*People in who drive cadillacs are rated up there with the buicks for the slow driving.

*I hate parallel parking! :mad:

*Bonehead pedestrians who think they have the right of way when there's no crosswalk.

*People from out of state, or even worse, out of country. Some drivers from some states drive to slow, others too fast, and it is not that rare to see a foreigner driving on the OPPOSITE side of the road. :eek:

*This is not related to driving, but people who leave their college parking permits in their window since 1988 or have whole collection of them is annoying and tacky. :rolleyes:

actually, riding a bike on the side walk is illegal in many places if you are over a certain age. i think it's 12 or 14.

in NYC, you will get fined if you are on the sidewalk. they just had a big article in the daily news last week about how they are cracking down because it is so dangerous to pedestrians

Sad, but true. :(

1. The women who speed down the local bypass while PUTTING ON MAKEUP!!!!

2. Cars that come right at me in my lane--and when they screech back over into their lane at the last minute, they're on a cell phone!

3. The 90-year-old relatives of the folks in a nursing home on the same bypass who pull right out into traffic without looking for other cars. If I'm congratulating myself on getting past the nursing home without an incident, then those same relatives pull out of the hospital a mile down the road without, natch, looking.

Yes, it is illegal to ride your bide on the sidewalk past a certain age. I paid attention during drivers training :)

You know, not all cell phone drivers aggrivate me.

For example, I don't have a hands free headset because I rarely talk on the phone and drive. When I do, it's like a one minute call to say "I'm on my way" or "what movie do you want me to pick up?"

The cell phone drivers that make me nutty are the business men that are making deals or something and not paying attention to the road...or the teenagers who are like "look at me, look at me! I have a license AND a cell phone and I can use both at the same time! Aren't I cool?!?"
