Yep, and most of them drive slower than you were and turn again shortly thereafter.

They get my horn.

Amen, old folks and country folk don’t do roundabouts well. Old country folk are a nightmare to be roundabouts at a roundabout.

Friend of mine got in a minor accident a few months ago because the person in front of her in the circle stopped to let someone out, then the person behind the one that got let out drove out into the circle, causing a crash with my friend, because she “thought it was her turn”. People don’t seem to understand that their “being helpful” causes way more problems than it solves.

I-10 at Siegen heading South on Siegen.

The turning lane for traffic headed to NO backs up, cars wanting to make the turn to NO stop in the through lane hoping someone in the jam packed turning lane lets them over.

They inevitably stay there blocking through traffic until an opening finally develops.

Is it a four lane highway, with you on the inside, and plenty of room/time to move over to let someone in?

If so, I'm pulling out in front of you.

This is an easy and common courtesy that is almost never done.

What is irritating for someone to zoom around you only to immediately brake for a turn.

Being courteous is not a law. Don’t be ignorant and pull in front of oncoming traffic without ample time to speed up.

The left lane is a passing lane, not a driving miss daisy lane.

If it doesn’t inconvenience me or anyone else I’ll let someone in only if I know they’re going in the same direction as me. If it’s someone trying to cross 6 lanes of traffic to make a left and expecting everyone to stop to let them through they can sit there all day.

People that pull out in front of you when there’s no one behind you, and proceed to drive under the speed limit or make a turn within a 1/4 mile.

You couldn’t wait 2 more seconds to let me pass so you could slow drive and not affect anyone?


People who don’t go when the light turns green.
Other people also want to make it through the light.

People who zig zag through traffic and cut between gaps that are just barely big enough like it’s a racetrack.

People who blow through a blinking red light or come to a full stop for a blinking yellow light.

Waiting in line at a red light in the right turn lane that’s designated right turn only lane and the person at the front is trying to merge left when the light changes green. Just turn right and reroute it ain’t hard to figure out.

Today’s pet peeve: fricktard passing a cyclist on a two-lane highway, over double yellow, making me drive on shoulder, when there was no one behind me as far as the eye could see. Those two seconds he saved were definitely worth risking my family’s life.
