1. People on mopeds going 20 mph holding up traffic when your on your way to work.
2. drivers in huge motorhomes going 45 mph in the left lane of the interstate.
3. drivers who can't use turn signals.
4. Drivers in clunkers that have NO brake lights.
5. Drunk drivers that wind up in my ER and blame the cops for arresting them.
6. drivers on cell phones,eating, reading newspapers on the way to work.
7. SUV drivers that tailgate.
8. People who see the speed limit sign and drive 15 mph under in good weather.
9. drivers 90 years old that have lost their skills and won't hang up their keys.
10. Small children in vans not buckled up in child safety seats.
11. drivers in pickups that pile stuff up in the bed and don't do anything to secure their load so it lands in the road in front of you.

That's a good one, forgot about that one. Yep, they have a huge Prius or something and they act like they are driving a big rig and have to turn way out past their lane when turning. They should have warning signs saying 'wide right turn' on these HUGE cars then, LOL.

I have 3 that I did not see mentioned...

1. When a 4 way intersection has a signal out or flashing people have no f'ing clue what to do. I see these morons all flying through as if nothing is wrong. Hey people it becomes a 4-way stop!!!!!

2. The right turn on red...it is supposed to be a right turn on red after stopping.

3. The dumba55's that pull out in front of me when there is no one behind me only to slow down to turn again.

I hate the smokers who flick their cigarette butt out of their open window just as I am passing and it inevitability lands on my hood or windshield.... what's up with that?

I've seen a lot of stupid stuff, but this morning there was a car in the left lane driving erratically, and I expected the woman to be on the phone or something. Nope... she was painting her fingernails!

The Prius in the left lane doing 55 who won't move over !!!!

People who are texting/talking on their cell phones ( w/o bluetooth ), putting on makeup, reading a book/newspaper, getting dressed, shaving, smoking pot/drinking alcohol while driving, and yes, I have seen all of these and more...

People who let their kids climb all over the car without carseats or seatbelts !

I love prius drivers that drive faster than I do bringing their gas mileage down to what everybody else is. Kinda stupid.

There is one thing worse that that, it is having the lit cigarette go into your helmet on a motorcycle. Beware the coffee drinker too! Those a-holes throw the rest of their coffee out of their windows.

You read my mind. I see this more than seeing them drive slow. Their driving 85 all the while telling us that were're the bad ones for having a gas hog.

oh, don't get me started on that. I had that happen to me and had a thread about it and we'll just say, I scared the crap out of that kid.

When my wife's Jetta diesel was new, we could get over 40MPG with the cruise control set to 80. Don't call the Prius folks out on mileage...you're gonna lose that one.
