Here's my Top Ten List of driving pet peeves:
- Motorcyclists who feel that they do not have to wait in traffic like the rest of us because their motorcycles can go between the cars stuck in traffic.
9.Cars behind me in traffic that will use the merge lane (for cars coming on to the highway) to cut in front of cars in front of them.
-
The second and third car that follows the first one through the light that has been red for at least a second.
-
School bus drivers who stop to pick up kids on very busy roads and stop traffic for minutes at at time. They should turn into a side street to load up the kids... not pick them up on a busy street.
-
Cops who think they there is no need for THEM to obey the traffic laws, such as obeying the speed limits (when they are just crusing around town in a non-emergency situation or when off duty) and not using their turn signals when they are turning or changing lanes. Oh, and for just passing on by when there are cars broken down on the side of the road. I thought they were there to protect and SERVE!
-
People who STILL will not leave the passing lane when they see that every car behind them is passing them on their right side when they fail to move over.
-
Friggin rubberneckers. How often do you see an accident on the OTHER side of the road and some nitwit is gawking at the accident scene and there is nothing but open road in front of him. That really infuriates me!
-
Those of you who have automatic toll paying devices in their cars may appreciate this one. In Florida, we have something called "Sunpass" which is a transponder which sends a signal to the toll booth so that you can drive the the toll plaza without stopping. I can't stand when people don't have a transponder and simply stop in the Sunpass lane. I have actually had a person behind me slam into me because a car in front of me did this. If you don't have a transponder, don't go through the Sunpass lane!!!! and if you mess up, just friggin' go through it! Don't slam on your brakes! Then there are the people who HAVE the transponder, but don't affix it to their winshield like they are supposed to, and instead try to look for their transponder in their glove box while they are slowing down to a crawl. This defeats the entire purpose of having the damned thing!!!
-
People who think that cigarette butts, drinking straw wrappers, chewing gum wrappers, etc. are not litter and feel perfectly free to just toss garbage out of their windows with impunity while they are driving. It may not be a soda can, but its still friggin' litter!
and last, but not least...
- Two words: "Women drivers!" (Just kidding!!!)
... sorta.... :o)
