Every driver that always has to TAILGATE me while I'm slowing down for a dip. Seriously, screw off! I know the car is attractive, but the way you're staying right behind me is going to make the car unattractive in a few seconds.

People who drive in the right lane with no intention of turning right at the next intersection.

People who sit at a red light in the middle of nowhere with no turn signal on, then when it turns green, they turn right. YOU COULD HAVE GONE THE WHOLE TIME!

I posted this story but it subsequently disappeared.

I am a tailgater-magnet. I do something that was enticed by driving techniques used to save gas. Coasting to red lights, etc. In heavy traffic on a highway/freeway, I let the car ahead of me get around five car lengths away. I slowly move towards the car ahead at a steady pace while that car goes 10 mph for two seconds, stops completely, goes 10 mph, etc...

I'm behind a Mini at a stop light. Light turns green, guy proceeds to drive normally. Dude takes like 30 seconds to get up to 45. The whole time I'm maybe a car length behind. I change lanes at the SAME time as this guy, into the same lane. I'm tired of this, especially considering the speed limit just increased to 50. I change lanes again, only to see this guy do the same thing. While this is happening, the dude is speeding up and slowing down. I finally just break free of this dude, and go into the other damned lane just to pass this insane-o freak. It's like 2am. No one else is out there. Need to make a left turn at the next stop light. Red light. The guy pulls up to me and screams out how window to "get off my ***, bitch." You're kidding me. I don't answer, he calls me a dumbass, and I drive normally, making a left turn. The dude pulls a holy torque steer batman and drives straight.

I have never felt my faith in other drivers drop so precipitously as that night.

I can't stand it when people break out of no where and then put their turn signal on WHILE they are turning. Happens all the time to me and it bugs the crap out of me.

I can't stand it when you're waiting to make a right or left and the incoming traffic does not put their blinker on until they are at the turn.

Texting/on the phone/otherwise distracted.

For years we have made fun of women putting on makeup. "LOL guys, women drivers" and now us men, and women, have taken to distracted driving as if it were part of our normal daily routine.

In short, every time I see someone weaving around, changing speeds, almost failing to stop and notice that they are holding a phone, I would really just like to kill them.

OMG! My better half calls this every time we see somebody driving erratically, and he is usually correct

People with slow reaction times when the light turns green. It's especially bad in my area. The light will turn green and people will sit there for a good 4-5 seconds before moving. I understand hesitating for a second or two just to make sure nobody's running the light from the other direction, but that's not what people here are doing. They're just plain absent minded and slow in the head. Like they're not even watching the light. I have a sneaking suspicion that rather than watch the light, drivers here like to rely on seeing the car next to them move forward to start moving themselves. But all too frequently, people with this mindset line up next to each other, so neither one moves. Until I lay on my horn.
