Although people not using turn signals can be somewhat annoying at times, that doesn't nearly frustrate me as much as the slow starts and driving 10-15mph slower than the speed limit. I think the reason why I'm so annoyed with it is because I've never witnesssed anything like this in other states. And it's not like it happens on occasion like it has done in other states I've lived in, but it happens every time I leave the house at least 3-4 times before I get back home.

Besides, the car in front of me isn't going faster than 80 either so Mr. Impatient Ride My Tail isn't going to get very far if he gets past me.

I really hate when all the lanes are going about the same speed (over the speed limit) and some joker is crazily going from lane to lane, as if they will break some magic spell and be able to get through if they keep switching lanes. I can't begin to imagine how tense these people are. It makes me want to sing Bob Marley to them "Don't worry, be happy".
It's not on the freeways, it's on the streets and at stop lights that it happens. When I'm on the freeway, I just flow with the traffic or do the speed limit. I never do below unless the weather is bad. I agree with you, I don't like impatient drivers especially if I'm doing the speed limit or flowing with the traffic, but I have issues with people who will not do the speed limit and rather than doing 50mph (the max speed limit) on a two lane street, they would rather do 35-40 and in both lanes. I don't get that. I've never witnessed this until I moved here. It's insanely ridiculous and it drives me up a wall.

Honestly? 95% of my driving is on the freeway. Other than that, it's pretty rural roads where I am so it's not bad. There are two roads/intersections that I avoid if I can because they are loaded with businesses and traffic is slow there. I stick to open roads mostly. But, that's part of why I choose to live way down here instead of where you are. Seems like most of the jobs I see posted are up your way though. I could be in for a helluva commute if I get a job up there.
