    100% agree. Slow people in fast lanes really get my goat.

    More amusing than annoying.

    I hate the guy who cut me off for no reason last summer when there was plenty of room and I would have slowed down to let him in, but no he had to cut me off... so road rage got the best of me, I pulled up next to him and yelled a few words which insulted him enough to slam his car into the side of mine (just seconds after my friend had his arm out the window) almost into the concrete median then drive away.

    I also really hated all those people around me (atleast 30) that never stopped to see if we were ok or try and get their license plate.

    PS: we were ok, just Pissed off. Damage came to $2500.

    Agree with most all the points brought up

    I despise the driver who thinks they are better than you when it is obvious there is only one lane ahead and drive ahead of ya'll and then put on their signal to get let back in wayyyyyy ahead

    And drivers who don't acknowledge that you were courteous and let them into the flow of traffic...not a wave or nod

    Or those jerks who start honking at you because you are being courteous and letting someone in

    !!!!

    I get a kick of those that drive vans mostly and try to drag you at the lights...what's up with that?? I don't race but why would one race a van or some other piece of junk in the first place?

    I just started driving and have found the thing I hate the most.

    I will be driving on the highway leaving maybe a bit of room in front of me, maybe 2 car lengths, and a guy will come up behind while I am in the middle lane and tailgate me, than decided he has to pass, passes in the right lane and cuts me off, he is still going the same speed and then he will just stay there.

    Isn't this something that absolutely pointless and dangerous at the same time.

    Same here in Florida but they'll ride your @zz even if there's traffic all around and no place to go (to get out of their way). And it's always a young woman, probably because they know, when pulled over, a bit of tears will set them free. Most of the time they're so close, at 80 mph plus, you can't see the car in the rearview mirror, only the girl's faces. They might as well be in the back seat (if I had one). In the meantime, while you're concerned about being punted into the median, another young b***h is zooming in on the right trying to fill the 1.2 car length buffer in front of you. Then she'll immediately swerve in and brake to avoid plowing into her next victim. There could be twenty cars using up both lanes, all 10 feet apart, and these ladies will continue this for miles. I-75 between Orlando and Lake City is really bad but I-10 between Lake City and Tallahassee is murderous.

    At what point do I interpret this as "Assault" and at what point do I need to defend myself and my family? This kind of aggressive driving is a lot more dangerous then the lone vehicle traveling 10 to 15 over the limit on the interstate.

    "assault: A crime that occurs when one person tries to physically harm another in a way that makes the person under attack feel immediately threatened. Actual physical contact is not necessary; threatening gestures that would alarm any reasonable person can constitute an assault."

    I think you guys have pretty much covered everthing the aggravates me except:

    People traveling in the opposite direction that wait to honk at you right when their horn is
    next to your ear.


    I went around a yellow line to avoid a broken bag of plaster/white powder stuff that fell off a truck in my lane. I'm back in my lane with absolutely plenty of distance before any oncoming traffic. Literally 30-45 seconds later, a car coming the other way, waits until he's right next to me and blows the horn in my ear.

    or another instance:

    Im waiting to make a right turn and a pedestrian is crossing the street. The car behind me lays on the horn because they want me to cut the guy off and make the right directly in front of him.

    I did and wasn't being sexist; just stating the facts based on my observations. I'm pretty certain that I can tell the difference between a man and a woman from 10 feet away ;)

    The ones I am bothered most by are:
    #1 The "two footed driver", who always show brake lights even when accellerating.
    #2 "Dude in a Dodge Ram Pickup", PITA tailgater that backs off only for a few days when gas spikes above $3 per gallon.
    #3 "Ontario plates" They never seem to know where they are, or where they are going.
    #4 "Generally slow drivers" The 3 second pause on a green light, coast to hope for a red light, or Sunday cruiser during rush hour all qualify as this type.
    #5 "Cigarettes stink, let me throw them at ya!" These people must smoke, but flick the ashes and butts out the window.
    #6 "Piss from a trucker" similar to "Cigarettes stink..." but with a bottle of piss that they are too lazy to stop at a restroom to fill. Lots of inadvertent roadside lemonade stands are being made these days.

    :(

    Mine is people that cut too close in front of me when I am driving my huge diesel pulling a race trailer. BTW, 90% of the miles on my truck are towing 10K plus and it gets better mileage around town and on the highway than my G or F430.

    The thing I hate is when the police are driving 5-10 mph under the speed limit on the highway. Every other driver is too scared to pass them, so it jsut creates a huge bottleneck. I, of course am the one person who does pass them. :)

    I've already said, but after seeing this a few times this week TURN YOUR GD HEADLIGHTS ON YOU MF'S!!!!!

    I honestly think some of these gauge cluster displays that are brightly lit all the time are a big part of the problem.

    The kind that have the flashing lights on the top of their cars, why must they pull me over and put an immediate stop to my illegal activities as a motorist?
