And I love it when people make a left from the right lane and vice versa.
Totally. I don't drive often, but I'm totally fine in DC proper. Put me in Virginia and I'm a total wreck (though I blame Virginia's aversion to ANY KIND OF SIGNAGE).

My main pet peeve is people being inattentive to their surroundings. I have to run about a half mile through my neighborhood to get to my running paths and people weaving around the sidewalk staring at their phone, walking four abreast, etc. piss me off. Share, dammit!

OMG. You are so not kidding. In Wisconsin, there are road signs like every two feet. I'm perpetually afraid of getting a speeding ticket because it will be miles before I see a sign.

I'm loving the 70 mph speed limit on the highways though.

I've lived in DC for 5 years and I still haven't figured out how to get on the GW Parkway going south BECAUSE THERE ARE NO FREAKING SIGNS. I always end up at the Pentagon somehow. Once I get turned around, I can get on the parkway from the other direction, so it's just become an expected part of the journey. Ha!

People who see a cop and then go 10 under the speed limit. Seriously Mr. Cop is not going to pull you over for going the speed limit, I promise!
