People driving in the turning lane (suicide lane) like it is a merging strip or on ramp/off ramp.

On the northshore MF'ers have no clue how to use a merge lane to actually get ON the interstate but use the center turning lane like a merge lane like a PRO.

The markings in the center lane are quite obvious and they all indicate left turns only but people could not give a single F.

Morons who gotta read their text or send a text while sitting at a red light and the light turns green. Idiots are oblivious to the green light and it takes me sitting on the horn to snap 'em out of it.

I say, "Choot 'em"...(just joking!)

The percentage of cars on the road today that don't have cruise control must be in the single digits. If you're on the interstate and not using cruise control, you're an idiot and cause the kinds of problems described in the OP.

A lot of times I’ll be in the right lane with the cruise and 75 and idiots in the left lane who don’t know how to cruise speed up and slow down so either you have to pass them or they fall back in the left lane and have to pass you again


This. And half the time they are on a cell phone.

Did your car not come equipped with a horn?

I’m not looking around to see if the people behind me want to turn right. How fricking selfish for you to expect people to move over to the left lane at the last minute just so you can turn right.

I have and do. Of course I'm aware of my driving and how each action can create/avoid a problem unto me and others. But hey, that's just me.

All of the issues with traffic stem from having humans drive. once cars drive themselves there will be basically zero traffic.

I feel like I'm the only person that has a cruise control.


My biggest peeve, however, is someone waving you into or out of traffic when they have the ROW. You cannot give the right of way to me.

I was planning on crossing AFTER you, now you've stopped and my gap is impassable.
