People who slow down when they see flashing lights of emergency vehicles on the OTHER side of the freeway. The Accident has nothing to do with them so why do you need to slow down with a concrete barrier between you and the accident.

Well, we'll just get her to turn the signal off. THEN there won't be any problem.

What irritates me the most about drivers are those who have the attitude that driving is a RIGHT, and, because it is a so-called " right" they can break any traffic laws they want. This attitude is often pushed by auto-enthusiast publications and magazines. Legally, driving is NOT a right....it is a PRIVELIDGE....and can be taken way.


Just like posting in the CL forums is a privelidge, too.

You removed your rear view mirror??? That's an accident waiting to happen - granted likely only a parking lot accident but what if it involves running over a kid?

people who change lanes without signaling....
an economy car TRYing to go fast (on an on-ramp)
tailgators ...on city streets when I'm already above speed limit.
people who cut infront of me in traffic when i drive to school

but...OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD (traffic) annoys me the most. I can't stand spending 20 mintues just to drive to school...so to spice up my morning commute, i cut in front of people who wait in the 1/2 mile long line for the onramp and speed like crazy....

1. Hit their windshield wiper fluid while driving and demolish your super clean car & spotless windshield!
*It always happens AFTER I just finish detailing the car It seems like they do it on purpose sometimes too!

2. In traffic I dislike it when people have their signal on and start to merge into your lane ever so slowly like they own that lane!

3. Flick their cigs out the window and they blow up on your hood or front bumper..

What annoys you?
LOL, this could only be written by someone from California. So far this year at my home in Lousyville, Ky. I have measured 51 inches of rain. Nobody bothers to detail cars here. Does save us a lot of time and grief.

My rear view camera takes care of that...I have to be a little more cautious while driving though.

That's silly. If you really don't want to gun it when you're being tailgated, just take the engine out.

My biggest annoyance? Drivers that pay no attention to others on the road. Like they're the only ones around, and their actions are careless and selfish to the point where they create dangerous situations everywhere they go.
