For me in this order.

1. Cell phone usage while driving
2. Eating while driving
3. Ladies putting on make-up
4. Louisiana drivers
5. Red light runners

Oh my god. Only FIVE?

1. Slow drivers in the passing lane!
2. Slow drivers in the slow lane!
3. Slow drivers period!
4. People/drivers/mostly from other countries that don't understand how traffic is supposed to flow.
5. Drivers that brake for no apparent reason!

1. No blinker
2. Pulls out in front of me and can't even go the speed limit
3. Passes me then slows down....passes me then slows down....passes me then slows down (on interstate)
4. Sits at green lights
5. 18 wheelers that expect me to back up so that they can turn

All VERY good ones also.....

1.) Those who have no idea that you can actually turn right on red.
2.) Those who attend church on 69S between Tyler and Flint. The cars you are pulling out in front of are going 70, keep that in mind.
3.) Complete morons who can't grasp the concept of 2 left-hand turn lanes. Hint: quit trying to make a u-turn from the right LH turn lane. Doesn't actually turn out too well.
4.) Lost people. It's okay to be lost, but going 20 down Broadway at 5:15 isn't gonna help you that much. Also when you are lost in a neighborhood, find yourself over by the curb. It's just courtesy.
5.) People who don't have the dexterity to park within the lines of a parking space. (note to person who had trouble Tuesday night: either you were too stupid to know it or did it on purpose, but if I can only open the driver's door to my car 2 inches, you might want to re-park it. Send me an estimate on the paint that "inadvertantly" got chipped after I climbed through the passenger side and opened my door.......twice.)

Sorry, couldn't stop at 5.
6.) Left lane interstate fools who go 60. I realize that you want to be in the correct lane when you get to Terrell, but you don't have to get over in Lindale.
7.) Drivers of bicycles in the Bullard area. 98.5% of you guys are perfect. But you really need to weed out that 1 guy in every pack who insists on riding the center line. Don't get mad, there isn't an actual minimum number of inches that I must miss you by, just as long as I miss.
8.) Harley riders on Sundays. I know you have the Michelin woman riding with you and she looks cool in her do-rag, but buy her a longer shirt or some diet pills. Congrats on being able to handle your bike with that on the back though.

1. People who ride my bumper. I'm going the speed limit. If you want to go faster, pass me. If you don't want to go faster and you are still riding my bumper, QUIT BEING A JERK!!
2. People who drive too slow. Most people on the road have somewhere to go. We're not in a hurry, but we are on a schedule. Get out of our way.
3. People who drive too fast. Unless you are headed to a fire, there is no reason to double the speed limit.
4. People who don't use cruise control. Come on pick a speed already.
5. People who cut me off. Do you want me to run into the back of your car? Tired of making car payments? Hate living? What's the deal?

Threejs, you kill me with number 8. Gonna give you an AMEN brother. You know there is nothing better than a fine biker babe. Really it is a classic. But OMG!!! How do they control that? Heck it is all I can do to control mine when I see it.

People who drive in the left lane
People who drive in the left lane
People who drive in the left lane
People who drive in the left lane
People talking on cell phones

That's a great list.

I hate when people pull out infront of me,especially on 70 roads, and they go around 55 and I have to slam my breaks to avoid a collision. That's probably my biggest peeve. I can understand trying to pull out infront of a crowd and then stomping on it to get out of the way but come on.

I agree with your list, except I would put #2 at the top of the list.

1) People who suddenly speed up when I try to pass them.
2) People who suddenly speed up to cut me off when I'm trying making a lane change.
3) People who refuse to acknowledge the existence of yield signs.

"Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?" -George Carlin

1. 18 wheelers turning onto 155 or onto i 20. you see us coming, we get 20 yards away from you and now your going to pull out? just cause your bigger dont make you right.

2. people who stop at a merge lane waiting on the light to turn red. nobody's coming so merge.

3. guys riding crotch rockets with the mohawk helmets. we get it. your cool.

4. vehicles have turn signals for a reason. use them.

5. the guy driving to tyler at 5:45am from winona hauling butt in the green dodge pickup. if i am in front of you turning into the left hand lane onto 155 how in the heck can you beat me there? your an idiot who when i ever get the chance to get your license palte # i will report you.

Some of these are repeats, but I have to put my two cents in:

1. Cell phone/texting while driving.

2. That handle with your windshield wiper knob at the end is also used to activate your blinkers.

3. When the light turns green, you may go.

4. Slower drivers on the interstate should stay to the right.

5. Ok, your driving down the interstate anywhere. Your in the left lane with the cruise set and you are making time. You come upon a long line of 18 wheelers. About the time you get to the one 6th from the front, he decides to whip over in front of you making you slam on your brakes because he is fixing to take you out and then it takes him 20 miles to get to the front of the line because he won't come off his cruise control and he is only going 1 mph faster than the other trucks.

1. Rolling Road Blocks - I know the speed limit, that doesn't mean everyone has to drive the speed limit. Leave the fast lane open for vehicles that drive 5-10 miles over the speed limit.
2. In the city or anywhere for that matter, do not rubberneck for an accident. There is nothing you can do, watch the emergency vehicles, but keep moving.
3. Especially in East Texas, if you like to drive slower than the speed limit, or see someone driving faste than you on two lane roads, pull over to the side of the road. The worst road is Highway 31, Highway 64 doesn't have many miles of extra pavement on the sides. If you pull over, you will get a salute. If you don't you'll get the Bud Adams/Michael Vick salute as I pass by.
4. Cell Phones, some people can't drive with two hands, much less one. I learned to drive with my knees in high school, evidently everyone doesn't have that skill.
5. I learned this before kindergarten. 1. Red means stop 2. Green means go 3. Yellow means go really fast (wait it means caution).


I agree with blinkers.

Those that pass you and almost side swipe you only to turn off the highway about fifty yards up the road......makes you want to help them make the turn......lol

Had that happen to me outside of Paris once, but it wasn't even fifty yards. The very moment he got ahead of me while still in the oncoming traffic lane he pulled straight over to the right shoulder and turned into a liquor store. Must have had the shakes coming on bad to be that impatient.

18 wheelers side by side on I-20 going 60 mph for miles and miles while traffic backs up behind them!

I've been ticketed on I-20 for going 80mph, I had to, to keep from getting rear ended. I'll get stopped for going 10 over the limit while people are flying past me at around 90 or so. I think he stopped me because I was driving slow enough for him to catch up with me. Thanks a lot DPS!

People who turn on their turn signal in the middle of a turn.

The cell phone / texting thing. We need a new law!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And, when someone gets on my bumper and takes the air off my spoiler and puts me into the wall. Man, hate it when that happens!

1) Texting and driving is worse then drinking and driving

2) People who weave in and out of traffic to gian that extra car length.

3) People who try to sneak to the front of the merge lanes when traffic is backed up

4) Passing on the interstae with the cruise set.

5) People chilling in your blind spot.

I hate your #3 and #5, as well. I travel on a lot of highways, not the 64 to Canton to Dallas, and 31 to Longview anymore. I drive defensively, but I hate someone driving 15 miles under the speed limit that doesn't seem to know how to get out of the way.

I don't mind #4, because I look in my rearview mirror for those that desire to drive faster than me. That's common courtesy, move into the slower lane, and let them pass. Just don't create a rolling road block by staying at the same speed as others in all three lanes. Either speed up, slow down, and give proper distance between vehicles so that others may pass. Just because you want to drive 35 in a 55, doesn't mean others want to drive at your pace.

Drivers who run red lights,and stop signs.
Drivers who follow too close.
Drivers who who pull in to an intersection too far to see while trying to turn right.
Drivers who talk on cell phones while triving.
Rude drivers.

5. refusing to use turn signals
4. not stopping at the designated stopping point at intersections
3. feeling the need to hurry up and pull out in front of people then going 10 miles UNDER the speed limit
2. slowing to nearly a complete stop BEFORE going into the turn lane
1. not turning right on red. it's legal. DO IT!!!!

I would settle for a higher percentage of people turning right on GREEN without stopping completely.

1. Drivers using "LEFT TURN ONLY" lane to enter the roadway.

#3 irks me to, what is the purpose ? That leads to #2, I've known every town that I live in like the back of my hand. Do they want to turn left or right, why is there indecision ? Did they forget where they are going from one moment to the next or are they from out of town ?

I detest that, too.

People always look at me funny when I stop them for that violation.

Couple of weeks ago, hubby and I were coming back from somewhere... took a shortcut. This young punk girl runs a stop sign, of course, I honk, I'm driving a one ton dually... danged near hit 'em... the heifer stops, throws out the finger, and acts like she's getting out of her wittle car......and starts screaming a ton of obscenties...

Hubby and I were already coming out of the truck... and she jumped back in and sped off....

At some point, we come up behind them, and they pull into a store.. hubby says, PULL IN THERE... I told him he was crazy, we weren't going to jail for beating the heckie pooh out of some white trash little punk wanna bes....

It took him 2 days before he finally agreed with me on that... LOL! Ten years ago, I'm afraid we both would've gone to jail... LOL!

---------

Now, saying all that... the worst to me is... if YOU ARE going to turn... TURN THE FREAKING BLINKER ON!

how about some clod in a great big roaring hurry passing you and slamming on their brakes to turn right.... and you are pulling a trailer loaded with horses. it takes a lot longer to slow down with that much weight behind you, not to mention the horses don't have hands to hold on with. because they are jerks, i have to stand my horses on their noses to keep from running over that cuted little car that would be mashed like a bug if i hit it. makes me furious!!!!!

Been there/done that; however... LOL!...that's when you back off those idiots, and stay a LONG distance BEHIND 'EM... literally.... you ought to see when I was hauling that 48 foot LQ trailer in big towns... boy, did I ever irk some people by going SLOW! LOL! My cargo was worth much more than their stupid little cars or trucks...

There's a town in Texas that I used to show during the Fall circuit...every time I hit that town, because the lanes were so freaking narrow, I took up 1 1/2 lanes. No way I was going to tear up that trailer!

Jayde, if you ever happen to go through Sulphur Springs - be prepared... undoubtedly, some idiot will do exactly as you described! ALWAYS!

That's not defensive driving. I agree with it. I've seen a lot of truckers on highways try to commander roadways however by using their drafting abilities, and what was the purpose ?

I think you all have covered everything that makes me mad about other drivers while driving on the road. But then there is the parking lot:
1)People who think the speed limit is the same in the parking lot as it was on the road they just exited from.
2)When you politely wait for a car to pull out of a parking space, and then someone zips right in to the spot, nearly taking out 2 old ladies and the cart corral to beat you to it.
