Winnebegos and the like are great for that around here during tourist season.
North Dakota drivers like to wait at the end of their driveways for you to get close and then pull out in front of you.
Senior Citizens who pull into a business driveway and stop with the tail of their car hanging out on the road while they try to figure out which parking spot to take.
The drivers at Wal Mart who come down the wrong way of a parking aisle just as I am trying to back out with a tall pickup with topper next to me.
Deer and cattle that don't have the good sense to wait on the side of the road.
People walking in the dark along the road wearing dark clothes.
A certain local ethnic group that has members who will walk down the center of a two lane road in the middle of the night or, worse yet, lay down and sleep (pass out) in the middle of your lane at night.
Four cars getting to a 4 way stop at the same time and the drivers all trying to be Minnesota Nice and let the others go first. This is a traffic jam in my little town.
Tractors towing farm implements that are three lanes wide.
Trucks that are so long that they can't make a right turn from right lane to right lane.
Bright fog lamps at night when there is no fog.
: nothing worse than the guys that drive 40 mph on twisty one lane highways and then do 75-80 on the passing lanes so nobody can get by.
: : I drive primarily long-distances on uncrowded Interstates I-90, I-80, and I-25 using cruise control. One thing that really irritates me is for some driver to pass, cut over, and then immediately slow down for no apparent reason.
