I have to agree with whoever said (I think it was bucutie) about people tailgating you when you're already in the right hand lane! Hello?? Left lane...it's there so you can pass me. Plus I'm usually already speeding so I'm not going to go faster so I can be the one to get the ticket.
Here in B'ham they call rubbernecking "Onlookers Delay" Every radio station in the morning gives the traffic report and almost ALWAYS the main reason for traffic slowing is the onlookers delay.
Other pet peeves include drivers who don't know where they are going but instead of being safe drivers they are a hazard to everyone on the road. I understand what it's like to drive in unfamiliar areas but please, people...pull over at a gas station to read your map. Don't swerve in and out of lanes and slow down/speed up so that you almost cause an accident evey 5 feet.
Unsafe drivers in general. The ones that think they rule the road. Speeding and tail gating, cutting you off (and then acting like it's your fault when you honk)People who aren't paying attention, etc. My dad always said he wasn't worried about me driving, he was worried about the other idiots out there. How true that usually is. Oh wow did I have some near misses on my latest trip to West Palm Beach....
And the last one for now...people who take FOREVER to make a right hand turn. I'm not talking about sharp or narrow turns either..I'm talking about regular RH turns onto a street. It's like some people think they have to STOP completely in order to turn safely. This morning on the way to work this happened and I almost got rear ended b/c the person was taking so damn long to turn. Errrr....
OK I'm done now. Have a good day
