actually, I have no problem heeding and leaving compromise space
if people would use their signals! (probably the more common problem
I see and think it should be higher than 5%+/-)

1, 2, 3, 4
These 4 happen so much where I live, and it is very annoying. I do not daily drive my Z because it would have been rearended 3 times in a 2 year period because of tailgaters. My daily driver is a truck that has 350 HP
3.73 LSD and I have been rearended twice by idiots that tailgate. Oh yea I forgot one I got rearended while sitting at a traffic light by a lady babbling on cell phone her honda was totaled. Alot of people where I live think a lot of Trucks are slow and cannot corner wrong.

Loud thumpin base from crappy window rattling subs especially when driver is supporting the jailhouse butt hanging baggy pants, driving riced anything that barely runs & is smoking a cigarette. Let him get cancer & improve the world..
Anyone can drive a new car.
A:
Having just come back from two years in Las Vegas, I would add "the race to the red light." You watch these guys whip in and out and around traffic damn near causing accidents just so they can sit next to you at the red light and do it all over again. Never saw anything like it on such a consistent basis.

A:
Drivers that run a stop sign when you are 10 seconds or less from the intersection so that they can get in front of you and do 10MPH less than the speed limit. What was their hurry?
A:
...fri71240: Ride the right side of your lane so they can see the vehicles in front of you when you are tailgated. They'll see the car in front of you that's slowing you down (and they can't POSSIBLY be in more of a hurry than you!) ...and keep the ball and hitch on...
Alot of people WILL change lanes to get an open lane before a light...too bad most don't give it a thought as the truck/tractor-trailer is now cut short on his stopping distance....just something to think about for those who do it! (and yeah, accid. might end up 'technically' his fault, but you lose!)

Have you shared the left lane today?
A:
--Soccer moms on the phone who floor thier 240 HP Honda minivan to merge in front of you when the road narrows, just to throw on the turn signal (or not) to turn into the gymnastics studio......I think this (or some other variation) happens to me weekly.
--Kids with thumping stereos at stoplights.
--Over-testosteroned, and undersized little men in 1 ton dually trucks that think they are sports cars.
A:
People who go 30 mph on the onramp to a busy interstate. How insanely risky is that?

agreed with cantzmee, I hate that. There's some things that are just annoying, but when people put me in a position that's dangerous, I let them know it if I can...
A:
Yuppies reading the Wall Street Journal on the way to work drinking their Starbucks talking on their bluetooth headset and and looking like a complete a**hole all the while.
A:
A particular left hand lane changeing tatic on I-5 south in Seattle just before the convention center heading south.
People will:
Turn on their turn signal
Ride the brakes regardless on any reason too.
Stick their arm out the window, fantically pumping their open hand up and down.
This actually works, they hold up the traffic behind them, the traffic gets held up behind the guy who slows down nearly to a stop to let them in.
I fell for this the first time I saw it. The WTF gland in my brain exploded and refused to let me proceed.

A:
13. ******* car drivers who move over into the bike lane.
I am going to assume this is in California, if so that means that the "bike" lane is the stripes between the "car lanes"
Never seen that until Ive been to california (even cops do it!), then subsequently at home where a "biker" got his bike crushed by an 18 wheeler while still being on it :(
I don't mind sharing the lanes with motorcyclists, but stripes are not a frickin lane. Think (BIKE < SEMI)

Ricers who think their cars are hot ****.

People who are too cool to turn their lights on when it's pouring down rain and/or it's dark as hell.
If your windshield wipers are on, there's no excuse for your headlights not to be.

Pete1978z: "It's not that I think stupidity should be punishable by death, I just think we should take the warning labels off of everything and let the problem take care of itself."
A:
1) People who drives with their pet on their lap.
2) People who drive with one foot sticking out the driver window or on the dash. Yes, I've seen it when I was down in SouCal. I thought maybe his girlfriend (or his boyfriend) is giving him a blow job or something.
How do these people ever get drivers license is beyond me. The DMV and its employees are a joke. They should make both exams harder so to eliminate the retarded people from the street. That should help ease the traffic problem as well.

i hate it when people pull out from a side street or parking lot when i'm right there...and i'm on the brakes hard to keep from hittin their dumba$$ and they accelerate as a speed that would be acceptable if i wasn't coming down the road!
A:
i believe if you make someone slow down by pulling out you shouldn't be pulling out.

You can turn right on a red light but you have to STOP FIRST and see if the way is clear before going.
Idiots who speed up so you have to slow down while you get on the freeway -
they have to be ahead of you so they can get off the freeway at the next ramp -
instead of just letting off the gas for two seconds so traffic can merge safely.

Its illegal to drive whilst on the phone here in Australia too. But the worse trend that has appeared, TEXTING while driving, now thats fkin stupid.
But the things that annoy me the most are people who merge too slow and as already stated people who see you coming when their coming up to a stop sign, look at you and pull out to get infront of you to only turn off...why did u have to put yourself and myself @ risk, slow me down just so you can turn 50metres up the road from where you cut me off, thanks arsehole!
