wow i wish we were getting gas for under $3/gallon =/ i filled up the other day and gas was $3.499/gallon for premium and just 3 blocks down the shell was $3.599/gallon lol insane!
oh i hate when i'm going about 75mph on the fast lane and there's no car in front of me...but the dude on my right lane will merges into my lane and don't speed up and goes slower =/
also bugs the hell out of me is when at a stop light the car in front don't signal to turn left until the light turns green

1. People who are turning left but don't go into the intersection. After left turn signal they might just sit at the light until it goes to red and back to left green.
2. People that roll past the stop sign and block part of the road. You turn left and their front end is almost in your turning lane.
3. People who take too long backing out of a parking space. They will sit there with reverse lights on and won't move. They might also look the wrong direction backing up or through their rear view mirror instead of over their shoulder.

I think my tax money can be better spent than sitting on the side of the road trying to raise money by harrassing citizens for doing 5-10 miles over an antiquated speed limit. Go solve a crime.

People that slam on the brakes when they see a cop and/or will not pass one.
People that come speeding up behind you (or someone else) and slow down to your speed once they get on the side of you

People who don't stay in their lanes X 5. (Something I've only experienced on the East Coast, most notably in Philly).
a. People next to you who want to get into your lane, but instead of signaling or getting your attention first, they just slowly drift over.
b. Big SUVs shooting down the middle of the road because they can't judge how much clearance they have on either side of them.
c. People who are too impatient to slow down when the car in front of them makes a right turn, so they drive into on-coming traffic without looking or slowing down.
d. People who make really wide right turns or really sharp left turns and nearly clip your car.
e. People who do any of the above, but suddenly realize they are idiots and stop in the middle of the road and can't decide what to do next. They think that by sitting really really still for a really really long time, they become invisible and the problem goes away.

I'm sorry but if you can do better, please be my guest and try to do their job. If your not dodging in and out of traffic then they might not care. Cause I know I've gone past cops doing 5-10mph and they don't care.

I hate it when people act like idiots and fly past you just to be stopped by a car ahead, and then when you speed up to get next to them when you are about to pass them, they cut right in front of you and miss your front end by about 6 inches. I can not tell you how many times I want to speed up, tap their back end and send their dumb asses into the side of the road... PIT Maneuver FTMFW!!!!

what bothers me more than anything else? people who drive around with their high beams on. Now I just machine gun 'em with my bixenons and feel better though. i almost want to get my driving lights up and running again just so I can blast these guys some more.
but yeah, the usual. if you're going 35 in a 45 on a one-lane road, i don't expect you to stop outright but if there's a pulloff and you have a car behind you, you're NOT in a hurry. let them BY. i've done some maneuvers i'm less than proud of because of these people.
people who get mad when you high beam them for getting in front of you and slowing down... etc
i think the $4xx for a deafening air horn would actually be money well-spent in my case. if you get on your horn then people get pissed. but if you deafen them they freak out and move.
i wonder who actually reads what everyone else is posting.

1. Not signaling a lane change and turns.
2. Illegal lane changes (changing on solid lines).
2: Headlights off when raining, low visibility, and at dusk.
4. Divers at nigh just using daytime running lights (no taillights on).
5. Drivers holding a cell phone (had a 3 month old Altima totaled by one).
6. Cars in middle or left lanes moving slower than cars on the right.
7. Trucks and buses in the left lane when they're prohibited.
8. Rubberneckers

Have any of you ever visited www.platewire.com?
This is a website where you can actually post the plate #s of drivers who tick you off. Beware, however, the site is heavily inhabbited by SUV-driving, oblivious, self-righteous, downright assanine idiots who: support going the speed limit in the passing lane to help "control the widespread speeding problem", complain about HID lights being "dangerous", think radar detectors should be illegal and so should "right on red", and think you should never pull over to the left when taking a left turn because it's too dangerous to allow people to pass on the right, whether there is a light or not.
Also, any attempt to dispute these ideas using cheap, tedious tactics such as logic, reason, or law, will result in a permanent
At least, that was my experience for the three days it took me to get banned, for disputing the afore mentioned topics.

I hate people who don't stay in their lanes. I live in CT where a bunch of the roads I take are back roads, with many turns, that can make for a very fun drive. However, people feel the need to cut corners blindly, and really put a lot of people at risk. And yet, they're the ones who get mad because of people speeding.

What's even more dangerous are the people who run red lights, turning left. The other direction of traffic has the green and unless you check both ways before you accelerate, you could easily get in an accident.
Some people are willing to sacrifice a lot just to save 30 seconds

Look, I have nothing against police doing the job of protecting us from CRIME. For the most part I think police do an excellent job. Face it, speeding tickets are nothing more than revenue (read as tax). I am for police ticketing for unsafe driving, reckless driving, swerving from lane to lane, racing, and a host of other dangerous acts morons do while driving (cell phones). Doing 5-10 miles an hour over the speed limit (which was set in the 60's when cars weren't as safe as today) is not a crime. And while a police officer sits on the side of the road watching for someone that draws his attention, somebody is dealing drugs or committing another real crime. It is not the police officers fault, they are doing ther jobs as they are told to do them, it is the fault of legislature who tells them to go out and gather some revenue.
And for the record, I will be for ticketing speeding when they also start to ticket obstruction of traffic, and driving slow in the passing lane...or have you forgotten that "slower traffic keep right" is also the law? Apparently the law has.

Also being called a cop is still more respectable than other derogatory terms. I guess the TV show "Cops" must not respect them either.
And yes I do have a clean driving record.

* People who pull out of side streets into a right lane when you are running down the left lane of the two and they end up half way in your lane so you end up slamming on your brakes to miss hitting them. This is not only idiotic and illegal (not safe to merge into traffic), if you want/need to move over into the right lane and end up doing this when they pull out, you= T-bone 'em or they leave a nice long @ss strip of damage on the side of your vehicle.
* People who are oblivious to the fact that when you pull out of a side street... YOU HAVE TO LOOK BOTH WAYS!
* People who do not move over to let someone go by that is speeding up on your @ss... Just let them by! Freeway or 2-lane road... It doesn't matter.
* Semi drivers who speed up to stop you from merging in front of them when getting off of the on-ramp so you have to floor it to miss em!!! F*ck em!
* Old grannies who turn left from the left side of the road into your lane of travel and miss the side of your car by millimeters as you swerve to the right and continue to go straight.
Ohh Ohh Ohh.... People who are too busy F*cking around in their car to realize the left turn lane light is green and then the cars in front of them go and the sensor in the ground trips and the light changes just in time for them to go through and you are stuck at the light for another round!!!
* And after reading some of these posts, next time someone sits in the left lane on a highway and will not move over, I am going to move around them on the right, get in front of them and slow my @ss wayyy down until i feel like taking off and leaving them in the dust (or until they attempt to move into the right lane to pass me).
