People who drive more than 1/2 mile with their turn signal on. If you don't know where you're going, get off the road.
People who drive across bridges with their turn signal on. I think they should be forced to turn. Since I have to cross four bridges every day, this really gets old.
People who don't use their signals at all. Especially well-eduacate people in ritzy cars. YOu'd think for $75,000 that a Mercedes would come with turn signals!
People who try to read maps while driving.
People who tailgate the guy in front of them, then feel it necessary to ride their brakes so you have no idea what they're going to do next.
People who swerve onto the shoulder to see what's happening up ahead. If you were following far enough back, you could see!
Old people who drive like old people.
Young people who drive like old people.
The collective stupity of St. Louis traffic at the first sign of precipitation. I've had days where my normal one-hour commute was in excess of five hours!
That jack@ss who feels it necessary to weave in and out of traffic.
Cell-phone users. Yes, I've got one, but I don't talk while driving (unless it's to call the boss to tell him I'll be late while stuck at a dead stop for no freaking reason!
Rubber-neckers... I hope their next. 'Nuff said.
We have a number of off-ramps that are extgremely busy. Traffic routinely backs up more than a mile at some of these. There's always that one guy who feels it necessary to parallel the slow lane until they get right up to the end, then cut over (usually cutting somebody off in the process. This guy should be shot.
I could be here all night, but Monster Garage is on.
