then everyone goes back down to 50, and I'm stuck in the same position.

First car at the light texting and wasting precious time for the people behind them. Then they look up just in time to skate past the yellow light while everyone else has to wait for the next green light.
People who hang out going the speed limit in the left lane.
People who forget to turn off their blinker.
People who don’t turn off their brights as they pass you on a dark road.
People who pass you up on the interstate only to slow down as they get in front of you, and then you have to pass them up.
18 wheelers who ride side by side for 10 mins on the interstate while traffic piles up behind them because one is going 60 and the other is going 65.

People absolutely don’t GAF about driving with high beams on anymore. Back in the day everyone but a random d-bag would turn them off. I drive a lot before sunrise and it’s crazy the amount of cars now that drive with them on and don’t turn them off passing other cars.

its like frickin clockwork they do this shite
just as bad as the ones who do 70 on any concrete patch of road (i guess because their small brains think its the interstate) then slow down again.

People who brake check cars behind them in the left lane wanting to pass.
Yeah, let's intentionally try to cause an accident.

I've got one other one that makes me want to shoot lasers out of my eyes. There is an intersection on the route I take on my way to work and would like to take on my way home from work but I feel I would be killed eventually if I do. It is a cloverleaf with two of the on ramps being long gradually curved ramps where you can accelerate the whole time on them. One of these is the one I use on my way to work. But the other two are 270 degree ramps that make it impossible to do much over 30 until the very end of the ramp. One of these ramps is the one I would have to use if I went this route home from work. When you get to the end of it you have maybe two hundred yards tops to merge into another lane full of cars doing 5 to 10 mph above the posted speed limit of 70 mph then the lane you enter onto from becomes an off ramp to the other highway at the intersection. It is an absolute death trap during rush hour traffic which is exactly when I would be on it if I took it going home.
I will take it on weekends when there isn't as much traffic but even then there is always some idiot (said idiot being the only car on the road) who I will meet at just the exact worst time, who is going the exact speed to make it the hardest to move into the lane and who will not move into the wide open, no car in sight, passing lane that would allow me to merge without any hassle to either of us. Instead I have to do this do I step on it and try to merge in front of him and risk him plowing into me because he is doing twice the speed I am or do I slow down even more and trust he is going to get past me before the lane I am in turns back into an off ramp algorithm in my head.

You have obviously driven on FM 1960 between Dayton and Atascocita.

Etiquette question: center lane cruising. I set me cruise to five over. Am I required to move over to the right lane for faster traffic? Or, can I drive how I want and frick you if you have to pass me on the right?

People who stop at blinking yellow lights can be added to the list

Drive in the lane that is best suited to the
traffic conditions. On a two-lane freeway, use
the right lane for cruising and the left lane for
passing. When there are three or more lanes,
use the right lane if you are traveling at a
slower speed than traffic, the left lane for
passing, and the center lane for cruising.
And yes they can pass you on the right legally:
You may pass another vehicle on the right side
on a one-way street or on a roadway with two
or more lanes of traffic in each direction.

There's a whole lot I could contribute, but the one that absolutely gets me furious is the speed changer. It's the driver who drives with a technique as though he keeps his foot on the gas for 4 seconds, lets up. Foot down on the gas for 4 seconds, lets up. Over and over and over and over. And like somebody else said, then you try to pass them and I guess it hurts their feelings so they feel the need to speed up and get past you again and then get right back in front of you and do the same thing.

1. Idiots not going at least the speed limit on the interstate.
2. Idiots camping out in the left lane.
3. Idiots driving in traffic with their high beams on.
4. Idiots driving down the road on with their face in their phone.

Maybe we should be talking mental illness and road rage.
