Ohhh...where to begin?
Driving in the passing lane and NOT passing anyone.
Tailgaters
Driving below the speed limit, not yielding to faster drivers
Not reaching highway speed before merging onto the highway
Failure to use indicator lights
Throwing cigarette butts out the window
Throwing litter out the window
Texting while driving
Talking on cell while driving and not paying attention.
Braking for no apparent reason
Driving slow, then when I go to pass, you speed up. JERKS!
People who slow down when they are driving next to a semi truck.
Not properly restraining your children and pets in your vehicle.
I'm sure there are more, but these are the ones I encountered on my commute this morning. And yeah, I have issues with drivers.
ETA: People who cut in line in traffic, typically at a busy exit or in merging construction zones. I do my best to stop people from doing this.0 -
People who can't even seem to drive the speed limit. You get behind them in a no passing zone or heavy traffic where you can't pass and then as soon as you get to where you can pass them the *kitten* speed up to 65 or so and you have to go 70+ to get around them because as soon as you can't pass again they are right back to 45 mph. UGH! Pisses me off every single day on my 45 minute drive to work all on a two lane highway.
This right here!
I had a coworker that bragged about doing this and she said she doesn't think people should drive fast and she will make sure that she prevents as many people as she can. She drives under the speed limit but purposely gets in the fast lane.0 -

All of this.. I'm sure there is more.
I hate driving. I live in California and we get a lot of traffic. I deal with idiots on a daily basis and it drives me nuts. It's really not that hard to drive but apparently people have difficulty with it.0 -
I can't stand people who don't look in their blind spots!! Drives me nuts!
Or when there are two lanes that turn and the driver on your left decides to get in your lane after the turn without looking. Happened to me last night, grrrrrr!!0 -

I can't understand not at least going the speed limit, especially when there's no bad weather. What shocked me was twice in one night, two people I had gotten stuck behind, both driving under the speed limit, actually pulled over and let me pass. I thought I was in the Twilight Zone.0 -
Sounds silly, but when people coming in the opposite direction don't acknowledge when you've let them come past you, all they have to do is a smile or little wave. i end up sticking my thumb up sarcastically to them as they drive by.

I'd reply with all my complaints but there's so much with Tampa driving that makes me nuts I'd probably exceed the post length!!
I ride a motorcycle so I guess my biggest beef is "distracted drivers"
You know, the ones texting, or yakkin' on the cell phone, or putting on makeup/shaving/doing hair.
I can't tell you how many times I've almost been taken out by inattentive drivers!
Look twice, save a life!! :flowerforyou:
And yeah I hate drivers who txt and drive. I want to scream :explode:0 -

:laugh: I do the same thing! Even to the guy who completely cut me off coming from across the street this morning. Seriously, I drive a Jeep, how do you not see it?!0 -
People who are turning left and dont know what the frig the turn lane in for. They slow down in the ongoing lane and move to the turn lane at the last possible moment. Thats what the turn lane is for.
In my office park, some of them never make it into the turn lane at all. It's a 3 lane road, and they're sitting still in the right lane with their left turn blinker going...MOVE. If it's morning and I'm on my way TO work it's not a problem, not in a hurry to get there, LOL! But if I'm trying to get home at the end of the day I get annoyed.0 -

Yep all of the above !!!0 -
You would hate Texas, the drivers here in Dallas are straight up reckless. I'm never surprised when I hear that there is an accident involving a fatality here.
I have stopped driving on the freeways here because it scares the living daylights out of me, not worth losing my life over!0 -
My apartment complex has a roundabout and the past two days I have gone through it correctly I have almost been slammed into because some *kitten* takes a shortcut. Then they honk at me like I'm the problem. One day I wont stop and I'll gouge them in court for everything they have.

Oh I did think of one - here in San Antonio, we use Yield signs for pretty much EVERYTHING. And rarely do people know that yield does not mean stop. That makes me a little nuts.
Actually yield signs do mean that you MAY have to come to a stop to yield to traffic that has been deemed to have the right of way. We have the opposite problem in Dallas, no one observes that they must yield to oncoming traffic and instead blow through the yield and literally run you off the road. This has happened to me 4-5 times now since I moved here, so glad I carry excellent collision coverage! :noway:0 -
Old people forming a motorcade around me.0

I have road rage, serious road rage and most of my rage stems from drivers who are irresponsible and make stupid decisions!! I have been in 9, yes NINE, car accidents and NONE of them were caused by me (the last was weather related) and almost ALL of them could have been prevented!! UGHHHH I am a little off topic but I saw stupid drivers and had to comment on my rage!!!0

A few weeks ago I got hit by a guy turning into the wrong lane. There were two left turn lanes, and I was on the inside one. He started in the outside turn lane, and tried to turn into the inside lane, hitting me. Then he tried to say that I was in his lane, until I showed him the lines painted on the road.
Everybody does this at this intersection. I grabbed a screenshot from Google maps to show my friends, and it showed another driver doing the same damn thing. A week later, one of my Facebook friends was upset that she actually got a ticket for turning into the wrong lane - she couldn't believe it. As a result, I have started making sure that I am always in the outside lane.
I also can't stand people who drive on the shoulder to go around traffic. Completely illegal. It especially ticks me off when they are in my way when I am in the right turn lane, trying to turn.
But perhaps the worst are the ones who refuse to share the road with pedestrians. They come to an intersection and stop in the crosswalk, forcing pedestrians to veer into traffic to get around them. Or they turn right at a red light in complete disregard for anyone trying to cross with the crossing light. Recently my kids and I were crossing in a crosswalk, with the light, when a driver who wanted to turn right on red approached the intersection and started honking at us. He couldn't wait 15 seconds for us to finish crossing. Another time, some guy tried to edge past my teenaged daughter while she was crossing, and actually hit her and knocked her down. Didn't even stop. :-(0 -

The only time this happens here in SA is when you have to yield to people exiting the highway - then everyone speeds up and blows through the yield. Otherwise, it's treated as a stop sign instead of a "yield the right of way" sign.0 -
We get an extraordinarily large amount of people who feel that although the light has already turned red (and has been red for 3-4 full seconds), since the cars in front of them got to go, them should also get to go... :grumble: Also, people in big ol' full-sized pickups with lift kits and the whole nine yards pulling way out to see to pull out when I'm there first in my little Corrolla - dude - you should be able to see from a mile away! Don't be a jerk! 0

Oh, I hate when I'm trying to turn out of a driveway and the person next to me keeps creeping forward so I can't see around them!0 -
I drive fast, but I drive well. I hate it when I'm cruising along loving the ride when some slow poke pulls out in front of me. :grumble:0
-
I feel the same way.0

I just got cut off by a jerkwad trying to use the shoulder as a turn lane while I was turning from the actual turn lane. Grrr. ????0

They pull out in front of you, make you slow down, then turn 15 seconds later, which causes you to slow down again.
I find, if they wait 30 seconds, nothing is ever behind me; Grrrr..0 -
People who don't signal when they're turning or merging. If you don't signal, get off the road.0

Do bicyclists count?0

Come to Bahrain and see how the Saudis drive...... :explode:0
-
Driving in Bahrain: you share a 3 lane highway with people driving much slower than the speed limit in the middle lane and people driving much faster than the speed limit weaving in and out of the other cars, and you have to second-guess what everyone's going to do, because no-one uses indicator lights.
Oh and don't forget the people who drive at night with no lights on, they just appear out of nowhere like they have a Romulan cloaking device.
And people who enter the highway going from the slip road to the middle lane at 70% of the speed limit without even checking their mirrors....... never mind blind spots, they don't even check their mirrors. Oh and then they beep their horn at YOU when you have to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting them.
Oh and Saudi drivers who take a lack of lane discipline to new extremes, as in they seem to think that the lines separating the lanes are just for decoration or that they're supposed to drive with one wheel either side of the line.
And Saudi parking... the car parks here have one way systems, and the parking spaces are angled so you can get in easily..... I've seen Saudis drive the wrong way around them, then get all confused when the parking spaces are all pointing the wrong way, and then they do car gymnastics to try to get into them. Which would be hilarious if it wasn't for the fact that they're blocking the way of everyone who knows how to follow a one way system.0 -
Drunks and texters piss me off because they are actively choosing to put others' lives at risk. :mad:0
-
People who cut in line
Distracted drivers
and I know it's a parking thing and not a driving thing but taking up more than one spot in the lot.0 -
The simple fact of someone in front of me p****s me off :explode:0
