People who insist on whizzing past an stopped ambulance, at a crash scene, at 80 mph without moving to the furthest lane.
People who use thier Cruse Control during winter weather, rain, or fog.(Because I get called out to scrap their sorry a$$s off the interstate.)
Aibags - No standardized way to disable after an accident, if it didn't deploy. Just pray it doesn't go off during an extraction.
People who insist on drinking (adult beverages), then getting behind the wheel. Taxi, bus, spouse, friends would all be a suitable alternative, and most would prefer to see you alive tomorrow.
And I'll second all the comments on cell phone users, left lane pokies, map readers, makup artists, tailgaters, etc.
Don't get me wrong, I volunteer as an EMT, because I want to help, and I enjoy it. But I get tired of all the nasty stuff that could be avoided if people just paid attention to the task at hand, and did it with respect for others - Driving.
